Verse 1:
Y-Yo, everybody wanna use musical tracks
When I first started they were usin’ em tracks
With a chord here and there wouldn’t dare ever ask
A couple keys solo on the sax
No O this is rap this is all about the raps
What about the mix? This is what I wanna ask
But everybody tellin’ me relax facts
Now rappers wanna wear [?], that’s
Funny ‘cause I used to wear that, that’s
Something when I see where we’re at
Back in the day they used to swear I was a weird cat
Listen I was told I was ten years ahead of my time
Whatchu mean right now? This a best for my kind
Took another generation who could get with my mind
I see the world is ready for a savant, and I’m

Verse 2:
Now these rappers wanna play instruments
People say I’m no influence
They don’t know circles I been through then
Labels marketing myth to them
I’m back, trust you me
I was walkin’ around in ruffled sleeves
When they thought that it was gay what the f*ck you mean?
I’m just tryna be creative this is custom me
VST while you MPC’d
If the game were to change and it did to machine
Me and G said let’s skip the machine
While our coward a** peers used to beg and then plead
Told em we was ten years ahead of our time
Which would mean right now is a best for our kind
Took a, generation to mess with my mind
I see the world is ready for a savant, and I’m

Verse 3:
Now I see everybody tryna be political
But when I did it all I received was ridicule
People in my time was some coon and jigaboos
Used to say “O you gotta do what n*ggas do”
Get in the door, then you can switch it up
Now that door doesn’t even exist
So what did you sell your soul for?
A position that is gone
So the next generation now see you as a pawn
And they see me as the ancestor
A true rap king not a damn jester
Watch you cats mess up your rep and black culture
Now you wanna switch too late the past caught ya
Documented in my history
Creativity, authenticity and integrity is what the kids can see
And that’s why they wanna get with me, the first Millennial
