Intro (Back To Basics)
A very pleasant good evening ladies and gentlemenIt is now time...The one and only...There never will be another...Christina AguileraThat's how music should sound
Ohh yeahI've waited for some timeTo get inside the mindsOf every legend I've ever wanted to stand besideIt's like an endless rideFeeling the lows and highsOf every lyric and melodyEvery single rhymeSo here I stand todayIn tribute I do payTo those before me who laid it down and paved the wayAnd so to God I pray that he will give me strengthTo carry forward the gift of song in his good faithIn his good faith...
I'm going back to basicsTo where it all beganI'm ready now to face itI wanna understandWhat made the soul singersAnd the blues figuresThat inspired a higher generationThe jazz makers, and the ground breakersThey gave so much of themselves and dedication
So here I stand todayIn tribute I do payTo those before me who laid it down and paved the way
Ohhh yeahhey... ha
