Feral the Earthworm - Temples Made of Stone lyrics

[Intro] When you're 18 it just kind of feels like the entire planet pressures you to either get a job or go to college Follow the heard or do something predictable But this man actually encouraged me to rap And that... that just changed my life [Verse 1] That sh** was big Especially because I was just a kid He told me that I had “it” and whatever I did I'd always make it to the top because I was given a gift Which was a contrast to the teachers I had Who told me that I'd homeless and my poems were bad Suddenly I felt hope for what I'd wrote in my pad When pressured to be checkered he said go and be plaid Mike ... defended the vision When it was most vulnerable he lifted the restriction That limited my ambition With infinite ammunition I scribbled to the rhythm and committed to the mission When the record was written It started getting recognition He told me he was proud And I thanked him for what he'd given Then with one collision, I witnessed his position Undeservingly slip into critical condition [Verse 2] It felt like my chest had that rhinoceros From James and the Giant Peach 
Standing on top of it I'll probably never forget when we got the call to get To the four wheeler park and I saw the sh** There was blood on his face and on the ground It kind of felt like god was a sick 
twisted piece of sh** I thought, this isn't right … the opposite Will suffice Mr. Architect, my mother was finally stable Now she's selling everything that they own just to be able To survive. I'm afraid all this extra cash and stress Will cause a relapse So I apologize if at any point I appear on edge or unable to relax See these raps? They're all I've got That's why I write, all night and day It's a choice to spend my time inside alone. I jam my life away My step dad, Michael Joe? Was in ICU for like 90 days He made it out alive But when he was down I was forced to find new ways [Verse 3] To make ends meet. Selling pizza just wasn't enough This time I was on my own Twenty years grown Trying to be tough And that's when Pops pa**ed away ... My grandfather departed too early Having problems in every department of life Feeling as if I had surely Discovered rock bottom the rent went unpaid I lost my apartment had nowhere to stay It never quit raining I always felt grey Pretending for everyone I was okay Sometimes I think Logan don't know what it meant Provided the shelter but didn't charge rent Started working my a** off I saved every cent I provide for myself now I'm feeling content [Verse 4] And that's why nobody can take this f**ing dream from me I built it organically, understand what this means to me 
Sometimes I seem to be, a man surrounded by boys The difference between us is I'm taking action You busters are just making noise So step back. Move aside I'm a temple made of stone you better lose your pride You can take your best shot, you can do what you like But you ain't never gonna make me quit a musical life I'll do it til' I'm gone let the truth be told I'll do it when the times are good And when they're brutally cold I ain't never known a moment where I knew me to fold That's how the f** I'm still standing here At twenty two years old [Final Verse] But what ever I think I went through is pathetic Because I'm not the one who hit the ground And got life flighted by paramedics If you want to talk about strength Then you need to give Mike the credit Man, it was you who believed in me You showed me a brighter day I know that it isn't much But I really just wanted to write and say … 
Thank you The day that I'm wealthy I'll return it a thousand fold Because you're my mother f**ing family But I know that no amount of gold Could ever repay what you gave me You instilled in me something proper Because of you I work harder With confidence I no longer Need an Oscar 
To know I'm Leo DiCaprio So if there's any possible way to offer That excitement you once told me about When you first flew over the water At such a young age and saw what you saw from a helicopter Then please take it from this weird poem and prosper Because that moment is now There's a lot of reasons to feel excited Mike Don't ever let your flame burn out And if you ever feel alone just know you've got a friend in me So if it's possible please ... Be a temple made of stone [Chorus: Julya Byond] I am a temple made of stone Temple made of stone Temple made of stone Temple made of stone I stand on my own Stand on my own Stand on my own Stand on my own
