I felt my path was lost I paced back and fourth and contemplate is this my fate or just a waste of what I make what will it take I'll never break of fold due to pressures that contain me though my thoughts at times of conscious rhymes should never be mistaken as just something that's written spitting gangsta-fied to fit in or falsify the truth to boost or glorify my image it's all part of the business but these gimmicks don't pertain to me lets set it straight I'll never fake or make up who I claim to be what you hear and see's a part of me I chose to share with you and what I've had to say helped find the way for me to make it through Though cats have said yo Kaspa man that shit hit me so personal cause what i create you can relate remain to keep it versatile on each track I paint raps with a visual emotion flashbacks on your life on your strife's to keep you focused are you there yet alright now take that that first breath that first step that first test of what's next you've been prepared to accept now finish what was started as a dream to make reality and never lose your grip or let it slip because it's challenging and never lose that vision success is within your sights besides you can't turn back now you've dedicated your life It's been a long time but it's finally came it was a tall climb I walked the open plains and the stars aligned I journeyed through the flames deep within my mind just to find my way it's been a long time but it's finally came it was a tall climb I walked the open plains and the stars aligned suffered through the flames all within my mind and it was worth the wait it was worth the wait... no question yea it was worth the wait... yea now I've found my way... and it was worth the wait... (Corinne Felicity) it's been to long I know I know that it had to be a long time but it was worth the wait...

yea.. uhh.. alright.. I mean... you either wanna get to know me, or you don't it's really that simple.. that's all it is... I've spent more than half my life being pissed off at the world angry, evil, bitter everyday is starting to get old I've weathered through the col and it's shown me just what pain does and everywhere I go's just an overcast or rain clouds in the shadows in the trenches in these gallows I'm defenseless Novocain's detained my senses and this numbs become my exit detached and apprehensive but desperate for attention the only form of my expression is the state of my depression I've walked this path for so long my feet are bruised and blistered I'm not sure where I went wrong but know I have to get some distance this life's a game of inches as I fight for it in eighths but I reached the point I can't enjoy the progress that I made please whatever it takes put a smile on my face right the wrongs of my mistakes and lead me to a better place point me in the right direction and I promise that I'll get there relieved from disaffection in just knowing that I left here We're all driven by the light and the fury inside the passion the drive to strive for something precious in life a rhythm, a line, a sign for that moment in time a way to describe, define, I am one of a kind so real to the touch we clutch those closest to us and never give up cause it can all end so abrupt we've all had it tough and learn through the pain we prevail and never to fail we all have a story to tell People say he's anti social removed and unapproachable you'll never get too close to he's secluded unemotional they'll never understand a man with scars within his psyche so don't pretend you can or plan to question what's inside me my demons are behind me but reappear too frequent someday they'll go away but for now I can't believe it I call it like I see it a haunted mind delusionist and anyone I meet repeats the constant fear of losing them my mother was my heart my father was my soul and the day I lost them both I had nowhere else to go and dug myself a hole alone and in the dark a lonely path to walk without an ending or a start but that's not what they would want so standup on your feet don't become one of the weak and be succumb to your defeat let's turn this all around this misery's so bleak and make them proud the years from now for the day that you may meet We're all driven by the light and the fury inside the passion the drive to strive for something precious in life a rhythm, a line, a sign for that moment in time a way to describe, define, I am one of a kind so real to the touch we clutch those closest to us and never give up cause it can all end so abrupt we've all had it tough and learn through the pain we prevail and never to fail we all have a story to tell So in conclusion what you see can be illusion when you meet em' greet em' it may seem he is non translucent and a gloomy dark and dismal dick who's quick to be dismissal fiscal superficial prick couldn't be further from the issue see initially my tendencies a misconstrued identity viewed as an enemy before you'll ever be a friend to me I tend to be defensive mechanism that's preventive that's caused from my extensive past I have to move ahead of but never get it twisted forever I'll stay distant if you wanna get to know me show me though I'll be resistant I welcome the persistence but insist that it be genuine you'll get the best of em' the side that hides a perfect gentleman discover someone brighter a lover not a fighter a brother and provider to his core of moral fiber so judge me like the others briefly glancing at the pages a book without the flashy cover you'll have to read to be appreciated We're all driven by the light and the fury inside the passion the drive to strive for something precious in life a rhythm, a line, a sign for that moment in time a way to describe, define, I am one of a kind so real to the touch we clutch those closest to us and never give up cause it can all end so abrupt we've all had it tough and learn through the pain we prevail and never to fail we all have a story to tell

