[Intro] T.Y.S.O.N [beat drops, short DJ scratch ad‑lib] [Dj Scratching] “Serve the youth…" [Dj Scratching] "Pass the truth..." "Let It Go!" [Verse 1] Check the ancient blueprint written way back in the book Two nations in the womb, before the first look Word went out from Yahweh — the older serve the younger Ain’t about the rank you hold, ain’t about the hunger Ain’t age, ain’t skill, ain’t the status you’ve attained Mercy rearranges where the order’s framed Some say “I been here first — why I gotta step aside?” Pride locks the vision, makes the wisdom hide Stephen had the knowledge, knew the whole old testament line Got sent to feed the widows — that was his divine design Greatest in the kingdom is the one who serves the rest Not the loudest crown‑chaser, not the one who’s blessed best... [Chorus] Older serve the younger — pass the torch, pass the truth Stand as the elder voice, show the youth what to do Hip‑hop roots and gospel truth, hand it down to the crew Mercy arrangement — this is what we came to prove! [Verse 2] I’m the elder of the craft, walked these streets a long time Built the rhyme foundation, seen the peaks and the decline Got the gospel scripture, got the culture in my bones Now my assignment’s teaching every seed that’s fully grown They come up fresh and hungry, got the fire in their chest My job ain’t to outshine ’em — my job’s to lead ’em blessed Not to lord my seniority, not to boast my name Lift the next generation up, fan the holy flame Knew the old school codes, knew the battle of the mind Now I plant the wisdom where the next rhyme’s gonna find Don’t despise the calling when it looks like lower ground Service is the pathway where your destiny is found [Bridge] [Beat pulls back, flow sharpens] It ain’t about who’s bigger, it ain’t about who’s first It’s about who’s willing to pour out what they’ve rehearsed God shifts the order, turns the world’s rank upside‑down Elder stand as teacher — let the next generation crown! [Verse 3] So I keep on spittin’ truth, keep on passin’ the key Every young artist listen — this is what the Lord showed me Hip‑hop’s a tradition, gospel’s the core Serve the rising movement till my final door No pride in the elder seat — just a servant’s post Lay down the wisdom, let the new light host. [Chorus] Older serve the younger — pass the torch, pass the truth Stand as the elder voice, show the youth what to do Hip‑hop roots and gospel truth, hand it down to the crew Mercy arrangement — this is what we came to prove! [Outro] [beat fades, ad‑lib] Older serve the younger… Pass the truth… T.Y.S.O.N [END]
