December 14th 1988, that was day/
Thats was the day that it all changed and they knew that it never be the same/
Tracey marie and michael leon had a beautiful baby boy, what was his name/
Something like sean michael leon his name it came with a legacy of dreams chasing till the day its claimed/
And they barely knew eachother but the love for this child and one another they created a home together to raise him/
And gave him 3 wonderful brothers a sister father and mother and cover to keep him warm when it was raining/
And they all shared love and they all shared pain in a broke down house infested with roaches spraying raid and/
They never had a lot of things but what they had was love and blessings from up above so no matter how bad it got they knew theyd make it/
But the second he left from it tho, he would feel cold, up in the world all alone/
In school he never fit in with other kids he would just play on his own/
They said was strange said he was weird, said that he didn't belong/
They called him an alien, said he was not from the planet and he should go home/
But the words didnt hurt, no , not nearly as much as the sticks and the stones/
The bricks to his bones, the fist to his lips when they stick him in lockers the kicks to his dome/
So when he grew old he grew cold angry and hiding a fire inside
That would burn him alive/
trying to die Laying in bed at night crying to skies/
that where suddenly empty god wasn't when the devil was through/
Maybe he had something better due, but it became obviouse heavens deluge/
Stuck in this position and he needed a physical fix and this isnt some fiction/
So fast he would take up a passion and that was a mission to give some shit thats worth listening to/
Imma get its a promise honest on this very moment imma go in showing everybody what time it is/
Clear up my sinuses allergic to bullshit spitting spinning a web like im spiderman on his vitamans/
Micheal on vikadin still performing and fighting it im fighter writer igniter of life im lighter than nitrogen /
And im Ascending and blending in this unendingness metaphysical spiritual cosmic beautiful life where in/
Yeah
And im admiring the view looking for the truth doing what i do its a hazmat/
The sad facts of a bad rap going with the flow on yellow brock road rocking a backpack/
Never sleep but taking mad naps cuz i'm dream chasing and imma get mother fucker im mad max/
Remember who struck first so you have that but im gonna have the last laugh/

Chorus
so can i ask you to close your eyes and dream of open skies far away
can i ask you to believe
so can i ask you to come alive and plummet from the sky bombs away
So clear the runway, make a sound
and it's all up hill from here
Clear the runway, make a sound
as you rise into the air
So take off 4X
They Told you to Give up our dreams all along/
Heres one for proving them wrong/
Verse 1
fuck destiny, i never ever let it get the best of me, keep testing me/
because i'm headed to the heavens up in a first class flight, and i did it on my own no extra seats/
i'm wilding, no co-pilot i'mma fly it on my own, i got this/
and i never learned to land cause its not in the plans, I'm never gonna come down keep watching/
keep watching, may weather in the ring keep boxing, throw jabs till i'm past it/
boxed in, but i think outside of the box, these four walls straight cracked and they smashed in
fast quick all about the green like traffic, if isee a stop sign i blow past it/
i dream chase like gunning for road runners with a rocket all up under my ass to catch it/ fantastic
you want more, more of an excuse cause i'm positive and sure
that a little bit of truth, with a lotta bit of force,
from a citizen with juice, and a positive rapport
with a little bit of luck and a lot of faith in himself is all he needs for the revolution
to get new spin, think big picture panoram when everybodiez zoomed in
zoomed in so don't nobody really know what the truth is
I'm take off to the skies with this music
i can do this get this movement moving
ohh shit get'em educated cause they clueless
its about time everybody got schooling its about time that i hit 'em with the new shit
its about time for a change huston we gotta a problem and I'm the solution
Chorus
Verse 2
you ever had a dreams didn't want to awake, becuz you life is a nightmare in the awe fullest way
you often awkate await till the top of the day, when you can finally go to sleep cuz you gotta escape
that was my life, pretty sad shit, and innetween the harts breaks and the bad shit
i found way they to escape from the sadness, i found away to relate with the madness
and thats why I talk to the youth, i'm here there through real shit talking you through
so hear it and feel it and follow it to, never live negative, I'm a positive dude
hella sick médecine that I'm offering you, heaven sent evident, with a monstrous crew
a repent when i went and i lost 'em to foolish, shit but I'm still following through
first i'll alopogize for all the times i let y'all down
you gotta know know, that you where you the fuel for the truth, that gottme to get'eoff of the ground, airbond,
and inbound destination impossible I'm unstoppable I'm point blank period for now
yess you were the fuel that i needed exceed speed of the barrier of sound and I'm gone
chasing chasing dream, cuz if you want it theres no waiting to be,
new streests and stages making a scene, new dreams new faces mak'em believe
cuz that what i came to do, so if you gotta deam gotta make it true,
its tough but i know that you can make it through but its all on you
Chorus 2x

