So Fresh

(Album: Wanderlust Unknown - 2020)

Don't ever question skills I got up in my bag
They always compliment my sound
My melodies stay fresh but I'm not trying to brag
That's just the way that I get down

See the roots run deep down inside of me
The apple down fall far from the family tree
I've been boom bap since infancy
It's the gift of gab my momma did bless me
With a voice to rock, round the block
Spreading love for old school, jazz, funk and hip-hop
I'm your Idol, American Tale like Fifel
Second amendment use my voice like a rifle
Bang! hey, what's that sound?
It's Bshorty rocking through your town
Just the cream of the crop, rise to the top, forget me not

I'm certified so fresh
I'm certified so fresh
I'm certified so fresh
I'm certified so fresh

I give it up to everybody before me
Who laid it down and paved the way
They lit fire deep inside, inspired me
To pay it forward everyday

Doug E. Fresh, Biz Mark, Godfather Rahzel
Fifth Element, ya taught me so well
Made and M-Pact! Yes y'all can tell
Gonna make your head knock when you hear the beat drop
Spiting boot's, cat's, boot's, n' cat's
If found you missed it, then rewind it back... rewind it back
To where we used our voice as a boombox for rap
So here's to the greats of history
Who uplift and rep this community
If you didn't know these are some of the best, yes

They're certified so fresh
They're certified so fresh

So, so, so, so fresh

Yo I'm reminiscing
I remember I was ten when I sent a letter to Tin Pan Apple
Official appl-ication to the Fat Boys' fan club
My membership affected in '86 and every day since
I did this shit outta respect for my man Buff Love
Family eternally honor your legacy
Deuce he pour the forty out for SMG, especially
It's definitely Rest In Peace. Blessed be. Levity
Still feeling you heavily; the connection is heavenly
My baptism into this rap religion was delivered
As a literal spit bath of rhythm, way back
When I was jamming with Shannon inside the cipher
She was bussing and I knew all the rhymes to Son of Byford
I'm a Disciple of Run even B-4 he beat his bible
"This beat is my recital"; here go the holy revival
Holding broken vinyl, old soul is reinvented
By a generation of kids who went and put a spin
On the rotation of a record player laying in the basement
Flash of creative innovation
Yo the motto's built upon improvisation
Hiphop's on a rock Steady foundation
This is history in the making
We appreciate the observation
And assessment of the way we pay respect and admiration
To those who paved the road ahead, who knows what's next
Token of debt, Golden Era, glow forever so fresh

So fresh, RA Scion so fresh
Common Market so fresh, so fresh, so fresh
Killa Kela and Napom
Reeps One and of course Tom Thumb so fresh
Her-She, Kaila, Chris, Amit
80 Fitz, Gene & Felix so fresh
