Started writing music back when I was 14 Didn’t want to do what’s done, that bored me
Who will support me? Who will ignore me? Can I get signed will I hit the big time?
These are the questions of a naive innocent,
You will see the powers that be couldn’t give a shit
Now ones ever paid me, music’s so lazy Have you listened to the shit on the radio lately?
It sucks everybody’s chasing the big bucks or dumbing it down
But we can turn it around. Ya it’s a big bad sound from the friends that I found
Now you can hear us erupt coming up from the underground
No mic-envy, don’t call myself an MC
Won’t get boxed in, locked in, to just one of the facets
Of the music we love that inspired a planet
Though it’s more about promotion then your actual lyrics
Now get a marketing budget and maybe someone will hear it
But here in the digital age we found a new stage to perform on
We’re happy just to give it away
Independent music will leave ya buried in peril
No one will cover me, I’m feeling like I’m Larry Fitzgerald
So I pay from my pocket I never chased a profit, glory or girls
Just want this music heard across the world
(Entity)
We’re here, and our influence is clear,
We disappear, our mark is left on history we’re on the frontier
Got a sound that will astound and break barriers down
From the ground up bringing a change beyond profound
(Kincade)
Na it’s not planned or contrived But babe once I cross that line I’m never coming back
And when I’m gone I’ll let Music be my Epitaph
I’ll let Music be my Epitaph

Music, I will never lose it Cause I will choose it, use it
Being my method of attack to what's weighing on my back
Knowing I will never slack On my first love, it started way back
When I knew coming through with a purpose
World work this, and be effective My method of release to increase perception,
Laying out my cause knowledge, my weapon
Hip-hop is the inscription I'm itching to obtain carving out my legacy, fuel to maintain
The food for the brain, the tools to attain a generation that’s eternally changed
And will never be the same I'm releasing the flame that'll constantly drain
My experience & will be the source for the main
Recollection whenever you can think to remember my name
It started, leveling the beat, turning the mic to the dearly departed
Never been the one to break under pressure my ability has been charted
Transforming, levelin up and then zoning out for the music, postponing
All negativity aimed directly at me, my love for the music made me an emcee
Two letters, breaking down the fabric of it all
Spittin and ripping, and kicking everything answering the call,
Combining the forces we are the trinity are method is flawless
My words will live on so we’re never looking back
On every single track I will constantly stack my emotion,
A notion of constant devotion A motion rippling as wide as the ocean
(Kincade)
Now you could reach the epitome and still be ignored by the industry
ECOMOG what? Man your killing me
Entity, Tonik we got one hell of a product
We won’t compromise ‘til the day we die we’ll stay honest
Na it’s not planned or contrived but babe once I cross that line, I’m never coming back
And when I’m gone I’ll let Music be my Epitaph
I’ll let Music be my Epitaph

96 When I turned to Hip Hop,
Mom's doing enough didn't get it from Pop's, gave me too many hugs when ready to cry With Hov I vibe, couldn't see em coming down my eyes
Took it to God, put it in lines, dealt wit it in the mind
Through rhymes define why I spit it on the mic so nice
Came from, hard time no Nike's clearance, pay less for sneakers and shoes
Wonder why they would tease me in school
Swore they were the Gary Payton's Who Knew?
Automatically I vent like Central Air
Had nobody but a pen and I really wanna talk about it,
Feeling compels, Ritalin's useless can't get rid of it
Won't Lie, I kept spitting the truth so reputable, turned to armor to guard
No harm when I talk, gotta Bio-Boost, transformed into like The Guyver Cartoon.
I been, through with the dudes that's abusing the music confusing the youth
Into using excuses seen on the tube do it in the booth proving a nuisance
Chucking the Deuces, gone with the wind phonies pretend
No rules on the truth, last will and Testament, fulfill my destiny
Mention me, when I'm through and gone, respectfully listen to my songs
Just to See Hip Hop was the bomb, it's gotta be written on ma Tombstone
