[Intro: Substantial + Funky DL] [Verse 1: Substantial] I'm headed out ta' Various cities that I encounter Handin' concierge pa**ports across counters Cross timezones, find poems above clouds Check in prior to mic checks after I touchdown Triple S time, get rhymes in order For the evening festivities. Make time for daughter Via Skype ‘cause she missing me like I'm on a poster And I am but it's different see I am not lost but Find me on stage, losing my self like Mr. Mathers Spittin' what matters to listeners at this particular gathering ...And I admit that I have a gift for the gab But still make time to get equip for the path so I bring ...Something true to the table So this music enables me To go where few aren't able To do their thing Lay the foundation for ‘em Hopefully it'll be discovered when they're out their explorin' Nah'mean [Hook: Substantial] x2 I don't know Where this path goes But I'll be there Mic in my hand Soul pumpin' out my chest While the DJ hold it down Playing something I can bless [Verse 2: Funky DL] I am a child of music, flowing just like a cruise ship I won't ever loose it, brighter then when the rooms lit Holding the mic so tight, I'm bound to give it bruises The way I do's this, It's like people are feeling clueless Who' this? Funky, the lord of the underground Strike like lightning, following with the thunder sound BOOM! So come dance with me, while p-dot-r do it substantially So what's the reason? we want to give you something to believe in Every-time we take a piece of vinyl, pull it out the sleeve And put a needle to it, you can feel a positive influence Like a teacher to a student, at the same time it's the coolest And every-time I do this, I don't question me It's just my chosen path, journey, and my destiny So like my man Stan say "We lay the foundation for them" Hopefully they play this record when they're chilling on the corner Nah'mean [Hook: Funky DL] x2 I don't know Where this path goes But I'll be there Mic in my hand Soul pumpin' out my chest While the DJ hold it down With the records he suggests [Outro: Substantial + Funky DL] Fresh! ... Rest In Peace Nujabes
