Kultiration Lyrics

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Luck may play a small role, but skill is what's really important

Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Having a strong determination and work ethic is crucial

Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
Success comes with hard work and sacrifice

And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
The artist has made an impact and deserves to be recognized

He doesn't need his name up in lights
The artist isn't seeking fame or recognition

He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
The artist is focused on his music and sharing it with others

He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
The artist is unique and doesn't fit in with mainstream culture

But fuck em, he knows the code
The artist is aware of what it takes to succeed and doesn't care about others' opinions

It's not about the salary
The artist isn't motivated by money

It's all about reality and making some noise
The artist is focused on creating meaningful music and reaching a wide audience

Making the story - making sure his clique stays up
The artist is committed to representing his group and their values

That means when he puts it down Tak's picking it up! Let's go!
The artist and his crew are working together to succeed and support each other

He never really talks much
The artist is quiet and lets his music do the talking

Never concerned with status but still leaving them star struck
The artist is humble but has a large impact on his fans

Humbled through opportunities given despite the fact
The artist is grateful for opportunities but recognizes that some people underestimate him

That many misjudge him because he makes a living from writing raps
People underestimate the artistic value and potential success of hip-hop

Put it together himself, now the picture connects
The artist has created his music independently and now everything is coming together

Never asking for someone's help, or to get some respect
The artist has worked hard to achieve success on his own and doesn't need anyone's approval

He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
The artist is driven and committed to his own vision and goals

And now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist
The artist's hard work and talent are coming to fruition

This is twenty percent skill
Success requires talent and skill

Eighty percent fear
Overcoming fear and doubt is crucial for success

Be a hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill
Ryu is incredibly talented and deserves recognition

Who would've thought he'd be the one to set the west in flames
Ryu has made a huge impact on the hip-hop scene

Then I heard him wreck it with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
Ryu collaborated with The Crystal Method on a successful track

Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church
Ryu released another successful track

I like bleach man, why you had the stupidest verse?
The artist is calling out others for their lack of talent

This dude is the truth, now everybody's giving him guest spots
Ryu is recognized as a talented artist and is getting offers to collaborate with other musicians

His stock's through the roof I heard he's fuckin' with S. Dot!
Ryu has achieved great success and is now working with a highly respected artist

They call him Ryu, he's sick
Ryu is incredibly talented

And he's spitting fire
Ryu's lyrics are powerful and impactful

And mike got him out the dryer he's hot
The artist was discovered by Mike and is now gaining success

Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
Ryu was discovered by Mike and joined the Fort Minor group with Tak

What a fuckin' nihilist porcupine
Ryu is unique and stands out

He's a prick, he's a cock
Ryu has a controversial persona

The type women want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot
Rappers are jealous of Ryu's success and women are attracted to him

Eight years in the making, patiently waiting to blow
The artist has been working hard for years to achieve success

Now the record with Shinoda's taking over the globe
The artist's collaboration with Shinoda is gaining global recognition

He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope
Ryu and his partner are equally talented and have a unique sound

You won't believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat
The artist has a unique and powerful voice

He knows how to work with what he's got
The artist is resourceful and makes the most of his skills

Making his way to the top
The artist is working hard to achieve success

He often gets a comment on his name
People are curious about the origin of the artist's name

People keep asking him was it given at birth
People wonder if the artist's name has a special meaning

Or does it stand for an acronym?
People wonder if the artist's name is an abbreviation

No he's living proof, got him rocking the booth
The artist's success speaks for itself and he's a talented performer

He'll get you buzzing quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
The artist's music is energizing and intense

Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
The artist and his group are highly respected in the music industry

Dedicated to what they do and give a hundred percent
The artist and his group are committed to their music and give their all

Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
The artist's motivation and work ethic are a mystery to most people

It seems like he's never got time
The artist is always working and doesn't have much free time

Because he writes every note and he writes every line
The artist is dedicated to creating every aspect of his music

And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
The artist has moments of inspiration where everything comes together

It's like a design is written in his head every time
The artist has a clear vision for his music and how it should be created

Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
The artist has a clear plan for his music before beginning to create

And those motherfuckers he runs with,
The artist's collaborators and peers

The kids that he signed?
The artist has signed other talented musicians to his label

Ridiculous, without even trying,
The artist and his team are successful without even putting in much effort

How did he do it?!
The artist's success is impressive and surprising to others