its hard.. where do I start... I got story I wanna share... well.. here it is... 7-30-81's the day that it starts a mothers first born departs as he's placed in her arms can barely see barely breathe and he can't even talk but she knows as he grows he'll leave a memorable mark years past so fast in the blink of an eye though she tries he rebels she can't figure out why so she resorts and is forced in a different way in an attempt to connect but he pushes away and she knows that her time has been limited though but she's afraid how he'll behave cause she don't want him to know and it shows everyday she grows bitter and weak and doesn't eat at the point that they don't even speak as frustration and anger just eat her away what can she say before that day that'll make it ok and after years it's all clear I never needed to hear the fear of leaving her children was just too much to bear (Melissa Mills) I don't wanna close my eyes cause I'm still afraid of the dark but I don't want to cry I'm stronger I'm stronger than you'll know 7-30--81's the day that he changed altered his ways and so proud that he gave him his name and he vowed to provide and do all that he can he put that drink down and never ever touched it again and instead he committed to the role of a dad and what his sons will become is now all up to him but then it seemed that his dream was to complicate quick his wife is sick and they split be he can't come to admit and he tries to be strong keep that family bond but as this road takes its toll he notices somethings wrong but he ignores cause he's forced towards the needs of his kids multiple shifts never quits it's that life that he lives and this mistake that he makes seems so harmless at first till the words it's too late echo the sounds of remorse cause inside was that pride to put his own health aside all to try and provide and it cost him his life (Melissa Mills) I don't wanna close my eyes cause I'm still afraid of the dark but I don't want to cry I'm stronger I'm stronger than you'll know 7-30-81's the birth of the fam and from a boy to a man I'll explain if I can it began in a house so quiet and quaint which would make me create such a picture to paint there were nights in my life I'd been awoken by fights there were knifes then the sights of blue flickering lights and of course the divorce kids caught in these wars explain to your son so young that he isn't the cause and be torn in between such a powerful scene what was once such a love between two human beings as a hate that creates a child's innocence waits for a fate in which slowly deteriorates and I knew to expect for all that was left they had gave us their best till their very last breath and they had loved to the death though they had to accept they both passed with regrets they could never correct (Melissa Mills) I don't wanna close my eyes cause I'm still afraid of the dark but I don't want to cry I'm stronger I'm stronger than you'll know yea.. I'm stronger than you'll know...I'm stronger than you'll ever know.. I'm stronger than you'll ever know.. I'm stronger than you'll..than you'll know...

I feel lucky enough to have grown up in such an era of hip hop it'll forever remain precious and never happen again right I mean I was actually alive to be a part of the evolutions of the Pacs the Biggies the Puns the L the Guru I mean these cats all had their own styles ideas and concepts and they just weren't comparable to anyone else at the time and that's what it was about it was about being different being original have something to say I mean this was actual talent these were artists and to me this will always be hip hop.... I remember back way back the first raps that I wrote during class didn't pass I never took any notes just a page full of cliff notes quotes full of punch lines the rhymes that I wrote spoke the rhythms of my mind and most times I just did it for fun wanted to spit like Canibus and Pun rolled into one and I prayed for the days just to battle someone I was a slave to the praise gave to whomever won and in a way it's a phase where my journey begun and my styles finally changed look at what it's become reflect life experience and therapeutically use it concepts and story line based themed in my music the challenges you faced mistakes and confusion instead you planned ahead which lead to better solutions a real artist growth shows a meaning behind when every line they design captures moments in time (Kaspa & Hi-Kid) and I remember parents saying it isn't the same what happened to the music damn man it's totally changed I used to wonder how they could even complain and now I'm that old head talking the good ol' days do you remember parents saying it isn't the same what happened to the music damn man it's totally changed I used to wonder how they could even complain and now I'm that old head talking the good ol' days 11:59 waited in lines just for that new release read the cd sleeves for features and who produced the beats an experience you bumped it all the way home like are you hearing this delirious from song after song I'd swing through Newbury Comics just in search of new artists at $10.88 a cd see this used to be modest then came the birth of Napster and I was amazed I paid no concern that this would be the turn of an age and invoke such a change in how our music was bought now digital downloads show how the people support it seems like everyone's a critic they're just different fans and the internet is flooded with musicians and bands am I alone is it me or is it tougher to deal wit it's shamefully hard to sit and watch as it falls I'm just glad I was a part to see the start of it all (Kaspa & Hi-Kid) and I remember parents saying it isn't the same what happened to the music damn man it's totally changed I used to wonder how they could even complain and now I'm that old head talking the good ol' days do you remember parents saying it isn't the same what happened to the music damn man it's totally changed I used to wonder how they could even complain and now I'm that old head talking the good ol' days (Apathy verse) I feel like I could move the planet with my verses like a preacher move the churches something people wanna purchase when they deep beneath the surface I was raised by the masters praised by the masses known for turnin rappers into burnin piles of ashes observe my style is savage I studied the gods I spent about 2000 hours over analyzing Nas like these album were my classes and ya'll aint pass this when I release these last hypnotical gases so you can get the gasface fuck all that new buzz I sweated KMD before you knew who Doom was when I was rockin' Peach Fuzz and Pete was The Creator ain't no era greater Ap witnessed the alpha and omega when it came to all this rap shit before all this plastic when people didn't simply throw around that word classic it's something that was earned and the cds were burned you had to live it now these kids searchin on Google to learn and I remember parents saying.... (Kaspa & Hi-Kid) and I remember parents saying it isn't the same what happened to the music damn man it's totally changed I used to wonder how they could even complain and now I'm that old head talking the good ol' days do you remember parents saying it isn't the same what happened to the music damn man it's totally changed I used to wonder how they could even complain and now I'm that old head talking the good ol' days (Hi-Kid) talkin bout the good ol' days... the good ol' days... the good ol' days...

