Make Room for Me (Spoken Word Outro)

Before I was west coast living, song write, singing I cried in my mother's basement Wondering how I could make a killing How could I take the pain endured and finally start winning So I came up with a strategy To make my dreams into my mission That's when that basement turned Into a lair for an exotic beast Every day, I would layer my ideas As if each one was concrete So I challenge you, my friend To let go of concrete thinking Because this wild path of dream-chasing Requires you to believe what can not be seen It'll make some of your friends and family label you as mad, as insane But once you block other people's unsolicited advice You'll get a taste of freedom that's never felt so sweet I thank God for the skills learned from being raised on survival Then, step into the boxing ring to beat the odds I get knocked out, rise stronger Then stand 10 toes down While thinking of the ones rooting for me back home Elevation requires tearing down Every existing human-conditioned belief To make a foundation of your own Society tries to put us in boxes But you'll slowly start to see that one of my purposes on this earth Is to break every chain to any unauthorized label they try to put on me I'm in the process of building a legacy So I am going to make noise And I am going to take up space You can either love me or hate me But how you move only shows me That my presence holds weight I stroll in the building And I tell them all to make room for me One hand has my own table And the other carries my authenticity, individuality Things they could try to mimic but can not take from me With each height, I'm turning the unreachable ceilings Into demolished floors and repeating the process Every level a different view Walking into new dimensions Of what I deem to be success I am so proud of myself for looking forward more And staring in the rearview mirror less I learned the right amount of pain and passion makes one hell of a potion The mixture of confidence and craziness makes you seize the moment I'm witnessing every locked door spontaneously fly open As I scream to the world Make room for me Madness Thank you for listening
