lyrics

Verse:
Since 9-1, spring season, felt hunger, ate beats
Spit with determination, flow hard like Grape Street
Snatched wins, took losses, rose quick, stayed stronger
Built words with heart, kept guards up to last longer
On the low, peeped scenes, stepped up, shook chiefs
Wised up from wrong hustles and cooked beefs
Formed groups, branched out, couldn’t paint the same picture
Egos became downfall with no fixture
Not only that, we grew distant
Through that, I made the promise to stay persistent
With sharp focus and swift approach
My tongue flips the prose and voice rips the shows
Plus, crowd support and full attention
‘Cause I go through so many moods to swing in one dimension
Who’s like Shaq in his prime, shattering rims
Motivated to smash beats conducted by Hym
It’s big DermDZL, Florida’s renegade
Pose in B-Boy stance at center stage
Dues payer, crew slayer, most of y’all could use prayer
Fabricating stories from Dons and true players
With vets’ approval, I’ll bring it back to the raw again
And, salute all my folks from the region of origin
And, worldwide, contrary to what critics think
I was born to hold positions in these Hip Hop ranks
So, I’ma let you know…
