The purpose of this song is to express how important it is to acknowledge how connected we all are. We are truly a product of each other and collectively help one another grow in a lot of different aspects in things beyond just music. No matter what it is you're doing in life we learn from those before us - we use that knowledge and combine it with our own ideas which in the grand scheme evolves and revolutionizes the way we move forward.

LYRICS:
FAMILY TREE (Prod. AK)

INTRO
Think about where all your inspiration.. Comes from is he from your generation?.. If he’s not I’m sure you probably hate it.. But ask yourself, would you have even made it..

HOOK
If it wasn’t for him.. And everybody else before him, and before him, and before him.. Cause you would never make it.. If it wasn’t for him.. And those before him, and before him, and before him..

VERSE
1
I am AK, I am not the next Em.. But everybody telling me that I’m the next him.. But understand there will never be a next Em.. You’ll prolly twist my words and say I dont respect him.. I always preach to keep it real so I’m about to now.. Em did not influence me cause I was not allowed.. To listen to em’ my parents said i was just a child.. I wondered why and i look back, and i got it now.. My young mind back then probably wasn’t ready.. To hear the shit that he talked about, they said he was too edgy.. I couldn’t listen to anything, younger me he was begging.. I couldn’t wait to hear the song about his momma’s spaghetti.. His influence on me was indirect.. Cause i was listening to Hopsin, i was obsessed.. I come to find he was the same way when it came to Em.. That’s when it hit me.. This culture’s a Family Tree and this shit affects.. The whole game from the beginning till I’m hitting old age.. Cause even after when I’m gone, kids come up with more flames.. And artists feed the industry with songs that bring em’ more rage.. Cause they just hate the fact the era of sound’s evolving.. But where would they be?


HOOK
If it wasn’t for him.. And everybody else before him, and before him, and before him.. Cause you would never make it.. If it wasn’t for him.. And those before him, and before him, and before him..


VERSE 2
Once Cole became my idol I was looking for his.. Found out Nas was the reason that he did what he did.. So i was looking up his classics tryna find all his hits, to see what spoke to Cole so i could grow even though i was a kid.. Illmatic, still classic.. I feel that shit.. Even though it dropped 5 years before the world had me.. Shit was blessing the next king of this real rap shit.. I dont hate the new generation though i love it.. Let’s make that clear, happy i got it off of my chest.. Now the truth is out.. Look, already i can see all the fans that I’m losing now.. Just because i fuck with Pump, Roddy Ricch, and lil Uzi’s sound.. If you dont like it, then dont listen.. It’s simple, I’m cruising ‘round in the civic.. Just wondering on how it’d be if they listened.. They’d see that they got it twisted and all these kids they been dissing all this time have been gifted.. I’m just minding my business.. Shit I’m blind to the situation, I plead the 5th.. The old must respect the new.. The new must respect the old.. If you a youngin’ coming up but you’ve been hating on what’s old.. Dont your homework, learn the game.. Watch the way this shits evolved.. With out the old, your biggest idol?.. You wouldn’tve ever even known..

HOOK
If it wasn’t for him.. And everybody else before him, and before him, and before him.. Cause you would never make it.. If it wasn’t for him.. And those before him, and before him, and before him..
