The skill of an artist.

He doesn't need his name up in lights,
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic.
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone,
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him.
But fuck 'em, he knows the code.
It's not about the salary,
It's all about reality and making some noise.
Makin' the story - makin sure his clique stays up.
