Verse 1 I stand tall ‘cause I’m on the shoulders of giants Stand alone like a calm soul in a riot Studying the ways of the bold & defiant Who never chose to be silent Played the role of a lion Feeding those totally reliant On their wealth of wit instead of gold or some diamonds In a world known to be cold and it’s violent I’m marching with Martin overthrowing tyrants Music up loud ‘til it’s roarin’ like sirens Now they say my music is known for inspiring Maybe that Jun’s with me and the spirit of Miles and Marley Or Parker’s lyrical style that haunts me Plus I’m studying Nas, Com & Jill So I can make music it’s hard not to feel Like Stevie No wonder we call that the real. Believe me. I’m as strong as foundation built Beneath me Hook If I have reached, What seems to be the highest peak (It was on your shoulders) Though I was weak You showed just how far I could see (And the journey’s not over) Verse2: Me alone these accolades ain’t meant for The man that I am is largely due to my mentors I try to do what I was sent for A long list of people should be sharing this splendor. Raise them Glasses if you help raise him, amazing. Ask this if Jun didn’t praise him would you play them “Classics” or would you just label him average I ain’t one to debate with my maker what the path is I just thank him for the opportunity And for folks like J Dilla who influenced me More than musically he did it thru his illness Still inspired to create though he was real sick Thanked his momma when I met her man, that’s real shit You ain’t worthy of respect if you don’t feel this To my giants/heros God bless I’ll carry the torch while carrying who got next Hook

about

This is my new single, "Shoulders of Giants" featuring Substantial and Stephy the Sapphic Songstress.

I'm inspired by those who have pushed and motivated me to be a better person and I stand on their shoulders. (Isaiah 41:10).

Thanks to Substantial and Steph the Sapphic Songstress for lifting up the track with their talent. Such a blessing for me to work with you.

Hope you enjoy the song.

살면서 감사할게 정말 많네요, 어려움속에도 "인생의 거인들"로 살아가는 사람들에게 이노래를 바칩니다. (Isaiah 41:10)
