[Intro: 9th Wonder]
Man you know, I don't think we decide our own legacy. To be honest with you. When you leave the game or you leave this earth, people will decide a legacy for you. We're just here to do what we're supposed to do. Everybody else will decide what was your legacy, he was this or he was that, or he did this he did that. People are gonna decide that for you. You have no control over it, you know. I just wanna make the best music I possibly can and that's in my realm uphold the culture of hip hop cause so many people my age have abandoned it. Maybe cause their lack of knowledge about it whether to uphold the culture of hip hop, cause it is my culture. And, uh, that's about it

I'm on that supercalerfragalisticfragonago bullshit
With more lines than the word in your tabernacle pulpit, church

I get down do my dance on instrumentals
And blast that beat slamming on cats like heavy metal
Don't try this at home kids get on my level
Huh, we don't ever ever settle
Wack niggas try and duck us they some Brokeback fuckers
Ain't got time for them suckers, I work too hard
You wanna take mine, well, hardy har
In your dreams this ain't easy as it seems
Been doing this since the teens
You can say it's in the genes
Uncle on the sax, granny singing in the opera
Rest in peace Uncle Mark tourin' with the gospel
Group that he started, he was living out his dream
Then he passed it on to me, I told him I'mma make it big, yeah
Said I'mma make it big
Khrysis in the booth and I'mma make it big

Yeah nigga I'mma make it big come on

And Jay called 9th, "9th wonder of the world
We need some beats" so then we did "Girl"
