Dre the Monarch - Odyssey lyrics

{Verse 1} My life bears various stories that I’m scared to share Robert Horry in the finals I’m in gear to tear Up a wall drink the sorrow like it’s Belvedere Used to want to be an engineer The truth’s incendiary If you’re unprepared To let go Your precious paradigm better bomb it like Aleppo Life is gold men discover when they’re old The time to build a family is rapidly ugh I’m in the apathy home Gladly sitting back When I’m alone and off the phone I’m prolly slitting tracks Bring attention back to fore I been spaced out Like that rockets offense Or the Martians Went through 8 droughts I’m yet to age out Of the system I’ve been caged Yet to get a victory like diamond dallas page I was born in Harris County ni**a Houston is the way Used to disobey authority when not in the minority Far from freedom fighter Never need a lighter Check the Augury I’m set to blow like Aubrey if motivation holds The death throes Before a nation falls Gordon gecko greed is good livin over debt the old A dragon to Edgar Allan ni**a don’t forget poe The fall of Rome reliveth Ran a marathon like Molly Tibbets end up lost That’s how I finished out the first year of college sh*t From ominous to buddin psychologist The problems buried under my façade, I’ll acknowledge it Dropped out while I was rapping Found a gem in I I’ve gained a lot of weight there’s been some distance with the gym and I {Hook} I’mma get through or die tryin I’mma get through or die tryin I’mma get through or die tryin A taste of sacrifice is divine like Mayans I’mma get through or die trying {Verse 2} I’mma get through or die trying Grind rhymes to intrude my silence I try to exclude my bias Like Cyrus the second The papyrus is effortless The holiest of emperors Search it down to exodus My people never wrote their history So read about the Pegasus, and Perseus And Sisyphus's mystery Achilles had his injury Existence is a misery You ni**as can’t do sh*t to me {Hook}
