“Letter To My Mentors” – Hit-Boy

Quotable Lyrics:

From the jump, me and Ye was on the Gemini flow

Two minds, one path where creativity grows

We coulda made another ‘N***as in Paris;’ that sh*t was heat

Stars had other plans, pulled us off beat

Coulda been a decade of classics, another Clique or two
