Raising the Bar dropped, now all these hands waving like car lots The making of a dynasty, of MCs who rhyme and be Putting on a show like these other hoes is trying to be Rocking every spot with no thought of label signing me Y'all fakes is like grapes and (Hey) this here's a winery 90's chateau, rap flow, and yeah we finally Elevating, 100 flight of stairs until we're celebrating Each step like air and Hip Hop's in each breath I'm taking
J-Pro:
We're taking 2 steps forth; they're taking 2 steps back By making bullshit tracks, where are my real heads at? They're on the Internet, downloading our songs So at the shows, they get ‘em up like a power bomb We're on the 20 minutes, sweat like it's an hour long 30 people wildin' out like it's a stadium Or the palladium, there's nothing I can say to them I'm grateful for the stage we're on And you're my Inspiration!
Chorus: My inspiration, blood, sweat and tears Through all of the years, one thing that kept me handling biz is My inspiration My 3 babies life when I'm gone Learning what's right,wrong How to fly and fight through the storms My Inspiration The ovation, applause from all of our peers Supported by local fans through all the years My Inspiration (Cuts)
[Verse 2]
Verb:
Sometimes i consider things that get me inspired to write There's somethin within me that never seems too tired to fight/ for what i believe in; achievin and acquirin heights of happiness We duel and fight with the fire ignitin on our doorsteps/ Man i been through it all; been poor; slept on floors In life i seen more yards than Dorsette/ So when tradgedy's drug out and the ground gets shaky I'm fully aware of whatever consequences that await me/ for decisions I'm making I aint perfect at all, but there's a reason why to get by I'ma struggle and crawl;/ the reason why id rather be judged by how many times i get up than to go through being judged by how many times i fall/ And I'm not religious man, but let me tell you the deal If i could just channel my voice through those who feel what i feel;/ if i could leave earth with a mark that says that verb was for real, to live and breathe and put on this planet provided wit skill is my inspiration
Chorus Repeats
[Verse 3]
Antidote:
There's so many reasons why I do this, nothing I'd deny or try to prove It's just this feeling that I feel when I'm hi-hi-high of spittin' rhymes and coolin' Wit my crew, walking like it's water that I'm steppin' on Epsilon "P”, the 180 I've been bettin' on
Verb:
Soon as they let us on The game's changing, this is the level we're supposed to conquer And competition's supposed to be fretting on Retreating like decepticons, forfeiting their checks and bonds Falling and crumbling at the frey and edges we left them on
J-Pro:
... the rest will honor the name. My fans are cynical Still they're calling my name like I stand at pinnacle Allstar perennial, fall far from lyrical Sean Paul I've fended through the fire with inspired minds They say I got them through the day, but they've inspired mine A young guy thumping Pete Rock and I n I Feeling proud of the underground where the cipher lies Same 30 fans waving hands when the cipher dies
