Lyrics:

This feels good right here
I'm just happy to be here
I mean, I gotta take a moment to thank those that made a difference
Whether small or big
Damn, where should I start though?
First and foremost I gotta give praise
To the Lord above and His Almighty ways
Blessin' me with the gift to lift Spirits
And evoke emotions through these words, every time you hear it
I got the lyrics and flow, I'm capable so
When I blow, just know this ones for April and Joe
Me and my little sister, we grateful, you know
Wish I could see you more Eva at the rate that you grow
My favorite uncle Franky, for opening ya door
When I ain't have a place to stay, I crashed on your floor
Taught me the basic survival tools
Auntie Cathy, every summer kept me in vacation Bible school
Mr. Diskin for more than passin' grades
And my fourth grade teacher Mr. Scott who passed away
Peep how I met Kamel, corner on the street
We goin to the top, let's do it for Shawna and Jaleek
In the beginnin', no one was on Jins side, folks
Bar and Amory, whoa bundy that's a inside joke
Before bullshit friendships, synthetic for cream
Chilled with my wall click, Bryan, Cedric, and Jean
So when I moved to NY, chose to invest in a few
One love to Patricia Ben and the rest of the crew
To be loved is a privilege, that's what I was told
A gem from my man LS, more precious than gold
Infamous Joe, lacin' my tats so sick
Fong, Yung Mac, and Ken down at Ho Yips
To Dee, Waah, Chivon and the rest of the Dean's
For believing in a young man obsessed with a dream
Allowin' me to write history, create my own chapter
All original riders and the generation after
The Double-R staff, my thanks worth a million
And the whole 30th floor at the Universal buildin'
You could never walk in my shoes, or stand in my boots
Know how I came up, I'll never abandon my roots
Yeah, C-Rayz, Poison Pen for sharing the stage
Shouts to Stronghold, Tone, and the rest of the Plague
Ask Big Zoo, we ten steps ahead of ya
Vice Verses, i2i, E-O-Dub regulars
My man J-Pure for bringin' the heat right
And the rest of the poets, chillin under streetlights
Just keep the beats tight, shouts to the record spinners
Enuff, Felli Fel and all The Heavy Hitters
Kubichi, K-Sly hold me down in L.A
Might catch me flickin' it up with Von in the Bay
Then it's off to the 'Wake up show' with Tech and Sway
Or Big Nat and Foot, out in V-A
It's damn near tradition to kick a freestyle
Anytime I'm with Eddie Francis out in C-Town
Can't forget, Home Team, as high as I'll be
Supa Cindy, Big Lip and DJ Irie
The club and mixtape DJs that break records
'Cause thanks to them, we've heard some great records
Shouts out to the Technitions, they get props
Feel free to holla, anytime you need drops
Bob Collina, the only one to call
Anytime ya boy Jin gota run-in with the law
Bert Padell, a.k.a. Big Babe Ruth
Got the Brinks truck outside, let's get paid loot
6-4-6-6, the trips back and forth
From the studio to the crib, I'm never slackin' off
How 'bout Will, Spivey and of course Killa Kai?
Boondo, Randy, Feron just a few of my
Close associates that I love to see
School me to the game like Joe Box and Brother E
Razor and Mario for all them times we rocked shows
To the rest of 176, Tato
Holla-Front.com, go register today
Peter Jun, Rock, Lisa, Landy and J
Keepin' me fresh, Ellis at the Barbershop
Coast to coast, lifestyles, reppin' the 'R' a lot
My man cartoon bringin' the fresh sound
Cookie and Mag OGs holdin' the west down
And of course Swizz Blocks, Carl, Climax
Far East Movement, they got what ya minds lack
T Dot, Montreal where I keep mass appeal
Romero, Baby Yu, RG and Neil
It pays to keep it real, even more to be sincere
Thanks to BET for jump-startin' my career
As for '106,' who they askin' about?
Free and A.J, can't wait to see y'all back on the couch
And MTV for givin' advance warnings
John Singleton plus the chance at performin'
The Source, XXL, Rolling Stone, Vibe
The truth, the lies, the layout in rides
For every write up forever in context
King Magazine, Elle Girl and Complex
To all the producers for providin' the beats
Shouts to Neo, Tunehedz, Divine and Elite
JR, Wyclef, Kanye, can I rep'?
This is real hip-hop, be damned if I let
Y'all tell me otherwise, 'cause we so live
This one's for, 9-5-4 and 3-oh-5
All the way to 7-1-8, and 2-1-2
And if you ever showed love, this ones for you
But I gotta say thanks, even those that hated
'Cause, 'cause, y'all kept me motivated, uh, woo
You see, a lot of times people don't appreciate the love and support that they get
From their family and friends, haters and hoes that love 'em too
But not me, see, I never take none of that for granted
So I knew I had to take a moment, at least
To let y'all know how I felt about it, come on
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank y'all
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank y'all
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank y'all
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank
'Cause without y'all, there is no me
Oh, and Chach I ain't forget about you
I know when you mixin' this down, you gon' do a real good job on it
I know I probably forgot a ton of people, but
Don't think that, you don't count or you ain't important
It's just that, it's a lot going on right now
I got my L lit, little bit of Hennessy left in my cup
And I ain't even really drink like that
I love y'all, 'The Rest is History' baby
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank y'all
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank y'all
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank y'all
I gotta thank God, I wanna thank y'all
