Letra
So they were wondering where I've been all this time And truthfully, I've been working I've been trying to enjoy the fruits of my labor when I could But there wasn't a lot of time for that, so it was right back to work We put out an album that changed the game, way back in 2011 And it took me around the world, quite frankly and literally And it took me out of the classroom I tell this story all the time but it was literally because of Black Materia going viral I was able to quit my teaching job and start doing tours Right after that, MC Chris called me to hop on the road, I was glad to do that Next, touring with other folks doing more and morе traveling and writing And I knew, that I could nevеr ever attempt to retouch and regain and recapture the momentum and excitement of Black Materia ever again So I didn't bother We did a few remixes here and there, but it was not like we ever had to worry about an actual remake of this game happening And then, it happened Many years later, we saw announcements, we saw rumblings, we saw rumors Then we saw screenshots, then we saw videos And I knew that it was real Because it was real, I knew, the question I got asked every day Would I be going back to the center of the earth? Would we continue, would we remake, would we attempt to touch something that I thought was so personal, so dope, and so important? And I didn't know that I could do it, honestly Then, I knew I had to try at least We got together with some producers Lost of course was there, brought in DN3, K-Murdock, Rifti, RoboRob, Kazu, so many talented folks who helped out Then I went back to find all of the performers, all the rappers, all the singers that had helped me out with the first Black Materia And some of them, quite frankly didn't even make music anymore They had gotten out of the game for various reasons They had family, they had dealt with so many disappointments And they didn't want to rejoin on the adventure for whatever reason, or they just couldn't And so, we had to get a whole new team There's new performers, new characters But I knew if I had to do this, then I absolutely had to make it bigger and better than before So we went to bigger producers, bigger mixing In the beginning, I mixed this album in my closet I was in my apartment on some cracked software Doing the most with the absolute least And somehow, we made something special And I knew, that if this was really going to happen, it had to be bigger and better than before So DJ Cutman enters, agrees to do some mixing and mastering We bring in live brass, all types of instrumentation And finally, it got to the point where I knew this was going to be just as special, if not more And then, we're hit with the pandemic I'm at a point now where, can't get into the studio Can't do anything, but yet the release date creeping up One thing that's very important to me is dates So I wanted this to come out on the date, on the anniversary of the original release Wasn't able to do that We hit so many snags and started to believe and think that this just wasn't meant to be Like maybe we just weren't gonna get it done Because it had to be so perfect But then I realized, this journey has been so far from perfect for me It wasn't the story I would have written, if I was in control of the pen I come from humble beginnings in a small town Well not a small town at all, a large city called Philadelphia But in our part of town, uptown, it felt like a small town because everybody knew each other And nobody really made it out We didn't see any success in music like we saw in other parts of Philadelphia So once I finally decided to do it, I had to do it my way And I'm very excited and very happy about the way it turned out But it wasn't perfect It was no crystal stair as Langston Hughes put it So I knew, that this journey couldn't be perfect just because of the way I had been built and the people who made this had been built We've seen so much tragedy, so much loss along the way That it just pushed me and fueled me even further to let me know that this absolutely had to be done Because Final Fantasy VII is such an important part of my life And I feel like it always will be So fast forward, we're at Tokyo Game Show And I get an invite of all invites To go to Square Enix's offices Get to hang out, talk to people who created the game and are working on the new game that's about to change everything all over again So amazing Next, E3 comes around and they have a playable demo And they invite me to come in as a special guest to come and play the demo And it's unbelievable, absolutely gorgeous Better than I could have ever expected And I went back home, more motivated than ever We gathered up the troops, and I listened to beats We rewrote, restructured, repackaged Added singers, took singers off Added rappers, took rappers off And created what you are finally listening to Black Materia: The Remake I have way too many people thank But most importantly, I want to thank you, the listener Because, I don't know about you, but I've listened to this album approximately 1,000 times But my goal and my only hope is that you, the listener, makes it through this recording one time So if you're able to do that, then I know that my 1,000 listens were worthwhile So I just want to thank you for that, and continue to spread the word And until that moment comes again when we are summoned from the ground like a beast Stay safe, stay blessed, stay awesome, and keep on chasing what's important to you Because I know I will Haven't found it yet, and I don't even know if I'll know it when I find it But that's just the carrot in front of me that keeps me going And I wouldn't have it any other way So this is Mega Ran, I'm signing off of this very long outro with the age-old ending of every hip hop record I ever listened to back in the day, when they would ask Whatever happened to peace? Peace
