	Lyrics “The Bond” I made an emotional investment, 14 years old Not yet a man but I was fresh then as freshman Sure I’d heard hip-hop’s word but in the burbs If you wore your hat backwards they thought you were disturbed So in seclusion I’d listen to the music, an Urban culture Created in reaction to its time and space The over exposure I despise about it nowadays was a gateway to find my place I rhyme and face questions of authenticity because of my ethnicity A feeling that I get assures me that this is the Version of energy that I’m meant to embrace, I invent and give chase To a purpose but the purpose finds me and though I’m not from the streets I find Beauty in the bond between my thoughts and the beats I find beauty in the bond between my thoughts and the beats I find beauty in the bond Thinkin’ back on the memories that made me fond, within my soul, music created a strong bond If you’re makin’ it for credit then you won’t last long Treat every single verse like it’s your very last song Thinkin’ back on the memories that made me fond, within my soul, music created a strong bond If you’re makin’ it for credit then you won’t last long Treat every single verse like it’s your very last song Quite a long time ago I first tried to rhyme and flow Along with a song I heard late night on the radio Turns out that was just the first domino But how was I to know that I’d be soon writin’ all kinds of prose In class, a pen and pad is all that I need My chosen hobby was also economical, my composition book In my Jansport I toted, the rhymes I wrote, you couldn’t tell me they weren’t the dope shit I slowly rose from a novice and began to focus on career Globally in showbiz, at first Honestly I bit kids, I tried to emulate Common, Nas and Hieroglyphics As I got grown hip hop got a hold of my soul and I developed a style of my own Now I stay calm whenever drama unfolds It don’t matter where I’m at when I’m rhymin’ I’m home Thinkin’ back on the memories that made me fond, within my soul, music created a strong bond If you’re makin’ it for credit then you won’t last long Treat every single verse like it’s your very last song Thinkin’ back on the memories that made me fond, within my soul, music created a strong bond If you’re makin’ it for credit then you won’t last long Treat every single verse like it’s your very last song I was picked on as an adolescent due to height Now I became a legend, due hype do the knowledge I blew through college in a sec left crews demolished Now the rap game’s changed all due to dollars I paid my dues became a monster, can’t be tamed here to conquer the world, might even start with your borough I thorough with this music, came to one conclusion I’m the new kid for the future, Voice got the ill acoustics If Jackson is the king of pop then I’m the god rhythm God willing, I’ma drop digits like logrhythms The Leg won’t stop till every block feel him Till there’s now more props to give him It’s my time to shine, the clock’s tickin? I remembered times I stayed locked in my room Strainin?for rhymes, Even when I was not in the mood, I would spit it on my karaoke, Now I’m live on ya stereo B See cherish ya dreams Thinkin’ back on the memories that made me fond, within my soul, music created a strong bond If you’re makin’ it for credit then you won’t last long Treat every single verse like it’s your very last song Thinkin’ back on the memories that made me fond, within my soul, music created a strong bond If you’re makin’ it for credit then you won’t last long Treat every single verse like it’s your very last song And move on
