Lyrics

Contrary to popular belief
I wasn't born with a mic in my sleep
Took damn near 20 years to proceed to that point
But when I did, it was a rebirth in rhythm
Unlearning every step, every move that seemed given
Suddenly driven by a new agenda
Flashes of fire through the tender, cool surface I had built
No pun intended, but the life you had, just ended
And now there's no time for farewells
I recommend that you keep a clear focus on the now
Only jokers and the proud hopelessly bow
From the weight of what's behind them
Or turning backs to the road ahead less traveled
It's best battled face forward, and takes climbing
Upward, forward, spirit in the letter
'Cause if you fail, fail again, fail again, fail better
Never set examples you can't hope to follow
Heard a man say in tears when his hand broke the bottle
He never wanted to hold, now he a moment too old
And looking back has become a burden
Word and (gunshot sound), 'cause I'm out
'Cause I'm out
It's like that, and like this