Verse1
Today i woke up up, looked in the mirror i feel invincible
fuck they haters and cynical bitches miserable
i am in my prime I'm climbing up to the pinnacle
its crazy when we started this shit i was under minerals
and mr parker told me stay in my lane
but I'm feeling like superman you can keep mary jane
i'm on a higher plane i see you running a train
but im barebacking this beat raw fucking the game
nothings the same but i aint the type to complain tho
telling these haters eat your heart out kano
i found a new angle to blow something like a volcano
fuck a label I'm out to get them peso's
tried to bobby bushe me thats lame yo quit
on some fake old captain insano shit
i just do like mauhamed wasalu jaco kick
push through all these haters while i make those hits lets go
Chorus
So light a match, Ignite the streets
and watch it all burn down burn down
and watch it all burn down down
And stand on these rooftops and scream, Yeah
you missed the beginning
but now I'm gonna hit 'em with the echo
Verse2
I'm bout hit them with the echo
reverberating sounds of the click clack legos
from this legacy I'm building as tough as louis furegno
armstrong kinda like lance when i pedal
coming out the ghetto gepetto made me with no string
so i could give 'em the inspiration that hope brings
I'm changing shape from a man that believes he knows things
into a person thats just trynna learn where he's going
I'm rowing in this ocean of life
i'll go in the night courageous and hope for some light
I'm just sick of popping prescriptions fuck a dosage alight
when the only treatment to beat this diagnosis is fight
fight fight fight with everything that i am
and everything that i was before it even began
and damn i feel so infinite knowing I'm gonna die
finding forever inside of a second and i'm alive lets ride
Pre-Chorus
You know man it's crazy
they say that this lifestyle often makes people forget where they came from
but as for me, well… lets just say for the first time in a long time
i feel like… me
Chorus
Bridge
And you hear that sound, all around town thats me
and you hear that sound, hear that sound your free 2x
So wake up, up, up 4x
yeah
Chorus

Verse1
and i'm the last man picked… dammit
fuck'em no matter what happens imma be the last man standing
always claiming they hungry well muther fucker I'm famished
starved you'd think that i'd never heard of a sandwich
damaged act like i never heard of bandage
brandish each of the scars that i've been handed
just understand its more then a normal person could manage
and i ain't fell yet motherfucker i don't plan it
cause I'm the kid that they said was never sufficient
I'm living to make a difference and wishing for recognition
so kick it into ignition this vision simply existed
as dream that i manifested into a mission
and it seems that every single day is like an obstacle
but progression has showed me anything is possible
i feel unstoppable i'm moving through the rumors
and blowing up like a tumor your soon to learn is inoperable
Chorus
Headphones on with my head down
i feel invisible inside this town
so raise you glass lets toast
to the ghost, I'm transparent someday i promise you'll see me though
Verse2
The out there waiting, watching to see me backtrack
weight of the world on my shoulders inside a backpack
dreaming of tours seeing all states and it's sad that
They know i got drive but i couldn't afford the afflack
But imma get it i'm certain with the insurance that
i could survive a crash cause i know i got the endurance
Absurd as the road runner run straight through the pitfalls
or brick walls cuz i paint a horizon thats picture perfect
the fire inside of eyes burning, I'm yearning
repressed passion is smashing through to the surface
while working as if my life is a 3 ring circus the curtains are drawn
So león you say you want it, it's time to earn it
I'm running out patience from struggle to innovation
from Hubble to in a station in space in this elevation
I'mma make it no other option but hell
i promised the world but most of all i promised myself
Chorus
Verse3
(it's Mickey)
Raise your glass, put a toast in the air
For the most underrated the folks better cheer
I'm the pope with the quotes, thats dope for your ear,
needle in the headphones you can smoke what you hear
The culture is scared, The vultures Appeared
But i got it on my back, i'm the hulk if you stare
Real close if your vision isn't broke or impaired
It's so fire in the East cause the coast isn't clear
the ghost that you fear, plasma from a rapper
imagine casper acting mad with a tantrum
fathoms the opera Phantom with a mansion
abandoned like ships thats stranded in atlantis
or atlantic, triangle bermuda,
fly angel of the future, trynna make it a beautiful funeral
for the humans thats dying over the music
Make sure martin Luther's reciting reading my eulogy
Chorus

