Lyrics
Fresh! For you!
Yeah!
Let me read what's in this envelope, another fan wrote
"The boy like cooked coke
I'm loving what you did for the rap world and all
Still humbling the game, over the years ain't nothing changed
Same hard ass drums, incredible basslines
Fuck sugarcoating shit, you one of the top five, dead or alive
And some dudes used to say that you wouldn't survive
'Cause you be sampling and shit but you ain't pay it no mind
'Cause see, some of these cats ain't got the will to survive
Yeah, they beats aight, but they ain't got that drive
They ain't got that consistency to chase that life
That you got, for you Nottz, I ride or die
I make beats myself, any advice for the kid?
Nottz, I need help, I been doing this for years
With the help of nobody else
It's you I look up to 'cause you do it for us" (Fresh!)
This is all for my fans, I do it for (Y'all)
Everybody 'round the world, you know this for (Y'all)
Real music y'all, custom made for all (Y'all)
I do it for (Y'all), this is all for you
And sho' nuff, I couldn't have done it without (Y'all)
More than ten years in the game for this I thank (Y'all)
Love's still the same, ain't nothing changed, I love (Y'all)
I do it for (Y'all), this is all for you
I got another fan letter in the mail
I can't tell who it's from, the ink's faded
And by the stamp I can make out it was sent from Canada
Caught a Niles from there, see what my nigga talking 'bout, he wrote
"Dear Nottz, I'm a fan, something similar to Stan
Just without the blonde hair, every beat you ever made
Is dismantling the game, smashing these suckers
Snoop Dogg know it, ask R. Kelly, fucker
That's the best beat that he ever sang on, period
Who saying you ain't the truth? Rap ain't hearing it
Little Brother told me check M.O.P
Busta Rhymes, Ced, Doc Dre and X to the Z
As all students of your bassline spitting over history
In present day time, nobody got the fire like you
Beat battles, you against the whole crew
It's like Superman going against Care Bear Blue
I'm trying to be like you, but I ain't got the productivity
Snares like a gun, your kicks are electricity
Shocking any Fruity Loops, Logic shut down
Aka's are paralyzed when Rah's in town
I'm a fan my nigga"
I do it for (Y'all)
Everybody 'round the world, you know this for (Y'all)
Real music y'all, custom made for all (Y'all)
I do it for (Y'all), this is all for you
And sho' nuff, I couldn't have done it without (Y'all)
More than ten years in the game for this I thank (Y'all)
Love's still the same, ain't nothing changed, I love (Y'all)
I do it for (Y'all), this is all for you
I'm 'bout to open another one
And this came from North Cakalak, "Little Brother all day nigga"
Written on the back, Big Pooh and Phonte
They my niggas, in fact, I need to send them a track or two
Let me see what they up to
What up Nottz? It's Phontigga, let me rep you real quick
'Cause I been checking for you ever since
Like '98 with Extinction Level Event
The way that "Everybody Rise" used to set off the disc
Had everybody thinking this is how the shit should be
'Cause we ain't nod our heads, we shook our heads in disbelief
And so when youngins think you new to the beats, I run your catalog
Real live in stereo, no analog
The blueprint if you trying to use the ASR
You know you better than the rest 'cause they ain't up to par
And you can call me Barry Bonds, yep, here's another hit
Plus you put it down on that Life of the Party shit
A pleasure and an honor to record on it
Got these other beat makers thinking
"Why the fuck I never thought of this?"
Because they ain't Nottz, Rah homie, you a shining star
Diamond in the rough, Rapper Pooh, now I'm signing off
This is all for my fans, I do it for (Y'all)
Everybody 'round the world, you know this for (Y'all)
Real music y'all, custom made for all (Y'all)
I do it for (Y'all), this is all for you
And sho' nuff, I couldn't have done it without (Y'all)
More than ten years in the game for this I thank (Y'all)
Love's still the same, ain't nothing changed, I love (Y'all)
I do it for (Y'all), this is all for you
