At age thirteen turned fiend dreamed nights Mcing
Reciting rapper's delight
Enticed by limelight ambitious visions of vinyl twelve inches
Since yellowman was king albino
Critiqued my form of speak
On breakbeats cut on two technics in a basement on tenth street
House jams parks block parties halls and armouries foremost
Behind the ropes you only spoke if you was d**e
Then formed crews some rappers now retired
My desire required more than a quiet name on flyers
Inspired remain for delf
Vowing to see the day my records on the shelf
Sold outta htv and tower just how I dreamed
Recall hearing mom scream wake up
Stay in school take up classes keep your grades up
But straight up since my mind's been made up to do this
Kcb son aingt new to this I'm true to this
Stay true to the game
I'm out to get the fortune and fame
Stay true to the game
I'm out to get the fortune and fame
Time passed yet mo remains making demos
Though wished behind the windows of a limo
Sipping champagne producers kicked game expected
Label execs smirked at hard work tapes rejected
Connected with Eli perfected
Mikey D and I wrecked it resurrected
Marked the return few expected
Picked up in eighty nine signed but slipped up
Charted bigged up
Come to find royalty time aingt see a dime
For promo shows though exposed felt cheap
Kicked out the crib to the streets of Medina where I'd sleep
Starving regardless
Persist beyond exist to do this
Sons is clueless dun aingt new to this I'm true to this
Stay true to the game
I'm out to get the fortune and fame
Stay true to the game
I'm out to get the fortune and fame
The script flips ninety six relationships consist of wisdoms
Wishing I'd quit insufficient funds
Silver tongues strung on drums a one yet still unsung
Adapt and overcome the aggravation of years and heads faking jax saying
Is it worth the frustration
It aingt paying considerably
Lacking consistency absentee in an industry
Exceeding mc's yet keep striving to maintain
Too late in the game to change direction
Sustain flexing dialect tongue blessing sessions
Progress in this profession knowledge the lesson
Let it be known never forgetting
This aingt no dream
Although it may seem like at times the mic's grabbed up on scenes
True indeed born to succeed
My mind is made up to do this
Kcb son aingt new to this I'm true to this
Stay true to the game
I'm out to get the fortune and fame
Stay true to the game
I'm out to get the fortune and fame
