| The Catalyst
|
| (Good morning)
|
| They say I’m over the hill, but get real
|
| Cause I ain’t even 24 yet
|
| It’s a new day, bringing the heat to your doorstep
|
| Get your alarm set
|
| The way you niggers shine it can burn skin
|
| I’m only growing brighter as the world spin
|
| Up in the morning while you snoring in bed
|
| I’m making moves on the cover while you yawning instead
|
| So late that when it dawned on you
|
| I’m a bigger star than you
|
| Some have, I’ll still probably be over your head
|
| Cause it’s my time
|
| No, I mean, it’s my time
|
| And right now can’t nothing else eclipse my shine
|
| It’s too colorful
|
| As hard as artists try to recreate what I do
|
| Can’t duplicate
|
| So I’m sunning you
|
| CHORUS
|
| I know you sleeping if you don’t feel me
|
| Gotta be sleeping if you don’t feel me
|
| East coast to worldwide
|
| All sleeping if they don’t feel me
|
| I know you sleeping if you don’t feel me
|
| Illogic
|
| I was shining, riding high for what it’s worth
|
| The words in my mouth were like sunlight to warm the earth
|
| The world witnessed my rise so it was hard to hide
|
| The brilliance that I projected from those piercing eyes
|
| The horizon is my stage it’s like I’m standing on the ocean
|
| Now I’m floating free, my presence alone makes history daily
|
| Everyone’s a critic but it was easy to see
|
| Without a doubt that the worlds revolve around me
|
| At my peak, my zenith, every dream I had came true
|
| Thus far, I mean, how many people become stars
|
| This cycle is changing me I’m no longer the same
|
| Just ninety-three million miles ahead of the game
|
| CHORUS
|
| NP
|
| (You see)
|
| It was all good just a week ago
|
| So I need to know how can one cease to glow
|
| I once reached a glow
|
| With sun speak for sure
|
| Now they think sudden weeks so they treat me cold
|
| Feels like I have no choice
|
| So I sink below
|
| And fade to black
|
| Like peace of ghosts
|
| I laid my tracks
|
| And brought heat before
|
| But state the facts
|
| You see, from the east I rose
|
| Then I broke from my leash
|
| So this beast could roll
|
| My buzz would increase
|
| Cause my streak was long
|
| But the love I once received
|
| Don’t seem as strong
|
| It’s like they had enough of me
|
| I can’t believe it’s gone
|
| (Voiceover)
|
| I couldn’t believe it, just like that
|
| Everything was gone, it was all over
|
| He’s gone, he’s gone
|
| Everything was gone
|
| He’s gone, he’s gone, he’s gone
|
| Everything was gone
|
| He’s gone, he’s gone
|
| Everything was gone
|
| He’s gone, he’s gone, he’s gone
|
| Everything was gone |
