NEVERTAKEOFFTHEMASK

Well tonight I let my ego win Taking a spin let me begin I got me nervous system jumping out my skin It just might happen it again Only time will tell but I keep asking when When will it happen When will it happen Surrounded by my demons and my happy passion Sometimes you gotta steer the ship and be the calming Captain But what happens when everyone's lows is the fashion So I put on the mask and yell go to hell No my soul ain't for sell May I bid you farewell They say I'm failing and falling but there's difference between hungry and starving I think about it often I think about it often While i'm louging and lofting and coughing off the weed smoke He look to me, i misspoke I know my card revoked if I ain't the same nigga As your black folks, sitting at home making jokes I locked myself in the room and let my pen stroke In the morning he's Peter Parker He has to put on a costume to become the Spider-Man And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone Superman didn't become Superman Superman was born Superman Cut the track I'll start back over again I can't be the same peers I cant be the same as them You doubted me now you listening, this can't be him He wasn't even comfortable in his own skin The line I draw between me and you becoming paper thin If we talking flows and verses I did the same as many men that came before me and then Between us things seem strange Penned up rage you still in the cage Remember me by the time we spent and not over the ages I traveled the spaces I write poems for pages you write poems from stages We in different places putting on different faces I shoot but I don't hit Man let me tell you what I don't get(yuh yuh yuh) I shoot but I don't hit Man let me tell you what I don't get
