The Bridge

I'm a tell it like it is and bridge the gap Between old school cats and this new wave of rap acts I don't take sides, I spit facts Finish at a real point when I rip tracks I see friction between two extremes Picture a new artist just getting into things They only know what's out now So to get their start They use what's hot as their benchmark And imitate it as best they can And only get so far like water in a dam On the other hand realize the 90's are gone Understand every era needs a sound to reflect on But things don't change. they only progress And come back to where they started like a bird to a nest Either way don't sit and hate because you can't relate Don't sit and hate because you can't relate Don't sit and hate because you can't relate Ima go do now, when you style a come true The youth then come running, now it appeal to them too Ima go do now, when you style a come true The youth then come running now it appeal to them too I'll give you the best of both worlds Like having a crib in the city and one in the burbs I'm perfecting, mastering my craft Respecting the future, present and the past I'm bumping Kendrick Lamar and KRS-one I'm dropping knowledge, wylin out and having fun I want to have my cake and eat it too And if you say that I can't, shit I say fuck you When they say be yourself and you'll go far What they really mean is figure out who the fuck you are Which is easier said than done Especially with so many influences to draw from Sometimes you got to shut it all out, go for yours Embrace your strengths and your flaws Start off by being sincere Then make the type of music you want to hear Ima go do now, when you style a come true The youth then come running, now it appeal to them too Ima go do now, when you style a come true The youth then come running now it appeal to them too Ima go do now, when you style a come true The youth then come running, now it appeal to them too Ima go do now, when you style a come true The youth then come running now it appeal to them too
