Kid Optimism - Goliath (Prod. Spence Mills) lyrics

[Hook - Sample from Wayward Son by Kansas] Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high [Verse 1] Feel like Goliath when catching stones due to defiance Form an alliance with gods, got it down to a science I'm pulling G's accelerating at high speeds Got that adrenaline pumping, it's difficult to breathe Illuminati want my soul and my body Nah, I don't believe that ish Why does everyone bring up this? Deep inside the pocket, I'm looking for my receivers Put the ball in my hands that run over non-believers Had a label hollering at me already I wonder if I'm ready To make the jump from unsigned to signed steady I don't know much about PEC, but I'll keep it in mind In the future it's likely that I'll get pushed to my prime My God given talent reaches new limits And I once again didn't think they would want me in minutes Perfecting my craft, the best I'll ever submit Put it on my damn life, it'll take me up to the summit [Hook] Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say [Verse 2] Born and raised with music flowing in my veins Acknowledge me as a prodigy when I hop out the cave Quitters never succeed, know that I have a need To encourage potentially gifted people to breed Breed as in the reproduction of all hopes and dreams Slamming ambition and creatvity, evil schemes To flatten their self-esteem, nit pick 'em to the extreme Anybody who rises above the hate is supreme Made the decision to stay unified with my team Don't know their reputation, it's probably not what it seems Said I'd never commit to a label I can't trust 'Cause if I sign with the devil, I'd turn out to be a bust Gliding to the finish line, bet I could do it repeatedly Surpa**ing goal after goal, story yet to be told There always is, there's one always hidden And it turns out to be the best biography ever written I love the life I'm livin'! [Hook] [Verse 3] It's monumental the way I be making history How many pages in the book? It's but a mystery One of the many to start an odyssey Possibly qualify to get certified higher up as a novelty Cause a tsunami, erupting with such force I crashed into this game with a mentality to enforce Powered up like a horse, determined to be the source Of energy needed in hip hop to be absorbed Nothing short of miraculous Triggering peace and happiness Nothing but pure confidence put up in my consciousness Talk that mad ish and I'll slide you down my esophagus Listen to my music and question your hypothesis Get to know an artist before you cause a disaster It sets me up to be remembered in the life after [Hook]
