'81 was the year %#@! hit the fan in a major way
I sat there for an inspiring artist
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle

Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
Pushing daises up
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap

%#@! on since the first show
But we turned feces to fertilizer
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow

Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
Too young to drive
But live hip hop

And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
Got name for playing ba!@&(ts and such and making songs that our friends loved
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish

We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother $#&@er like

So take a step back

And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up

You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now


So break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment

How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Shake up this town

And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it


This is what you wanted right?
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?

How many punishments endured for $#&@ing up in school?
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
My point exactly

But you knew you had a spark, did you?
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense

Stealing verses with that cash's clay confidence
Sometimes you stubborn as %#@!, that's the McCoy in you
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you

Just do your thing man

So take a step back

And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up

You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now


So take a step back
And a breath in

Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can do it tiger

You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now


So break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we are

So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment

So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it


We break ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we are

So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it


So take a step back
And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up

You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

So break ourselves down

And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment

So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
