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 ***
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

Lyrics by Substantial

VERSE 1 
When I was little I had plenty of dreams 
But football & art stayed at the top it seemed 
The peak before I reached mine still doubt I have yet 
Studied greats, took notes like I’m stealing tablets 
Placid. Hadn’t a clue of why I was here 
Long as fun exceeded the total amount of my tears 
Years pass and peers flag my dreams with jeers 
And soon my vulnerable mind appeared to be drowning in fears 
Plus I was broken up physically 
But what really stopped me was they got to me mentally 
To be or not to be is my quandary, picture me 
Smoking opposition like Barbeque, Hickory 
Flawless victory what would you have done 
Should’ve been a track star all I could do is run 
Done playing on the field but still playing the field of dreams 
But football star no longer seemed real to me 

HOOK
Real or not I want it 
And once I got it
You know I gots to flaunt it for all 
If it’s there I’m coming
Hundred miles and running
With the world on my shoulders to haul
Down a lonely road, trying to find my purpose
No telling what I’ll see
Low and behold, after all my searching 
I found out its up to me

VERSE 2 
Still ain’t sure what I’m here for 
‘Cause sports faded from the plan in my mid teens 
Though art was still apart of the scheme I’m writing rhymes, part time 
Trying to hop on the scene I won’t be ignored 
Wasn’t hard to make green creativity 
And drive made my hustling keen, couldn’t stop me 
I was just spreadin my wings, trying to live out my dreams 
Wanted to live like Akeem and King Jaffe 
Raps on point but my grade’s obscene 
Momma saying I should join the marines I mean the army 
She think no college probably want a kid like me 
I told her let them see my art and we’ll see. Shouldn’t doubt me 
Meanwhile, teachers taking me to schools to speak 
And show my work, yo these youngin’ were me but even better 
Saw I made a difference later on when they would visit 
Then join the school I attended, look, another new beginning… 
Eh ma, by the way, peep this Pratt acceptance letter 
Never say never. 

HOOK 

VERSE 3 
Now as a man, Stan managed to stand 
On my own when life was sketchy ‘cause I drew up a plan 
To combine my art and music and expand my brand 
Giving back to my students and of course the fans 
I’m sure my purpose is service 
So I see our challenges and work it out the best I can 
Below the surface, don’t do it for the vine or cam 
Fronting for a little backing never part of the plan 
So what you here for? Me? Busy chasing down these dreams 
When they close enough to see I be like “there it go” Got’cha! 
Never will I knock a-nother trying to discover 
Their path and where it leads. We travel at different speeds 
Battle until we bleed when it’s looking rather bleak 
Courage gather from deep til grasp what we seek 
Long for it like Nia but Nia is what we needed 
Some will chase it forever and may never get to see it 
(Most don’t see what I see / Most don’t hear what I hear)
