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