I'm talkin bout the good ol' days... the good ol' days... the good ol' days... heyay

it was so long ago though it seems like only yesterday regardless how I feel it's instilled within my memory gave you the best of me through the efforts of my sacrifice let you in my life gave you all of what I had inside a lonely soul I thought that you would make me whole and we would grow but instead you left an empty hole here alone I never thought that it could be like this an empty home filled with memories of each of us now here I am years later as an older man a broken plan to what I thought would have a happy end still it hurts I pray the day that I can end my search write a verse though for now I'm at a loss for words makes me think is this something I don't wanna relive and I don't wanna forgive and never come to terms with somethin I'll never let pass and always have to look back somethin that will haunt me and I'll probably never get passed forget that see I can deal with all the heartache all the losses in my life it's only right I learned to maintain it's so strange how you told me that you loved me you probably said the same thing to him beautifully ugly you touched me then fucked me made misery my company we could've left as friends but in the end was only suffering and suddenly I see clear not mad we couldn't make it work just hurt you became everything that you said you weren't (Emanny) So cold where did we go wrong you seemed to everything that I'd ever needed and more but now you're gone and I can see you ain't in love with me like I was it's funny as I look back I couldn't tell you when we ended how did everything we had result in such a lack of friendship so distant we don't even speak resentment every time we meet how can you defend how you pretend you never fell for me you said you were in love you felt it when we touched but I never got the feeling you knew quite just what that was cause you always kept me distant constantly in search of friction I could never seem to please you always questioned my commitment you were just so contradictive I had to try to make sense of someone I believed who seemed on both sides of the fence maybe it was from our start a bad decision on my part or maybe when I moved is when I would lose your heart but still we kept in touch and I'm not sure what it was but I never felt move love than we had during those months and I promise it's a fact you're the reason that I came back but it's like you loved me more when I was something that you couldn't have from there we're off and on more off than I would want but still we slept together for whatever reason while apart and it's not what I had wanted but I guess that it was hope that you'd believe in me and see that I could be there for you both unfortunately you never did it was time to call it quits you could just never forgive and got tired of all the shit though I really feel I tried but I could never seem to win maybe things might have been different if you had only let me in (Emanny) So cold where did we go wrong you seemed to everything that I'd ever needed and more but now you're gone and I can see you ain't in love with me like I was you never even stood a chance I was numb to all my senses no matter how you tried to pierce I had impenetrable defenses I was soulless departed removed and cold hearted if you only have knew all this truth when you started I'm sorry (I'm sorry) but I barely knew myself and pushed away the only person there for me to help and you had fallen for me so hard even at my worst and all I did was break the heart of the only person on this earth who was different than the last two accepting of my faults had patience when she had too while breaking down my walls minimized my flaws and called me on my bullshit I'll admit it through me off and made it tough for me to deal with and though we had been short lived I wanted you to know you lifted me from somewhere that I didn't want to go now I've risen from that hole and I'm thankful you were with me I'm sorry I hope that you can someday forgive me (Emanny) So cold where did we go wrong you seemed to everything that I'd ever needed and more but now you're gone and I can see you ain't in love with me like I was So cold where did we go wrong you seemed to everything that I'd ever needed and more but now you're gone and I can see you ain't in love with me like I was