Verse1
Let me tell you a little story about me, and the place I'm from/
where no ones ever wrong, so everyones gotta yell over everyone and nothing really ever gets done/
9Years old with them headphones on turned up to the max, let the cd spin/
And hope to heaven that non of these loud shouts, from the bouts outside get in/
Cause, He's an asshole and she never does anything right, He's a dick she's a bitch so they scream and they fight/
all night, and i just sit by myself praying that this song in my headphones takes me away/
into a place where they never hit the kids, to place where you talk and they're listening/
to a place where i finally feel safe no marks on my face from a belt or a fist and it's/
Just another long day though, just another long day decades away from the days/
when i was sick and tired, fed up from the negative energy radiating from this house of pain/
and now i'm finally grown, and nothing ever changes, everything just stays the same/
thats why i never go home, why i gotta steal the show, oceans eleven when i take the stage/
thats why i loose my mind when the spotlight hits, in case you where wondering how it got like this/
in case you where wondering why i just can't stay, guess it's right that i left, cause i'm not righteous/
no i'm not righteous, i was raised with them jungle cats, where i'm from we aint raise no chumps/
so imma raise hell like the devil himself until this whole cord jumps/
lets go
Chorus
And i'm sick of all the shouting it's the same old thing
Caught up in this vicious circle this is yin and yang
the this you said to me, the way you yell at me
i couldn't take it suffocated by your energy
and it brings me down, down down 3x
and it brings me down, and it brings me down
Verse2
Close your eyes and cover your ears, thats my advise to anyone of my peers/
Don't let it penetrate your body and soul, don't ever let yourself give into the fear/
Don't ever let the negativity inside you, define you, find truth, even thick skin gets pierced/
The good die young, the weak won't make it, the strong set sail when them waves get fierce/
So i wanna see you raise that anchor, like poppy with his arms raised in anger, keep it saved for later/
So the next time when you feel like giving up drop it, swallow your pride with some spinach and go and pick it up/
They said you'd always be the last one picked, they want to see you fall down keep slipping up/
And Being underdog bites, but every dog has his day, and underdog was a hero baby so live it up/
So get up and show them you can stand, on your own let 'em know your a new man damn/
They told me no, told me that i would make it, but i made it this far that means you can and/
if they say no, then your probably on the right track, just follow the no's like toucan sam/
cause two can dance the tango, but dammit it takes one just to fight for your life like two van dams/
try to double team the order in this knock off blood sport, and when it's getting to you/
Just tell them you ain't a replicant and in the wake of death you can, pass the exam, and let them know you ain't expandable two/
Ha, Im Just telling the truth, with seven different references to tell you how to fight survive/
inside a house where the scream and they shout and they told you, you would never make it out alive/
but we're still right here
Chorus
Bridge
The Casablanca Lily, And the Dutchmans pipe
Two different flowers, that learned to bloom at night/
And if two different flowers, can bloom without the sunlight/
then no matter where you are or where your from, you can become anything you like/
Chorus 2x

This Devil Inside
04:37

Verse1
You must really find this funny, i'm sorry if i fail to see the comedy
i'd rather see the receive end of a damn lobotomy
then be a player in this mother fucking game honestly
I'm running out of patients like surgeons performing awfully
my life is not for you novelty
im a human fucking being not you side show oddity or anomaly
or milton bradley board game entertainment you gossipy
bottom feeding atrocity pieces of shit don't bother me
always talking shit but when you see me face to face
you aint got shit to say mother fuckers you plastic and fake
i just thought i'd write this song to remind you i'm on my way
and all that shit you did to stop me was in vein
remember the time that you shit on me, spit on me member the time
cuz i never forget, i promise i never forget it i'll never be fine
ill never strong, never be confident you should have known all along
that i'll never be what you expect of me never be right, you'll never be wrong
see i'll never be anything like the person you think i should be
i'll always be me, i'll always be caring compassionate free freedom is key
free as a bird way up high when he finally jumps from his tree
and finally takes to the sky learns how to fly and maybe i'll die but I'm ready I'm taking the leap
Chorus
and no matter where i go
no matter what i say or do
it aint good enough for you
So how can i breath
i can i be
how can i believe
with this devil inside of me
this devil inside
this devil inside of me
cause it's all a game till somebody gets hurt
or worse
Verse 2
see refuse to be a sympathy case so I'm never giving in
one life and i am living it
poison in my right hand poison in my left hand sipping it
cause nothing hits the spot like shot of liquor and cigarettes
dammit i feel alive more alive then i think i ever have
59 seconds from death and i've probably never laughed
a single laugh that was half as heavy as this
or cried so un ashamed over memories that i'll miss
in my chest is a gaping ass hole you could never fill
you never will so stop trying with better pills
if a prescription could fix it then its a physical sickness
but it's a sickness within a wound that will never heal
not a suture or a stitch or belt or a fucking switch
the love of a lovely women or bitch
could ever fix what been broken I'm beyond repair your not prepared
to hear the way that i really feel honest dear
they say I'm bitter damn right I'm bitter man i'm down right venomous
hella sick and it is evident
fuck it at least i'll admit it so this is the genesis
this is just the begging success is my vengeance
your failure is penance and medicine
i'll be what you said i could never nothing can stop me
receiving this benefit
not a clown in a rental whip not fake or a friend or a liar
your hearing my spirit on fire i'll never retire
i'll never fatigue till i reach my desire
I'm headed up skyward the skyline is mine
I'm ready its time
I'm taking the throne and letting them know
im in it to win it or die headed higher
Chorus
Or worse 3X
