For the crown…
[Verse 1: Money Mike Sandberg]
Hey, imma teach ya
Are you cuttin' my cla**?
Imma lecture ya
Imma test ya
Rest ya head
On this bed of rhymes
I rewrite
Grip gets so tight
My sight
Tunnel vision
My revisions on my lessons
Just like
This track
Runnin' around in circles but
Get to the point in the end
Where I'm at my final edits
Back to the first one
See how far I've come
The sum
Of all my expectations
Translation for no celebrations
Because…
In the past
Written off more times
Than words in this song
This journey has been too long
But imma tag along
Now catch up
You've been telling me one job at a time
Teach, teach, teach
You don't got my lens
Perspective
Not the same as yours
I'm teachin'
And patchin' this rap game up
Opening other doors
Game is on lock
Rhymes caged in
From past to present
Always livin' in this present
That's my lesson
Unwrappin' the gift of time
Here we are now
Lets go!

[Verse 2: Darth Pheez]
It was summer 2012, feelin' like a lost soul
And I was standing at the crossroad
In my dorm room at Union
Not feelin' part of this communion
I fade through the existential haze
Cus I'm stuck in a maze
Only to find two roads diverge
In a foggy wood
My heart pounding, my heart racing, I couldn't recognize my own neighborhood
I look up at the sky
To see cirrocumulus
In this nucleus staring right back where I stood
A mackerel sky? Nah more like a nihilist sigh
I lie back and see the lunar plaque
Where my heroes stepped foot where no man understood
So I let my thoughts flow, my fears go
Like the mercury seven or apollo eleven
Reach for the sky with an endless drive powered by rocketdyne
Like Michelangelo or Leonardo
I synthesize seductively surreal skies
They said be a physician, it's a good life
But deep down I never wanted the regular type life
Like Neal McCauley I take scores
An entrepreneur opening doors!

[Closure: Alexia]
Figure out what you're born to do
Grind it out in this hip-hop game
We are past due
