[Verse]
It appears that my genres are caught in a slump
Stuck ankles deep, feet lost in the mud
But the issue of my dedication's not to discuss
And I laugh when they say Hip Hop's not in my blood
Where the fuck else would it be
Would it help if I breathe
Life into clay
Or would it help if I speak less eloquently
And belch when I eat like I am the same
This is the difference
This is art, this is the business
It's intrinsic
For me to try and bridge the distance
But I leap at first, no inhibitions
No intermittent work days
No intermission
You're wrong if you're thinking I can't bite the bullet
I still push, when others on the same side are pulling
And I won't stop here...
Our place will not be lost, this is the book marker
Reality's not gone, just look farther
Put Armageddon out of your mind and mind your good karma
Hip Hop's not dying we just have to push harder
We came from cave painters on barren walls
And evolved to fiends for weak paste and aerosol
And we won't stop here...
I was never not about it
Never copping out, I set my goal at stomping mountains
You know that God allowed it
Now it's me, put on a show and watch the crowds trip
Rocking house parties to opera houses
Purpose isn't something you choose
It either gets lost in a cluster or becomes what you do
Along the way, a lot of rain and cold winters
It's the Northwest, go figure
But I'm no quitter
The industry is tainted, piss in the batter
So I don't listen to rappers
And all their whimsical banter
They don't talk like they live
And pleasure material objects can give is as false as it gets
I used to want a major label, or I thought that I did
Now destroying pop's at the top of my list
And I won't stop 'till it is
Don't think this is not a commitment, I swear to God that it is
I've walked through flames, but none burned like the flames within
I've treaded ice that was paper thin
I've waited my whole life just to get a taste of this
And learned that the wait was just as worth it
The angst I've lived has made a richer person
I've tamed the inner serpent so Sapient can surface
And I won't stop here...
