lyrics

INTRO
Alright I gotta do this—gotta do this in one take. God dammit. (laughs)
Uh…

VERSE
Who am I?
Identity is a tricky thing;
Waited so long to pop off
Like an old sticky ring;
Blowin up, detonated
After years of triggering;
I’m an acquired taste
So those who hate: keep bickering;
It’s been a few years
Since I’ve felt so ‘awake’;
We spend too much time dreamin’
Not enough trying to make;
Those dreams come true,
Jump through. And out the matrix sleep;
Not fatalistic but
I believe my fate is deep;
Eyes opened, some things
Will never look the same to me;
I aim to be, famously,
Known to where I’m like, “Hey! It’s me!”
Unsure how this came to be
I can set the bar now;
My family doesn’t have to
Grow apart now; my cards down
No bluffs…
I play my best hand;
Girl I can’t be your groom
But I’ll always be your best man;
Rest assured…
I will ‘rest’ no more;
There’s no pressure
Or goin’ back so I go forth;
Can’t be stopped
Hold my ground no need to be propped;
I ain’t screwin around either
so no need to be chopped;
The time’s ticking down
I don’t need to get clocked;
I’ve been blocked, forgot,
Forget mocked; Kid Rock
Said it best;
My sound may be musical suicide;
That’s where YOU decide
If Hip Hop’s savior’s crucified;
This is do or die
To be true or lie;
I’ll just be ME
Think you know? Please do remind.

BREAK 1
Yo

VERSE 2
Now I’m back for seconds
Not talkin’ about dining;
Can’t eat food cause I’m so
Hungry for more rhyming;
I cannot recall,
The last time I ate;
I’m to the point where
I can’t finish my plate;
Trade a master FEAST,
For a masterPIECE as my meal;
Need my pen and paper
Like my ‘sword’ and my ‘shield’;
How can I be calm?
When I rhyme so outrageous;
I’m never one to brag but
how could you out play this?
I’m gone with the flow
But it’s ours to keep;
You can try to catch up
But it’s like hours of sleep;
If I were to reach the stars
Will you be watchin’?
If I never outshine the sun
Will you be applaudin’?!
I’m ‘all in’ like D. Rose,
These rows, of seats filled;
My mind sees them sold
Hip Hop gets rebuilt;
Mind mixin’ like concret
But thoughts crystal clear;
The life I’ve been dyin’
Fightin’ for is still near;
My future’s like a child
I take care of my legacy;
And I don’t give no f##k
Like I’m sworn to celibacy;
This life is bigger than you
This life is bigger than me;
Instead of trying to cheat it
Just be the biggest you can 'be'.
