lyrics

I walk slow, can't get my thoughts in order
Was I born to be alone, this is torture.
I'm an emcee I sure didn't want it though.
Born to flow, graduated on the honor roll.
I should know this road aint easy.
Oxymoronic I spit bars freely.
I'm just trying to reach the needy deeply.
I rather look sleepy than dreamy.
So many visions in my mind I can't paint well.
Study the game so much, man I can't fail.
Steady hands hoping that I aim well.
Can't find a job so I'm writing as the pain swells.
I just feel like I've used all my energy.
The type to put what I love in jeopardy.
Memento, need to write down my memories.
Leave me alone I'm in a zone of reverie.

I walk slow can't get my thoughts in order.
I take way less than I seem to offer.
I'm an honest soul working to pay my bills.
Fake the will to play for real so haters chill.
I just want to make enough so my mom can rest.
I can be a dad, and help pops beat the stress.
It seems like no matter what I can't prosper though.
I gots to know who can help me as an artist so.
I can reach all the masses with classics.
Nothing drastic, I'm way too passive.
More like tragic, I'm hoping I can grasp it.
A Hispanic who has it but lives average.
And that's it I don't care for a mansion
Rather trade every last cent for more passion.
And Then I’ll trade attraction for compassion.
Forget lights and cameras, all I want is the action.
