He wrote, "23 years ago may batang taga Binangonan, walang pera, mahiyain, manipis ang boses, hiphop head pero walang pang porma, masikip ang sapatos, walang pang gimik, nakikisabay lang sa mga kakilalang may oto, madalas nakajeep, bus o pag alat naglalakad.

"Nag service crew sa Bun on the run, little ceasars, tokyo tokyo at french baker para may perang pang tulong kay Nanay at pang punta sa mga auditions pero lagi namang olat.

"Nasabihan na ng 'hanggang dyan ka lang' at 'rapper ka lang'.

"Pero kahit isang libong beses kong tinanong ang sarili ko kung kaya ko ba?

"Isang libo at isang beses kong sinagot na 'Oo kaya ko 'to'. 23 years ago may isang batang taga binangonan na nangarap."

Gloc-9 continued, "23 years after gusto ko pong mag pasalamat. MARAMING SALAMAT SA INYONG LAHAT MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT!!!"
