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
