[Verse 1] My brain activates the bright path to pave While rats try to race me, write fast or fade From here to the Big Apple, like Adam and Eve With the sk**s that AZ would say are rather unique Got your heart jumping like trampolines between your skin Can it be? Nothing can even damage me within! Stand between, me and the microphone to hold the pen With no idea, what kind of state of mind that I've been in? Get right I was the kind of teen down to smoke a pound of weed Now I raise my seed to open up a book and read With more to life and how he's thinking he's tight For obeying his thirst without him ever drinking a Sprite And now I'm here to knock down doors To the dark room of your thoughts; Turn the lights on and really find you So if your minds that white knuckle tight Then carry your own weight in a rhyme exercise too Enjoy the ride! Like I'm getting you home safe With road rage, while I'm drunk driving with no breaks! I'm giving whiplash when I'm over this track Nobody is this phat! Can I get witness? [Chorus] I find myself awake! I can't seem to make my mind sleep [Verse 2] I'll slam a chrome mic with a tight grip! Like seeing me right before you see the light would be priceless Can handle anything, I'm decisive Without the need of human beings telling me I'm the nicest I'm like Ripley's Believe It or Not To anyone who doesn't know who I am on the spot I'm no saint, no mob, or chain to break off I hate to say, I forgot, but time doesn't The Spud Webb of a monster dunk Is out to Shock G, like I'm Humpty Hump Yeah! It's like that, whether you move up or don't Either way, it's gonna sting like a wound full of salt Results of all kinds, the toughest of times Is how you find out what tough love is like! Despite my old ways; this is a new chapter Of others having a fit or a tiff when it's spelled backwards! I'm the cracker with lung bu*ter mechanics That'll have you sweat, dripping as wet as a head of lettuce So! Close your eyes, and make a wish Yet don't waste your strength, would go great with this! The older I get, the more it invites, that hip-hop has died While I'm still alive! And learning to improve, is better than any news Of how fast people turn and curse your every move 2x[Chorus] [Verse 3] I was chosen to open your mouth, till it's frozen Composing a flow to be proud of exposing Showing a crowd what it means to emcee Of how down isn't out, it's to grow more explosive! And this is how it's done, moving while the beat erupts! As I experiment with the human experience Busy and in a rush, the same with nothing new That's why I'm talking to your gut, “who the f** are you?” Been through enough sh**, to know that's tough sh**! That's what's your stuck with? Glad that isn't us, sh** What I'm dealing with is ill I confess To put your ear to the stereo when we're in effect When I let go of desire, then to give is essential In fresh mode to fail my way to being successful Taking action, imagine, rising above to accept who you are As a way to become more persistent, my influence is next So committed to overk** it, that's as real as it gets! When you picture what I've said, like they're mental images You can find me in your head without me ever paying rent 3x[Chorus]
