[Verse 1: Cam Archer]
Yeah
No sleeping while my thoughts been leaking secretly creeping up
On ends that touch, stacking these duckets 'til I get papercut
A chipped shoulder from the file X, call Mulder
Leave Scully's shrunken destruction is one step closer
What was I supposed to do, told to alter views
From making dreams come true by older dudes
The reason we don't roll with you
Too proud of being the minority, assorted beings
Go to war with kings before losing points of authority
Turn self-doubt to a horror scene, not for the darlings
More from the margins, my creatures coming you see 'em crawling
My fear done away like King Kong gripping
Dope as a coke shipment, my pen winning this in a runaway
Never took side help, I belt to the moon
Soon as the sky fell it hit deaf ears, did it by myself
Progression over years to succession so in the end
When I make a place for my head, it rest above my peers
My opposition been gone and forgotten the cure for the itch
Of competition keep pushing me away from my problems
'Cause when it's time to go, I shine the most, remind them folks
If it wasn't for Chester and Mike Shinoda, I'd be a ghost

[Chorus: Cam Archer with Mike Shinoda]
I've been waiting all my life for it
(And you do it like this)
Winning this in a runaway
I've been waiting all my life for it
(Watch them flee, hip hop heads, take a walk with me)
I've been waiting all my life for it
From the bottom, now we headed to the top floor
Long as my soul fly, I can never fall
I don't need everything, I just want it all
[Verse 2: Cam Archer]
The rise is meteoric, skip the rhetoric
We progressing, steady moving foreword
Wouldn't be here if I was meek or lacked the heart for it
Get out the way if you're loitering my every organ tellin' me don't stay
It's time to advance in my hands, keys to right a wrong
When writing songs is to help me create somewhere I belong
That's what's safely in my haven like heaven but seems aloof
At a distance, my position was clearly lying from you (Woo!)
Wake up, sprinting when I hit the floor, son
I shunned jogging, dog, it's so much easier to run
Focused laser, who you placed next to [?] comparisons faint
I finally meet the greatest, where he be at
You figure nine o' nine, that be accurate
I hold on my balance with the darkness reaching for me
Continue breaking the habit, was young and bashful
The arc of Archer could've been tragic
From the inside our prince would rise but he isn't Aladdin
When nobody's listening, I'm penciling in the session
'til my hand numb and cramping from giving all my confessions
Knew that I would shine, had the glowing adolescence
2020 gave the vision for acknowledgement from legends
