I've lied and cried, I even tried to bide my time But it's no use, my mind's designed to rhyme And every line that I write is like an insight into my life And even truth can sometimes get you into strife But that don't stop me, cause true hip-hop be The cornerstone takes away the pain like cortisone Or add to it

Like it was tenfold I seen greater men fold Tales of the streets turn gold I seen for better and for worse

I've been the first to come last, the last to come first.

I've seen it worse than it's ever been done before.

I've seen the joys of peace and the glory of war.

I've seen a lot of things change.

Some for the better and some for the strange I've seen the years slip away like days And I still find myself amazed

I created a maze only to run into hedges, bump my head into ledges, shrugging like the color of necklace, took time to build spine, strength from defenseless, good nights meant legless, now it's dining with the bestest of friends, SBX, rock-a-roo-matic essences, to be on the end with the magic of

emphasis I want to thank you for the faith the adventures believing in your lay you made me push through the trenches

I'm amazed you're amazing.

Somehow we've taken aging and morphed it into wisdom.

Cause lately I've found appreciation like never before.

Guts aching with love as our hearts hollow the encore Consolidating once more, life's too short

Pass like concords with light and true force.

Let's take flight.

Your hand in mine, bright clouds, sons and daughters left.

Yeah, I am amazed at what this music has done for me and for my life and the people I love.

It's like...

Who would have thought back from bumper kiss said tapes that I'd be rocking shows, dropping albums with best mates.

I like to test fate.

Keep it in line when it get out of shape.

Straight in the climb I find zigzag and jet lag.

Ripped off fairs bad.

Watch the clock dare cost you when you stare back.

I am amazed at the maze in which we live the strength.

Courage and strain that it gives us stimulates us so we evolve by adaption Traps are set just to test our reaction

I'm here to say much love to Big Huns.

I got your back, brother, till stumps.

And way past our sirens, we roar like lions.

The Syllabolics family is us.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm amazed at the talent, amazed at the planet, amazed at the ways we behave

Becomes habit that remains ingrained in the brain.

The only thing that's changed is the name on the packet.

The fact of the matter, we've backtracked for bad.

A good dose of these quotes.

Hope approach the ladder with caution.

I'm forcing my hand to pen what's written while thinking of my man.

Staring with chest out, no doubt what's best left unsaid.

Like heads know who's got next round.

Soundless sirens.

Winning or the start, each minute that pass Marks the beginning when I'm spitting these bars

Slow up.

Then we'd lay in more doubles than Noah's Ark.

Noah's Ark.

Show has to spark.

From dark to light, this mic's a go up Yeah, this world's amazing Still they try to dumb us down with electromagnetic field radiation

From phone towers to power stations.

Seen them put the chlorine in the water and claim that ain't purification.

I've seen Satan in the faces on the news Making statements about hate Seen Jesus in the eyes of an AIDS patient

Seen the glory of God in the hand of a Palestinian kid holding the rock.

I seen the block car archers of Petra and traveled to

apart with St.

Mary on a hospital stretcher.

I carried the cross and looked across an Istanbul rooftop from the Hagia Sophia to the Blue Mosque.

I've washed my feet in the waters of Jordan and learnt the worst curse you can ever claim is boredom.

I look on in disbelief.

We fill the world with a cacophony of gunshots that block out the symphony.
