I just wanna wake up and not wonder if the gift I was given is soon to be wasted
If I’m gonna get up out of these trenches and stop working my bones, I need ta view some new places
The scenery is tired, the color has dulled, the film has now aged and the credits are slow
The director yells cut, the producer was pulled, the station was changed, I resemble that show
I had my unique twist on the ubiquitous loosely fictitious list that guided a craft
Then to my surprise, the two wings collectively decided to split so it divided my staff
One side dreams, one side reality, once in a happy marriage, divorced under bad terms
Headlights bright with one direction in sight, yet stuck in reverse I still wander backwards

I wanted it, that career in music
Came a time when I feared I lose it
Greatest thing in life, captain steer that cruise ship
One-way ticket, I can’t bare the movement
It’s made me sick, my stomach turned
I am a fuckin lesson that wasn’t learned
I watch these fuckers, I’m stressin, too much concern
On How much more degradation that we must discern
The picture I’m paintin in writing is blatant
Whatever I’m makin, jus buy it and frame it
There is no replacement, I am only me
Welcome to the show, my life on for a fee
Please stick around when the credits have rolled
When I dried up my tryin, deposit my soul
In these pieces of meaningful thoughts that unfold
Never get caught up and sold

Recently I was given advice
Tryna reach a wider audience with similar minds
I’ma preach the type of honesty that gets ‘em entwined
I am speakin like it’s college for the illest in lines
Professor Overdost, got my doctorate
You feeble students wrote ya notes or is the plot too thick?
Google the rope-a-dope, I cannot stop the shit
The nest is cuckoo so I go from off the top with it
I’m a legend recently outta hidin
Was under that rock n roll, but I’ve been spyin
Can’t keep it simple no matter how hard I keep tryin
Once I start I keep climbin up to the stars to be shinin
It’s been too long, it’s been too long
I know that I deserve it all, I never did you wrong
I built up my precious heart and I calloused it
Too make it fuckin hard enough so there’s no crackin it

Now it's automatic retaliated talent
He can’t give it up, he has a sick habit
He’s been standing in the corner now he’s savage
He knew this was always the way that he would have it

No prep for when he’s back at it again
A lyrical masterpiece, rap addict in him
Influences moving fluently, laugh at the kids
That know his technique surpasses all them
A craft and style his own
Home brewed audiophile, gotta devour this zone
Mother fuckers in twilight, spaced out on their phones
No reality, sad to see how this will go
His story is definitely history in the makin
This glorified agnostic gore lover takin
The appropriate steps to reach his destination
Life’s a beach, he’s better in a dim lit basement
No dimwit, they said, the kid’s sick take him
To the clinic, change him, click click click, bang then
Steal that fuckin security blanket
That he stores in his warrior built fortress of hatred
It’s not hate that fuels
Yet confidence and love he lets safely rule
Strength and focus, he knows it’s an amazing tool
Notice he’s opened up the doors for his place to school
Stupid mother fuckas doing none of us justice
Only care to grant one of us success
Draw the curtain bring an end to this act that we’re stuck in
Out of envy, they’ll continue to fuck him

Automatic retaliated talent
He can’t give it up, he has a sick habit
He’s been standing in the corner now he’s savage
He knew this was always the way that he would have it

I guess I ran outta time or maybe not enough lives or I just wasn’t meant to play
I continued to insert those priceless coins into the slot but what I really needed was to reset the game
I’ve defeated bosses, I’ve survived eating poisons, I kinda feel like I levelled up
I’ve acquainted vast places, first place in races, so tell me why I can’t get the cup
Witnessed, in awe, the mediocre players mash the perfect pattern to go and get the big cash
And here I am learning the complex methods of a skill and I’ve adapted, still I sit last
Maybe someday I’ll walk upon that bonus round for a second chance at becoming the king
We all know that my AP is practically maxed out so be prepared for when I’m up in that ring
