lyrics

Chorus:
1 – 2 – 3 – 4
How many raps before have left you wanting more? With
1 – for the money, 2 – for the show
3 – to get ready… and then no go
When it’s 1 – for no money and 2 – for I’m broke
3 – for the studies and 4 – for the loans
1 – for the hunnies, and 2 – for the bro’s
3 – for my buddies, and 4 – for this flow

1 – 2 – 3 – 4
How many raps that start like that, have you heard before
Claiming to connect to your intellect, but giving you nothing more
Than tragedy, profanity, bland bands with no variety
While I’m actually trying see? To not go down so quietly
Giving you melodies, in hopes that you’ll be telling me
My song stung like the world’s toughest spelling bee
Start with a melon seed, end up with a melon patch
That’s how I hope to see my raps when I look back
Blossoming rhymes, just about to hatch
No mimicry, or gimmicks see? With me there’s no strings attached
I just blast the facts, hoping that
You can get past the wack, and realize that
1 – Why front from the front, when you can front from the middle or the back
Besides the fact that from the back
You can see the deeds of Emcees in the lead
And choose not to follow hollow trends of tomorrow
Always seeking and reaching, learning the teachings
Of those who know, so
You can proceed with speed to that higher plateau
And grow even though, foes bring woes
2 – Never stray from what’s true
Your friend’s and your crew, and those who love you
3 – I’m just a regular me
J – 1 – K FSP
From the EDM, to the SNK
I’m the INT MC all the way
Mix it up with wordplay, don’t let that trouble you
That I’m all over E-Town and the WAW
4 – 2, 32 bar verses, and you don’t need more


1 – Everyone has at one time begun
To reach for the sun, beyond the square circle
Now it’s my time, to one by one jump the hurdles
And I’ll just give it, until I reach my limit
Because first thing’s first, being first isn’t all there is
I thirst for the good news and church to reach all the kids
Because the worst thing is dirt, and being stuck in it
Even a diamond has it’s dirty beginning
2 – Catch on to things you can latch on to
Diamonds are formed in the rough, and that’s true
And even though it seems to me, the rough is where I’m at
I’m trying hard, to bring to you this
1 – 2 – 1 – 2, type of rap
To surpass, the tracks, that have no tact,
Don’t sit back and relax, get up and get active
Because dude, you’ve got to, get on the move
3 – Most songs contain three verses
But I felt free, so I threw that pattern out as worthless
To rock a beat with no curses, flow with purpose
Who’s going to tell me, it’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3
Cuz that doesn’t seem to be the case
Everyone’s done everything, so be original these days (but)
4 – How many raps before have you heard like this?
So magnificent, that when the beat drowns out you’re missing it?
Your wishin you could just keep on listening
Then friends, just play this again and again
Sure this is work, not just for the fun
Cuz it’s cost me a small fortune since I’ve begun
And four years down the road, who knows where I’ll be
Perhaps a millionaire at 40, for inventing 4d : )
Do something for me, I’d love you for sure
Play this 4 times again, and learn between the words

He has been around for a looong time, but for some reason he's still kickin' it. He's more interested in being your friend than you loving his music, so come on over. I make a... ahem, I mean, he makes a great Chai Latte.
