[Verse 1 - Insight ]
Let me take some time out to reminisce on the past
Name plates on your belts, pagers beeping in class
Teachers teaching after speaking, sees me leave in a flash
Beats are beating in my headphones and I'm down on some cash
Not enough to buy a truck but what i needed was less
Heard about the tape by ??? indeed it was fresh
I got that, I got this, I reminisce on a smile
Splicing a ??? set together or head in a pile
Innocent child, quiet and cool, I draw in school
Brought my pages markers, mazes, markers and rulers
Meditating like a Buddhist, animating through my music
Demonstrating what I'm doing as i calculated movement
Celebrating, elevating, levitating you through it
So you could do a few trips have some beautiful days
Mr. (?) who caught me writing he ripped up the page
Once he saw me at a show and I had ripped up the stage
[Bridge]
Its like that y'all (x14)
Its like that, Insight, and I'm having a ball
[Verse 2 - Insight ]
I grew up in the city, played ball in the park
Love being (?????) by popular landmarks
I used to go beyond the trains and play arcade games
Street Fighter had me good, Ryu could shoot out a flame
When i was like 7 i was spending my last buck
What i wanted was a quarter for the train I always took
I had to walk but hey, it was cool back then
I got older got around and got scooped up by friends
Wasn't a tax paying citizen i had no plan
My pops used to pick me up in an old blue van
I know he noticed that my friends had an unusual strut
"who's the kid with the big jacket and funny haircut?"
That's Adonis, he came to pick up on Maxwell
He rap well, i didn't rap just to rebel
I propel to excel infidels of (???)
Rebels repel, i foretell on doing well....

"Do you remember how it was when we were not who we are? when people didn't think we would get this far?"
"straight from the black-alack, comes the acrobatic, and you were saying i would never be phat, remember that?!"
[Verse 3 - Insight]
Time passed by started getting some gigs
The world sorta seemed smaller before it seemed big
Some people thought i was wasting my time
Caught it back and still don't even realize that what I was making was magic
An era that is classic as defined by youth
Is the immediate ingredient you find in truth
I'm aligning the proof
Designing useful melodies
Energy that I use fused with ooze of Ecstasy
My recipe is not a secret
I speak it
But some people, when i show em still they don't wanna believe it
Just hold on and keep on reaching
Open up and let the breeze in
You could learn from the woods spinning leaves on the trees
And, now its time for my conclusion
Shine and keep it moving, improving steady, and doing what you're doing
I express through rhymes mixed clear with fly traps
So this is dedicated, to Kick Snares and Hi-Hats
Let me take some time out to reminisce on the past
