Osmosis - No Place Like Home lyrics

[Verse 1] Not the typical rhymer I'm kinda residin' on the side of the spectrum Normally reserved for taped spectacles A bookworm as a kid Expressin' no interest in The art of hip-hop or the Rest of the music industry My purpose was a mystery My drive and ambition Were lackin' a mission While stackin' up dishes In back of the kitchen No end in sight at a dead end job But I kept my trap snapped more than Silent Bob The lack of pa**ion was tragic The ugly duck of the pageant But who could imagine Where the magic would finally happen I surely didn't I couldn't envision Ever listenin' Let alone I would ever be spittin' it [Hook] I'm gone down that lonely road once I go Burned out tonight and I'm headed home And I'm close to the place I know Burned out tonight and I'm headed home [Verse 2] I happened on a rapper with the Last name of Fiasco And his Food and Liquor Had a lasting impact on my past And my future I consumed it and quickly moved to The Cool And it was fire, I aspired to be just like him To inquire and inspire others just like him Fire verses with a purpose Where the lights don't dim Mix intelligence and relevance With money, cars and elegance And never make a record With sole objective of dividends No intention of givin' in Temptation of livin' in The biggest of stages Flip the pages in my book of wisdom And signal this Chapter 1 Assuredly more to come As I grow as an artist My hardest hasn't been spun On the vinyl, my recitals Incite the sight of asylums Payin' homage to the kings Like a tithe 'til it's my time, I abide And write rhymes While I'm sittin', ridin' the pine And prepare to take the reins When's it's my moment to shine [Hook]
