Let me take through this journey of light
through these bars I write
And introduce you to a poet named Trife
I learned how to ride a bike the first time
without the training wheels Spaghetti-O's
with cut up franks, that was my favorite meal
Peanut b***er and jelly
that's when them days was real
My moms kept the house clean
my pops paid the bills
Me and my brothers and sisters playing Twister
We used to sneak the Polaroid camera
and take pictures T-shirts with the Kool-Aid stains
remember V-necks?
I was 12 when I took my first train ride to the BX
Before Fat Joe and Big Pun created TS Drug dealers
rolled in Acura Legends, now it's a GS
BS, I'm too blessed to be stressed
I'd rather be in Key West Relaxing my mind
far from this BS On the road of success
moving on
with no regrets Looking forward
peep the words of this chorus and bop your neck
[C]
n***** can't stop my flow
I'm sure to blow Cuz I'mma shine like the sun
just right after it snow
Here's to all my fans sitting right there in the front row
I'mma sign autographs backstage after the show
To everybody out in the world that's getting dough Better Late Than Never's finally here
enjoy the flow
I know it's been a while, since two thou' now I'mma blow
So all my ladies scream "Ouhw" fellas yell "ho"

Chi-Town, House of Blues showcase Featuring the
legendary god Rakim, Theodore and Ghostface
The crowd was jampacked, all the ladies is anxious
Waiting for the main event
to see these New York gangstas Pandemonium
filling the air, b****** yelling from the tier
This could be the highlight of my career
I waited years now the chance is here
to seize the moment
On stage in the presence of legends this is a bonus
The spotlight is mine and believe me I'm gonna own it
Got a million dollar voice and my flow is like the batomic Master of all ceremonies
shine when the weather storm me
n***** putting garbage out, the radio, hella corny
That's why the world gon' feel my wrath
When I pick up these microphones and reveal my craft
The say the first shall be last, and the last shall be first
I'mma continue, tear the roof off the venue and put in work
[C]
n***** can't stop my flow
I'm sure to blow Cuz I'mma shine like the sun
just right after it snow
Here's to all my fans sitting right there in the front row

enjoy the flow
I know it's been a while, since two thou' now I'mma blow
So all my ladies scream "Ouhw" fellas yell "ho"

When the beat keep rocking, the East gon' keep rocking
When the beat keep rocking, Trife Dies' a keep popping
When the beat keep rocking, N.Y. is still popping
When the beat keep rocking, the ever keep popping
When the beat keep rocking, the East gon' keep rocking
When the beat keep rocking, Trife Dies' a keep popping
When the beat keep rocking, N.Y. is still popping
When the beat keep rocking, the ever keep popping
