lyrics

I can't handle the constant admiration,
Rhymes start becoming more like obligations
Rap about cars I won't ever drive
Talk about money I've never seen
Say fine women want to spend the night
Tough talk to boost my self esteem
It seems if I don't then imma quitter
Gotta learn to follow my dreams on twitter
Yea retweet that I guess I'm just out of it
Born renegade rebel against politics
I'm just a modest spic living with the oddest wit
A novelist trying hard to be an optimist
But how can I be when rap is a fallacy
I show apathy naturally I'm half asleep
I live fantasies far away galaxies
casually it fathoms me am I the one in agony

If my voice shines out right now ill just hear it in my mind
If my voice shines out right now ill just hear it in my mind

(Talk-Sik)
Heat, sweating like I'm punkin’ a youngin’
But when u spit heat they say ice comes in the dozens
I'm on a trip to relapse station,
But if I think back days, then, there no relaxation!
Stick and move, spitting out the Wocka Flocka Flames
Off the top my brain, better even dropping off some shame
I'm a realist, so Mr Talk-sik is not for chains
Laughing at half-assed clowns, talking bout some change
Man, its time to get the facts straight
Daily I lyricise to a bigger size, but I don't rap great
But just cuz I twist up my words to sound like it’s a fast rate
Doesn't mean I'm not lyricising, fans wait have faith
I'm down a road with a raft and a paddle
Ditch it like classes to rap in a battle
Everyone has passion but babbles
Thinking this Hip-Hop craft they can handle
Well this isn't some Easy Mac and Cheese
Thinking "that's the steez" when u hear Yeezy rap with ease?
Believe me that's the least it has me thinking past the streak
I'm giving easy rap defeats when homies bringing back the beat

If my voice shines out right now ill just hear it in my mind
If my voice shines out right now ill just hear it in my mind

Heat in a world where everything is digital
Its pivotal the pitiful stop being so visible
I'm miserable from hearing the same syllables
From despicable typical fictional criminals
Ah look at me I'm stepping off the edge
Swearing I'm misread for declaring I'm best dead
So instead of blending with the rest
I'm sweating off the stress somehow now settling for less
Ah tell me you can't feel the energy
Passions my specialty I'm asking you sensibly
Do you think that the average can mess with me?
Panic my destiny attack me with melodies
I can't seem to fathom the enemy
That’ll come down and try to challenge my weaponry
I know that he'd be valiant but terribly
Mistaken for thinking he can match up my legacy
Maybe my expedition isn't healthy
My missions to make entry dismissing those that tempt me
I wanna quit my ambition wouldn't let me
Not crazy just definitions of an emcee

If my voice shines out right now ill just hear it in my mind
If my voice shines out right now ill just hear it in my mind
