Knice Lyrics - Searching For Jerry Garcia - Proof

[Announcer] 

What up Detroit, 

I'd like to welcome everybody to the, 

First Annual Detroit Hip-Hop Recognition Awards. 

Secondly I'd like to thank you for coming out 

And supporting all of our events this year, 

Especially the Awards show, 

That means a lot to us. [Proof 1] 

The vision behind the Award show, 

Is to recognize our own, 

Talents, feats and accomplishments, 

Both locally and nationally. 

With the community a part of the success of people like, 

Eminem, D12, Obie Trice, Slum Village, Fat Cat, 

Sick Notes, Fat Killers, Almighty Dreadnaps, 

Raw C and Silent Riot, just to touch on a few. 

The first award we'll be presenting tonight, 

Is the Hip-Hop Recognition Award [Proof 2] 

This Award is to recognize 

The individual for outstanding support of Detroit Hip-Hop. 

When I think of that, 

One person stands out without a doubt. 

From the days of the Hip-Hop shop, 

To the days of multi-platinum record sales, 

You'll see this guy on MTV Wednesday night, 

Then you'll catch him at St.Andrews Hall Friday night hosting a battle. [Proof 3] 

He's been around the world, 

And still finds time to get back to the city. 

That being said, it's both a pleasure and an honour, 

To present the first Annual Hip-Hop Recognition Award [Purple Pills starts playing], 

To none other than my man, Big, Proof! 

[Proof 1] 

Pssh, Damn man, 

My city love me, I love my city man. 

I feel like I'm lettin' 'em down, 

I done so much, 

But don't feel like I've accomplished, nothin' at all. 

[Proof 2] 

Hip-Hop... 

I remember when me 'n' Hip-Hop first fell in love man, 

Detroit and Hip-Hop, damn, pssh. 

[Proof 3] 

Psh, eh. 'Cause I aint changin' for shit. 

I'ma always be me
