The Greatest Lesson

Sitting here with this pad in my hand/Got my pen on Rakim, dripping out a master plan/I’ve been dealt a hand and I’m a play it/No partner, no spades solitaire how I lay it/I came home back to rapping got some love/Made some lifelong friends kind you toast in the club/But soon I realized I determine my rise/The destination and the definition of my prize/Check my zodiac I’m built for the grind/Wonder why you see them stars when you peep the winter sky/’Cus I was made for this I’m like a slave to this/That whip go to cracking and I’m rapping straight off the ship/I give my life in these bars/Martyr on the microphone with Judas as an A&R/’Cus everybody got a price/If you don’t know yours, just keep on living life/Better yet grab a mic, and let division begin/And watch the line disappear between foes and friends/Beginning and end this is overnight rhyming/Still need a few kites to keep my thoughts ‘tween the lining/Got to straighten up may lose a few friends/But it’s cool, as long as I don’t lose a few ends/’Cus when they come best believe I’m gone change/But the ones closest to me gone change right along with the game.
-Jason Perry
