[Verse 1]
My brain activates the bright path to pave
While rats try to race me, write fast or fade
From here to the Big Apple, like Adam and Eve
With the sk**s that AZ would say are rather unique
Got your heart jumping like trampolines between your skin
Can it be? Nothing can even damage me within!
Stand between, me and the microphone to hold the pen
With no idea, what kind of state of mind that I've been in? Get right
I was the kind of teen down to smoke a pound of weed
Now I raise my seed to open up a book and read
With more to life and how he's thinking he's tight
For obeying his thirst without him ever drinking a Sprite
And now I'm here to knock down doors
To the dark room of your thoughts;
Turn the lights on and really find you
So if your minds that white knuckle tight
Then carry your own weight in a rhyme exercise too
Enjoy the ride! Like I'm getting you home safe
With road rage, while I'm drunk driving with no breaks!
I'm giving whiplash when I'm over this track
Nobody is this phat! Can I get witness?
[Chorus]
I find myself awake!
I can't seem to make my mind sleep
[Verse 2]
I'll slam a chrome mic with a tight grip!
Like seeing me right before you see the light would be priceless
Can handle anything, I'm decisive
Without the need of human beings telling me I'm the nicest
I'm like Ripley's Believe It or Not
To anyone who doesn't know who I am on the spot
I'm no saint, no mob, or chain to break off
I hate to say, I forgot, but time doesn't
The Spud Webb of a monster dunk
Is out to Shock G, like I'm Humpty Hump
Yeah! It's like that, whether you move up or don't
Either way, it's gonna sting like a wound full of salt
Results of all kinds, the toughest of times
Is how you find out what tough love is like!
Despite my old ways; this is a new chapter
Of others having a fit or a tiff when it's spelled backwards!
I'm the cracker with lung bu*ter mechanics
That'll have you sweat, dripping as wet as a head of lettuce
So! Close your eyes, and make a wish
Yet don't waste your strength, would go great with this!
The older I get, the more it invites, that hip-hop has died
While I'm still alive!
And learning to improve, is better than any news
Of how fast people turn and curse your every move
2x[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I was chosen to open your mouth, till it's frozen
Composing a flow to be proud of exposing
Showing a crowd what it means to emcee
Of how down isn't out, it's to grow more explosive!
And this is how it's done, moving while the beat erupts!
As I experiment with the human experience
Busy and in a rush, the same with nothing new
That's why I'm talking to your gut, “who the f** are you?”
Been through enough sh**, to know that's tough sh**!
That's what's your stuck with? Glad that isn't us, sh**
What I'm dealing with is ill I confess
To put your ear to the stereo when we're in effect
When I let go of desire, then to give is essential
In fresh mode to fail my way to being successful
Taking action, imagine, rising above to accept who you are
As a way to become more persistent, my influence is next
So committed to overk** it, that's as real as it gets!
When you picture what I've said, like they're mental images
You can find me in your head without me ever paying rent
3x[Chorus]
