Breakin' out the chains, but from me, I couldn't run away

Torrent ocean, swear the industry is like a tidal wave

Had to take some time to grow, I needed time to isolate

Keep the circle close because the wolves, they tried to violate

Oh, you can't run away from your own light

Oh, you can't run away from your own light

Cause too often here nowadays do I find myself feeling stagnant

Tunnel vision, a curse, when the wall is all you imagine

Like magic, poof gone where's the passion

Search my mind for the answers, the pen and pad serves as paint for my empty canvas

Lately, I've been considering working me something regular

I guess that's just a consequence of how I'm growing up

Oh yeah, the pressure mounting up, see the clock, my time is up

Fee-fi-fo-fum, beating to my own drum

Now I'm getting weary of the storm and when will my time come

We talk about faith, we talk about hope, we talk about love

The cynic in me really question if it matters

The window always shatters at that view of the righteous

I know these **** gon' hate me, I gotta make it despite this

We taking chances, staying flat-footed with the truth I ain't no dancer

Cancelled flights, I'm grounded

Beware what you're feeding to your soul cause there's a cancer

Just because you see glimmers don't never mean it's golden

**** think it's sweet untill they realize they've been chosen

To represent the voice of people they never imagined

Cause no more going to back then your present isn't past tense

Raise a glass for the bastards

ye

Raise a glass for the bastards

Raise a glass for the bastards

Oh, you can't run away from your own light

Oh, you can't run away from your own light
