[VERSE #1]
I feel dizzy, like I'm not sober
stumbling through life, about to fall over
as i grow older, the world grows colder
life is like a boulder, sitting on my shoulders
& over & over again, I've been told ta'
stop dreaming & grow up, that I'll never blow up
so i fold up my spirit, thinkin maybe you're right
packed away my whole life that night, i couldn't fight
but no matter how far i get, below the ground
the pit - that i lay in, will still emanate sound
cuz now, in the dark is where i find myself
& my mouth is but a spark to ignite & melt
any surrounding around me, I'm drowning HELP!
two hundred 30lb weights hang around my belt
& though i sink from the sea shelf, to the sea floor
you will feel my verbal C4, on the seashore[HOOK]
I know what I was born to do
give me to each and all of you
the good - the bad, the ugly truth
hate or love me thats up to you[VERSE #2]
its been three years since I had to pay
three years since a Tech N9ne crowd booed me off stage
but that's the consequence of being unprepared to play
so I've been hibernatin, workin-waitin for the day
to redeem myself in the eyes of a fan
I'm setting aside pride and becoming a man
i got my hoodie up - hat low, mic in my hand
ready to import support, anywhere that i can- so
understand the man i am today is still under development
I'm not a demon but I'm far away from heaven sent
tormented & bent by underlying sentiments
sucking out my endorphins, while assisting in my decent
& i resent tense moments i tend to present
as a defense covering up emotional dents
& yes i understand that some of them will mirror this
cuz its survival of the fittest & wittiest lyricist[HOOK]
I know what I was born to do
give me to each and all of you
the good - the bad, the ugly truth
hate or love me thats up to you[VERSE #3]
So if this is the beginning & this is the first inning
my fist - and my wrist - will persist, until I'm winning
you wish i wasn't grinning, while I'm killing your dreams
cuz you're pissed that I'm excelling while rebelling your team
but - this ain't about you, this about me
this is my life that i record onto CD
i freely speak over beats, & I
breathe deeply as i rise to my feet
i accept the challenge, I'm ignoring defeat
because the only one to beat in this game is me
& all the people tryna hinder me, i don't see
because a scared little quitter, i will not be
i will not cease, i will not flee
i will not rap, i will emcee
i will not lose, i won't avert
i welcome you, to my flow rebirth[HOOK]
I know what I was born to do
give me to each and all of you
the good - the bad, the ugly truth
hate or love me thats up to you
