Blue Foundation - The Prologue/ Tale of the Dusty Pencil lyrics

[Verse 1] Music I'm sorry that I couldn't keep up my end of the bargain Barely graduated, but understand my life was just startin' College applications, not a chance, no one accepted me My brain wasn't up to par, or their standards, allegedly But Music, you told me that you'd be here regardless Through the tussles and pleasures, no matter if the life gets heartless You'd beat for me in my chest, and in my soul you'd give life Forever bonded in love, to husband you give wife And in return, I promised you words made j**els, flows made of gold And stories of my life in verses way beyond your wildest dreams To plot and scheme our way to the top of the scene So I slid that ring on your left hand and promised you the world.. [Hook] I'll seek you out Flay you alive One more word and you won't survive And I'm not scared Of your stolen power I see right through you any hour I won't soothe your pain [Verse 2] But I couldn't commit, bullsh** bombarded my mind at every turn Prioritizin' put our plans to the side But you knew inside I yearned to make every dream I spoke true Give it time, I told you, Music this was just a bump in the road But that bump turned into a bridge of pain Couldn't write for the d**h of me, am I goin' insane, I asked myself Time after time, and then started to drift away from you scared, that I wasn't enough Worth sh** was this life I gave you, my words made of copper my flows made of plastic And the stories were getting repetitive Searchin' for a f**in' sedative to sit me down and concentrate So as the liquor burns and the weed burns a little harder, I contemplate That maybe I've reached my rhyme limit That's when you a**ured me that you never gave my promises a time limit See? You were here forever, my down a** b**h, my ride or die Through the storm and the pain Bonnie and Clyde.. [Hook] I won't ease your strain You'll be waiting in vain I got nothing for you to gain I'm taking it slow Feeding my flame Shuffling the cards of your game And just in time In the right place Suddenly I will play my ace Ahh, felling any foe with my gaze Ahh, steadily emerging with grace Ahh, felling any foe with my gaze Ahh, steadily emerging with grace
