Intro (Back to Basics)

And so to God I pray that He will give me strength
To those before me who laid it down and paved the way
I�m ready now to face it
That�s how music should sound

There never will be another, Christina Aguilera
The jazz makers and the ground-breakers
I wanna understand
I've waited for some time to get inside the minds
What made the, the soul singers and the blues figures

Of every legend I�ve ever wanted to stand beside
So here I stand today in tribute I do pay
They gave so much of themselves in dedication

I�m going back to basics
So here I stand today in tribute I do pay

To where it all began
And that inspired a higher generation
It�s like an endless ride, feeling the lows and highs
Of every lyric and melody, every single rhyme
To carry forward the gift of song in His good faith, in His good faith
