Large Professor
Journey
[Verse 1]
Life is a journey, before I went the rap route
I served n***as off the bench like Stackhouse
Going in with no intention to back down
My cocaine flow solidified, I spit crack now
You get consignment from my mental stash house, I'm back
Drought's over, fiend's mouth foaming
There's residue in the screen, my mic smoking
Time to show these n***as it's doe or die, my eyes ain't closing
Ever since I started rhyming, the crime rate's lower
And I froze my watch cause time waits for no one
Can't fuck with NY, when you think it's over
We stay coming back like the Yanks with homers
I ain't living on the strength of no one
Controls my fate, I hold my weight and know my place
When I show my face, it's all love
If not, I say "fuck it," I don't mind hate

[Verse 2]
How the mighty have fallen
The city never sleep, look how tired New York is
Where I was born and raised is a part of my aura
I'm too young to die, to old to try the corners
Truth be told, I'd move weight before starving
Life has highs and lows like a song from Marvin
Police take lives and go free of all charges
Justice fucks us and conceives martyrs
So I open my eyes to the vision of Malcolm
I live for today, yet I wish tomorrow
Is better than yesterday don't exist no longer
I don't maintain, I elevate and just go harder
With verses you sweat like a lyrical sauna
The message I'm sending with a pen in my palm is
The hiatus is over, I have risen and conquered
Laugh now, cry later, this is the karma
Hip-hop never died, it's just sick of the drama
[Verse 3]
Apparently I realized my destiny's
To write about life in the street and its complexities
In the city that never sleep, many dreams are never reached
I ain't afraid to fail if later it will help succeed
I'm the same n***a but money change everything
From location to patience, it's motivation for every scheme
Poetically I'm making a strong case concurrently
With the flow presently redefining my legacy
Life is purpose and goals, death is not doing
Anything can be achieved if you believe, eventually.....
