Lyrics

THEY TOLD ME I'd never be nothing! LIARS! I silenced them...
Naysayers, so their prayers mean nothing!
Only praying for my downfall... young black boy
Fighting for what's right, but I'm southpaw!
First in the ring, last one to leave,
Fishing for the truth, but I'm swimming upstream
They can't blow me off, I ain't giving up steam,
I'll air this thing out if they dare to touch me
Gungho till the smoke clear,
The headlight amongst deer, go for it, what's fear!? (Just do it)
I'm the reason they take caution, the red tape, the point past
The red, flatlining self-made gods (Ouuuu…)
They don't want a problem, I promise,
I'll paint a diorama of how to deliver karma
The God of tech call me tech-sama, no plot armor,
Harder, fly like a stealth bomber
If you love something, let it go (Let it go)
If it comes back, it's yours; if it doesn't, you'll never know...
You never know what you got till it's gone...
If you get that? Then you got it ... If you don't? It's a loss!
I never lost a good friend, nah,
‘Cause the good ones come and never go, they heavensent I swear to God!
On God I will NEVER fall...
Every now and then I look back, but I've come so far.
But ima try one time (one time)
One time (one time)
One time (one time)
Till I figure it out!
I'll use my eyes two times (two times)
Two times (two times),
Two times (two times)
 when considering routes
The evil fear my battlecry… you in the presence of a mastermind
Who's plans they can't sabotage
Who am I? (Who am I?) Who am I? (Who am I?)
EKKO, the boy who shattered time!
We don't gotta alot of time, this'll only take a minute though
On the same accord, I get it in like thee umbilical
I'm broken like syllables, but when times get critical,
I handle mine, it's so deep I ain't feel-able
So they cannot relate, they say I'm unempathetic
I'd rather do SOMETHING than do nothing and regret it.
A balance of passion and malice, I rise to the challenge
A vow, YES, no matter what the threat is.
I am not controlled by fear... though I feel it, the pressure bestowed by peers...
If I don't do it, who will?
I see red while they swimming in a sea of blue pills!
How can I save them and save me?
Can I sacrifice so much and still be the same me?
I doubt it but I'll try though...
If I don't die? I'll try again tomorrow!
If you love something, let it go (Let it go)
If it comes back, it's yours; if it doesn't, you'll never know...
You never know what you got till it's gone...
If you get that? Then you got it ... If you don't? It's a loss!
I never lost a good friend, nah,
‘Cause the good ones come and never go, they heavensent I swear to God!
On God I will NEVER fall...
Every now and then I look back, but I've come so far.
But ima try one time (one time)
One time (one time)
One time (one time)
Till I figure it out!
I'll use my eyes two times (two times)
Two times (two times),
Two times (two times)
 when considering routes
The evil fear my battlecry… you in the presence of a mastermind
Who's plans they can't sabotage
Who am I? (Who am I?) Who am I? (Who am I?)
EKKO, the boy who shattered time!
