lyrics

Damn, what a ride, from all the way down there, to up here, and I’m not going back, no, no I’m not going back, my thanks to those who know, this is my life, now go and live yours,

Heeeee, what are you waiting for, life’s right out that door, look up to the sky, now close your eyes, feel that you’re a part of life,

Almost like a reflex, reminisces about my past, with my pen and pad describing my path, from the past to the present, made every second present in these past few letters, in every letter, letter by letter, just follow the letters, and trace’em back, you’ll see what I mean it appears, it all has the same kind of origin and so it seems, that I’m not moving forward despite the use of all these words; but in reality, it helped me to clean up the dirt, it helped me to put out the trash homie, the past is past, feels like I’m standing at the crossroads, I’m not going back, I’ve felt a wreck but kept moving on, from Past to Present Tense, The Break Of Dawn, kept holding on, was growing strong, but I felt alone, nobody knew what was going on, nothing to see, wrote all my shit down on paper, later spit on CD, the peek into my soul, meant for friends and closest family, so try to see what it meant to me, yeah writing was some kind of remedy, the enemy of a part of me, the end of me, never thought I’d be, famous for the drive in me, I’m feeling free, a brand new me, ready? Yeah you’ll better be cause my being has new meaning, and I don’t stop for any other being, show you the meaning of determination, you’re facing extermination, cause I’ve been patiently waiting for the day that I could beat Satan, so when you’re down there fighting with Satan, tell him I said hi, and that we will meet each other again, till then I’m flying high,

Heeeee, what are you waiting for, life’s right out that door, look up to the sky, now close your eyes, feel that you’re a part of life,

I’m at the top of my game, feels like I’m invincible, understandable, give me a paper and pencil and I’ll assemble the essential and spit it on this instrumental, I’m influential, my influence is undeniable, you can feel the tension when I make your world tremble, dare to call yourself an animal? I’m an intellectual who reads you like a manual, eats you like a cannibal, like fire and water homie, we’re fucking incomparable, while I’m incredible, you’re expandable, so let us make an end of all the bitchen and the bullshit and make time for “Oh shit, oh shit, did you hear that shit? While it seems he doesn’t even has to try to spit”, while I’m on that try-to-spit, you’re on that try-me-bitch, yeah homie, I know it’s strange, but this is it, final verse, mask off, 3, 2, 1, blast off, I’ve shed the past off, but still I am the past y’all, listen to the Break of Dawn, that’s the place we’re coming from, never thought to see the sun, but no I’m ready, moving on, left the past in the present, I was lucky, rap a present, now you listen to my letters, know that everyday is a present, I wasn’t present when my mother released her last breath, but she was present every second making this record, the effort that I put in, am I getting under your skin, the hate that I’ve felt for my kin is no longer within, I’m in a different state of mind, pain heals, words to the wise, don’t believe? My life is the proof, analyse, no need for lies, look into my eyes and see the ice melted by fire, felt it but denied it for too long, I’m moving on,

Damn, looking back I wanted to wreck the wreck before it’s too late, with the help of hiphop I was peacefully at war, always praying, hoping, that one day there would be peace, well, I found peace, and no, this ain’t just music, just put’em up, I’m living proof,

Heeeee, what are you waiting for, life’s right out that door, look up to the sky, now close your eyes, feel that you’re a part of life.
