years in the making

aiyyo ev

whattup rak?

there's a lot of cats didn't see this one comin'

lotta cats not gon' understand

never saw the path that we walked

you run that joint you did on the radio that night

let people know

do this one for the interviews

do it for the people

years in the making

yo

my first verse

from '90 to '94

mostly peepin' cats' styles out and hittin' the floor

a little bit

in '91 that's when we got down

different sides of town

on the bus i made rounds

i was involved in graffiti heavily

my people were self

tau and freck rip

at night i heard beats next door by qd iii

inspiration

destiny

ev producer mc

now at this point

my face wasn't known and unfamiliar

and when you look how i do

most cats won't say they feel ya

so i was mostly

humbled by rejection

but in my heart

i knew my shit would always pass inspection

correction

travel east and hit the inner section

hip hop shop to rock

blow the spot wit hex and pen one

also iristyle

a cat who worked there

i said

i wanna bust first" he said "it's all fair"
