Carry the torches legendary when I put it on them
Never falling, cut the mixer like an alcoholic
Product of the culture man its well documented
Not forgetting were it started and exactly were we headed
Concrete embodiment, prophecy personified
Manifest destiny microphones getting amplified
Bring it back to where it's rooted for the spitter's and the shooters
When we rocked the crowd without using computers
Mad flavors tearing down the stages
Innovators from sentences on notebook pages
No handouts, free rides or favors
It's just my blood on the mic from crossfaders
Streets in my sneakers speaking for the people
Spread the message with the sound man comin out the speaker
That's my pedigree spitting for every melody
Too many came and went but this burner is longevity
Tearing mics we nice for all seasons
Never needed even for y'all to believe it
Never repeated doubt takin the scenic route
And when you in it for a minute man cats will get weeded out
Only getting out really what you put in it
So we grinded on the mic and sacrificed for every minute
Every second on the record for similes and metaphors
When I put it on them with the style of before
Don't mean to reminisce but I've been rocking ever since
Shell toe Adidas disappearing in the mist
The long awaited, spit it how I operated
Made it for the people to the heads I dedicated
Needle to the arm man the mic in the palm of my hands
Quitting on this shit wasn't a part of the plan
From the lineage play it in your stereo type
And legendary when I carry the mic
