Okay, let's pay some homage to the greats
Listen here, I got some shit to sprinkle in your ear
I came up listening to Pac, Big and Easy, EM-Tech and Weezy
Wu-Tang, Too Short, Redman, T.I. and Jeezy
The list goes on of the greats we praised
Shit, we studied the tapes. Turn up the bass till we shaking the place
Loosen up, let the music take the weight of this world
Off your shoulders like it was Atlas and at last the weight's been lifted
No longer restricted. Knowledge is power and this is how we depict it
I share it with clarity, coherently. This is the hip-hop university
Use the words resourcefully. It runs through the veins and it leaks through the pores of me
I'm a player, bitch, don't be sweating he
Who plays the game the way that it's been laid out
Them fads, they're gonna fade out. Your sucka sounds been played out
I'm on the paid route. I'm trying to become a great now
A master. The one and only Milhouse
I came up in the day, listening to the greats
Quiet down, now the master rapping
I ain't dumbing down, you gon' have to smarten up

Came up listening to Slim Shady, RaKim, Snoop, Big Daddy, Kane and Jay-Z
Haters is crazy. Pharaoh moving forward
See, I got past the moments that were hazy
Jumping hurdles, coming full service. Don't wanna stop till I flourish
Most of these new MCs is malnourished. I don't get discouraged
Cowardly? No, but I'm a dog with the courage
Never feeling nervous. Callous hands, hard work
But if it wasn't for the greats, I couldn't do this beautiful artwork that we create
F*ck they talking bout. All love to the heavyweights
Just hope one day I could place in the ranks
Giving full grace. No time to waste
Want it? Thrive for it. Full focus
Bow my head and take a deep breath
Influenced by the best. List is endless, we in This

I came up in the days of OutKast. Busta and naughty by nature
You probably listen to Kodak Black 6ix9ine and Tyler the Creator
No, I'm not no hater. I'm just saying, the games done changed
You and me, we not the same
You wouldn't make it through half the shit I overcame
In my given time frame, I'm proud of the man that I became
Still searching for the fortune and the fame
Still bringing the hardcore pain to your brain
Hoping that you feel me flow. Break your neck when you hear me go
Got the whole house yelling, bring him out
Like I ain't about to make the hood go crazy
Causing uproar, put on for my city
And all the people f*cking with a Millie
Tell I collapse I'm getting it like Eazy does it
So fresh and so clean, when I be on the mic
I have to shake the dirt off from this hard knock life
I came up in a day, listening to the greats
Quiet down now the master Rapping
I ain't dumbing down you gone have to smarten up
Listen here I got some shit to sprinkle in your ear
I came up in a day, listening to the greats
Quiet down now the master rapping
I ain't dumbing down you gone have to smarten up
Listen here I got some shit to sprinkle in your ear
