about

Renaissance Man was made just to see if i still had it. The format is a little crazy and i was mesmerized by the beat itself. I wanted to use the whole instrumental, i didn't want to shorten it. I was able to talk about how i'm actually "Living out my Teenage dream!" while reminding my audience how far i've come.

lyrics

Uh, now Picture this, just like the paparazzi, West Medford nigga hanging out in Abu Dhabi, on the road of life, I use to dream about a Maserati, I should stick to it, like beef teriyaki. I'm dope with the pen, like a calligrapher.. Arab money in the Arabian peninsula. Feel at home, even when I am a visitor, Can't box me in, when outside of the perimeter, I want to make my mark before I leave the earth, left them in the dark, if they're afraid to leave our home turf. I'm really living out my teenage dream, never thought I'd amount to shit, at the the ripe age of 18. The Xaverian brothers was thinking job core, I should have dropped out when I was a sophomore, I was thinking exit stage left, no encore.. I could have sold drugs in retrospect, and made a lot more. but

Niggas looking up to me, like I'm their role model, Vegas for the weekend, pink elephants from Gold bottles. Life in full throttle, believe it.. like the gospel, It's the changing of the gods, and I brought a few of my apostles. leave them in awe, when Im onstage, my nuwaves, on their minds like Murray's pomade.. Niggas high and tight like a bald fade.. I do this shit all day.. But I bet they'll dap me up in the hallway.I used to be a dreamer with my empty hands.. now I'm GSU, when it comes to bands, expeditions in exotic lands, this shit was not by accident, it was all planned. Mysterious alchemy, Lincoln st gang are the ones looking out for me. We all got our own views, this is just mine, from the balcony. Niggas quick to cross me like in Calvary.. Christ.. Uh, no disrespect to y’all, but real niggas in Paris, when we land at Charles De Gaulle.. Don't Try to keep up and play ball, find yourself robbing Peter to pay Paul..I like to stunt, I don't even have to give a reason, I'm really eating while you niggas out here Twitter feeding.. And nocturnal like a raccoon, pocket full of cream cheese, like a crab rangoon. Secrete is.. I'm always in a bad mood, but you won't like me when I'm angry. Man, relax dude. I'm nothing like the average, been a barbarian before everyone was savage, with thick skin like a callus, just a king in his palace, sipping wine from chalice.. with Cheshire Cat grin, in wonderland like Alice.

Niggas got no ID, but I found mine. Went from living off section 8 to occupying on cloud 9, and it's about time.. Cause I've been waiting my whole life. I ain't playing no games, y'all should have known it was no dice. Living life without fear, Puttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's ear, Fresh start, 40,000 feet in the air, powerbeats slapping, leaning back in my chair. Word Gin and tonic, preferably Bombay, drinking to new beginnings, starting off the wrong way. Back to the drawing board, on this road to riches, I've been ignoring bitches, digging moats, and burning bridges. Respect my wishes, I just want to get some credit, and with my work ethic, trying to surpass at my own merits, they say My dreams are silly, trying to be a famous rapper, they say I'm chasing after something I could never capture.. But Now they want to hang like strange fruit, I ain't even cool with one man in their lame group. (Fuck of here) I aint even fucking cool with one man in their lame group..

Going through my emails, sitting there thinking, I don't even like you, why connect online through LinkedIn? Paper chasing no paper trail. Man I keep to myself because I know out here yo the hate is real. Thought it was a joke when I said my name is emo, emotion run deep. Quinn essential still my ego, y'all not my equal, can't match my Machismo, ya chasing the wrong dragon, stick to motherfucking needles. Lost Soul was a pot of gold.. Man you Feel you could do better, motherfucker you are not as cold.. Think your the one? Well.. I think you gone crazy? I'm the only one, too. Around here like Tom Brady! Niggas love to rap, then act like it's all gravy. I'm not an actor, so stop acting swayze. Quinn Essential is the man & the myth, stop rapping about guns that you can't even lift.. nigga
