I caught the bug in 87 never looking back Tricky the 1st record I recall had me hooked to rap A born Canuck living in T&T till adolescence Planted the seed of what would be today's semi-profession Back it up, what did I stumble across Heard a couple of dudes talking and then a number of thoughts Started racing inside my head of what it was I just watched All I know at the time I didn't want it to stop The images caught my eye plus the sound was unique From the style of the walk to the clothes to the sound of the speech Talking over the music with a style I never heard before A different kinda energy and I wanted to hear some more Later I learned it was a thing they call rap The generation before me thought it a fad and some crap That wouldn't last, but youth would have the last laugh That rap was here to stay and that's a matter of fact From, humble beginnings I've witnessed the progression The many stages in my development's been a blessing A few milestones to get me where I'm going Summarized in condensed form if you're not knowing Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Onto the next phase of this story I brought Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Onto the next phase of this story I brought Into the 90s T&T North Americanized TV began to see the world through American eyes TV and music influence was undeniable Donnie Simpson and Casey Kasem opened my eyes to view The latest music plays smoking the charts Remember T&T was Calypso and soca at heart 91 life circumstance would bring me back to the North Take the flame with me that I brought and then carry the torch That I kept lit while I studied greats and mastered my craft Recorded rhymes onto cassette through boombox when I rapped I remember thinking that everything I spit was so impressive In retrospect it was just a bunch of copycat impressions From Das Efx to Lord Finesse to Heavy D Biting before I figured out who I'd eventually be The growing pains until I came into my own The path to find my own voice on this microphone From, humble beginnings I've witnessed the progression The many stages in my development's been a blessing A few milestones to get me where I'm going Summarized in condensed form if you're not knowing Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!)

(Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Onto the next phase of this story I brought Fast forward, early 2000s where you find me In a circle amongst a bunch of my peers cypher rhyming Bouncing energy off one another like trampolines Downtown Guelph or Hamilton catch me rapping to beats Open mic or on the radio big shouts to my folks I chopped it up with on the regular when out at the shows Shout out the spitters who sparred to help me sharpen my blade The catalyst lighter fluid arson the spark of my flame You can say the water, the seed, planted the tree giving new life Now I bear the fruit of my labour verses I do write '07 was the genesis, Myspace was the platform Released my first recordings to the public I was proud of As time progressed so did my network too Messed with the best producers and put out my best work too Started with HomeGrown Monsters then my debut LP Feud For Thought with 2 beats that J. brewed and dealt me From, humble beginnings I've witnessed the progression The many stages in my development's been a blessing A few milestones to get me where I'm going Summarized in condensed form if you're not knowing Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Should I keep it going? (Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!)

(Yup!) or should I cut it short? (No!) Onto the next phase of this story I brought The quest continued, I reached the point of no return Continued plugging away at this music with no concern For the opposition of naysayers whose crutch is my age Till they see me live in the flesh and commend how I engage With the audience with relatability, skill and abilities Stand on what I speak on with truth and humility Aspired to inspire while lifting your spirits higher Kicking jewels for the soul with intensity minus the ire Vulnerable on We Are Only Getting Older Embracing your age and growth was the message that I told em Social Meteor the gift and the curse Summarized a number of interactive aspects at work Then connected on a short player for pandemic release Still riding high off adrenaline get me past the release Took a break and now I'm back on these beats back to unleash With J. Pal, release the hounds like busted straps on a leash From, humble beginnings I've witnessed the progression The many stages in my development's been a blessing A few milestones to get me where I'm going Summarized in condensed form if you're not knowing Should I keep it going?
