[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
For this next piece
I'd like to do for you
An autobiographical
Poetic, stop-motion piece titled Story of My Life
Check this out

[Verse 1]
Check it out
I'ma start
This rhyme kinda awkward
Then slide to the side and the backwards and the forward's
Tell you who I am and why I do what I do
And tell you who the hell is in my crew
I learned that early on that I would be the master of my destiny by mastering the minds of other men who came and tested me
None of them have ever bested me or even come close
Some said I was the most incredible thing since sliced bread and zippers
It ain't go to my head because I ain't no ego-tripper, just an exceptional black man
Check it out

*sings* On the microphone I father my seed
Jemini will make your brain cells bleed

I became more than just a man when I got down with Sudan and Nas G and Gods G and Melquon at St. John-To my surprise I ain't have to be no Five
Percenter
To enter
The cipher of a peace squad, so I'm saying peace, God

The story of my life (Is who I am and who I be)
And that's the story of my life (Who the hell is in my crew?)
The story of my life (Why I'm doing what I'm doing)
And that's the story of my life

[Verse 2]
I remember
Each September, I'd go around the block
To see
Who was chillin' out
In the spot
On a cot
Puffing weed, somebody had the nerve to tell me that dough is what I need
To get down with their herbs and their spices-Brother, maybe you ain't heard but I'm the nicest thing around
Since the days of Methusula
And I'ma be around standing on your grave, movin' to harmonic melodies, the symphony
That'll bless me-Don't press up
Don't push up
Don't test me
It's strange
But I'm always in a
Verbal exchange-Brothers jel and they swell and I'm forced to ring they bell-This is why Jemini looks
High in the sky and says a prayer, cause evil's lurking
Everywhere-I give praise to my mom, she made a beautiful child
And to my pops cause they gave me the most beautiful smile you ever seen, watch it gleam
In the sunlight
One left
One right
The story of my life is this

The story of my life (Will I keep a sense of self?)
And that's the story of my life (Will I change with my wealth?)
Will I be the type of man to make my momma proud? (Repeat 2x)

[Verse 3]
My recognised, realised beneath the crest of my dome
A gift to use swift words in a poem like fashion-This became a tune as youth smashing up your session
Steady progression
Has made this my profession
I picked up an ear
For the kick
And the snare
And percussion
Which sent my blood rushing
Through my vessels
When I be busting
MC's down from building to block
To borough I was thorough when it came to my theories of conjecture
So check the
Audio projector
Of soliloquies
Of studies
The tragedies of Sophocles
Embarks on the art
With the heart
Of a Mozart
I utilise the
Every fibre of my being
Is you seeing what I'm seeing, when, I'm saying what I'm saying?-I'm the day to your night, the star light
'Cause I'm bright-I'm on the left
When I write and that's the story of my life

The story of my life (Who am I and who are you?)
And that's the story of my life (Who the hell is in my crew?)
The story of my life (Why I'm doing what I'm doing)
And that's the story of my life (Here's my story)

The story of my life (As I hang with my people)
And that's the story of my life (Use my skill as an equal)
The story of my life (Someone's always on the ???)
And that's the story of my life (You're blessed if you know me)
