If I have reached
What seems to be the highest peak
Though I was weak
You showed how far I'd see
If I have reached
What seems to be the highest peak
Though I was weak
You showed how far I'd see
I stand tall 'cause
I'm on the shoulders of giants
Stand alone like a calm soul in a riot
Studying in the ways
of the bold and defiant
Who never chose to be silent
Played the role of a lion
Feeding those totally reliant
On their wealth of wit
instead of gold or some diamonds
In a world known to be
cold and it's violent
I'm marching with Martin
overthrowing tyrants
Music up loud 'til it's
roarin' like sirens
Now they say my music is
known for inspiring
Maybe that Jun's with me
and the spirit of Miles and Marley
Or Parker's lyrical style that haunts me
Plus I'm studying Nas Com and Jill
So I can make music
it's hard not to feel
Like Stevie
No wonder we call that the real
Believe me
I'm as strong as foundation built
Beneath me
If I have reached
What seems to be the highest peak
It was on your shoulders
Though I was weak
You showed how far I'd see
And the journey's not over
If I have reached
What seems to be the highest peak
It was on your shoulders
Though I was weak
You showed how far I'd see
And the journey's not over
Me alone these accolades ain't meant for
The man that I am is largely
due to my mentors
I try to do what I was sent for
A long list of people should be
sharing this splendor Raise them
Glasses if you help raise him amazing
Ask this if Jun didn't praise
him would you play them
Classics or would you
just label him average
I ain't the one to debate with
my maker what the path is
I just thank him for the opportunity
And for folks like J Dilla
who influenced me
More than musically
he did it thru his illness
Still inspired to create
though he was real sick
Thanked his momma
when I met her man that's real shit
You ain't worthy of respect
if you don't feel this
To my giants last heros God bless
I'll carry the torch while
carrying who got next
If I have reached
What seems to be the highest peak
It was on your shoulders
Though I was weak
You showed how far I'd see
And the journey's not over
If I have reached
What seems to be the highest peak
It was on your shoulders
Though I was weak
You showed how far I'd see
And the journey's not over
The journey's not over
The journey's not over
The journey's not over
The journey's not over
The journey's not over
The journey's not over
The journey's not over
