| «Good morning heartache, it’s a pleasure to meet you»
|
| I said staring in the mirror in search of weakness
|
| Shit am I the loose link? |
| Madam Medus ink?
|
| Pace movin slower than a statue frozen
|
| Starving artist, more like hostage
|
| Easily composed in mail and poastage
|
| Mailbox empty though, no respondents
|
| Chasin condiments, I need to catch up/ketchup
|
| Beats are bangin, but ain’t no bangin back
|
| Sorry Charlie, no gold ticket
|
| (Cricket, cricket) Sound bites are hunger
|
| Put so much work in, but ain’t no work out
|
| and ain’t no ringtone in lonely doubt’s ears
|
| It’s lonely out here, phony out here
|
| like T.I. |
| (U Don’t Know Me) out here
|
| A smidgen of set-back sets in.
|
| For weeks we wore the game face travellin place to place
|
| Conventions (seminars) talent shows near and far
|
| Travelled the south to let them know the name
|
| Out THEY mouth shout a ghost of Ichabod Crane
|
| Yo, could it be that we ain’t good D?!
|
| Nah, they just hatin (or really ain’t relatin)
|
| Feelin a little homesick, rather be at home with
|
| them corner boys talkin that everyday home shit
|
| But when at the crib, anxiety sets in
|
| I didn’t set a «Plan B», understand me?
|
| We need to get a hold on «Plan A»
|
| Cause I’m NOT tryin to live on minimum pay
|
| (This shit is takin too long yo) Yeah I told you bro
|
| The old man’s at the crib like «I told you so»
|
| And mom’s still prayin, I hope she ask God to
|
| open them doors to the game so we can get the play in
|
| The second act curtains almost by nature
|
| The wage is mental, bettin this won’t happen
|
| Change in the caption is not for captain
|
| Neither co-pilot, the colder silent
|
| and in creeps Miss Doubt-fire's comfort
|
| Tits danglin in front of, tanglin my thoughts
|
| Departs from confines of my confidence
|
| Broken egos, small disasters
|
| Even in plaster, limbs will not heal
|
| I’m armin myself, charming I self
|
| Lord and Master, show me a sign
|
| Not for nothin Lord, show me
|
| Wasn’t it good with that Spalding
|
| but excellent with the golf clubs
|
| Scream WHOOOA! |
| Smash the window to the car door
|
| (Reach in) grab, sprint back to the lab
|
| You would think I didn’t have any sense
|
| but my sense of worth was still growin, so was my dreams
|
| of being kids from Queens beings managed by Lyor Cohen
|
| and Russell Rush (Rick Rubin doin them beats)
|
| A month later on stage with Adidas on my feet
|
| but right now worry’s on my mind
|
| I’m still gon' climb (not stoppin) if the beats stop rockin
|
| I’ll beat hand and fist with skills on the table
|
| Hello?
