Achievement in the highest manner
Young emcees make me flip
Like my name was Bruce Banner
You can keep the glamour
It really don't appease me;
A scholar in the game
Like my name was Marv Levy
It's never easy 
To gain a crown or a title
You must first ascertain 
The right method of survival
On my arrival,
I stand and represent
Find a chink in the armor,
In the shield make a dent
And I invent 
New rhymes on the dailey;
Touch your soul to the roots 
Like my name was Alex Haley
Haley Berry used to be in my dreams,
'Til I realized 
Every Black woman is a queen
So I keep it clean, 
And represent like a king
I keep it right,
And know that real is everything
I don't sing,
I do my thing and manifest poetry
And offer comentary
On our everyday society
Like the snakes in the bushes
And of course the economy,
And then I ask
Why's it got to be
The Black man 
On the low end of the totem pole
Still coming through,
How we do with the soul
So hold.
I got your back
Gats want to clap;
It's us against the world
So we'll stand back to back
And it's a fact 
That you and I equals Self
I'm pulling dust books 
All off of the shelf
Hotness to make you melt
Feel the welts from the belt;
How it felt 
When I came like your pops
And I delt
Pure punishment
Serving justice for us
Believing in the self,
Like in God we trust

That's achievement in the highest manner...
