Lyrics
Hey, it's the same once again
Microphones fully loaded and friends
Funny I tried to make this end
But it seems I've returned in the name
It's the same once again
Microphones fully loaded and friends
Funny I tried to make this end
But it seems I've returned
I know I said I'd exit, but I couldn't do it
The minute it flowed from my lips
Futures can't exist in the pastime paradise
Rolling dice, holding Christ on a platinum chain
Surrounded by ice, Sisson Osiris
You can't deny this, because the light has
Broken and tokens have been replaced by legal tender
Great pretenders tried to ascend my agenda
I dismembered their thought patterns
And now they move in circles like Saturn
Spinning out of orbital formation
The radio station is hating, so my motivation
Is the pen and the pad, only friends that I had
But the light cannot be seen
I'm a fiend for the rap game
And skating 'em like I'm figure eight
That move, an articulate shadowboxing appeal
What is real isn't relative, just relatively revealed
That's why I sharpen these words, stick you like paper cuts
And direct visual images like I'm Julian Lutz
What's the name of this runaway train?
We call it thought, harassing the brain, driving humans insane
This thing called the rap game I'm claiming insane
Lyrically I'm arcane and such is paper cuts
Cataclysmic mystic with a Bic
Don't need a click, got a diamond mind
Gotta take it back to the heart attack
That I felt when I saw the sign
Coming down from the sky like a supernova Jehovah
Got a crib and a Land Rover, but so what? I'm not sober
Just taking sips, but I don't skimp
Just making trips so I don't tip
These paper cuts just ain't enough
They making hits that I can't touch
Just look at Hammer now
My grammar is tighter, provider
Enlighter, freedom fighter, rhythm rider
And rapping's a... I kept you, don't try it
Because you can't buy it
I saw you gripping and slipping
And fool I'm so tired
Of snake MCs and you best believe
Got tricks of the trade but enough of speed
And I pray to you God when I'm on my knees
And I can break and cut this paper, paper
|Dummy||nolang| yes yes yes feels good and it feels so good to be here
But the fact is, we are not using our minds
The way we should be, ahh, so sad
But such is life, every man controls his own destiny
Or so he thinks
So, have you ever wanted to be free? Freedom
Have you ever wanted to be free of your emotions?
No, no, no, no, no, sorry
Have you ever wanted to be free of
Wanting to be free of your emotions?
Riddle me that
Now, Kaos, or Kevin's in the back over there
His ego's getting up
You know, I always tell that boy, "You drink too much"
But he's just (He's what?) He's just, I don't know
But he's over there, he wants to get on the mic
And I guess (Uh-huh) I've already (Already what?)
I've already freaked you out enough
So I guess we'll go back to reality
Or so you think (Right)
I'll be back next time (Yo, whatever you say)
Yo, Kevin (That's my name, what, what's up?)
Do your thing (Alright, check it out, yo)
Introduction, microphone holy roller
Remember my mother used to push me up in the stroller
She used to watch Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda
While my pops took apart machines by Motorola
I'm bipolar, in grade ten I took granola
Bars to school and played rugby with Jimmy Stoller
I got older and the planet was getting colder
Felt like Luke Skywalker lost without Yoda
Soul controller, only Black kid in my grade
Rocking the fade, no doubt those people didn't know the
Pecking order, so I read books on yoga
And prayed to my heavenly father for him to show the
Way to the yellow brick road, the episode had
Got me caught at the dock of the bay just like Noah
But now I'm over the fatal suburban coma
Big up Fatski, Mavell, my man Moka, check it out
Lord, help me find a way to deal with the pressure
'Cause these people just don't know
At times I want to go away from here
And life can be a sad song
But don't you fail or cry
'Cause God is in your eye, not in the sky
But you don't believe there's a glow
'Cause we suffer so
It's 'cause we try
