[Verse 1: Substantial] I stand tall 'cause I'm on the shoulders of giants Stand alone like a calm soul in a riot Studying the ways of the bold & defiant Who never chose to be silent Played the role of a lion Feeding those totally reliant On their wealth of wit instead of gold or some diamonds In a world known to be cold and it's violent I'm marching with Martin overthrowing tyrants Music up loud 'til it's roarin' like sirens Now they say my music is known for inspiring Maybe that Jun's with me and the spirit of Miles and Marley Or Parker's lyrical style that haunts me Plus I'm studying Nas, Com & Jill So I can make music it's hard not to feel Like Stevie No wonder we call that the real Believe me I'm as strong as foundation built Beneath me [Hook: Steph the Sapphic Songstress] If I have reached What seems to be the highest peak (It was on your shoulders) Though I was weak You showed just how far I could see (And the journey's not over) [Verse 2: Substantial] Me alone these accolades ain't meant for The man that I am is largely due to my mentors I try to do what I was sent for A long list of people should be sharing this splendor.
