Lyrics

Written in my own world from my own view
Spoken like who chose you?
Minus a plus added to equal out a balance
From the fabric that I came up with, true spit
Few make it across a few slip
Life's a dice roll with mo' sixes than fourty-fifths
I wish is just a statement for a well
Sitting like the fishes at the bottom of a cell
Feeling like the taste of air's the closest view to Hell
When you seeing it from personal parallels
Well, I guess that I should tell you
A work that's worth a purpose always comes with a failure
And even though I've taken L's to make ends meet
And suffer from thin sleep
At the end of the day I remember me
Rocking like it was meant to be
And the Nike's on my feet make my cipher complete
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond" - Nas 'It Ain't Hard To Tell'
Feeling like the stars in the sky when I'm rhyming
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond"
Ain't above it all but a brother still flying
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond"
Grab the pen and the pad at the crib scribing
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond"
'Cause that's what my life is
If thought penning sharpening steel
The builds got a carpenters feel
T-squared compared to none in this field
Living life real
Fighting wars swinging a sword with no shield
What's a scar you can't feel?
Tribute to the hero's that never made the mural
Out of this world in the plurals my mirror
Few have a clue that could cue to an idea
Clearly missing the picture that's so near
Driven by the spirit you hearing it like lyrics
I'm building like lifting from sitting it right here
Positioned from a prism that pilots the skies clear
In tune to the music that I'm hearing
Aspiration preparing inspiration is in it
Tales of a man augmented
But so authentic, humbled indifferent
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond" - Nas 'It Ain't Hard To Tell'
Feeling like the stars in the sky when I'm rhyming
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond"
Ain't above it all but a brother still flying
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond"
Grab the pen and the pad at the crib scribing
"Deep like the shining sparkle like a diamond"
'Cause that's what my life is
