Mezeker - The Rope lyrics

Let go of the rope and make the climb/ The longer you wait, the more you will find/ That you're writing out your history, every moment you decline/ Is a chance pa**ed in life, no way to rewind/ The life and times of men and women struggling to survive/ From struggle comes opportunity when you need to provide/ For your seed to feast, you need to enrich the soil/ So that the future can go further than you, become royal/ I pray they stay loyal to the lessons that you taught them/ To move around the nonsense, life is a slalom/ It's the long and winding path, no maps/ No backtrack, just empty backpacks/ C'mon, do the math/ They said a picture is worth a thousand words/ But which thousand words can help you picture my grind?/ If I gave you ten thousand hours of my life/ Will I make something beautiful to call mine?/ Behind every success, there's a million failures/ But every failure makes me familiar/ With my true self, not only thoughts of wealth/ But of my two helping hands to lift myself/ And well, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take/ So I can't take a break, for Heaven's sake/ Cus while you're resting, someone's eyeing your spot/ Just burn like Roman candles, let that centerlight pop/ The oohs and ahhs are what I'm going for/ They keep me going, keep me flowing/ My stream of consciousness will not be slowing down/ Just to let Father Time catch up/ I sidestep the traps where others messed up/ Cus I just wanna get the rest of my dreams out/ This is more than a habit, so please keep the fiends out/ This is my dream spout/ And if life is a movie, I'm just trying to get my scenes out/ So run towards the glory, don't run from it/ And show the world how bad you really want it/ So, keep climbing with two eyes on the summit/ And they'll summon tales to tell about how we were becoming/ One/
