|
| Yeah
|
| What does it mean to be transcendent?
|
| It simply means any error that ever existed you can stand in it
|
| I am the man who brings color to the bland image
|
| Determined to make originality a pandemic
|
| How do you do it? |
| Place yourself in every known time
|
| To accomplish this you have to think beyond your own mind
|
| The real truth with the gifts the creator deals you
|
| And while you live, choose to make music that will outlive you
|
| Hard to compare you, it’s a spiritual battle
|
| What you unravel alters the course individuals travel
|
| Straight blessed with high levels of excellence sustained
|
| And the standards that you established, that precedent remains
|
| Not afraid to be original, style standing alone
|
| They don’t wait to see what others are doing, they set the tone
|
| Socially, politically, athletically fashion the music
|
| The greats don’t follow trends, they give birth to movements

|
| Never placing yourself in a box, the intention is to expand limits
|
| Having that gift that they call vision
|
| When they play your songs, you, your children and your grandchildren can all
|
| listen
|
| For every topic there’s a record they can play
|
| Your voice being heard somewhere every second of the day
|
| Your impactful words have people affected in a way
|
| That their behavior patterns change and they reflect on what you say, and
|
| Everyday other will listen they’ll discover you
|
| And fall in love with you, scholars and college students study you
|
| Though not necessarily famous or smartest, your works exalted
|
| And immortalized by painters and artists
|
| And triggering every emotional feeling on the spectrum
|
| Intercepting the world’s pressures, hoping to redirect ‘em
|
| And what you give ‘em, you nice, raising religion
|
| And pays homage to the God who placed you in that position
|

|
| Critics malign you and no single category defines you
|
| Your mind unleashes future new breeds coming behind you
|
| With bills steadily faded or outdated, you’ll never be
|
| Your words are medicine and your music will serve as therapy
|
| And the only common rule is that you did it how you wanna do
|
| They all respond to you, people from every country honor you
|
| And some won’t understand and abandon you but the true won’t
|
| They remember all the words to your songs, even when you don’t
|
| They appreciate the value and back you with no issue
|
| They roll with you forever, evolve and grow with you
|
| You never fade with unlimited homage being paid
|
| The talent that comes away for the message to be conveyed
|
| Many people being saved, you speakin' out on what matters
|
| Ascending the the stratosphere of legendary status
|
| Everybody wants to meet you, accomplishments go unequaled
|
| And the greatest thing about you is you did it for the people, man
|
