Got a calling, so I answered it
I tried ignoring it, but then I realized it was sacrilege
To not listen to the only voice that didn't seem foreign
Stay up long enough, eventually you'll see mornin'
I'm more in tune with the universes harmonies
Lately, I just speak in rhymes like this shit's a part of me
Breathing it and bleeding it, wake with it and sleep with it
Grab the pen to write, and everything just really seems to fit
How convenient, believe it cause you're seeing it
Substance that needs to be savored cause we seasoned it
I keep seeing certain topics to discuss
And if I couldn't do this, then I'd internally combust
That's the basis of the Genesis
When I sit and reminisce
All I think about is all the holes in which I didn't fix
I'm working on it though like Dilla's Donuts
Timeless is the intention, so there's really no rush
It might take a lifetime or two or three
Being overlooked and let down is nothing new to me
But I'll be here when you need it...
I used to be incredibly impatient
Until I learned that let downs stem from expectation
I'll get it when I need it...
Overthinking everything, staring blankly at the wall
If I can't have it all, I don't wanna get involved
Getting greedy... But I ain't reaching for no freebies
I'll bite the hand to prove that I ain't eating what it feeds me
It's too greasy... Deep friend instead of oven roasted
Getting salty, what they force feed is sugar coated
Let em have it, I'll happily make this magic
And when it's ready to release, I'll leave it for the masses
To attack it or tackle it til they grasp it
And if they get it, the they'll take it with em to their caskets
What's to value when the stock market crashes?
I guess guess you'll have to trace back to what exactly cash is
Dig dirt to uproot the truth that's buried
Expose the wrong skeletons and end up in a cemetery
What's the difference? We all gotta go
In order to afford to live, it shouldn't have to cost your soul
It might take a life time or two or three
Being overlooked and ignored is nothing new to me
But I'll be here when you need it...
I used to be incredible impatient
Until I learned that let downs stem from expectation
I'll get it when I need it...
You'll get it when you need it
