I said I'd always tell myself I'd be a rapper 
I'm getting big blunts served on a platter
I copped some jordans and a jersey to complete the look 
I started jotting down the rhymes in my notebook 

So I smoked and free-styled to get my bars up 
I tried to give myself the very best karma 
I studied Jay on the mic when I saw him live 
Well i tried but I was too damn star struck 

I bump the five foot assassin on my way to Manhattan
Memorizing Biggie lyrics rolling weed up in traffic 
Nasty Nas was the prophet, Tupac the savior 
Mob deep and Geto boys taught me how to get paper 

I get my style from the Funky Homosapaien 
Black Star, Gang Starr all of it was in my cranium
Analyzing what Shady said 
Identify my alias 
DC born but I flow like Atliens

The Radiance can shine through every word in my breath 
I never sleep 
Cuz sleep is the cousin of death 
From 95 til infinity my rhymes a threat 
We could kick it to the vibes just protect ya own neck 

And get yo own respect 
And make your pose correct
Make the record that could bring in all them infinite checks
Have a team 
Keep it lit keep it real keep it g
Speak your peace 
Speak your mind 
Look inside you can see 

I said I'd always tell myself I'd be a rapper
5 Years old that's the very first chapter
Francis M. on a tape, that I'd master
I press play, and zone out, and then after

I'm writin' a verse in the back of the class, just daydreaming
Thinking of words, as the time would just pass, I stay schemin' like
I gotta write, every night, many moons, that gave me light
Grip the mic, dreaming I might, end up on stages blinded by lights

36 Chambers, use my brain for this chess game
I use these 16s and 4 chambers with pen game
And rap on beats by Bobby Digital, whether its literal
Or metaphors, I had material for all y'all pitiful

Lyrical - the rappers in the cyphers cuz it's critical
I mean it's minimal for me to turn you all invisible
Masta Killa with the mic, liquid swords I used to write
Check the "method, man," this is the essence when I bless the mic

I saw "the light," like "common sense," I never knew a love that's like
This or similar with, feelings of filling this void or abyss
Give me some Tribe, I listen in bliss
Ms. Lauryn Hill, the top of my list
Pac was my teacher, Lauryn my preacher
Study the tapes including the features

I'm a student of the game, until I'm fluent with this, sayin'
I'm moving in this lane, I'm staying true to this - I'm layin'
These verses cuz of those that came before me, and my view
That there would truly be no Ruby but somehow I always knew...that

You see I wanna be a rapper cuz it means something 
Cuz we can make the average listener actually feel something 
Making music for the club or the youth too 
But first I gotta get a million hits on YouTube 

And next, I gotta stay plotting up my next move
And use this mic to get my mama in a crib, too
And so we pay dues, remember that we do this for the light
To bring the power in the music and the voices with the life

Aye ruby can I get the mic 
Yes you can yes you can 
I said the future looking bright 
It's in ya hands in ya hands 

Well this the method 
Yo favorite Filipinos represented 
Connected
Manila to the Bay we come correct with

Well aw shit man you know what it's like for us
These fake bummy ass rappers ain't nice as us

We light this up cuz we the type to write one up
that might put you on that life support, your mic is up

So slice em up 
Ready to make an entrance every night I pick the mic up off the floor 
Write my lyrics with my quotes 
California marijuana filling my lungs 
It's harder to make the glass than break it 
Rocky G and Ruby we the greatest

No debating, its history in the making, pave the way and
Mic check yo check the cadence, from the Bay we celebrating
All we need is one mic
To bring the truth and the light
So stop the chatter
We always knew someday we'd be a...
