Big K.R.I.T. - Until The Day I Die... lyrics

[Verse 1: MΔR$] Merely a spawn or reflection of my father's rap collection With a little bit of everything like a walking rapping section I'm coming from all angles Battle in my mind, good and evil like falling angels It's hard to stay on this straight road But I'm straight and narrow, lyrical bow and arrow Paper chasing, tryna' get that dough like I'm Sbarro Cause heaven knows all we chase in life is that dinero Selling crack to pregnant mothers as long as we got that payroll Coming in, come again College got me coming out of pocket like I'm Michael Vick Not a cent, so I take this mic and vent In hopes that someone likes this sh** And if not then it's back to the lab again, I'm a scientist They say hip-hop is dead I feel we've just abandoned it So I mix these black thoughts with these roots here and plant it in On a quest for love you can travel through my phrenology And probably see a God MC, I'm like a walking prophecy Yo, I'm a savior, no one to do it greater I'm cut from an iller nature, dictionary demonstrator That'll take you cartoons out the box, an illustrator Ha, I'm gifted greater than anyone you can name up So this is how we chill from 93 'til Infinity or 95 until the end of me I flow with entities over these instrumentals B And influentially k** these n***as with verbal symmetry I could tell you everything ain't what it seems I struggle to face reality tryna' get back to dreams It seems, this art is all I need They say music is life but this rap sh** is what I bleed And I hope you see that I don't do this for the glory I'd much rather tell my story through the sh** that I'm recording And they keep saying, "You just doing what the rest do" But this music is reflection of self so F you This self-reflection is just a lesson in effervescence Headed to the top, I got no time for your second guessing Either you with me or against me So run with my squad or get run over quickly I swear I go to this for inspiration listen for motivation This is soul rejuvenating when my mind starts racing And the problems that I'm facing tend to increase in the pace And my mind starts decaying Cause I stay frustrated just a little bit By the little sh** but I'ma make it if you feelin' it So free your mind and you better check the time Cause I came to take your shine AKA what's really mine So could you stay with me or maybe pray with me As I travel A to Z or even from A to B sh**, it's plain to see that everything ain't what it seems So I take this seed and plant it in the mind of teens [Bridge] Yo, until the day I die I'ma ride to the sky with the same old vibe Yea, until the day I die I'ma ride to the sky with the same old vibe Yo, until the day I die I'ma ride to the sky with the same old vibe Yea, until the day I die, until the day I die...go
