Verse 1
This is to all the (Deadly) Scribes/
It�s the least I could do/ I apologize/
For leavin' the crew/ but the decision's been made/
�Cause this kid has been saved/
I was sick and afraid for wisdom I prayed (Job 28:28)/
But I been healed by Christ/

I hope y'all don't think I turned my back on you/
Understand it's the hardest thing I ever had to do/
I laid in agony, prayed there had to be/
Another way than to actually say, 'I have to leave'/
It�s been four years and sixty some shows/
Spittin' fun flows and rippin' dumb foes/
I spit-up in front rows, we was known for wildin' out/
In ciphers or microphones/
We was proud to shout of course we were souped/
I knew we'd set trends �cause we were more than a group, a crew of best friends...

Verse 2
To all the bingers: I hope I didn't ruin our friendship/
We used to get woozy and chew on a 10-strip/
In a chokin' coma from the smoke aroma/
Y�all used to blow a dust bowl like Oklahoma/
Although I enjoyed the many wasted nights/
They can't compare to the Grace of Christ (Psalm 63:3)/
Now I praise Him cause He paid my price/
I was living in darkness. Now everyday is bright! (John 8:12)/
It was fun to flow and master verses/
Now I'm saved, 6 months ago I was taggin' churches/
Right when I'm leavin' the Parts of Speech/
You�re almost at the point we worked so hard to reach/
I guess your just gonna have to rock with out me/
Mic Language and Cience, you always got me rowdy/
Dos Noun, I wrote my first rhyme with you, bro/
You showed me how to spit punchlines at a show/
Verbal Tec, you taught me how to spit viciously/
I thank you for teaching me your sick delivery/
But more importantly, you all were there for me/
Always, I love for that 'cause it's a rarity.

This is a letter to my friends, I'm sorry for leavin' yall/

So if I left, it must have been important and true/

He ceased from spittin'/
I guess he's a Christian"/
