[Chorus]

I got a feeling this is just the beginning

It’s still the first inning and we’re already winning

I never thought I’d be in this position

Now I’m gonna kick back, relax and listen

[Verse 1]

I remember it like it was yesterday

The sky was grey I was ready to play

Piano keys were my needs

Turned pain to beauty like Polo G

Solo me didn’t know

That in a short time I would surely grow

Into a pro, don’t you know

They don’t make ‘em like these where the cold wind blows

Take a seat now let me tеach you

All the rules of hip-hop streets

DJ Kool Herc pavеd the way

For the MC’s of today

Back then they would use a boom box

Now its all digital like stocks

Brings me back, a bag of pop rocks

In a place where all time stops

Hearing all my favorite songs

In a Cole world, all day long

It was alchemy with the beats and rhymes

Then I made a hit-boy, it was prime

Like Deion Sanders, the big commander

At the helm, so check your manners

At the front door leave the past

I’m coming full force and I will not crash

[Chorus]

I got a feeling this is just the beginning

It’s still the first inning and we’re already winning

I never thought I’d be in this position

Now I’m gonna kick back, relax and listen

[Verse 2]

Music’s been a part of me

Ran through my bones since infancy

I was at festivals at the age of three

Those are some of my earliest memories

Michael Franti and Spearhead

Were the movement and I was lead

To conscious lyrics, it hit my spirit

Popped in my headphones to be near it

Got elevated, Grandmaster Flash

Taught me The Message in my first class

Graduated to the College Dropout

My first CD, it was a lock now

Hip-Hop music flowed thru my veins

For the art of the story not the shiny chains

Then came D.A.R.E., People Under the Stairs

Now we freestyling, I’m prepared

Into a trance going off the top

In my mind was a tunnel where I would not stop

Picking up fresh lines, on my way

In my flow state I would float away

That was my Youth like Matisyahu

A conscious move then I heard Let’s Groove

By the great Earth, Wind and Fire

Now I’m the water flows get you higher

[Chorus]

I got a feeling this is just the beginning

It’s still the first inning and we’re already winning

I never thought I’d be in this position

Now I’m gonna kick back, relax and listen

I got a feeling this is just the beginning

It’s still the first inning and we’re already winning

I never thought I’d be in this position

Now I’m gonna kick back, relax and listen
