[Intro]
Dedicate, Dedicate
This one right here goes out

To my homie with the dream, nah mean?

[Verse 1]

He said: "I write what I see
Write to make it right, don't like where I be
I'd like to make it like the sights on TV

Quite the great life, so nice and easy"
See: now you can still die from that
But it's better than not being alive from straps

Agreed, a Mead notebook and a Bic
That click when it's pushed and a wack-ass beat
That's a track that's weak that he got last week

Cause everybody in the stu' was like: "That's that heat!"
A bass-heavy medley with a sample from the 70s
With a screwed-up hook that went "stack that cheese"

Something something something, "stack that cheese"
Mother, sister, cousin, "stack that cheese"
He couldn't think of nothin', "stack that cheese"

He turns down the beat, writer's block impedes
Crying from the next room, a baby in need
Of some Pampers and some food and place to sleep

That - plus a black Cadillac on Ds
Is what keep him on track to be a great MC


[Hook]
One you never heard of, I
Push it hard to further the

Grind, might feel like murder, but
Hip-Hop, you saved me


One you never of, I
Push it hard to further the
Grind, might feel like murder, but

Hip-Hop, you saved my life

[Verse 2]

Reps North-side, so he rocks them braids
1100 friends on his Myspace page
"Stack That Cheese" got 700 plays

Producer made him take it down, said he had to pay
Open mic champ 2 weeks in a row
Ex d-boy with a b-boy flow

Glow like Leroy, you should see the boy go
Got a daddy serving life and a brother on the Row
Best homie in the grave, tatted up while in the cage

Minute Maid got his momma working like a slave
Down baby-momma, who he really had to honor
Cause she was his biggest fan, even let him use her Honda to

Drive up to Dallas, went to open up for amateurs
Let him keep a debit card so he could put gas in it
Told her when he get on he gon' take her to the Galleria

And buy everything but the mannequins, ya dig?

[Hook]

One you never heard of, I
Push it hard to further the
Grind, might feel like murder, but

Hip-Hop, you saved me

One you never of, I

Push it hard to further the
Grind, might feel like murder, but
Hip-Hop, you saved my life


[Verse 3]
His man called, said: "your time might be now

They played your freestyle over 'Wipe Me Down'
They played it 2 times, say it might be crowned
As the best thing out the H-town in a while"

He picked up his son with a great big smile
Rapped every single word to the newborn child
Then he put him down and went back to the kitchen

And put on another beat and got back to the mission of
Get his momma out the hood, put her somewhere in the woods
Keep his lady looking good, have her rolling like she should
Show his homies there's a way other than that flippin' yay
Bail his homie out of jail, put a lawyer on his case

Throw a concert for the school, show the shorties that it's cool
Throw some candy on the Caddy, chuck the deuce and act a fool
Man it feels good, when it happens like that
Two days from going back to selling crack, yessir


[Hook]
One you never heard of, I
Push it hard to further the
Grind, might feel like murder, but
Hip-Hop, you saved me


One you never of, I
Push it hard to further the
Grind, might feel like murder, but
Hip-Hop, you saved my life
