Intro Songtext
von Mims

Music is my savior
When I was young
Where I′m from, people didn't get out
People just sat in them corners hustlin′ for years
No sense of hope
Just an addiction to survive off of other people's addictions
So I made music mine
Him right there
He ran the spot
You couldn't make no money without seein′ him
And them right there Well, they worked for him
You see, a lot of faces come through and just disappear
Not because they move up
Mostly because they either dead, or in jail
Music saved my life
It kept me inside
It brought me home early
It kept me in the right place at the right time
So I dedicate this album to music
Music is my savior
Let′s do this!


Ever since birth, some thought I was cursed
Been through the worst, but I found a road
Not knowin' that eventually, they would mention me
As the next hot thing to blow
Not only that, but I′m comin' from a place
Where they wouldn′t expect MC's to pop
They say New York got buried in the game
So I guess it′s up to me to bring it back on top
Yes sir, I'm here, this is the year
No lookin' back, let′s make it clear
I′m on the map, wanna know where the future's at?
Well, you′re lookin' at him right here
First place, please slide to the rear
As I make my way up, 1-6-4 to the Billboard
In the end, gotta make them pay up
Now pay us what you owe us
Unfamiliar, now you know us
So on top of the chain, see your ceilings is our floors
And we buildin′ even mo', now the future′s lookin' pretty
So in love with the game, I'm about to build a city
And call it Hip-Hop, ain′t no stoppin′ this
It's the brand new metropolis
We set the trends, Cristal started actin′ up
Now the world stopped poppin' Cris′
We brought bands in the picture, mention Phantom on the track
Drove their sales up and witnessed the intensity of rap
It's a wrap!
