[Sample: Marvin Gaye] I guess I'll have to say This album is dedicated to you Although perhaps you may not be too happy This is what you want [Intro] Yeah Its Rashid Hadee Its been a long time coming Its like the second time around Yeah Its like the second time around Check it out [Verse 1] I'm tripping off of melatonin This contact on the mic helps me gain focus To see clever Can't recognize the person in the mirror everyday Hood comes nearer Spent my years up for what will magically appear It turned my whole life around Is it just a dream or is it what it seems We living for the cream just to make it So we gotta make it n***as ain't got no way to earn it so they got to take it The hunger up inside of me is growing I'm fiending to taste it Feeling closer to God in a tight situation now I gotta get up, get out and get something Stand face to face with my situation, quit running away I want to stray from those troubling days I got to stay on point like the touch of a blade No matter See if you gone I'm the one that will stay I'm representing, resurrecting your name [Bridge] Chest One and I'm Rashid Hadee (?) Its a whole learning process You got to stay dedicated to this sh** [Verse 2] Hey yo I seen a lot And uh, did a lot They say we're destined for d**h before we can even hit the block So its like a lose-lose situation Make your lights blackout, like a blew fuse in the basement I want to leave this generation 'Cause the n***as that controlling it now Don't have a clue where to take it This underground sh** to me is straight sacred That's why I'm walking 'round back and forth in my room pacing Contemplating, carefully making my moves in this real life chess game Hey yo I'm sick of the stress, pain, and misery Only feel some alleviation from this gift that the music give to me When theme music to my life plays in the symphony Once you let it in you can never get rid of me I'm here to stay Once a n***a push play, I feel the aspects of a legend in my day Because What is real you can never take away, never fade away I save it for a rainy day n***a [Break] Yall n***as can't tell me I ain't come a long way n***a come a long way n***a built something out of nothing Straight n***a rigged and sh** You now f**ing (?) and sh** man I was just (?) that sh** up n***as need to respect up who laid the blueprint to this sh** Showing yall n***as the f**ing life I dedicate this to yall [Outro: Lou Rawls] I was born in a city the called the 'Windy City' And they call it the 'Windy City' because of the 'Hawk'. All mighty Hawk Talking about Mr. Wind kind of mean around winter time
