lyrics

You`re looking for a reason, best believe me I got many
I been searching for my own self since yo I was 20
Discarded every thought that everybody ever lent me
Replenish my soul with these rhymes kid, I got plenty

With that efficiency, I execute proficiency
Never could take a compliment, even though I was fishing see
I check this clock and take my rod up out the water
I look up at this new world through the eyes of my son and my daughter

And realize that I had my eyes wide shut
But I`m no Tom Cruise so I put away that strut
I was the only one who could take me up out of that rut
Skip the rep of that two step and just follow my gut

No more aviators, no more want for all those gators
Done with my emotions going up and down like elevators
Threw up a peace sign, said later to those escalators
Now I drop prose with flows deeper than the moons craters

(Chorus)
Don`t you worry. yeah x 4

This here`s no email yet I impale when I attach this, attack this
I got that passion that is undivided
Send a shout out back to that cat who wanted to rap but then declared a gap, sat on the fence and said ùndecided`
Get on your horse, grab your saddle and just ride it
Light lipped with that tight grip and you`ll write better than I did

Vacate the hate so you can relate back to that little boy with every rhyme you expectorate
But don`t expect a rate, that`s the part that`s really great
Check the date, accept your fate, drop the mic-checkmate

Recognize that this game it never really ends
Look inside as you abide then go collect the dividends
Life pays you back when you invest your interest
Give all you can, take what you need but then yo leave the rest

The consequences you perceive are inconsequential
Your self, your truth are what is fundamental
Spirit, mind and body they get honoured in the temple
Return you to you because it`s something like a rental

(Chorus x 4)

The attitude of gratitude knows no latitude
Stay true to you and guess what you`ll be no longer rude
Polar opposites conflict, then attract with a multitude
Until you embrace the fact you`re really just a multidude

With capabilites that accentuate your abilities
Until then, represent every time that you spit your steez
Walk that walk plus that talk that you be spittin`
You can freestyle all day or speak with the written

Slay these words, rip verbs with every showdown
The constructions all over now`s not the time to slowdown
You`ve done a lot of telling, it`s time to show now
Be open to this world and show them why it is you`re pro-noun

You got love for the language so handle that with care
No longer that Gent but bet the flow`s still debonair
Paper and a pen for when your heart feels that tear
You`ll leave em all saying ``Yo, I see what you did there``

They won`t need glasses, not even a prescription
Bring your real self out kid, renew that subscription
Skip the encryption, relish the old addiction
No code to see here, why it is-your depiction

Forget those actors, forget the moving pictures
The faucets might be leaking but they're still the fixtures
And the elixirs, nevermind those fixers
You have the potent potion just remix all those mixers

And surmise the disguise never came from a recipe
It was every ingredient before that gave you the best of me
It's tough to ingest when you invest all you see
You don't need my permission on this mission-let it be

Instead of the previous with all that constant looking
Grab the mirror of introspection and then take a look-in
In that time of reflection you can see who was the boss
A decade of dilligence now you decide the cost
Past notions and beliefs they all get tossed
But how can you find a thing that was never really lost...

(Chorus)
