As I visit my composition
Could it be in collision with my vision
Isn't it an image risen, living within what I've written?
This is far from a given, my cognition is incisioned -
Printed into bits, imprisoned, wishing for one listen
But this initial hit isn't sufficient
Need additional distance that I didn't know existed
This enrichment is bliss, this position just fits
I break it down like fission, digital visual fix
Got my mortar and bricks, stick it together like fusion
Self-teach technique just to better my music
Study each critique, it's an endeavor for few
But once you reach the peak, it's an incredible view
That's why I keep it original, always try something new
Like each individual should be striving to do
I know you flow with what I felt, to find what is true
Don't let no one but myself define what I do
To all the shame that I've left to die
And all the pain that has said goodbye
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame myself (I got so many questions)
To all the shame that I've left behind
And all the pain that was kept inside
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame, I was taught to blame myself
Married to this music but it's hard to be in love with
Y'all can't see enough, but a part of me is suffering
One thing's clear, life's taught to me it's rough
And between the lines, you see the prize is all of the above
Sometimes I fantasize back to the golden days
I wanna to atomize acts that just flow the same
That's why I anesthize tracks like I'm novacaine
I gotta sanitize rap 'fore I go insane
Some MC's is just afraid someone'll take their honor
But what I see is such a waste of an amazing genre
Rotting in untapped potential and broken promises
So every time I grab the pencil, it's no persona, no facade
Don't gotta explain I ain't faking, no mistaking, no doubt
The only way I know how to float away on those clouds
Is focus pain to flow out and hope the rain just pours down
Those the days I'm so proud
To all the shame that I've left to die
And all the pain that has said goodbye
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame myself (I got so many questions)
To all the shame that I've left behind
And all the pain that was kept inside
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame, I was taught to blame myself
Passion in my lyrics what forced me to the minority
Born to be the authority, forwarding the majority
But why's the sword for me? Always asking why
Til' I stopped and explored to see it all passing by
All the tracks that I questioned about depression have been
Answered back with a passion, and then instead of asking
Why I'm facing this chained in the cellar, break the pavement
I embrace that I'm jaded, I celebrate the pain meant
For me, I step with it exceptionally
Perspective respected it effectively
I molded new potential from my oldest enemy
And that opened memories and thoughts I thought I'd never see
So no more distractions in my hand
Heading through that desert, but with traction in the sand
And even if my talk is off, my actions understand
Thank God for this fraction of his plan
To all the shame that I've left to die
And all the pain that has said goodbye
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame myself (I got so many questions)
To all the shame that I've left behind
And all the pain that was kept inside
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame, I was taught to blame myself
To all the shame that I've left to die
And all the pain that has said goodbye
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame myself (I got so many questions)
To all the shame that I've left behind
And all the pain that was kept inside
It's all the same, cuz it's all in vain
I was taught to blame, I was taught to blame myself
