[Verse]
My a-alikes are lifting up such glasses
Shining, rays of light, living amongst madness
Our ways of life are typically gun-clapping
To get what you want, pop the clip in and dump at 'em
What happened? That's American as it gets
You ain't aware of it? It's embarrassing as it's sick
See our arrogance is a sickness with no cure
Sorry, I'm drunk, I'm a dick when I'm sober
I'm so sure of the shit I drop
It's got me feeling like the whole Earth is my litter box
And we're getting guap now, we lock down the city
They wanna talk loud... not now, I'm busy
I'm tryin' to get my chips right
Don't worry if I fist fight, I'm willin' to risk my sick life
Over nothin' at all, no frontin' involved
And no runnings with the po's, duck the customer's call
So paranoid, here we go again
Now the music's hot
Cause I'm out through the box that they tried to close me in
I've seen it openin' up, I put my feet to the ground
A breath of fresh air, the King of the town
Not really, I'm just sayin' that they're equally proud
Wanna tour the city with me, I can lead you around
Look, I'm tryin' to build somethin' they can't tear down
But I can feel it in the air, I'm aware now
I feel like it's all comin' to a precipice
And I'm reachin' out towards a goal that I'll never get
Fuck it, it's all about the journey, right?
Earn me stripes, feeling like a bird in flight
But, little did I know I'm free-fallin'
An impact won't rid me of these problems
Pursuing rap, they told me to be cautious
I threw it to the wind, they tryin' to eat of this
For too long my crew strong, so move aside
Plus who am I to move on? It's do-or-die
Call me obsessed developed in the music life
Tryin' to convince myself I still have a human side
I discovered the truth
Tryna calculate my work outside of this, it doesn't compute
Huh, it's kinda sad, but shit, don't feel sorry for me
And trade tomorrow for me
My train of thought'll be departin' shortly
But how long I'll be gone is not important
I guess it's what I always wanted for me
Look, I'm tryna build somethin' they can't tear down
But I can feel it in the air now
So say good night, I'm glimpsin' up at the galaxy
Shining, rays of light, livin' amongst savagery
Our ways of life don't reflect what I feel inside
Losing touch with the world, feelin' villainized
But I'ma do my thing until I die
Set my ceilings high, livin' in a lucid dream with no Vanilla Sky
I'm really tryin' to see a silver linin'
Maybe I'ma hallucinatin', you can blame it on the silicide then
I'm filled with pride knowin' the wisdom of Kings
The innocent's seen, and the children eyes are still inside me
Feel the vibe, yo I'm running on E
Cats are getting gassed up just to underachieve
It's kinda funny to me, I'd rather be about it
In the home of the trees this seed is sprouted
Now I'm thinkin' cloudy
My whole demeanor is fresher, I gotta lead this prowess
And I've seen defeat of the pressure when I'm bein' doubted
[Outro]
My whole demeanor is fresher, I gotta lead this proud, see
I've seen defeat of the pressure when I'm bein' doubted
Tryna build somethin' they can't tear down
But I can feel it in the air, I'm aware now
Uh, uh, I'm aware now
Uh, uh, I'm aware now
I can, I can, I can, I can
I can feel it in the air, I'm aware now
