Intro

think I realized, I’m not really here to defeat others,
But maybe I was put on this planet to defeat myself

Forgot I said that

Yeah

...>I Hear the >LAUGHTER and CHATTER
…>Become UNCLEAR as I PASS through the CAVERN,
>A SMEAR, - >SHADOWING the MASTERS!
...>GATHERING over the MICROSCOPE, for some ANSWERS!
...>I’m UNDER IT
With a CLOUD of SMOKE!
…>And a SAMPLER!

...>POISONOUS CONTENT!, >Of the VOICES in my CONSCIENCE!
>GET MET WIT’ GAUNTLETS!?
...>Won’t >ACCEPT, >Of any NONSENSE!
...>TRY IT,
…>LIKE a SATIVA DOMINANT HYBRID
…>IDEAS RIPENED
>In Thee ARENA PROVIDED!

CONJURED thee IMPOSSIBLE, to CONQUER OBSTACLES,
>When your STOCK doesn't GO AS PLANNED?
...Just WATCH your OPTIONS CLOSE!
…>And FROM the CARDS that SHOW
THEY THINK that I should FOLD!
…>With INGREDIENTS I BEHOLD?
>It SEEMS ILLOGICAL!?
I KNOW!

…>SITTING DUCKS Getting PLUCKED, with SHITTY LUCK
And PENNIES TUCKED?!...
>Be AMAZED if ANY STUCK, REALLY!
UP from a PUDDLE of SELF-PITY
>The MUCK, -> WHERE I FELT HIDEOUS
…>Had NOTHING LEFT? but my WITTINESS


HOOK

This life
No Classes
Shit Happens
>SELF-ASSASSIN,
...>Sick, >SACRIFICE OF PASSION

…>Gotta Practice
>Outlast the VAST
>Through the LOOKING GLASS,
…>QUICK ACTION
>Till I’m ASH-ENED!

This life
No Classes
Shit Happens
>SELF-ASSASSIN,
...>Sick, >SACRIFICE OF PASSION

…>Gotta Practice
>Outlast and GLANCE
>Through the LOOKING GLASS,
…>MOVE PAST the View of
>.. BLACK-NESS!

...>ALLIES in this Galaxy
>Gathered on each END!
…>You don’t want this WORK,!?
>You’d RATHER go SLEEP - >IN!
Master of your CRAFT!
Or SURELY you’ll BE-FRIENDS with
>The other BATCH of WARRIORS TRAVELING WEE-KENDS!

…>MIRAGE! of the other side of ME? that
>You don’t have to KNOW,
…>RELEASE an AFTERGLOW after I drop
ACID THOUGH!
The TOXICOLOGISTS
>Won’t >EVEN shed RECONNAISSANCE
AVID FLOW,
Straight to your VEINS!, BUFFET BOTTOMLESS!

…>Snakes at the BASE,
>I can HEAR them, >shits, RATTLIN’
…>TATTED up, >FACE FAKES
And all the KIDS TATTLIN’
…>I’ll take the >BLEAK >SPACE, >that APPEARS more >CHALLENGING
>BETWEEN my >CAREER,
>...And the DREAM CHASE that I’m BALANCING

…>As I break DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS of THOUGHT,
ANY-THING SMOLDER-ING below my STANDARD gets TOSSED!
…>While you’re >ONLY blowing SMOKE like a FALSE FIRE!
…>If YOU’RE not a BOSS FIGHTER?,
Then you can SKIP the COURSE like a LOST-DRIVER!

FUCK being POOR
I STRIVE, >to ACHIEVE MORE!
Working at a FEVERISH PACE
I’m PRETTY SORE!
You’re a CURIOUS ON-LOOKER
So Watch the METAMORPHOSIS
>STAGE as I GO and HOOK UP?
>Internal reconfigurations!

...>TRANSITIONING
>From MOTOR-MOUTH to LISTENING
>Polishing THOUGHTS,
>WHILE the
>Outer Shell is GLISTENING!
...>SENSING >That the INTENSITY Doesn’t seem APPEALING
>BUILDING up to a MOMENT of GREATNESS,
>Breaking through the CEILING!

….>Pushing Past the Point of PAIN,
Like I’m DAVID GOGGINS!
>Made a PROMISE?
>I wouldn't be JADED?
By the WEIGHT of PROBLEMS
…>Consistently FADED for a WAY to STALL em’
>Taking a Vacation Away,
…>In a SACRED GARDEN

…>You Can’t DISSOLVE My mind, Cuz it’s Staying HARDENED
>If you FALL
>Get left BEHIND?!
>Only the LAME are PARDONED
>Thinking I can make it far
As I’m barely starting
>In my cave
Labored in darkness
For the rarest carvings
