Strokes (feat. Archie Sundance)

I dreamed about Just rockin' the stage Using other people's words Now it seems Fait accompli Has taken over my nerves And that was it Writin' song after song I'm accomplishin' To create my own bangers My own hits Tryna prove like my poetry I can spit Uhh, time to occupy That space 'tween ya ears been compromised Now I wouldn't lie I would just disguise My truth in order for you not to despise My rise Cause we all know Chaos can hypnotize Long as the payoff can crystallize I'll invoke the pathos to aggrandize My rise in time they'll be playin' me While groups rise and die blamin' e Goes to show they weren't meant to be I cut myself down from the tree Then stepped over bodies of broken dreams Uhh, but it always seems I'm still another cog in the damn machine That's damaging To my self-esteem I guess I should stop nothin' to achieve Here Hey Don't leave yet I'm still here I promise I'll make what you wanna hear This music thing I'm diving deep into So for your faith, here's what I'm gona do I will not stop my clock When the glock comes to knock I will block as it cocks But the shock spills Medoc On my face and my socks Cause you thought you a hawk More a vulture no squawk I didn't mean to go ornithological Just sayin' that your myth's comical It's easy to rhyme, quite logical Did you know I'm a cosmological Being I see you agreeing Keep noddin' ya head to the scripts that's beatin' Against ya ears as ya start to bleed That ignorance out, so here's a treat Whether the planets align Or the stars compete In a binary system, well visually speaking My point is these Astronomical feats Are birthed from the essence that created me See But I ain't done Rhymes bouncin' off my tongue shootin' faster than guns Hit ya with a force of 100 trillion suns What I see 11 oh ways I've won I begun to blow ya mind But just last week I had a parking fine I tried to pay in lent and tip with rhymes But they said they can't exchange at this time Was my card denied I learned to thrive Playin' Russian Roulette with plastic dimes Got higher stakes than Stabscotch with knives If I'm on a date and the bill is mine Or else I'll leave that girl behind Ain't got no shame s'how I survive I'll change my name then reassign To any location that springs to mind My exile brought me a sense of clarity I found my art will always be there for me The pen's my friend and gives me free therapy The end results will be New World currency Don't leave yet Don't leave yet I'm still here I'm still here I promise I'm makin' what you need to hear Need to hear This singin' thing won't make it habit I just want to see if I could make it happen Make it happen If I could make it happen Make it happen
