[Intro: K-Rino]
Yeah man, we been in this thing a long time, man
It's good to think about the situations that motivated us to go further and keep going man
Doing it for the love, listen!

[Verse 1: K-Rino]
I was 17 tryna get my name out
High School junior when Criminal Minded came out
Rolling through the park knowing nobody was tall as me
My jaw hit the ground the first time I heard poetry
Tripping over what I heard, mind straight blown
Realising there's another level I need to be on
Me and DBX and C-Rock used to kick it
We was broke, couldn't afford no concert tickets
Flip the the hotel–bus, not a cab
Hoping that we'll meet a rapper and get us an autograph
Some walked in and said, "What's Up?"–some didn't speak
Then KRS-One came into the lobby one deep
I was nervous to approach him and tried to shake his hand
Until he showed us he was real and he was cooler than a fan
And right then is when I knew is that's the way I'm gonna be
Ain't nothing like getting love from your favorite MC, yeah
