[00:08.63]Trenchtown as you know
[00:11.20]My family history runs deep there
[00:14.63]That's the place that my father grew up as a young man
[00:18.53]Now greetings to the world....
[00:22.60]Speaking patois
[00:34.20]The prophets in the beginning were musicians
[00:38.20]They were the poets, the writers
[00:41.10]And that's what we've been tasked with in this life
[00:47.63]Shit is...its actually kind of humbling, you know
[00:54.77]Gangsta no live in a tenement yard
[00:58.00]Rude boy no live in a tenement yard
[01:00.50]Too much watchie watchie watchie
[01:01.73]Too much su-su su-su-su
[01:03.30]Them chatty chatty chatty
[01:05.00]Them su-su su-su-su
[01:07.20]Its influenced a lot of what we do
[01:09.30]Like our whole genre is birthed out of
[01:12.30]Traditions out of reggae number one,
[01:14.30]Its the essence of us
[01:16.00]Borrowing from our ancestors
[01:17.67]But re-creating it and re-presenting it
[01:20.23]Its like that's who we are
[01:21.73]That's what we come from
[01:23.73]We are vessels right?
[01:26.10]We're whistles, the wind go through us
[01:28.30]We make the noise
[01:31.13]Fuck all this pretty shawn carter shit, nigga hov
[01:35.17]Shawn was on that gospel shit
[01:37.17]I was on the total fucking opposite (shit)
[01:40.13]Stuff a million dollars in a sock drawer
[01:43.07]Thats a war chest in case you need your chest knocked off
[01:48.30]Y'all be talking crazy under them ig pictures
[01:51.07]So when you get to hell you tell em blanco sent ya
[01:53.73]I can't take no threats, I got a set of twins
[01:56.63]Those were just some words you'll never hear again
[01:59.27]For the final time you don't believe these fools
[02:02.30]I never seen a worker rock so many jewels (never)
[02:05.30]I never seen a runner with so many cars (ever)
[02:08.17]Y'all couldn't stop me,
[02:09.37]You're not as tough as you say you are

[02:14.20]Just set the price on niggas and live your life my niggas
[02:17.33]Once upon a time in the projects
[02:20.23]Once upon a time in the projects
[02:24.20]The way the community is built
[02:25.37]If you notice how the room we all surround
[02:28.57]A court yard setting
[02:30.13]And that court yard setting would be
[02:31.67]Where a lot of the music was made
[02:37.27]All of those things kinda encourage the environment
[02:40.73]Of learning you know music and al that stuff
[02:44.03]I was in fighting mode, oh now it's fuck me mi hijo
[02:46.73]I was moving them kilos help you move your peoples

[03:33.70]And audition and what not
[03:35.07]To try to get inside the doors,
[03:36.30]You know what I mean?
[03:37.50]And I'm sure a lot of them were turned away.
[03:38.53]So first eventually actually have
[03:40.67]Ownership of this place is great.
[03:45.20]Lots of violence in our king's town 6.
