[Bm] Beat makers want my [G] voice on their instrumentals
[Bm] Rappers makin' mixtapes, then [G] they get out of line
[Bm] Except I never seen a record [G] get through better than mine
He just keep recycling, not exciting
Nevertheless, I just put it to rest, cause Wes keeps [Bm] enticing them
And when Strobe fans wonder [G] how he's gonna flow next
[Bm] But all they gotta know [G] is that he's so fresh
Wes, [Bm] Godfather, God [G] bless, still a spark to flame
