Verse 1:
I can smell success in the air, I can taste it
Stick out my tongue and I'm liking the fragrance
I like the [???] and the women that come with it
I like the speed of life it's in the rhythm
I like the [???] and the [???] to a drum beat
Writin rhymes in my room while the sun sleeps
It's in my nature, when I love it I'm obsessive
Slow perfectionist, sense of the desperate
I need to rise and exceed expectation
The dreams of a nation, the seed of my patience
You watch the birth from the cracks in the surface
At first it's [?????????]
I don't rap for the magic that can happen
I rap for the tragedy I need to put a wrap on
I wanna be there when you're closing your eyes
And the beat being played, frozen in time
And you will use it, to make the bad go away
'Cause music has a way to make things dissipate
Some people get controlled by the scripture and the tune
Well guess who's pulling all the strings on you
Chorus:
Maybe I will become one of those who will fade away
Maybe I will last till the end of the day
Maybe I will take what I think is mine
Maybe I'm a flame in my own mind
Maybe I'm a ghost on a [?(melty plate)?]
Maybe I'm just a moment too late
I can see all on the rise and now
Stop, stop, maybe it's my fault now
Verse 2:
I got the sound in the [???] slip into my fate
I see it bring to life, shift them into place
Through the problems in the way
Through the (?[stain]?) and through the waste
The next chamber of my life complete a different age
But also hear the things, the whispers in the wind
And the ghost of the [???] that won't let us begin
I've had lovers come and go
Some stay until the end of it
So who cares about the rest of it
I don't give a fuck if you think that this ink that I write with is something I use to be selfish
I'm doing this for every memory that I have
Regardless what they are, either good, either bad
They tear me up, spit me out, I already live in doubt
I've already given out every little single ounce of energy I have left in me
Trust me from this point on you can't touch me
'Cause everything I could've been has come along
Shred my dreams, you don't even figure in [???] ritalin
So here begins the imminent moment now I'm changing things
Changing the direction in which things seem to be spinnin' in
So turn around, face the front, chase the future, take a punch
Take a little more shit, *scream till you break your lungs*
'Cause when I start making sound, you know
I'm either dead or getting close
Chorus:
Maybe I will become one of those who will fade away
Maybe I will last till the end of the day
Maybe I will take what I think is mine
Maybe I'm a flame in my own mind
Maybe I'm a ghost on a [?(melty plate)?]
Maybe I'm just a moment too late
I can see all on the rise and now
Stop, stop, maybe it's my fault now
Verse 3:
I walk along, wonder where the time goes
I can only dream, but in my mind I spy those things I need
Waiting for the moment to come
I grab life by the horns and run
And you can tell me that the sun just won't shine
But I see it all the time
Maybe I'm a flame that's to go out
But I don't think so somehow
I don't think so somehow
No I don't think so somehow
Chorus:
Maybe I will become one of those who will fade away
Maybe I will last till the end of the day
Maybe I will take what I think is mine
Maybe I'm a flame in my own mind
Maybe I'm a ghost on a [?(melty plate)?]
Maybe I'm just a moment too late
I can see all on the rise and now
Stop, stop, maybe it's my fault now
