Thank You

This feels good right here. just happy to be here. i mean, i gota take a moment to thank those that made a difference, whether small or big. damn, where should i start though?

First and foremost i gota give praise

To the lord above and his almighty ways

Blessin me with the gift to lift spirits

And evoke emotions thru these words everytime you hear it

I got the lyrics and flow, im capable so

When i blow, just know this ones for april and joe

Me and my little sister, we grateful you know

Wish i could see you more avah at the rate that you grow

My favorite uncle franky for opening ya door

When i aint have a place to stay, i crashed on your floor

Taught me the basic survival tools

Auntie cathy, every summer kept me in vacation bible school

Mr diskin for more than passin grades

And my fourth grade teacher mr. scott who passed away

Peep how i met kamel, corner on the street

We goin to the top ,lets do it for shawna and jaleek

In the beginnin, no one was on jins side folks

Bar and amory, whoa bundy thats a inside joke

Before bullshit friendships, synthetic for cream

Chilled with my wall click, bryan, cedric, and jean

So when i moved to ny chose to invest in a few

One love to patricia ben and the rest of the crew

To be loved is a privilige, thats what i was told

A gem from my man ls more precious than gold

Infamous joe lacin my tatt so sick

Fong, yungmac, and ken down at ho yips

To dee waah chivon and the rest of the deans

For believing in a young man obsessed with a dream

Allowin me to write history create my own chapter

All original ryders and the generation after

The double r staff my thanks worth a million

And the whole 30th floor at the universal buildin

You could never walk in my shoes or stand in my boots

Know how i came up, i'll never abandon my roots

Yeah, c rayz, poison pen for sharing the stage

Shouts to stronghold, tone, and the rest of the plague

Ask big zoo, we ten steps ahead of ya

Vice versus, eye to eye, e-o dub regulars

My man j pure for bringin the heat right

And the rest of the poets, chillin under streetlights

Just keep the beats tight, shouts to the record spinners

Enuff, felli fell and all the heavy hitters

Kubichi k sly hold me down in la

Might catch me flickin it up with von in the bay

Then its off to the wake up show with tech and sway

Or big nat and foot out in va

Its damn near tradition to kick a freestyle

Anytime im with eddie francis out in seatown

Cant forget hometeam as high as i be

Supa cindy, big lip and dj irie

The club and mixtape djs that break records

Cause thanks to them we've heard some great records

Shouts out to the technitions they get props

Feel free to holla, anytime you need drops

Bob collina, the only one to call

Anytime ya boy jin gota run in with the law

Bert padell aka big babe ruth

Got the brinks truck outside, lets get paid loot

6-4-6-6, the trips back and forth

From the studio to the crib, im never slackin off

How bout will, spivey and of course killa kai

Boondo, randy, feron just a few of my

Close associates that i love to see

School me to the game like joe box and brother e

Razor and mario for all them times we rocked shows

To the rest of 176, tato

Holla front.com go register to day

Peter jun, rock, lisa, landy and j

Keepin me fresh ellis at the barbershop

Coast to coast, lifestyles reppin the r alot

My man cartoon bringin the fresh sound

Cookie and mag ogs holdin the west down

And of course swizz blocks, carl, climax

Far east movement, they got what ya minds lack

T dot, montreal where i keep mass appeal

Romero, baby yu, rg and neil

It pays to keep it real even more to be sincere

Thanks to bet for jump startin my career

As for 106 who they askin about

Free and aj cant wait to see yall back on the couch

And mtv for givin advance warnings

John singleton plus the chance at performin

The source double xl rolling stone vibe

The truth, the lies, the layout in rides

For every write up forever in context

King magazine elle girl and complex

To all the producers for providin the beats

Shouts to neo, tunehedz, divine and elite

Jr, wyclef, kanye, can i rep

This is real hiphop be damned if i let

Yall tell me otherwise cause we so live

This ones for 954 and 305

All the way to 718 and 212

And if you ever showed love this ones for you

But i gota say thanks even those that hated

Cause, cause yall kept me motivated

I gota thank god i wanna thank yall

I gota thank god i wanna thank yall
