Jumping Through Hoops

The passion I protrude through this paper Makes me believe that hip hop still is my savior Alone in the dark scribbling words on a pad Took me further than any trip I ever had with my dad My mind can move measurements of matter as I channel Raw energy, sculpting visions I scribe on this panel Like a spray of an aerosol as an artist graphs a wall Or the presence on a stage as you can hear the crowd roar That applause will give you a rush, more than any addictions It keeps me hear it feeds my soul, removes affliction Witness my mind as it redefines what you may have predicted And shine light on these eyes that were blinded by a vision That the media sold the riddle was solved the devil engulfed Regurgitated into trash that we digest for some hope The fact that you're oblivious just proves how little you know Open that part of your brain you thought you had but never were told Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops Pushing limits I've got something to prove Ducking weaving see me out here making moves I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops Pushing limits I've got something to prove Ducking weaving see me out here making moves I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops It's taken a while to get up and smile lately Been through a bit starting to feel crazy I switched the tables though feeling less lazy My identity was tied to my lady If there were things I didn't do I'll never regret it And all the bad things I done I'll never forget it I let my ego get the best of me forgot my therapy But here it is I'm the only one who can better me We are masters of ourselves and masters of our own time Are we ever free only inside our own minds So we tend to live there any moment we can And when we get a win we do a victory dance There's no limit to plans just build it with your hands Make something out of nothing to prove to the man Once again that music is all you've ever been about Ask me again if I'm still rapping when you seeing me out Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops? Pushing limits I've got something to prove Ducking weaving see me out here making moves I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops? Pushing limits I've got something to prove Ducking weaving see me out here making moves I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops I see the way you stare at me Eyes full of conviction but my tattoos are my therapy This pen un-buries me With your hearts full of judgement just know you're not scaring me I'm more than my tattoos and more than my name I am more than just that other member of N-Sayne I am more than what the media portrays me as I am more than half white and more than half black I am more than what I say and more than what I do I am more than me and more than my crew I am more than the feet that fill my big boots I am more like a larger version of you But we're diverting the truth full of a world of lies and deception, And converting the youth into crime no exceptions, And we cover the deception up with more lies And show the world that no one really cares when we die Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops? Pushing limits I've got something to prove Ducking weaving see me out here making moves I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops? Pushing limits I've got something to prove Ducking weaving see me out here making moves I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops
