Mega Ran - The Meeting lyrics

..an old friend? Okay, let him in Verse One (Random) Hello Mega Ran, I know it's a surprise It's been a little while, what a sight for sore eyes Before you hit the stage I just wanted to say congrats Because you've cashed in on your pa**ion and I'm really proud of that - Newspapers websites adorn you with awards And I can hardly keep up man you're always on a tour You know, it's really awesome man, how everybody loves you And to think you almost quit, now look what it's come to While most indie rappers struggle, you make it look so simple Dope rhymes indeed but 8 bit instrumentals were the kicker Remember when we polly'd it on the block And you said you'd never change, no matter how awesome it got Well I couldn't help but notice you don't talk about those moments If I didn't know any better I'd think you had disowned us I was your biggest proponent, but you probably think I'm jealous Cause you're too busy being a star to kick it with the fellas You should be out in Ferguson speaking against injustice But it seems you got better things to do than to discuss it I wouldn't be a true friend if I didn't point it out Used to chalk it up to youth but I'm just disappointed now You said you'd come back for me, that musta been a lie So I came to holler at you and give a final goodbye Nothing personal bro, I still consider you a friend But we're way too different, so you'll never see me again Chorus (Edy Blu) No one but me can see my face In the shadows to the light, my saving grace No one but me can see my face Out the shadows to the light my saving grace Verse 2 (Mega Ran) Listen, as you said it's been a while since we last chatted And in that period Id say whole lot has happened I've been across seas, gained a little recognition I wish we could roll together but you just would never listen You were about the spitting and trying to make a difference And I was too, but how was I to make a living I watched you spend 11 months making the first record Rehearsing and perfecting it hoping to be respected But ultimately neglected press outlets, you were starting to doubt it I recovered the fumble and did something about it 8 years later I thought the remixes would move you But I was truly saddened they didn't meet your approval And I apologize for not standing on social issues And not blowing the whistle on all these corrupt officials But I'm the escape, my music can help them get through And if you going for good then Im seriously gonna miss you But you don't understand the pressure and the demands It was easy as Random it's hard as Mega Ran And what's the joy in being the broke dude who kept it real Can't change the community when you can't pay your bills But I promise to make sure they see a piece of you Cause you're the inspiration in every single piece I do But if this isn't pleasing you to see me live my dreams Then maybe we weren't quite as close as it used to seem Nah mean? Chorus No one but me can see my face In the shadows to the light, my saving grace No one but me can see my face Out the shadows to the light my saving grace (adlibs out)
