HOOK
Would I be safe?
Mmm...
To put myself out there,
Tell you my nightmares?
Would I be right?
Mmm...Mm
If I never make it,
You'd still be right there?
Would I be safe?
Mmm...
To go on livin' this way?
My years given away?
Would I be right?
Mmm...mm
Hangin' my heart box on Display?

VERSE
I'm not a pessimist...
I've never questioned if...
I'm destined in...
This quest I'm in...
I'm wrestlin' wit...
The pressure n...
The pleasure in...
Writing recording
the art of transporting;
And sorting my brain to tell every damn story;
It's a little distorting,
Never thought of aborting;
Until I picked up an ill received call this morning;
Warning! Me that it's been three years;
Four more til I'm 30
With no career;
Caller ID said Reality
Checkin' me
Looks as though my dream
Got the best uh me;
Tried to make time
With the wrong recipe;
So rest in peace
To the thought of this being my destiny!
Best believe!
God's always testin' me
Relentlessly;
Happy with the handful of people that
Still Invest in me;
I'm doing my best
To attract both coasts;
Without trying to show boat
N pose wit no clothes;
Should I have sagged my jeans?
show some ass crack?
Sport a snap back with a back pack,
tried to rap trap, On the last track?
Rhyme just to rhyme
Half-assed,
Tried to make you laugh at
Quack Quack! Aflac!
That's swag?! That's whack
Don't forget the
Mother fuckin'
mother fuckin'
Mother fuckin' hash tag...
(I'm not afraid of selling out,
I'm scared of caving in;
But if I gave up Fabal
Could I still be Fabian?
To Be one of the greats,
Could I be late??
Would you diss me, miss me, dismiss me,
Or...)

HOOK 2

VERSE 2
Like Peter Parker
The choice gets harder;
Do I ditch the heroics
Or stay a stoic & Martyr;
Cause I'm hungry for life
Lord knows I'm done starvin';
Carvin' out my heart when
Performin' against all these similar artists; Start it!
Gotta heat this stage
Like a solar flare
Clean you out my lane
Like I've bowled a spare;
Liftin' up the mic
Like it's Mjolnir;
Like I'm worthy
Enough to be flowin' there;
Chokin' the mic
Exposin' my life
Explodin' wit rhymes
Ownin' the night!
But where my goin',
When the show ends?
Low in, gas that I drove wit,
Guess it's back home then;
Take another stab, at a track, in the lab, like
Fuck getting noticed;
Would you blame me
For 2nd guessing my journey dude?
When the wild, fire, in my heart
Feels like it's always burning through?
I never show it, when I'm
Throwin' that hundred percentage;
Of myself To my craft
Which Got me disowned, and un-friended;
Attached to a dream
I'm merely another appendage;
I'm no apprentice
Still the wisest masters have questions;
If I fell from ascendance
Would you still be in attendance? And then it's...
