[Verse 1: Professor P]
I was born 17th of July, 1985
Life's a roller coaster, my favorite ride
Valleys and peaks through the balance we seek
Make every challenge unique, don't be afraid to try
No lie I've learned, from an early age about the pearly gates
Now I'm more concerned if I ever learn to turn the page
Cause I witnessed first hand broken plans turn to rage
Therefor I try to earn respect before I earn my wage
Wasn't born with no silver spoon
I was born where the illest tunes filled the room
MJ's "Thriller" soon, became the sound track
Now I got it down pat, bounce back like Nike Airs
I'm right where you lounge at
This is me, all that I am, check the history
I always stood tall like a man
And I don't call you my fan, I call you my fam
It's all in the plan, I promise to do all that I can
Sincerely yours...
[Hook: Daniel Adams-Ray]
Let me do what I do, I'll be true
True to myself and true to all my peeps
Cause I do what I do just for you
[Scratch: DJ Ak**es]
Havoc: You feel what I feel, you know the deal
[Hook: Daniel Adams-Ray]
Let me do what I do, I'll be true
True to myself and true to all my peeps
Cause I do what I do just for you

Jay Z: All I need is the love of my crew
[Verse 2: Professor P]
I was born 17th of July 1985
Soon my 27 like my aunt on the day she died
Seeing mom maintain through the pain that she laid aside
Gave me pride, got too many thought to let them stay inside
So I scribble down what I live around
I'm L-Town and U-Town city bound with my committee now
And we're sampling this soul, to give y'all a sample of our soul
Watch a champion unfold, my goal's
Been the same since I was eight or nine
Haven't signed with no major but we're still on a major grind
A creative mind tryna find a way to shine
Hoping one day some say I wrote their favorite rhyme
I'm not afraid of dying, only afraid of not living
Driven by this thing I got given
Won't stop till we're sitting on top I'm not kidding it's hot
I rock rhythms for a cause, sincerely yours...

[Rap bridge: Professor P]
This is me, all that I am, check the history
I always stood tall like a man
And I don't call you my fan, I call you my fam
It's all in the plan, I promise to do all that I can
Sincerely yours...
