[Intro Sample]
"Only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I'm so mean I make medicine sick
The man who beat me hasn't been born yet."
[Verse 1]:
Wish I had the backbone of Ali
Instead I'm bending backwards just so I'll be
Accepted by skeptics connected in my surroundings
Instead of being neglected or rejected from beings that Collectively seize respect from drowning
Others in deeper waters
Drowning in my own thoughts and
Surrounded by nothing but cowards Caught in, waves instead of making them
Left with the god forsaken pen
Mistaken, taken aback by the endless mass of complacent men
Or maybe instead of cowards I'm surrounded by mirrors
Maybe I'm dramatizing my reality so that I can feel a
Bit sorry for myself
Hoping that I can appear a
Person yearning for help
Just wanting others to come nearer
Worsening habit of seeking attention
Forfeiting battle against a deceitful penchant
Feeble means of expression
We couldve mentioned the
Dreams of ascension
See, maybe things are better off than I seem to understand
Maybe I waste too much time dreaming of some other land
A wonder land
That doesn't exist
Set sail for the seven seas
With no avail, searching for a place more heavenly, amidst
My preoccupied imagination
Mind unravels as I lie inside my basement
Unearned victory is what I'm tasting
I cannot travel, im missing my passport
So instead of travel I time travel and fast forward
To a different distance future
Listening to something you not used to
Use the, music to lose it, half past two in the afternoon couldn't come any sooner
[hook]
Trying to find a lifeboat and
I know I might go just
Lay in the sea for a while
For a while
[Verse 2]:
Wish I had the backbone of Ali
Mine sure is quivering, failure to deliver has, got me
In a state of paralysis, inanimate as a mannequin, panicking, its a mishap as I'm babbling tryna handle it
Probably
This happened in a split second, a passing moment, that no one else know of, but my memory won't let go of
It, so dependent, on other people approval, when I'm my biggest critic, but I don't know what else to do when
I am losing control
Am i thinking too deeply?
Why I can't I let this go?
Does no one else wanna see me? The
Pitiful insecure
Kid making mountains so easy
But only out of mole
Hills, spill truth till it leaves me
Left with questions to contemplate
Surely the rest of y'all can say
"I have bigger problems on plate"
I contest? I should walk in shame
Why am I so focused on my own tribulations?
When everyone has their own set trials that they're facing
I
[hook]
Trying to find a lifeboat and
I know I might go just
Lay in the sea for a while
For a while
Something that I gotta do
Something that I gotta do
Something that I gotta do
But everybody telling me like homie you got lots to prove
[Interlude Sample]:
Why did we go to the moon? Because it's there
Why are we trying to go to Mars? Because it's there
Columbus wouldn't have discovered America if he didn't take a risk
So he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life
I'm a risk taker
And that four time championship [that] is there, I'm the only man that got that close to it
It's something I gotta do
Something that I gotta do
Something that I gotta do
Something that I gotta do
But everybody telling me like homie you got lots to prove
Something that I gotta do
Something that I gotta do
Something that I gotta do
But everybody telling me like homie you got lots to prove
(Talk and talk and talk and talk...[humming])
[Verse 3]:
I will find the way to
Recognize my blessing instead of playing victim
Centralize the vision by flowing with the rhythm
I know its in the written wisdom
Find soul within the twisted system
'Casso depicted self division
I flow a little different river
Just like a Girl Before a Mirror
I know I shiver
I know I shimmer
Full dawn or moonlight
Cold water figure
Is my reflection on these seven seas
Fine connection drawn in these different kinds of melodies
I don't care if you looking for punch lines
I don't give a damn if you do not understand what I lay down on the front line
Cause sometimes, in conversation I cannot articulate
But giving a little bit a time with my rhymes and I can begin to find my way to mitigate
The stitches sealing my lips
Sailing ship giving me the current to indicate, even innovate, hell even obtain brain food on a dinner plate
Never been afraid
Watch as I pen my fate
My eyes say it all?
Rip the tongue out of my iris
Be happy with who you are
Then worry about who admires us
I'll just, swim in the pool of thought
Been to these newer waters
Bucketful or by drop
Ship will never sink as I garner
The energy to set me free there better be
No compromising
This is me relieving stress, just to see, my mighty trident
No apologizing
As I am, sailing the seven seas, a reverie turned remedy, reaching for farther horizons
[drowning noises]
