|
Moshpit rowdy, party people shouting |
|
Crazy in the crowd but the silence is the loudest |
|
When Babs cuts the beat my ears still ringing |
|
The emptiness is deafening, the houselights beaming |
|
And the fans start leaving and the man starts sweeping |
|
It all seems surreal like I can't stop dreaming |
|
Bartenders and the soundman cleaning |
|
But minutes ago people were dancing on the ceiling |
|
Fiending for that buzz till the dawn breaks night |
|
I crash barely with the high but I still take flight |
|
Fighting isolation but I won't chase the fame |
|
But moths can't help it, born to chase the flame |
|
Twists up and sips up and to erase the same |
|
Darkness served with the bitter taste of pain |
|
Raised in Hollywood but real life is more than stranger |
|
It's the sun shining from my California manger |
|
I never thought that life was gonna be this way |
|
But every battle I fight makes me stronger ever day |
|
And Lord knows I've been through some low valleys |
|
Even though my clothes are torn, my pride is strong |
|
I'm still king in my crown of thorns |
|
I cipher to the team, mixtape to a family |
|
I battled the hustler's hand with my life, gambling |
|
Redirection is the key to fifty-two choose one |
|
Baby born with black magic, maybe time to use some |
|
Now I'm the only thing stopping me |
|
Elders told me "walk free" when they gave me prophecy |
|
But that option was not to be |
|
Though I did know it can be difficult to talk to me |
|
Yeah we could have done more probably |
|
But we did what we did do properly |
|
Now I'm older than I thought I'd be |
|
I'm holding less property and money flowing awkwardly |
|
But blessed with a spiritual empire |
|
Inspired to purify em, I just fan the flames and fuel the fire |
|
Tick-tock, no time to live life scared |
|
Spread my arms like Christian Hosoi, Christ Air |
|
I never thought that life was gonna be this way |
|
But every battle I fight makes me stronger ever day, yes it does |
|
And Lord knows I've been through some low valleys |
|
Even though my clothes are torn, my pride is strong |
|
I'm still king in my crown of thorns |
|
In the room full of mirrors I sit and reflect |
|
So I can correct any defects |
|
Ev told me I could be more emo |
|
Then I just laughed and said f**k that, we need more Primo |
|
He nodded in agreement, ashes on the cement |
|
Feet to the pavement walking on the deep end |
|
Messiah footprints all over the industry? no love for the enemy, rappers are puppets |
|
Look close just see the cables |
|
Look up you see the hand |
|
Look back you see the labels |
|
De facto lawyer learn to read the fine print |
|
Learned the Latin and Shakespearian that contract's in |
|
Expansion team still scoring at will |
|
Angel's the old Cristo Redentor in Brazil |
|
Even so low the family that I brought is real |
|
F**k the rumours, Dilated got it on lock still |
|
I never thought that life was gonna be this way |
|
But every battle I fight makes me stronger ever day, yes it does |
|
And Lord knows I've been through some low valleys |
|
Even though my clothes are torn, my pride is strong |
|
I'm still king in my crown of thorns |
