lyrics

Calling life from a cell phone waiting for it to answer.
Writing love letters in poetic stanzas.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.
I got success in my mind with no ransom.
What I’ll trade it for man you can't fathom.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.

Feel the wrath from the scepter of my passion.
Melancholy detectors when I'm rapping.
On a new road with limited distractions.
Broke up with abstractions for constantly flashing.
Feel the weight of the shadows when I'm laughing.
Ambition receptors begin asking
Where I'm going? What I'm doing? Why I'm average?
Where I've learned to speak forbidden language?
I just tell them I'm a scholar with diplomas
A hoodlum with aggression, multiple personas.
Quotable for grown ups noble and a learner.
Notable to loners closure for the posers.
Feel the waves from my brain when I'm thinking.
All the crazy thoughts then I begin sinking
Language shifting can you hear my wishing.
To be distant with my soul slowly drifting.

Calling life from a cell phone waiting for it to answer.
Writing love letters in poetic stanzas.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.
I got success in my mind with no ransom.
What I’ll trade it for man you can't fathom.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.

Follow the movement of my souls choreography.
Dishonor me if I'm an honoree.
Loading their armory threaten to bring harm to me.
I'm hard to read like setting your font to three.
Follow the music I sold to the scholarly.
It ought to be audibly a nominee.
Instead I live modestly as a prodigy.
Its prophecy ill embark on this odyssey.

I just keep to myself I’m a loner.
I only go on roads I don't know of.
Think outside the box I'm never cornered.
Look at me I find delight in disorder.
Follow my thoughts as they travel with no passport.
Speed reader looking forward to a crash course.
Anarchist with his very own task force.
Humble mind what else could I ask for

Cell phone waiting for it to answer.
Writing love letters in poetic stanzas.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.
I got success in my mind with no ransom.
What I’ll trade it for man you can't fathom.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.

Calling life from a cell phone waiting for it to answer.
Writing love letters in poetic stanzas.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.
I got success in my mind with no ransom.
What I’ll trade it for man you can't fathom.
I can't help but want to stay dreaming,
envisioning my own little Eden.
