From "Home Is Where The Art Is" 

lyrics
Yeah, I like that! Uh-huh! 
Oddisee I appreciate the recommendation. 
Lets go... yeah, yo! 

VERSE 1 
Name: Substantial, Address: Nunya! 
Baltimore resident, but people know I'm from the... 
County where the Prince is a G, it's no wonder 
That even in the dead of winter, the block is live as summer 
Where dudes got that work, but I'm ji' mo' selective 
Pass the line that is second you will find my objective 
I'm seeking a position that will further my development 
While fattening my pockets 'cause I don't rhyme for the hell of it 
You need my work experience and past employers? 
I'm down with QN5. Former U.V. Ink owner 
And I use to be with Hyde Out and the late great Nujabes 
Wherever I go my motto's "Be great do your best" 
Responsible for making sure that we stay stupid fresh 
Locally and globally while they help me get these groceries 
And keep the fam eatin', I keep the fans fiendin' 
And hit them with the potency of a professional, dope MC 
You know it's me! 

HOOK 
Can't speak for these other guys but 
You can check my resume man, I'm qualified yep 
Why would I lie bruh, (Nobody as fresh as this 
Hit man for higher, check my references!) 
Can't speak for these other guys but 
You can check my resume man, I'm certified yep 
You can put’em high up, (Nobody as fresh as this 
Hit man for higher, check my references!) 

VERSE 2 
I should be your 1st pick, long before the second interview 
3rd LP's a 4 out of 5 minimum 
Even with short pockets stood taller than Sentinel 
Drive is uncanny, not your average individual 
You'd think I graduated from the Xavier Institute 
But School of Hard Knocks is where I took my classes 
Where I got my Master of Ceremony tactics 
My Poor Righteous Teachers taught me to make only classics 
You may know me as this Educator and a Vocalist 
Who the hell you know's a Team Player and a Soloist 
Can dress to impress but I'm fly when I'm plain 
Too thorough, if I quit you would hire me again 
So fire him if he lame I've come for what's mine 
Work around the clock so I can keep up with the times 
Since elementary I flipped a dub from a dime 
While they get the pink slip I get the W-9 

HOOK 

VERSE 3 
I'm the man for the job, while these slackers do jobs for the man 
Knowing that it blows, sometimes it's involving their hands 
They are really hoes. Don't you want a person with integrity 
Setting goals, tailored for success, you can measure me 
On my accolades and my skill in the field of rhyme 
Future so bright, man, for real, leave you feeling blind 
Plottin' chart toppin while I chill and I'm killin' time 
Skills gettin' better but they still ain't as ill as mine 
Don't take my word here's some references to check up with 
You can call the Gods, UAU is who they represent 
Holla at Odd, he made the beat the I mettle wit' 
Or Tone & PackFM because my famm is extended trick 
Call my peeps Marcus D if you want that better shit 
Me & my bre-th-ren... stick together like a pair of tits 
Call Kool Herc & Busy Bee, I ain't arrogant 
But here's a quick reminder just in case it still ain't evident, yo!

HOOK (Kokayi) 
Hey, if somehow I find a way 
Just to make through today 
I will say that I'm so grateful 
If I die before the break of day 
There is nothing more to say 
But for the time we've shared, I'm so grateful 

Verse 1 (Kenn Starr) 
I re-emerge back from the ashes 
Born again back from the past tense 
Sorta like The Passion, the backlash from them back lashes 
Our future and our present and past sins wrapped in 
A sacrifice, askin' myself if I'm rappin' 
For the right reasons, scared cuz it seems if 
A lifetime dream might be just for season 
If that's the case then how am I 'sposed to leave it 
Believe that I could do this forever and a day 
But to God man forever is a day 
So I'm set up either way, 
Tryna find answers 
Yeah a nigga pray, wondering if mine answered 
Like gettin' a catscan and hopin' that they don't find cancer 
I'm hopin' that all my fans stand up 
Show me your support and tell me you still listen 
Lemme know if its cool to keep it real for a minute 
Let's build for a minute can anybody relate to 
Being in the game strugglin' to stay faithful 
Not to a lover or a significant other 
But the morals instilled when you was lil' from your mother 
But still it's a mother navigating through an industry 
Infatuated with hatin' and friends turn to enemies 
Saturated with the temptation to take a turn towards 
Chasin' the fame and admiration ain't tryna burn for it 

HOOK 

Verse 2 (Substantial) 
When my last experience has been acquired 
And I arrive at the date I will expire 
I hope I am surrounded by extraordinary folks that I admire 
And hopefully a few that I've inspired 
Nothing here is certain, except the show must end and they'll eventually close the curtain 
But will my life be worthy of an encore 
Or standing ovation, man I'm so gracious 
Even though I put in more work than job core 
Walking the line between heartfelt and hardcore 
Transforming pages into little paper Concordes 
So I can travel the sky before I live in it 
No regrets y'all if my all's what I'm giving in it 
This song ain't about what I should've did different 
Just appreciatin' each moment up to this minute 
This Kick, this Snare, this Bar 
I'm ecstatic that I've made it this far, this heart 
Could've cease to beat and I would hardly be seizing beats 
Or even see my seed or greet peeps with "Peace" 
I would rest in it, that's a definite 
And my goal's to never quit 'til I'm a resident 
Of a casket or better yet an earn 
The sun will shine forever while you burn baby burn 
Last words to my daughter would be learn baby learn 
And make your mark 
Can't break your spirit even though they might break your heart! 

HOOK
