I live to make beautiful music for man, woman and child Fathers with mouths to feed and brothers on trial Mothers with hours to work before they get home To catch up with daughters before they're already grown The pace of the race be moving rapid and traffic bumping Pumping something deeper by the man trying to reach something Speaking at street functions lacing the minds of Folks with focused eyes I'm hoping they find love We build and we rise up a city the size of imperial majesty Conquer the travesty Get it right son, Life is such A long road through the unknown, we ride the rush Whether your ride is plush or barely enough to get us over the hump Bump the symphony, remember we Are the masters of the century (emcees] Nothing happens instantly The precious prize is only meant for he Moving intensely, thirsty, stray on the controversy Focus on my family firstly From the burst that birthed me to my own first son The love is one No reverses once the verse is begun
