Pete Wurthy - The Return of the Wrench Lyrics

Plain as daylight I see why they counted me out
But my fans still held me down from day one
You know what, every one's a critic
But even the most belligerent fear the return of the king
So I will pick up this wrench and fix this barren landscape of a home
Been a long road, memories bestowed
18 years a emcee pouring out my soul
All throughout the years, amidst all my fears
Of giving you these classics it becomes so clear
The "u" in my name, yes y'all can claim
I do this for the fans who pledge to the same
Pledge to uplift, cuz I shoot the gift
Even though there were some times I couldn't rip
A microphone in half, not cuz I've been slack
Patience is a virtue and y'alls did not lack
Y'all believed in me, when I could not see
The legacy of emcees aspiring
My hip hop offspring are inspiring
A new generation who can do their thing
Man I'm feeling blessed, and can attest
This gift of rhyme is a worthy quest
Now I gotta lot of love for my fans, gotta whole lotta love for my fans, cuz
Y'all dig my aptitude
And if P Dub wasn't the man, by my side y'all still stand, so you know I got
So much gratitude
When push comes to shove, this Cackalack emcee rise above, you know what?
Pete bout to show and prove
With these lyrical acrobatics, I'm keepin' at it... uh yuh
Until my fame accrued
I have caught respect, and feel so in debt
If you bought a CD or listened on cassette
Y'all make me sublime, and I promise I'm
Putting you on my back to the finish line
I go, not looking back, got the feeling back
For a moment was unsure about this rap
Thought it was behind, sign of the times
Mainstreams so whack, passion had declined
Now back on the grind, look and you will find
A more mature Wurthy giving you my mind
Thanks for listening to, Mr. W
Any plots of selling out, I will eschew
Please accept my quirks, and await the perks
Another LP already in the works
Been long overdue, so I'm coming through
In 2020, more music I'll do
Now I gotta lot of love for my fans, gotta whole lotta love for my fans, cuz
Y'all dig my aptitude
And if P Dub wasn't the man, by my side y'all still stand, so you know I got
So much gratitude
When push comes to shove, this Cackalack emcee rise above, you know what?
Pete bout to show and prove
With these lyrical acrobatics, I'm keepin' at it... uh yuh
Until my fame accrued
Now I gotta lot of love for my fans, gotta whole lotta love for my fans, cuz
Y'all dig my aptitude
And if P Dub wasn't the man, by my side y'all still stand, so you know I got
So much gratitude
When push comes to shove, this Cackalack emcee rise above, you know what?
Pete bout to show and prove
With these lyrical acrobatics, I'm keepin' at it... uh yuh
Until my fame accrued
