    "Connection"

    Don't have a mic or any musical equipment
    No drums, no guitars , not even a guitar pick
    This is about as far as I'm gonna get
    Sitting right here, writing rhymes like this
    Not sure I have the right to call myself an emcee
    Just because my lines rhyme doesn't mean it all goes together perfectly
    I don't have the talent or the time to make this a career
    I'm just writing and rhyming about the life that I'm livin
    And I'm just waiting and hoping that all y'all hear me
    I'm not really a fan of rap, cause I just can't dig it
    Most of the rap I've heard is pure shit
    I don't want to hear about how they all got gold teeth
    Rolling on 20 inch dubs and gettin all the honeys
    Takes more than that to impress me

    I'd like to do something with these lines I write
    People keep telling me they all sound sorta tight
    But I'm not the sort of guy to get an inflated ego
    I know that what I write is alright but it's not excellent so
    I keep challenging myself to write better
    All the words and the letters, keep them together
    Form them into something that just might take your breath away
    But like I said I'm no Mike Shinoda
    And Tupac in his grave is probably flopping over
    But I'm doing this cause it's what I like to do
    I write these songs for me and I write them for you
    Cause I know that what I write about people can relate to
    And I know I'm no different than the rest of you

    Can someone hear me? I'm calling out to you
    Is anybody listening? I'm talking to you
    All my thoughts and what I feel
    Turn into words in front of me
    And I'm doing what I like to do
    I just hope that I'm connecting to someone

    Reaching out lyrically hoping that just one person
    Likes what they read and can connect to me
    Like I said before I'm a normal guy
    I can rhyme words together but that don't make me fly
    And phat and all that other crap
    Don't wanna get famous, just want some feedback
    I need that, cause I wanna know if you like what I write
    And if you didn't don't bash or trash or flame away
    Tell me what's wrong and I'll try again another day
    But most of the time I write about feelings
    Happiness, sadness, relief or rage
    It all comes from inside, all from the same place
    The human brain is a complex thing
    String along words so they can connect to the next sound
    Got the beat down, go to town with the words now

    Can someone hear me? I'm calling out to you
    Is anybody listening? I'm talking to you
    All my thoughts and what I feel
    Turn into words in front of me
    And I'm doing what I like to do
    I just hope that I'm connecting to someone
