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
