Welcome, you're welcome back,
I'm halfway down the hallway,
my sight is that much clearer,
Keep it hood in the mainstream,
you can blame it on my area,
Wish me luck and the rest of it,
success I can say I've tasted it,
I've got a dream still chasing it,
when the chance came I never wasted it,
Yeah, I'm here, I'm right up in the mix of it,
More cake, more hate you can't forget the
stress with it,
Rub shoulders with different starts,
one's you only read about,
From the Sugababes to the Akon's,
one's you never see about,
Swimming in the deep end,
small fish but tell them sharks I'm coming,
Deep in, don't sleep on me, no dreaming,
I started writing rhymes around the
years of 99,
Comparing me to those new MC's
is like a crime,
Today is a brand new day,
Clock my wrist, check the time,
I'm headlining the show; For real I'm
here performing live,
And I hit hard, I'm rattling your rib cage,
Know they feel my presence here I'm coming
for the first place gold,
Don't get stuck in the halo, no, no,
Don't get stuck in the halo
