| Yo, I light up the jar under the light of the stars
|
| And write a few bars until the silence dissolves
|
| Contemplatin' if I’m right or I’m wrong
|
| For dedicatin' most my time to holdin' mics in my palm
|
| My dream has been life long
|
| And tho' the finish line is still outta sight within my plight I fight on
|
| And I ain’t singin' no sob stories of sad songs
|
| I stick to tellin' the total truth and that’s all
|
| It’s ironic when your rap’s best thing
|
| And yet somehow your career is still fledglin'
|
| That’s my predicament and it’s perplexin'
|
| But instead of sweatin' it I just keep progression
|
| While waitin' for the stars to align
|
| In a moment in time when it’s my moment to shine
|
| But until then I keep my eyes on the prize
|
| And try to survive night-after-night goin' for mine
|
| Becuz…
|
| «In a matter, of a moment lost till the end of time»
|
| (It only takes a moment)
|
| «It's the evening of another day and the end of mine»
|
| (For your life to fly by)
|
| «In a matter, of a moment lost till the end of time»
|
| (It only takes a moment)
|
| «It's the evening of another day and the end of mine»
|
| (Just to find you’re outta time)
|
| And every evenin' at the end of another day
|
| I’m buckin' the system tryin' to figure out another way
|
| And budget what I gotta pay to phone a lifeline
|
| Hope rainy days don’t last my whole lifetime (Please!)
|
| That’s why the moonlight is mine
|
| When the moon starts to shine a feelin' moves up my spine
|
| Yeah, I stay in tune with the shadows
|
| Lone trooper on the road less traveled
|
| Lone wolf, sole controller, only soldier still in the battle
|
| Only slave on the boat who’s really rowin' his paddle
|
| Still I sit in the saddle and dip from the hassles
|
| Others get rattled and just dibble and dabble
|
| I think bigger, connectin' the dots on the big picture
|
| Like identifyin' the 'Big Dipper'
|
| Fueled by haters' comments
|
| And one day I promise that I’ll light up the sky like Haley’s Comet…
|
| Yo, I hope the struggle don’t murder me
|
| Before I find out how many people heard of V from Jersey to Germany
|
| And yeah I try to act fine as tho' all is well
|
| But at times I feel like the snowball in hell
|
| I’m tryin' to find my way, that’s why it’s all grunt work
|
| Got no time for play, no time for games
|
| So while my time remains I won’t wait like a time delay
|
| I say what I mean and mean what I say
|
| Chasin' dreams night-by-night and day-after-day
|
| I met a broad at the titty bar
|
| Called 'Starlight' becuz her eyes twinkled like little stars
|
| She had a smile that could shine for a million years
|
| I told her I got a trail of a trillion tears
|
| Ask if she could help me make it disappear
|
| And felt no fear, when she said this here, she said… |
