Story Behind The Song

As an artist, our work lives and dies sometimes by the response from those who give our art a target. So I just wanted to let them know that I am giving back to them in this song.

Song Description

Real Hot!

Lyrics

This 4 the Listener
Verse1

I win cause I?m willin to lose and come back
Now I?m fittin to prove with one rap
The flow has the power to soothe, I?ve done that
Delivery?s smooth as the back of a thumbtack
It can either stick to or rip through
Depends on what you?re tryin to do
Thought you were walkin, hawkin, and stalkin me
But I already had somebody eyeing you
Got friends on every part of the Earth
And they ain?t even met me yet, but they?ve been in search
I?m sayin, cause they know what I?m worth
I was even flowin my baby talk the day of my birth
As it grew from goo goo to mommy
Stayed on course with the force of a tsunami
If you don?t know what that is then look it up
T-S-U-N-A-MI WHAT?

(chorus) 2x
This is for those who listen to those that spit
Come to the shows in droves and don?t sit
Know all the flows that you?re supposed to kick
And they keep on lovin it
This is for they who hear what you?re tryin to say
And what you try to convey
And they play your songs everyday
Now that?s love and that?s my pay

Verse2
Do it for the people who appreciate
Respect what you do cause they think it?s great
Come to your shows to participate
The ones who buy your music cause they really relate
Not for the latest fad
Not for the ones who wanna see you do the greatest bad
Not to buy every color jag, and every color handbag
And 50 million dollar pad
Ain?t nothing wrong with livin nice
I?ve been so poor that we couldn?t afford mice
Didn?t have enough rice
And in the refrigerator all we had was ice
That?s my bond cause that?s my word
As life continued on, attacked my nerves
And nothing soothes like knowin you paid dues
And that you?ve learned to express your views
So peace to the listener, Hip-Hop parishioner
Songs are no longer a prisoner
Now they?re free A-W-A-KE
To be whatever they can be
Hopefully it?s in your cd player, playa
Cause it?s the product of a prayer
Blessed and manifested through a rhyme sayer
And this is how I?m gonna pay ya

(chorus)

Verse3
Take a bow it might take awhile
To get to everyone in the crowd
Yo you want it low or loud, you want it hot or mild?
I deliver no matter the style
You want it wet or dry, you wanna laugh or cry?
Or you just wanna close your eyes?
To reminisce inside so you can lift and fly?
Or you just want a drink and a fry?
