We try to learn the ways of the world
Without accountin' for the weight of the world
We crack the oyster for pearl
That type of shit that cracked the turtle shell
It was from the heavens that the turtle fell
Greed made him heavy what the birds'll tell
I was just a baby when i heard of Hell
When I turned twelve told they told me I pronounce my words well
Had me reading stories to the congregation
A great orator stated as the major qualification
My grandaddy is alive in me
Headmaster teacher put the pride in me
They say we just alike
Believe it's deeper than they know I learn to trust the light
Believe it's deeper than they know I learn to trust the light

Sometimes it feel relevant
I spit it so elegant
Construct it intelligent
Deliver it send it then
Sometimes it feel lesser than, disrespectin' the veterans
I need to do better, damn
I need to do better, damn
The spider thought that he could take the wisdom for his self
He tried to climb the tree to hide away the wisdom on the shelf
But the baby help him see the truth
That knowledge meant for everybody not just me and you
That's why i see my message through

What I feel when I make music is like energy
It's not like--I'm not thinking about Premier when I make music
I'm not thinking about Pete Rock, I love their work
I love Dre, I love Timbaland
You got any inspirations stories? Old records
It is. Old records, you know
How I feel for the day, you know what I'm sayin
I don't understand how the shit comes through me or
When I feel the urge to work, it just happens
Like I said, it's a mood
Some days I wake up and I might not wanna make anything
But I'll get a phone call from Pete Rock
And it's back to the lab, know what I'm sayin'
So anything'll push me like that
But I don't have a set time like I just go in the studio at 5 o' clock
It's kinda whatever
