VERSE 1
Started in Cheverly, the line was orange
On January 7th, a star was born
Stayed in Seat Pleasant ‘til mom and I moved on
To the next stop, come ride along
Left pops, moms tired of the fighting and tears
So in Landover’s where I spent my formative years
While living here I met my oldest of peers
Underprivileged yet I’m overcoming my fears
Like robberies and shootins, now we out in Suitland
Right behind my high school to focus on my schoolin’
No longer boostin, now I’m beat looping
Pre-To This Union, writing with my blue pen
Penning blue lines from Pentagon & Addison
Battle raps dumb funny like Billy Madison
Battlin, til my name spread like a pathogen
This is just the start I can feel it in my abdomen!
HOOK
All I see is lines, letters, colors
Zippin’ right by, with plenty numbers
Runnin’ thru my mind, what to make of it
It’ll make sense one day
All I see is lines, letters, colors
Zippin’ right by, with plenty numbers
limit’s the sky, ready, comin’
Take the Sub way
VERSE 2
Left Maryland, but still spittin these bars
Next stop Brooklyn, off of Clinton & Wash
New York, New York was the City of Gods
In Hip Hop, big stage. Hope they give me a part
Took the 4 Union Square, rap ciphers galore
Or the A to West 4th hoping I’m in the store
Fats Beats showed love, thought I made it for sure
Years later, All City on an NY tour… now...
HOOK
VERSE 3
Take the J to Koscuiszko to see old the crib
Or the 2 to Flatbush another place that I lived
Shot to JFK, first Tokyo trip
Bullet train’s like magic, blew my whole brain to bits
everything’s changin’ chances being taken
More time at Grand Central and Penn Station
OT. Brazen… confidence. Amazing…
Where my train of thought took me with a little training
HOOK
VERSE 4
Headed back to MD had a family to start
Now in Baltimore City couple minutes from the MARC
Spending time in DC teaching youth and rippin mics
Kill a show on U St. at Benning Road I save a life
Did the same off Southern Ave. teaching kids to rhyme & more
If I wasn’t with the youth, highly like I’m on tour
Then our brother Junior passed rocked our family to the core
Relocated to VA to hold the fam down for sure
Out in the burbs not too far Dunn Loren
Still nice with the verbs and far from done touring
Now we in Huntington and I’m maturing
Still in PG everyday ‘cause I'ma support’em
Where it all started, I’ll head home someday
Journey’s never easy but I’m making it... someway
Some tracks are curved and some straight
And not everybody will take the Sub way

Thank you!
Thank god for this brotha. He has really brought hiphop back for me. Your in my top 5 Substantial.
Honored! Thank you.
Substantial forever!
Watched an interview with him about Nujabes, and now can't stop listening to his music. So underrated! Also, damn near perfect pronunciation of Kosciuszko!
Ha! Thanks! After years of butchering it! 😆
Whoelse bumping in 2019?🔥🔥
KOOL! I will let ma friends know your music. One luv from Jeju Island.
i love it from S. Korea
Man I used to have no taste in music. Not until i found you and Nujabes. I have never had this much of an appreciation for the Hip Hop culture until now. I love your music, man. That new album is badass. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! Will do.
Catching that D.C Metro
So glad I found this!
Me too. :) Thanks!
YES!
Props from a Los Angeles Metro subway train operator, brotha.
Michael Parrish Thanks for watching fam!
I've been following your craft since the start and it's always inspiring to see how far you've come and how much you've grown into yourself.
What I love the most about your lyrics is that they tell your story and fans can relate to them. I often wished that your music would blow-up and go mainstream, because it's what hiphop needs right now... but I'm not sure if the population is ready for it yet. Still, I'm glad your music is seeping unto the media scene.
From educating the youth, to enlightening your listeners, you're the role model music needs. Thank you for pursuing your dreams through all the hardships and trajedies, it inspires us all. Stay Blessed!
Kareem Pinkston Thanks man
I'm so glad i'd got to meet you at the Otakon 2019 event at the national library. Keep that fire of yours burning.

Wish you had more subscribers man. Really lovin this and all the previous songs. You and Marcus D have come a long way!
Were you still writing autographs on few your physical copies of your albums? Don't use bandcamp or soundcloud often. Money has been short as of late. But i'm still working on buying some your music down the road.
Peace. It's all good. The more you guys continue to help me share it, the more I'll get. I'll keep providing the content, just help me spread the word. #GoTeamGo
I have autographed a few. Whenever you purchase if you request it in the message, I'll see what I can do. When you're ready, I'll be here (God willing).
Thanks
You can count on me to spread the word, for sure!
This bumps! Have to hear it on the car system!
Tony E Thanks. Absolutely!
Cuz when are you doing a show in Philly, NJ, or NYC next? Because I got to see you live! No joke, you are my favorite rapper ever since I watched Samurai Champloo.
Close to securing a show in NYC for next month. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks!

Is this the same Substantial that has a song on one of Nujabes records with Golden Boy ?
This is the same Substantial that worked with Nujabes.
YO ! Keep doing ya thing . Me and my crew think you are tight , and you got mad love in Baltimore .
@@corymoore2927 Thanks fam. I appreciate the love. Y'all should look up my song Made In Maryland.
@@SubstantialMusic oh ! I listened to that a long time ago , but I always had wondered if Master Nujabes produced it . It sounds like he did it , but I've been wrong before . Lol we are your Fan's bro , if it's old trust me we've listened to it .
Where can i purchase? Cause i can't use itunes.
Here: bit.ly/tpiapitf Track 6. Thanks for watching/listening.
you remember nujabes?
jam is dope but no shout out to nujabes?
So I guess the image of him and I together in the video doesn't count?
Substantial Lmao it was hard to see man my bad
LOL all good. Glad you dug it.
Substantial on a mission to represent u n all those who collaborated with nujabes I'm an mc myself n I personally don't think it's fair that y'all are so underrated
Thanks fam. I appreciate the support.
Marcus d is God but this beat is Lucifer he done fucked up
I take it back it's grown on me still not a big fan tho
Dope!
Dope!
Mentho Son Thanks!
