some of the audience says i gotta dumb it down
i guess this is why i got love for the underground
life struggles hit you like jabs, you just got to fight it
theres a key to success for us all, you just gotta find it
some artists did, but they brag how they are now paper tossin'
god damn, how *****s sell out once they rise and blossom
but me, im hittin' it out the park like andre dawson
my musics a breath of fresh air, ya'll dont be flausin'
on another level, lyrically and mentally, so im lookin' at ya'll from afar'
squashin' competition, i should be charged
the city's vibe runs through my arteries
cruisin' past you like im on navy pier's odyssey
if i gain the throne, losin' it would be something odd to see
a change in this hip hop game is something this world ought to see
i got a grasp of this game now, its in my possesion
i dont make mistakes, just turn em into life lessons
