lyrics

I woke up one day
Not feeling the same
I could feel this fire that was driving me insane
It was a desire that I just couldn’t explain
So I grabbed a lighter and blazed a paper plane
To make it fade away but it made way
To my main frame and their it maintained
Then I realized this furnace that’s burning is an ambition
That’s trying to find a vision
To guide me through my mission
The source of the ignition was still unclear
It posed a lot of questions with no answers to hear
I pondered it for years
Faced all of my fears
Put my pen on paper and it finally appeared
Who would’ve thought it was a rap career

(Hook)
When I close my eyes and visualize what’s inside my mind
I see vivid images of limitless arrivals
It’s vital for my survival that I strive for my goals
So I sit, reminisce, and list how life goes

But now I’m confronted with an ocean of possibilities
If I don’t get in motion I’ll sink really deep
With What I want to do I’m headed in the path of Ulysses
This odyssey will probably end up drowning me
But I got time to breath
Eyes to seek
And find Atlantis, buried below the observable planet
I gotta dig it up, plant it my mind, have it in sight, tell you what I find through the mic
What I’ve found so far, apart from gold bars, when I dedicate my time like Mozart, I work hard for myself
Straight for the music nothing else
This brain ima use it for what I feel
These chains that are fusing are gonna melt
Ima levitate and elevate, eliminating all the weight
Of living to assimilate because they tell you that’s the way
Put in a box and stocked away, ima keep my life and let it roam in my own domain

(Hook)
When I close my eyes and visualize what’s inside my mind
I see vivid images of limitless arrivals
It’s vital for my survival that I strive for my goals
So I sit, reminisce, and list how life goes

Too much pressure derived from being measured by how you look on paper
Be an intern and in turn you’ll get some labor
And if you do, things went in your favor
Ask your neighbor, he’s been searching and his effort major
Thanks papi, I appreciate ya
I know these past three years been sloppy
Stirred up a storm and made the sea real choppy
Now I’m not dead in the water, yes I’m still rocky
But I hope you know these sound waves are tsunamis
Engage the engines now time to get off the ground
Make a few people proud, with the product coming out
Your speakers, speaking to the dreamers
Who wanna be the achievers and currently are believers
You know all those plans you speak of?
Join me in the path to reach em
