[Verse 1: Cho$en]
I'm a know it all without the answers.. Chances pa**ing me by
See I can't find what matters, straight to my tablet I escape just to hide my sadness
See lately feeling all of the pressure that comes with the rapping
I blanked a canvas that's melted away the acid
That's hindered my thoughts balance
Slipping to find the traction, that's lost inside of my pa**ion
Trapped in a fatal attraction, standing while life's flashing
Over the coffin of my past while my dreams are steady gasping
Sometimes I feel like the world will never understand me
Unless I'm doing these shows, bagging hoes or even winning Grammys
That's what I'm hearing and frankly what I've been fearing
When your drive begins steering, lately my pa**ion disappearing
To the point you lose focus and the only thought is hopeless
When you fail to reach the closest quota
Role models of heavy stoners
I'm trying to live my life, on top of the holy totem
I told ya, they try to control ya when they time is over
But f** it, you either live or love it
But if I gave you a piece if mind would it turn in to something
I wish I had the answers to the questions never asked
Too busy living in the future that I forgot about my past
Too busy living on this dream when nightmares try to last
With both hands off the wheel, hoping I never crash
Just for your information I'm just here to build a nation
Became sick of the outcomes see I'm tired of all this chasing
I'm in a maze like a lab rat, trying to find my way back
Trying to re-define rap, now can you feel the mic check?
Ironic we drive whips, ironic we house cribs
While we moving forward, notice shackles they still exists
While you call your boys dawgs, ironic they wearing chains
Boys never became men cause there's a noose around his name
Just the resultants of the fathers just not taking the time and..
Skipping out on his lady cause a baby was bad timing..
[Bridge]
So tell me what you despise
In a world of broken promises that form your demise
All these curious eyes that paralyze the minds
Of the ones we hope to love as the star above align
[Verse 2: Cho$en]
See It's funny when I rhyme I feel like I'm throwing dimes
At the world expecting change back
Tell me y'all don't feel that?
Trying to bring the real
So what's real? Cause you ain't fact
You not real cause you spit raps
Just hoping the people feel that
But what if we believed in something we never seen?
But really can we believe if we picture the wrong scene?
See I saw this in a dream where, life can never be fair
Living life on one prayer, cause that's one thing we can't bare..
See imma cut you off like Edward Scissor hands
Just so you see, that with me, theres always been a plan
Walking trying to find my heart like the tin man
I'm just a robot birthed infront of a mic stand..
I start to feel my mind slipping, shadowing thoughts drifting
I developed like a Kodak, you an 8-track, trying to bust back, upon the image..
Back upon the ink spilling before my mind's diminished
Just before my time's finished
Before my fate was written
Before our sins forgiven, I was seeing on expanded ranges like light prisms
Falling deep into a system where destiny is in the prison
Where hearts ain't got no feelings but sh**, who am I kidding?
Living in a world of numbers the only rule divide and conquer
So as the tone became somber your life's work is left to wander
Though your life is based on honor you spend the time evading karma
Putting your life upon these songs instead of letting your demons ponder
Striving that's chasing dollars that's is left for us to wander
So that's what I been longing though the rain is heavy storming
Though these times I've always falling like days of a cold autumn
So I've found myself walking away from what's been calling
I'm starting to see the message I'm longing to understand
The plan, the Son of Man made it easy for me to stand
Amongst tears I've been facing the years of my mistaken
The burning feeling that's kicking that trembles through every Haitian..
Spotless mind..
