Verse1:
As I catch my breath
I step into a dream and it seems no premonition or intuition or inner vision Imagines
I'm having a blast from the past
As I move through that groove
Way back before the tool used by my crew was ever
Worldwide Internet accessible
Before I was wise and realized that the pressure to
Be the man can and will make you ill
If you lack skill to stay real and just feel the rhythm
Listen I ain't driven by sale
I'm inspired by the fire that fell from Messiah
I'm tired of the stories of dark hearts
That dwelled in the dark parts of the neighborhood known as Mission Park
I'm enraged for my people they locked in a cage
I'm the flame for my brother who lives with no name
I am the voice of a shorty that died with no choice
No choice I had but to be this bad
And to travel through the land with a mic in my hand
Communicating His plan
No matter who or what stand in my way
I'm amazed that God chose me
Yo it's a humbling experience to be an emcee
I'm awestruck that God saw fit to use me
It's a humbling experience y'all

Hook
(From the stars at night/ to the morning light
From the Love received/ because I believe
That's my serenity -
Sounds so heavenly takes my breath away
To all the times when the speakers blazin so loud
And I'm gazin to the crowd it leave me humble 'cause it's sold out
And I ain't never sold out
It leave me breathless

Verse 2
And as I catch my breath
I continue to glorify for the life the Lord and I share
Regardless of who or how many care
I stay aware that He's near
And if there never was a beat to box
A block party to rock
A floor lord to pop
A spray can to stop and then run
A DJ to drop on the one
It's all good life is more than a drum
I live my life as a son through the Son
So y'all never have to guess from which Kingdom I come from
Never will run from some uncircumcised Philistine
I'm created to reign
In His image and likeness
Many they try to fight this
I visualize life through His eyes as I write this
Them lights might make me shine like a star
But yo, I m humbled through the fact that I m a child y'all
I said I'm humble through the fact that I'm a child of God

Hook

Verse 3:
As I catch my breath
I'm blown away by the future that's still to come
But yet I'm humbled through the smile of my godson
The way my family looks to me is an awesome responsibility
I could care less if the whole world's feelin me
If my niece can t call me in Cali and confide in me
I'm livin lies if she looks into my eyes
And can't see the same man with plans and ambition
Who left the park of eighteen years with a mission
And though I'll succeed and achieve my goals
I ain't tryin to gain riches at the cost of my soul
I've been taught by many wise men in my day
But lately, I've been taught by the day that's right
My life since "76"
Been full of blessings and devilish tricks
And I wonder how many more summers I've got to live and

How many more rhymes I've got to give
Compared to eternity life is but a breath
So I'll rock each mic until I've got none left
And when my time has come and my body is gone
A yo I'm humbled that my life will live on through the song
I rock on and on and on and on
I'm humbled that my life will live on through the song

Hook
(From the stars at night/ to the morning light
From the Love received/ because I believe
That's my serenity -
Sounds so heavenly takes my breath away
To all the times when the speakers blazin so loud
And I'm gazin to the crowd it leave me humble 'cause it's sold out
And I ain't never sold out
It leave me breathless

(Bridge)
Somehow I can face another day
Never knew life could take my breath away
