[Verse 1: Ian Levy]
Whip lash back to the air bag in front of me
Ashes in the air, scared, playin like it wasn't mean
Now its sinkin in feel I'm burned worse than first degree
Notice that I've been hiding that's why there's nervous tendencies
See I, mean I'm sorry I didn't see you
Like yeah he cut you off and you stopped short why did you?!
Man, I could have merged if I had wasn't on my phone
But that's whatever no one knows
I'm too clever for these blokes
Couldn't even tell my folks or they think I was a joke
On the brink of being whole now I'm lost without a soul
Cops were on the way but still I phoned home
Said I messed up I know, can pick me up though?
Like yo its kinda cold on the side of the road
Finding a hole in my coat, smoke I hope I don't choke
And while I watched that truck tow away parts of my heart
I felt freer and more focused than Noah did on his arch
A fresh start, to face fear and dance with the stars
Be revered as the kid who raps and still appears and smart
From this moment I'll embark on a path I'm scared to travel
Put my tires on gravel and learn to love the battle
[Hook: Ian Levy, Trey Won Kim, & Justin Austin]
Can you feel the burning Fire
Fear of losing your empire
Learning from intense Desire?
Give it all or walk the wire
[Verse 2: Ian Levy]
I Sit back with a napsack laugh
At the zig zag path I took to backpack rap
Smile and sippin a cap, chattin and snaggin a snack
After that I'll catch a cla**, on my ivy league swag, dag
It's kinda backwards, using words instead of trumpet licks
To capture my feelings on a track-list with vocalists
My souls in this, goin pro to make a difference
And my goals to help the world cope and make a wish-list
It's the simplest but hardest sk** to master
Write the current chapter without before and after
See me I'm the rapper whose don draper dapper
Collected and composed after going through disasters
A happy camper, god I'm so enamored
Got a fam that I can say I love and people who will always answer
So pa** the torch to me and I will scorch the world with beats
Sound will break the boundary, astounding I'll be proud to see
A crowd of pleas surrounding me, uncrowned MCs bound to lead
Hearts pound I see they found a voice to channel misery
And no matter what we face we'll sing it like a symphony
Clinging like a harmony but rhythmically with similes
I know we're gonna shine when mars aligns with mercury
I'm staying on my grind until we're rhyming for eternity
[Hook: Ian Levy, Trey Won Kim, & Justin Austin]
Can you feel the burning Fire
Fear of losing your Empire
Learning from intense Desire?
Give it all or walk the wire
