Respect Over Fragments

(solo)

[Intro]
(Solo)
Oh, you think you got me all figured out, huh?
Fragments of my past, 
yeah, they scatter 'round
But respect, that’s what I cry out loud
Work for it, dig deep, make it loud

(Solo)

[Verse 1]

You claim you know my story, front to back
But all you got's echoes, faded and cracked
I ain't askin’ for no sweet affection
Just honor, straight up, no exception

(Solo)

[Pre-Chorus]
Work it, hustle, grind, yeah, it’s a real affair
No free love in this street, gotta be fair
Respect, I demand, not a fling or a trend
Hard work, hard talk, till the very end

(Solo)

[Chorus]
Work hard, free  voice, reggae flow
MM beat, let it roll, let it show
Old bang, yeah, we keep it real
Respect, that’s the deal, that’s the feel
(Solo)


[Bridge]
No shortcuts, no easy ride
Climb the mountain, push inside
Fragments are many, but I stand tall
Respect’s the call, respect’s the call

(Solo)

[Outro]
So you say you know, but you don’t really see
Respect’s the key, it’s the legacy
Keep grindin’, keep fightin’, that’s the way to be
Old school survivor, eternally free

(Solo)
