I raise my glass
to the day I was able to raise my pen
I raise my pen
to the vibe that initally inspired me
Dead Prez remix on a reggae riddim
DJ Power ur skillz are timeless
I raise my glass to you.

I raise my glass to
everyone and everything
that got me where I am today.

I raise my glass to
myself
for my accomplishments;
to those who
listened, cussed and ignored me.

To those who used me for their own gain;
to those who I used for mine.
Those who helped me and
those who helped themselves to me.

To those who allowed me to be me
and for those who hated my individuality.

It's been a long journey
and a struggle.
I have struggled to understand myself
in order to understand each of you.
I hear you and I know you hear me too.

So to all of the above and all not mentioned...

I raise my glass....to each of you.
