lyrics

"The Wayfarer's Dreams (Respect II Rakim)"

Verse 1:
I had a dream, way before I became a teen
Wanted to rock the microphone an' get that cream
Shady had me all motivated, though I hated the scene
Niggaz - was talkin' mafioso an' triple-beams
An' that wasn't my life, I was a artist, a poet
But e'ry bar they was flowin', I made a mission to quote it
My first flow, when I wrote it, was trash as fuck; yeah, I know it
But gettin' knocked on my ass, was incentive for growin'
So I - just kept it goin', grinded to get my flow better
My youth was rough an' tough like leather, word to Raekwon
But I kept it together, even wit' anxiety buildin'
I aimed higher than hills an'
Valleys, 'cause ain't no mountain high enough to keep me from my goal
Thank God I got Ron to keep me on my toes
Even if a flow was ill, he told me I can go harder
That's why every track now gets clobbered

Verse 2:
From the depths of the sea back to my Memphis block
It's Fineprint kickin' that golden Hip-Hop
Dreamin' of a Ferrari or Jaguar an' switchin' four lanes
Top down, screamin' out "Money ain't a thang!"
See this my ode to Rakim an' Hip-Hop in general
An' - a fuck you to haters who test my genitals
Alone they can't handle me, battlin' in intervals
Heh... man, that shit is just pitiful
Long-term, not the interim, that shit is most def/Mos Def
Creme de la creme wit' my echelon, stay on yo' shelf
Still nobody's backin' me, like I'm sittin' in that curule
Fuck that voodoo that you do, I spew jewels
An' you dudes, still know my motif, I do this
My forte is still to rip a new hole inside the ozone
Be a nuisance to all these wack two-syllable new kids
I raised the bar an' passed it like - jurisprudence
My two cents...
