[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]
