lyrics

I'm a step away from going off the deep end,
head first sugar I need a weekend,
blast off, never looked back to see them.
Now I'm in the air searching for the eject.
The respect comes only after it's too late,
from when the dawn cracks to the day the moon breaks.
Fools hate the way all my loose ends always turn out tight like a shoelace.
(Ay) Call me the new great,
I'm only here to get better.
But by the way they stare I feel more like a leper,
I used to fly until they plucked my feathers,
now I'm waiting for the straight jacket or stretcher.
But the pressure's compressing me to a diamond,
I am, finally realizing the lesson.
No one finds it over night it don't matter,
even if ya flying a mile a second,
mic check.
Give me an amen,
or give me a paycheck,
too many computers,
I'm losing my patients.
Abusing the language,
instead of respecting the craft,
getting fed up with fakers hell bent on the cash.

(Chorus)
I aint the best man,
I aint the worst cat,
I'm still trying to find out what's the difference.
so when you hear my name,
know it aint the same me.
I keep it changing keep it fresh, yes i keep it free.

It's like I'm lost in the ocean,
hoping to God I don't choke
it's so hard to bend when ya broke
an froze in a moment of focus
yo cause the options start growing,
open my palms fit the globe in.
Ya getting caught in the motion
though it aint easy to cope with.
(yo) But when I'm known,
you'll say I know you,
say I owe you cause of what we've gone through.
But where's that love when I'm in code blue,
need someone to go to
but you got no room?
Man that's a bold move,
to say we're familiar,
wrecking shows and booths,
both fresher and filthier.
There's no excuse for not running all cylinders,
simply singular,
we aint nothing similar.
So I'll sip the vinegar if it means getting honey,
something's got me like a whale in a pond full of guppies.
but the blood that's pumping's jumping out of my skin,
cause i aint scared of the race,
I'm afraid that it doesn't end.

(Chorus)
