Best kept secret but the fam know

Trying to save a little green like Mando

Many come and go but your man though…

Know my worth that’s why I’m substantial

This is the way you make a banger and you make a difference

This is the way you shhh a hater and make’em listen

This is the way you pay it forward and you pay with interest

Uh, trying to learn you youngin’, pay attention

I done failed more times than most have tried, traits of a winner

Since rocking temper tapers, been trying to taper my temper

A cooler head that’s prеvailing but always ready to cook’em

From Maryland is wherе I’m hailing but I made my name in Brooklyn

A galaxy far away from Splash parties and cabarets

The home team colors are mustard and cabernet

Tagging up in alleyways unsure we’ll graduate

Memories feel like an infinite loop of Saturday

Cartoons and kung fu theatre, seemingly unrelated

Til you realize some of the shit we been kickin’ is animated

For your edutainment only get better and I'ma claim it

Reigning underground champ that's never had an arraignment

Wai' min't…

Black of All Trades, Renaissance Stan

Modern-day Harlem Renaissance Man him and his fam

Some grown up’s that got more growing to do, 1-2-1-2

Living the life I worked toward but never thought that it carry through

So what do you do, when some of your dreams come true, people look up to you

They see that you grew, shit that was hard to see, clearly within your view

Walk in your truth, tap into God within you, nobody harder than you

Walk in the booth, do what I do, rhymes just flow from out of the blue

And turn into green, know what I mean, since a teen, been living my dream

Had to recharge but I’m back on the scene, I work harder than a machine

All apart of my daily routine, all or nothing no in between

Kinda extreme for you, but me… being great is kinda my thing

Walking the path we pathed ‘cause our ancestor left the light on

Wrote our stories on stars when they couldn’t find shit to write on

Krylon over Orion been chosen to get my shine on

Turn the mic on, watch me grip it with the strength of a python, I’m on…

My hero’s journey, I swear it’s the stuff of legend

That make men into Gods and my birthday is on the 7th

Of January, which makes me a goat, it must be destined

Been giving them what they needed and they ain’t even requested, I must be

The best kept secret but the fam know

Trying to save a little green like Mando

Many come and go but Stan though…

Know his worth that’s why I’m Substantial

This is the way you make a banger and you make a difference

This is the way you shhh a hater and make’em listen

This is the way you pay it forward and you pay with interest

Uh, trying to learn you youngin’, pay attention

Listen
