I'm taking a quick break from listening to tracks
sitting in the back, reminiscing of the past
sick of what I am
the way I go from happy to despondent in less than a minute and a half
I frequently visualize an image of my dad
getting crushed with bear hugs, while sitting on his lap
wishing I could pay him a visit as a man
to interrogate with every single mintute that I have
empathy is fading, this is what I lack
my integrity is dwindling and slipping through the cracks
I am twisted it's a fact, known as the pinnacle of rap
enraged when the mission is to laugh
you are currently listening to a pessimist talk
who may have to experience his death on cross
to see potential at all, essentially lost
looking to find himself again whatever the cost
Verse 2:
again in a maze that I intend to escape
but I never really do at the end of the day
yet I keep at it with every single breath that I take
keeping distance from every single friend that I've made
meant to be great, let me engage using a pen as a blade
looking to fight but eventually change
you'd be astonished, difference that a century makes
but then it's too late, you die at an incredible age
when I look into a mirror I'm staring at my enemy's face
that's a reality I'll never escape
I'm mentally drained, dealing with construction on memory lane
looking to flee from the mess that I've made
semi-afraid I've led you astray with my Determinist brain
but does it ultimately matter the direction you take?
it's a game called "life" all you need is the intention to play
and then you're dead in a grave
