a Mark (remix)Verse 1 (Cadence):
Now may I make a mark
(Man you don't need permission)
I'll strike a new direction
but continue with the mission
had to drop a line about the mark
'cause we made it
and when the track was final
vinyl was re-animated
had to edit what I said it was the only way to play it
I'm hard pressed to find a better way to try to say it
I restate
The remix hits
It's inspirational
It's hard to make marks
The industry is invitational
But I'm not discouraged by the fact I wasn't seeded
If I needed the approval selling out would supersede
me making such sound moves
easily moving through any obstacle course
and I achieve whenever possible
Force my way through doors if it makes a first impression
You never get a second chance
and this is my profession
Studio sessions are long
Songs devoid of a hitch
I use my lines to make marks
When I'm designing with Pitch
They call me Cadence
It made sense
for me to embark
on a journey turning platters
that'll be making a mark
Verse 2 (Pitch):
Yo Cade can I mark it?
(Yeah Pitch you get retarded)
Let me take you back in the days
to show you how I got started
when I sung a simple song to help you keep you're Tims tappin'
but now it's all the ends my peeps don't care who's rappin'
No dilution restitution as I mark it with the knowledge
'cause I've been making tracks
since the days when there was college
I'm religious on the mic
so just watch it while I kick it
knocking on your door like I was a Jehovah's witness
No need to play the thug I ain't the one to pack a pistol
This jam will leave a mark like a hammer and a chisel
Take it for granite
it's written in the stone
Lyrics are the temple
tracks are the tomes
with the bass and the treble
yeah that's on the scope
so look through it as I do it
'cause I know my ISH is MAD DOPE
Sustaining through the rain like Noah and the Ark
The RP Crew is Two
'Cause you know we had to leave a mark
Verse 3 (Cadence):
Back to make another mark
So you could call it re-markable
(Cad, you got another verse)
I got a pocketful
That set me apart
let me impart a bit of it
Did I begin to get off of the track?
Then let me get right back into
making rough sounds smooth
easily moving through vinyl stacks
to final mixes
That's my business
With this I'm going public in front of 'em
Confronting questions
I'm on the mark to answer every single one of 'em
So Mother may I?
Sit out the two step?
Who gets to decide if I achieve goals?
Pulled up by the bootstraps
So I can take control of my direction
Keep rolling toward the mark and I'm connecting
So I'll be getting along fine
Strong
And I'm reminded in song
And I know you'll rewind it
'cause you'll find it isn't long enough
and it could never be
it's a reverie
Don't be jaded
The mark's hit
So stop the tape deck Pitch
We made it
