Intro [1999]

See back in ninety-nine is when I did my first show
Amateur I thought I’d seen it all I wish to go pro
My moms was like my manager that shit got so old
Always been a team player now I’m going solo
A-T-G like a regime in these times of getting cream
Got our own currency in the form of these E-P’s
I know I’ve gotta be the MVP of MP3’s
And I’m not too shabby on the pads and MPC’s
I’m chillin at my pad call it the trap I’m stacking cheese
I wanna eat filet mig-non and crème brûlées
I don’t try to switch my style up consciously
I’m just forever changing I’m in constant search of me
Check it ever since I discovered the essence
I been raising levels without too much effort
That means I been writing up [??] [??] probably forever
Now you got my full attention
It’s been hard to fit in this dimension
I remember writing rhymes in detention
[??] It’s only academics when you get in-school suspension

See back in ninety-nine is when I did my first show
Amateur I thought I’d seen it all I wish to go pro
My moms (SHUT UP)

See back in ninety-nine is when I did my first show
This ain’t nothing new
