[Verse] Momentarily side tracked Get right back to this blow the dust of my rhyme pad Concentration hijacked Got a lot of catching up to do writing in time lapse (?) Bad luck stepping on my wise cracks Autodidact from birth to suicide pact Elevate the art form to its climax No competition opposition wave white flags No retreat no surrender Persevere even if I end up the group's only member Lone prospector, 49er Rushing towards the second golden era You got a better idea? You won't go the extra mile so I'll go the extra light year The star child, the next phase, the sensei The grand master of the end game, check mate Comprende? Rebel with a lost cause Committed to finding hip hop's cure It's my mission in life Though I'm destined to fail it doesn't diminish my drive Ride until the wheels have fallen off Still won't even come to a California stop Give it all I got and then some Make whack rappers switch place with my favourite dead ones And expunge the whole scene as we know it Snap you out of this ma** hypnosis Uneducated the great brainwashed don't just settle for less They celebrate it And throw words round like genius and legend For people that they needn't even have mentioned f** the mainstream Want it pushing up the daisies No if buts or maybes Me quit? Must be crazy Powerless as we became I and us became me Feel (failed?) to discard my people sk**s Solitary Confinement prophecy fulfilled And so I'm back on my own Well, he who travels farthest travels alone
