Sorry if I lie But lemme tell you a story of a guy Before he would apply His love 4 rap; the inferior and high. The only guy in Benoni High With a vision real enough to bring insight To a pupil's foney eye. During break he was sure to take An interest in real rap In the difference between pure and fake From a guy who never knew what rap was To a rapper generating crazy hype and mad buzz Haters; they may be mad but their ladies' glad That Aby Fab is their baby's dad Satan, evil, hell, wicked and hate is bad School of hard knocks - distinctions as a Davey grad Nobody in this world can reveal and explain How from Abraham to Aby Fab he had to deal with the pain Feeling the strain but persevere thru passion & pleasure He has for rap that's more precious than national treasure. Everyday He went to Benoni from Daveyton Schooling himself Dropping knowledge not knowing that the way he went Would lead to his destiny as 1 of the best MC's Greatest rappers spilling illness sicker than STD's Back to school after class At syphers spitting verses More foul than an old man passing gas Had dreams that would take away your breath Like an asthma attack Type of vision high def enough to cause your plasma to crack Abraham to Aby Fab Beast from the East That's wild like a demon exorcize released by a priest Daveyton's Prince of poetry King of Royalty who's fuel of rap is more important than petrol or oil be Got respect 4 everything he's been through since The world can't escape the impact of his influence So with the help of the lyrics I rap in this small rhyme Please help me to welcome the greatest Rapper of all time AbyFab!

about

Fresh outta the 'Cashtime Life' Camp, 'fab futur3,' who was then known as 'aby fab,' worked on a project that would define his entire solo music career. Originally, he had named it 'I'm Me,' till his then girlfriend, advised him to give it a deeper meaning, by abbreviating the title to I.M.E - In My Element... Which he then did.

Enjoy!!!
