You swear you've seen this scene a thousand times
You swear you've dreamed these dreams creative mind
You swear with so much ease eye On the prize
You swear so much, believe your own lies
You fall from grace so hard and remiss
Everything you learned neglect experience
You go so far with shoulder wearing a chip
But how far you really get until you Think and grow rich
I know you lie awake, dream of peace but all your demons
Keep telling you not to shut your eyes
I tried to stay awake, all my doubts and all my feelings
Kept telling me not to close my eyes
Lately baby I been thinking all about deaf
And Do I got the preference to leave this all to chance?
Still not sure what rap is I just rhyme real fast
They told me when I grow up that these things will come to pass
They didn't, and I remain a freak with a vision
Complaining on the microphones preach how I'm living
They all lined up with straight jackets waiting to pin me
Silhouetted men ten deep they on A mission
The way the time ticks enticing my mixes
Said Life is my mistress I still use crib notes
We are a new creed of rap species
Whose parents instilled integrity versatile legacies
And We are the people, we ain't average we original
Expect nothing less from professions less typical
They love it, complaints to a minimal
Writing more scripts then I seen In the cinema
Here he go again, talking that nonsense
Against all odds rising up like a resurrection
There's still So much left to learn Took a wrong turn
So perturbed always running away, Feeling the burn
Your either a lie or you in love
A hopeless romantic
Disinterested if it ain't take much to get the pants off
Tired of these jackoffs talking more then they listen
Giving a shout out to my main man static locked up in prison
I know you lie awake, dream of peace but all your demons
Keep telling you not to shut your eyes
I tried to stay awake, all my doubts and all my feelings
Kept telling me not to close my eyes
By the time you hear this record, I'm gone
I hope that in my absence you proceed to play this song
Never one to outstay my welcome, won't stay long
Home became this place Don't got the grace to get along
Help me, I need a medic, quickly I'm bleeding out
Metaphorically, gettin tipsy tend to change up the style
Vividly my adrenaline fist pumps in the crowd
Risked it all to bring forth a new sound ain't you proud?
But I know you lie awake, and dream of peace
But all your demons keep telling you not to shut your eyes
I tried to stay awake, all my doubts and all my feelings
Kept telling me not to close my eyes
You swear you've seen this scene a thousand times
You swear you've dreamed these dreams creative mind
You swear with so much ease eye On the prize
You swear so much, believe your own lies
You fall from grace so hard and remiss
Everything you learned neglect experience
You go so far with shoulder wearing a chip
But how far you really get until you Think and grow rich
