As I start my next rhyme
Put the pen to the paper’
No tellin what comes next
Through the hazy vapor
Thinking back on my education
With a nation of depressed youngsters
Mental migration
I want to weave the words that move the masses
And speak from the heart with a sharp tongue
I came apart once but I decided to pass this
Along to the people so the know what first class is
From the top to the bottom
Hot like the asphalt kickin in the sun
Now you know I got em
Cool breeze everybody smile, say cheese
Shutter speeds, half the time it’s hard to breathe
Now my heart rate’s rising
Pupils dilated, butterflies in my stomach
Yup, I made it
The same person that you thought was your friend
Might leave you high and dry
When it matters most at the end
Chorus
Now I wanderin through the dust of mars
Clouded by the pain of my old scars
I hear em say every where I go
There’s no place for you to shine your light so low
Now I wanderin through the dust of mars
Clouded by the pain of my old scars
I hear em say every where I go
There’s no place for you in this town
Verse 2
Flipped out, slipped out the back
Before I lost my wits
Aw man I’m back
This is the dream of every son
Hoping to shine, to rise, to find
That I’m the one that gets it done
The stage is set, sorta like the dinner table
I’m trying to find a way to win Kentucky Derby stables
Packin heat jackin beats with the fresh flavor
Haters heavy on my mind
But the love overpowers
Devours, the saga of the century
Must have been the fact that I got game like Lebron James
Versatile vision, envision how you living
And tell me was it really worth it?
Was it what you missin?
I’m sleeping most nights beside myself
God, tell me what it takes
To get a little help?
I bleed, I cry, I try so hard
But when it’s all said and done
Will I be lost on mars?
I don’t know…
