Songtexte Letter to the King - R-MEAN

I used to hold the remote of my mother's TV as a mic
And emulate you
Rap along to everything
You was the reason I started emceeing
Nothing as real as
Instead of homework I would study your lyrics
Cuz you would hit us with the science and physics
And rhyme so descriptive the image in the mind was so vivid
I closed my eyes and I lived it
That's how you pushed the mind to its limits and making us feel
Half Man Half Amazing for real
My inspiration I still remember the first time
I heard "It Was Written"
The Message, I Gave You Power
Look your shit was just different
Illmatic was like a Bible
That shit gave my life a mission
I was just a kid that had a vision
Fast forward it's Nas the God's Son
The greatest of all time
Helped me through depression and the dark times
I'm saying
I used to drive drunk by myself bumping "Drunk By Myself"
Going wherever instinct takes me
And you might not know me
But where I'm from I'm the one
See I'm deep in their lives
In my community they call me the Armenian Nas
And all I know you was my childhood hero
So I'm here to salute your legacy
Never dispute supremacy dawg
So I chose to reach out like this
Taught us to stay true what we be about like this
Went from the projects to Harvard
Street prophet evolved fast
Peace & Love God
Sincerely Yours, R Dash

This a Letter To The King
A letter to the God
Nothing for me to pen an open letter from the heart
Cuz if only I reach one person how you reached my soul
Then if so I done reached my goal
So this a Letter To The King
A letter to the God
Nothing for me to pen an open letter from the heart
Cuz If only I reach one person how you reached my soul
Then if so I done reached my goal
So this a Letter To The King

Headphones on was rocking for months
The Way I Am, rapping along off the top of my lungs
That was the anthem for every kid
That's feeling empty as vacuum
Sitting by myself in the corner back of the classroom
Hiding inside my hoodie
Broken but never cracked
Cause you told me to be a fucking soldier till I collapse
Infinite from the brink of it
How this kid even think of it?
I would study your patterns like how he spitting so intricate
All I wanted to be as a teen that was hurt
Was the meanest MC on the sea on this earth
You the king of this controversy from Shady to King Mathers
All the shit you had to go to to get to that king status
You came in the game brutally honest
Offending lot of folks
But I could instantly hear the pain
That's hiding behind the jokes
To say you've been through it all is an understatement
But you wasn't scared to share it with us
So we all related
From your baby mama, your daughters, your moms
To the drugs ya
Single-handedly broke the barriers of this culture
And I know you sacrificed the whole lot
And the fame depresses you
Cause your level of fame is different dawg
They just obsessed with you
But I always say the chosen one's supposed to struggle
And you changed so many lives
That's including mines you know
Where I'm from I'm the one
Ain't no need to pretend
In my community they call me to Armenian Em
And yeah I still hope that one day me and you can work
I just put that out in the universe
Rap God
I'm just writing this from the heart
Cuz I'm here to salute your legacy
Never dispute supremacy dawg
Nobody could've designed it better
Marshall Mathers the greatest of all time forever
Thank you for being the inspiration that we all need
Peace and love God
Sincerely Yours R-Mean
