[Verse 1]
Rising like a phoenix
From all of these ashes
Standing tall going through it all
Is my pa**ion
Living for triumph
Trying to get my way seen in the front
Staying back is chilled
But I'm sweating red hot
I am black star
Unseen to the globe
But not unknown
I show my talents
Not shown on the graph right
I'm a tangent
An educated black boy right now is almost impossible to imagine
[Chorus]
One Mic
One Stage
One Fight
Be Amazed
One Beat
Can't Be Tamed
One Light
I'm Not Afraid
One Mic
One Stage
One Fight
Be Amazed
One Beat
Can't Be Tamed
One Light
I'm Not Afraid
[Verse 2]
I'm making my way
Didn't wanna quit ever since
I had my eyes on the prize and first realized
The event of glory is a locked up story
And I'm searching for the key
The map tells me everything
Except for what the symbols mean
So I got told to STEP UP my game
So I STOMP'D THA YARD the next day
Not being mediocre runs in the family
Like a track meet
I crossed the line
1st place feels so sweet
Smiling I think I gotta cavity
So wait… green light and speeding like the midnight crew
Pa**ing street lights as fast as comets is exactly what we do
But with me, I just want my punches to bleed
And my bars to be amazing, on your taste buds
So good is what I mean
Yo a new day
I'm gonna make this great
Overtake the throne, Sorry that's my home
Going for gold, All the way, win or lose
Give you tons of clues of what I'm do
Make your best guess, and Cause its gonnna include the following rest
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Stepping out from the dark everything so bright
White, was the only thing I saw from the giving light
Look at my skin, first thought I was a mistake
I recreate my mind and started to be educated
Eyes so big, stomach even bigger, are they just dilated?
I keep on singing I finally made it, but it's all a scam
Already ran to the lane, but frozen in my tracks
Replayed like a vinyl record, you could say that again
Attended the dinner of suspense
Don't know what I'm going up against
As you can see that I'm a rookie at this
So don't be pile driving sh** at me
I already have toasted
My portrayal has already been posted as wanted dead or alive
Any given time, you should watch that
Like literary watch it on your watch like that
For when the big hand strikes at 12
Like on my face or my chest plate
Sure bones will break but just gotta make it look fake
Right then you can noticed
Forever and right now I'm always gonna be focused
[Chorus]
