The Meeting

..an old friend?

Okay, let him in

Verse One (Random)
Hello Mega Ran, I know it's a surprise
It's been a little while, what a sight for sore eyes
Before you hit the stage I just wanted to say congrats
Because you've cashed in on your passion and I'm really proud of that -
Newspapers websites adorn you with awards
And I can hardly keep up man you're always on a tour
You know, it's really awesome man, how everybody loves you
And to think you almost quit, now look what it's come to
While most indie rappers struggle, you make it look so simple
Dope rhymes indeed but 8 bit instrumentals were the kicker
Remember when we polly'd it on the block
And you said you'd never change, no matter how awesome it got
Well I couldn't help but notice you don't talk about those moments
If I didn't know any better I'd think you had disowned us
I was your biggest proponent, but you probably think I'm jealous
Cause you're too busy being a star to kick it with the fellas
You should be out in Ferguson speaking against injustice
But it seems you got better things to do than to discuss it
I wouldn't be a true friend if I didn't point it out
Used to chalk it up to youth but I'm just disappointed now
You said you'd come back for me, that musta been a lie
So I came to holler at you and give a final goodbye
Nothing personal bro, I still consider you a friend
But we're way too different, so you'll never see me again

Chorus (Edy Blu)
No one but me can see my face
In the shadows to the light, my saving grace
No one but me can see my face
Out the shadows to the light my saving grace

Verse 2
(Mega Ran)

Listen, as you said it's been a while since we last chatted
And in that period Id say whole lot has happened
I've been across seas, gained a little recognition
I wish we could roll together but you just would never listen
You were about the spitting and trying to make a difference
And I was too, but how was I to make a living
I watched you spend 11 months making the first record
Rehearsing and perfecting it hoping to be respected
But ultimately neglected press outlets, you were starting to doubt it
I recovered the fumble and did something about it
8 years later I thought the remixes would move you
But I was truly saddened they didn't meet your approval
And I apologize for not standing on social issues
And not blowing the whistle on all these corrupt officials
But I'm the escape, my music can help them get through
And if you going for good then Im seriously gonna miss you
But you don't understand the pressure and the demands
It was easy as Random it's hard as Mega Ran
And what's the joy in being the broke dude who kept it real
Can't change the community when you can't pay your bills
But I promise to make sure they see a piece of you
Cause you're the inspiration in every single piece I do
But if this isn't pleasing you to see me live my dreams
Then maybe we weren't quite as close as it used to seem
Nah mean?

Chorus

No one but me can see my face
In the shadows to the light, my saving grace
No one but me can see my face
Out the shadows to the light my saving grace
