Illy/M-phazes - Wonderwall (w/ additional prod. by 10Aciouss)

we came such a long way//
old school built a flame from a flicker//
stood back to claim younguns left the framework in cinders//
i get it but to me theres a difference between us doing it different and abusing tradition//
saw generations shift, rebuilt it and we thought//
gotta be about more than appealing to the core//
couple tall poppies broke glass ceilings for us all//
mine was high profile some don't feel me anymore, well//
i still love it, and you can find me at the gigs that theyr brushing//
their words say they down for the scene, their act doesnt//
the loudmouths always got by keeping stubborn//
cant tell me nothing//
i look at em like, where the fuck did the pride go//
wer the result of their rise, but, we did in spite of//
years trying to open ears and minds//
till young mcs gave up and left the scene behind, its like//

we came such a long way//
winding roads, bright lights in the lost days, train trips, bong haze, right in the wrong lane//
and theres so much id like to but don't know how, so i wont say, high octane//
beginning our tour//
its cool getting paid, but its always been about more//
been about dreams hope y'all living out yours//
realised mine by spitting out my inner thoughts//
and i would never take back, or refute, or retract//
any statement or act, mate, told you the facts//
i never turned my back or changed my tact chasing a fanbase, you can go and hold me to that//
probably sound scorned when i talk about the scene//
only brought it up cause it was once important to me//
but it aint what it was, let it be what it be//
and well keep moving on, where it ends we'll see, cause//
