Azmatic - Carpe Diem lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1: AzMatic] I'm on the road to the sound of applause, I'm flapping my jaws And I be steady rapping 'till they clapping their paws I'm 'bout to k** it 'till my spit hits, splats on the walls For a minute, wasn't rapping at all Cause when I got started, my voice got me downhearted I didn't want to share what I wrote and I felt outsmarted So when the rains came, and the showers started I would look at myself next to the power artists I pulled the cord, and closed the door And put a lock on the box where the flow was stored But then I got to writing again when I got bored It took work, but I had started forward And I kept going, sworn to endure the storm Even when picked last and stabbed by the thorns of scorn It's been a ride, but all trials ignored I'm so alive and my feet can't find the floor [Verse 2: AzMatic] Now I'm just grinding every day, just trying to keep my writtens tight And realize it's not about what all the critics write I'm steady giving my vision, but I be getting sight Haters quick to bark but naw they only got a little bite And now I'm ditching the wishing so when they hit the lights I'm onstage gripping and ripping the mic I was at the end of the tunnel, I could see the light I pressed on and now it's all getting bright And now I'm in the fast lane and I remain in the fight So sit tight and get shifted to your lane on the right I'm dropping heat, with propane flames to ignite I'm aiming to write and staying up late in the night And now I'm feeling like I mastered the art Pa**ed on the pa**iveness, now I'm feeling like a pastor at heart If y'all are hating, I'm waiting for you cats to depart Cause life's a play and we all just trying to master the part [Verse 3: AzMatic] Exterminating the bugs, listen my game infested But now it's bigger and better and beta tested So pay attention, I waited to play the message When y'all was down, I was upgraded and rested So when the song hits, you know that I'm on this To promise that I'm equipped with spit sick as the jaundice I'm coming out the darkness conscious that Imma rhyme 'till all my life's goals accomplished And I used to be ashamed of myself I was afraid to be lame, never to have my name claiming the wealth Afraid to get help and waiting 'till the patience was felt Gotta play your cards right, however painfully dealt And now I'm just being honest Imma go about my business regardless If you got good seeds to plant, let's get started But if you just got weeds to plant, get out my garden [Outro]
