"What we're gonna do right here is go back
Way back
Back into time."
Envision a landscape that backdates to 80s Miami
That's when this kid moved there with his family,
Straight outta Cali
At an early age,
Already learning the traits that would carry with him
From his early stages to the pearly gates
Even as a child it's hard to ignore the murder rates
When all your life fights, shots and flashing lights were commonplace.
Before the drama shows, or Serato codes,
I'm talking FM to cassette
Pause, the song is yours
By the time I got on that Cypress Hill
My mind was blowed
My homie "Greg man" had the ganja rolled
Will Deal introduced me to Mic Geronimo
But I still had love for the west
Had the vinyl version of Domino
So Vamanos
MC battles I title hold
But I was more concerned with resonating around the globe
Sweet as the blood of diabetics to honor why I did it
Love as a fan, foremost, before the writer credits
Suspense was never missin'
For instance I witnessed multiple heists
Was possibly in 'em
Both culprit & victim,
But I went through premonitions,
Envisioning better living
Started timid,
Flipped my confidence to a higher percentage
Never minding my image
Never intended to be hip-hop's First Cuba-Rican rap nerd,
I just did it.
There comes a moment when you notice the truth
There's no avoiding the absolute,
This always was you.
Sobering moments from a Dr. Potted
Hoping the knowledge spreads to the
hypocritical oafs that surround it.
The front page shows
Crazy bumpkins got played like trumpets
Currently 80 muskets are waving at lady justice.
So naturally
Rappers like me demand action in droves.
Don't dismiss me as a battle rapper
Cause I snap on my poems
Battling bigotry
Using imagery
From every moment in history to now
'Til infinity
You see their faces in the cypher
The dreams of taking it higher
Writers with phat lines with hopes of making it tighter
It's the desire
To be the greatest is what they aspire
They light up the minute when you eye 'em spittin the fire.
Dragon saliva drippin
You see the entire mission
They ain't just live to be hip
When their kind is wired different
The source comes from loss
Still they finding additions
The force of they cause
That got the empire trippin
The growth of the youngin is the result of the struggling
The product of corner hugging
The gun bussin' & hustling
The strip clubbin' and thuggin' was cliche
The beast way
He lynched emcees in silence while pressed hunting for substance
No levy broken to wreck off the dome
Syllables more than Gs when there's
more than double X in your chromosomes
It's like you lost your zone
Ain't reach your twilight
Step in the limelight
And it just feels like you're going home
Way back
Back into time."
