[Intro]
I seem to picture a different scene is..
Cold flow with the mind of a genius..
I seen this with me filling arenas a mic in my hand my day dreaming left me sleepless..
These lonely nights forever came so needless..
Out of control I'm letting go like a seamstress..
Like I'm riding a flight without the pilot in
Now my foes selling they souls like it was pirated..
[Verse 1: Cho$en]
I'm on an island where we're forced to pay a higher fair
But it's better than being trapped where the fire is..
Now let me put the fire in, kicking these dope flows
Giving these fiends what they desiring
I feel lately I've been preaching to the choir and
Got cosigned from Badu now they inquiring
A perfectionist I'm reckoning, what the connection is
Switch the direction so they miscued who they reckoned with
I met this girl who changed like the seasons
Stayed greeted with cold shoulders like winter breezes
Thoughts deepen, while her hearts begging for freedom
By the weight of her cleavage, our eyes began the seepage
Irony found itself in the arms of a lost n***a
Who's intention revolved in the arts of pulling triggers
Every minute that you're with him notice your heart simmers
Lights dimmer, the only time we see pa**ions flicker
Like how autumn is falling, deep in this life that your calling
But let my words be the awning, to shade the rain when it's dawning
And while we're rising it's pouring, pushing these thoughts that are foreign
So we wait for the morning, But see that's deeper than the flooring..
With these broken ties you see I'm scoping lies
To open minds, just watch as I, begin to vocalize
Breaking these rifts you see nothing with open eyes
Focalize these focal lines, with ideas of open skies
Try to contain me they localize, I'm from a place where there's no hope in mind
I'm from a place where people hope to die
Living these dreams upon these TV sceens, with open cries
I try to breathe, but with this noose is choking mine..
I'm still dreaming with the lights on, hoping I write wrongs
And that I write songs that's life long, so I fight strong
Life in the spotlight just hoping I prolong
Applying a force till I'm major feel my platform
Have you ever felt so low like time was rolling backwards?
Or like the world you knew was ripping through the fabric?
Like nothing, I mean nothing could ever fill your pa**ion
I know It seemed like all of our dreams were burnt to ashes
But I remember when we thought of life as everlasting
Instead of wasting it all trying to find the balance
See I'm her balance, she my balance, I'm her knight like Gladys
I try to stay on track but I can't fight the pa**ion
I'm cornered off like a picture let me think outside the frame
The ambition of a ladder, see I got more height to gain
So never forget the past, whatever may wash upon the shore
And beware of the vultures that pull you deeper than the core..
[Outro]
I seem to picture a different scene is..
Cold flow with the mind of a genius..
I seen this with me filling arenas a mic in my hand my day dreaming left me sleepless..
These lonely nights forever came so needless..
Out of control I'm letting go like a seamstress..
Like I'm riding a flight without the pilot in
Now my foes selling they souls like it was pirated..
And that's real..
