Here and Now

I was born son of Cameron brother of Brendon Been through so much shit I don't know how I'm still standin I come from a place that's cold and dark Where brothers gotta dodge bullets just to make their mark Yo I grew up in the eighties around domestic violence But my family was proud so we kept it silent The ladies in my fam held it all together And I was introduced to rap despite the stormy weather I remember listenin to Kool Moe Dee I kicked his verses like that shit straight belonged to me I used to loungin in my room bumpin Raising Hell Wishing I could be like KRS-One or LL All the honeys gassed me up and made my ego swell Cause I was doin it, and doin it, and doin it well I was only sixteen terrorising the stage They used to call me Stud B cause I was big for my age I was rhymin bout my skills and my sexual clout When I barely even knew what I was talkin about Straight tellin all my peoples when my album was droppin Every time the day came there was nuttin to be coppin But still I rock show after show and never stop It was obvious that my career will be in hip-hop And the reason that I'm here holdin down the fort Is cause my people always gave their never ending support The time is now, the place is here Hip-hop's making a turn for the better this year The place is here, the time is now Akrobatik finally made it to ya'll some how One day when I was seventeen I seen this honey round my way The way her hips and her ass look bright in my day My main objective then was to get her butt naked I wrote a song about it, put it on my first record Woman, back with Ruff Enuff and The Fat Shit These joints put me on the underground mad quick I only wish that grandma was there to see it I'm the man now and she always told me I would be it Now I'm goin outta town wreckin facilities Blowin up with Lif on Inhuman Capabilities Tryin to show these suckas just what lyrical perfection is So we formed the powerful crew called The Perceptionists Got the whole world steady waitin on the album Now in 2003 you'll see the outcome You know by now that I'm here to make a difference Here's a sneak pick at the life of Jared Bridgeman I'm givin shouts to those who showed love Almost drownin theirself just to keep my head above That's why to ya'll I'm forever in day You all know who you are and I'll never forget it The time is now, the place is here Hip-hop's making a turn for the better this year The place is here, the time is now Akrobatik finally made it to ya'll some how Yeah, the time is now, the place is here Hip-hop's taking a turn for the better this year Yo, the place is here, the time is now Akrobatik finally made it to ya'll some how
