Panorama (feat. MeLa Machinko)

Bull rhythm
 Raw livin'
 Came up hard with no pot I could piss in
 Came up smart with no pot in my system
 At the beginning, then I went in
 I asked moms about pops, why he missin'
 I asked about the crack viles in the kitchen
 Before I knew being an addict was addiction
 Then it kicked in, then I pitched in
 That was when the classmates used to diss then
 What happened to your eye? They never listened
 They never wanted to know in the instance
 You wake up out of your sleep half of your vision
 Nigga I just couldn't see shit
 Used to feel like I was never gon' be shit
 Patch on my eye, I couldn't be Rick
 You wanna hear T-Pain can you believe it?
 My outlet was the music
 Was either that or hoop dreams was the cool shit
 I remember video music Box was the for new shit
 Reading the back of the flap to see who produced it
 Used to write raps on scraps like I could do this
 We used to scrap those raps like, "Are you foolish?"
 You ever heard of Rakim, Kane, Cool Chip?
 Well maybe not the last, them other two... shit
 You better find you a gig
 You never gon' make it happen how they rappin' my nig
 That was fuel to the fire that they light in the kid
 That's why I chose to inspire and enlighten the kids
 I was moved even higher by the writing of B.I.G.
 Before that was Illmatic every night in the crib
 Tribe Called Quest, the Gang Starr, too many to list
 So when I get to work with Preme man it's really a gift
 When I get to work with Pete man it's really the shit
 And new legends, 9th Wonder, Khrysis, and Fatin
 And everybody on the album that decided to pitch in
 Marco you my brother till they bury my skin
 Large Pro you a legend, don't know where to begin
 Buckwild, Diamond, Diggin' In The Crates to the end
 And my nigga Eric G., you remembering when
 You first hit me on Myspace, tryin' to be friends?
 Told you, you was the truth way back then
 Want 7 for the soul, now salute that man
 It's an army over here, y'all recruit that man
 Come up on a ill sample go and loop that man
 Really been the issues and journey since it began
 Couldn't tell you where I'm headed, how to get there fam
 But if you in it for the ride put your seat back then
 Ayo 'Tin put the beat back in
