Yeah I see you got your Game face on
But deep down I know you wish they wasnt playin that
Low-postin got you goin through the motions
Full of gall, fumblin the ball to where the players at
Junior varsitys no match for the bigs, son
Champion a cause stop stressin that division
Titles are petty and already you display
Traits of greatness take this vote of confidence
As a catalyst for armament
The strongest men win packin the consciousness
Of self-worth developin personally to see the
Purpose is more than letters on a shirt
Silk-screened revolutionaries will come and go
Esteemed visionaries mostll never know by name
Some came just to walk through
But if you wanna be a Tupac, too son I got you
Step to the side when they
Push from behind
Its a long road to travel take time to look around
Some avoid the water and still manage to drown
Somethin tells me
Theres a reason to believe in these kids
I feel a leaders here in our midst
Dont be afraid to raise your fist like this
But youre all about the real talk
So verbose, whats exposed when you peel the bark back?
Hard is the shell for the skeleton
When the mind roams it grinds bones into gelatin
So my weapon of choice is the power to choose
Use it like a knife slice strife in two
Standin over sew the strands to the coat of many colors
Man you gon need it with this band of brothers
Whatd they teach you bout the discipline?
Whatd they teach you bout livin in
An era where the sentiment is rarer than a cent up in the tenement
Did they mention that or werent you listenin?
Its time you form your own opinion on life
And when youre finished Imma lend you the mic
Supply the insight, shed light, shine bright thats real talk, dukes
And when you wanna rock I got you
Step to the side when they
Push from behind
Its a long road to travel take time to look around
Some avoid the water and still manage to drown
Somethin tells me
Theres a reason to believe in these kids
I feel a leaders here in our midst
Dont be afraid to raise your fist like this
you can tell how ignorant people are just by looking at the view count

common market easily has some of the most influential lyrics in the hip hop game. Seattle's hip hop scene is keeping it real, for sure.
