Follow the Art

Cheers, to the days I was lost in my ways Sitting in the cold, a frosty gaze The mental maze, using praise to break the mold I'm confident and bold The one that she loves to hold A fire on the nights, when she is cold I've been the man, teaching the clan Cause I never ran Hot like a pan, with the flow of a fan Words of the wind, I guess I sinned Don't pretend to be my friend I'll ride to the end Like the lines I've penned Writings on the wall She's seen em all Standing tall, I survived the fall I'm an ace in every place Like I need some space Move with grace, set the pace Won the race, I'm the first 48 That's a cold case, like a box in the freezer I am not a people please, this is just a teaser Scenes flashing fast, may cause a seizure Forgive and forget, like I have amnesia Chopped like a Caesar Pull the knife from my back But, I'll never stab em back Like, what is payback, I don't play that This is not a rat trap, you can have that All about my hot cakes, like a flapjack All I do is count stacks Playing the game if you know what I mean Life is dream, I'm just standing in the steam Carrying the team with a stream of intelligence I'm one with the elements With a beam on developments You cannot compare mice to elephants I learned the greatest lessons, feeling low The pain lessens As I come to understand what I know Rough waters taught me, When to rest and when to row When to come and when to go How to lead and how to follow I used to wallow in my sorrow That's a hard pill to swallow Making peace with the past The pain couldn't last Faced my demons, walking fast Follow the art Writing the scenes, and playing the part, huh I will never fall apart When the pages turn, they burn Setting fire to the strings that tie us to things
