[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..
