Influenced By

You know history, history is made from great accomplishments

And given inspiration, ya hear me?

TP, Esco, Kurupt Young Gotti (Kurupt)

We're gonna give you an example of who inspired us (inspired us)

Ya hear me?

Ever since I was a child, I was captivated by

Music, I felt gravitated

It opened up the door, allowed me to explore

So many other genres would've otherwise ignored

Have you ever been touched by a song or a verse

To the point that you can feel the pain and tell how bad it hurts?

When the words emerge into a perfect verse

With emotion bursts, man, the pen does work

Through their losses, their stories

Their come ups and their glory

And that passion makes it happen

'Til it cultivates the brain and creates that reaction

Now if we do not change our direction (direction)

We're likely to end up where we're heading

When it comes to music (music, music)

I love all kinds (I love all kinds)

Go through my catalog

Yeah, you'd be surprised (okay, then try me)

Who's on your list? Or better yet

Tell me who's your top five

Well, I'd only pick the ones I'm influenced by

This an open discussion on melodies and percussion

How certain music reaches people and some others, it doesn't

But that's the beauty, I just hope you people evenly judge it

Because I put too much heart in this for you to make an assumption

About my swag, my delivery, or even my rhymes

I'm sure with even your favorite artist there is something to find

That we can hate on but we don't, so skate on by

Let me rewind and take it back from '92 to '95

Man, I always loved music, but it was those years I

Started to learn how to use it and develop my mind

My older brothers, I looked up to, what they bumped in they ride

Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, and Sublime

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, the list goes on

But now I'm old enough that I can make a list of my own

This music is a road map, never leave it at home
