[Verse 1]
Lost, and in pain
At a pivotal moment I'm trying to gain, some ground
Surrounded by the dark of the night, as dark as a knight
Just like a bat this music's my sight
Truly a gift from God, I'll thank him daily
And my faith is never wavering, no weapon shall impale me
However, feeling pressure on a scale too big to measure
I would inform my professor but he'd think me being clever
Although I'm probably wrong, I like to deal on my own
Just me myself and The Lord, my pen and paper record
Write how I'm feeling plus some thoughts and ideas
And you would think the stock unlimited like shopping Ikea
Through all the trials and tribulations I'm becoming the man
I am to be, apply the knowledge just so I understand
And how is he, suppose to progress while jogging in place
Here's a bomb, I got to make the dream no time for the chase

[Verse 2]
I write for myself, to learn I'm expanding the shelf
Plethora of books, experience exploring the nooks and castling crooks
It's chess, I have played as the rook, the knight, the pawn, the bishop touched the end and respawned
Return a king giving back how I can
But I would start from square one again help my fellow man
And see it's helping me too and I'm developing clues
I never grew until I knew I had a purpose to see to
Then all curses turned see through, when they left had a vision
In addition to commission I was earning a living
Through repetition came suspicion like am i really getting
All my convictions out this prison or is that just a given
Or is that just a smidgen, a part of what I'm supposed to do
And you know you're moving right when they're opposing you
Cause all the devil wants to do is get close and shoot
But this is war I'll seek The Lord to expose the true
[Verse 3]
The journey's long on the way just stay strong
This ain't a game like the Tron Legacy wrapped in a song
Remember me packing a snack before attacking the school work
And back home I'd nap, before relaxing the broom worked
See I thunk it as fuel but now I see that's a tool
Keeping me focused on point, for some it's smoking a joint
I say whatever you need as long as next you proceed
Take head, take the lead and discipline creativity
Need to leave the vicinity get away from the chatter
Grind some fresh experience and mix it into the batter
I cook it up then I platter and after that feeling dapper
But need to focus on the matter cause you drop it it shatter
Ladder up is always there but going down there's some stairs
Now I can climb or I can step or I can chill in the chairs
Say whatever I do, I got to move very soon
Here's my ride I need the room so leave my two on the tune
