Mega Ran - The Meeting lyrics

Hello Mega Ran, I know it's a surprise
It's been a little while
What a sight for sore eyes
Before you hit the stage I
Just wanted to say congrats
Because you've cashed in on your passion and
I'm really proud of that -
Newspapers websites adorn you with awards
And I can hardly keep up man
You're always on a tour
You know, it's really awesome man
How everybody loves you
And to think you almost quit
Now look what it's come to
While most indie rappers struggle
You make it look so simple
Dope rhymes indeed but 8 bit
Instrumentals were the kicker
Remember when we polly'd it on the block
And you said you'd never change
No matter how awesome it got
Well I couldn't help but notice you
Don't talk about those moments
If I didn't know any better I'd
Think you had disowned us

I was your biggest proponent
But, you probably think I'm jealous
Cause you're too busy being a star
To kick it with the fellas
You should be out in
Ferguson speaking against injustice
But it seems you got better things
To do than to discuss it
I wouldn't be a true friend if
I didn't point it out
Used to chalk it up to youth
But, I'm just disappointed now
You said you'd come back for me
That musta been a lie
So I came to holler at you
And give a final goodbye
Nothing personal bro
I still consider you a friend
But we're way too different
So you'll never see me again

No one but me can see my face
In the shadows to the light, my saving grace
No one but me can see my face
Out the shadows to the light my saving grace

Listen, as you said it's been a
While since we last chatted
And in that period Id say
Whole lot has happened
I've been across seas
Gained a little recognition
I wish we could roll together but
You just would never listen
You were about the spitting and
Trying to make a difference
And I was too, but how was I to make a living
I watched you spend 11 months
Making the first record
Rehearsing and perfecting it hoping
To be respected
But ultimately neglected press outlets
You were starting to doubt it
I recovered the fumble and
Did something about it
8 years later I thought the
Remixes would move you
But, I was truly saddened they
Didn't meet your approval
And I apologize for not
Standing on social issues
And not blowing the whistle on
All these corrupt officials
But, I'm the escape
My music can help them get through
And if you going for good then
Im seriously gonna miss you
But, you don't understand the
Pressure and the demands
It was easy as Random it's hard as Mega Ran
And what's the joy in being the
Broke dude who kept it real
Can't change the community when you
Can't pay your bills
But, I promise to make sure they
See a piece of you
Cause you're the inspiration in every
Single piece I do
But, if this isn't pleasing you to
See me live my dreams
Then maybe we weren't quite as close
As it used to seem nah mean?

No one but me can see my face
In the shadows to the light, my saving grace
No one but me can see my face
Out the shadows to the light my saving grace
