Verse 1
Yeah, your man’s come to demand some tantrums
Throw your hands up for the anthem
No idle sitting with a sense of entitlement it’s
Time to be living no regrets or denial and kid
I’m like, right on the cusp of just where I outta be
Musk of the crust was calling me
Out from confusion and disillusion
It had me so drooling to get to a tooth in so
I jumped to it, and just used this
Fire in my gut to bust to uproot kicks
Just doing the thing you love will bring you up
Giving you the wings to rush
Through the skies and beyond and be gone with the breeze
where it's calm and at ease where I’m wanting to be
And I palm it and squeeze when I reach for pens
Cloud kiss when I spit or when beats come in it’s why….
Chorus
You gotta feel me, yeah
Life passes while waiting stagnant
Ignite your passion and make it happen
You gotta feel me, yeah
You gotta feel me, yeah
Verse 2
Life spoken on mics open
Tight roping with knives poking my lower back
There is no going back no stepping in halves
And I'm a, get it to crack with my methods in tact
Blessed is that, individual willing to give talent
And it’s residuals to something bigger than him
As the World turns more me centric
More receptive to war, deception, keep pressing
Through the jabs those blows ain’t hurting jack
Poised to rejoice so certain that’s
Why on my grind I stay with a blind eye faith
‘Cause the prize I chase is mine I say and
No words could cover it, cloud nine hovering
No doubts, wondering, trust, I’m gonna win
Brave rain, hail, snow, sleet, thunder, wind
Punishing, running ‘til I see the sun again
Chorus
Verse 3
A smile that’ll turn glaciers to vapor
Flash it and laugh so to taper the anger
Fear and frustration hear enough hatred
It’s hard not to figure that our cheering up’s wasted
May start embracing steel brace and anklets
But, that ain’t way kid, today is what you make it
With nothing to lose and solace to gain when you’re
Stuck and confused with lot of complaints you just
Gotta move through it, I hear you kid
It is easier to speak than to do when
Sick of bearing crosses reeling from losses
Accosted at every turn feeling exhausted
But you gotta push on with more vigor
Being a forfeiter will leave you more bitter
War withers away the restraints so embrace it
figure what you’re destined to change then engage it, ok kid
Chorus
