lyrics

Moving forward the only way that I know how
Got one foot in front of the other but right now I got my head down
It's at a time when it should really be like raised high
With my own optics absorbing every cloud up in the sky

But I'm right life can hit you on any single occasion
You could be the best goalie in life but there really is just no savin'
The foundation shakes and your whole world starts cavin'
Just be happy that you survived with just one abrasion

You live to tell the tale and go and tell the tale again
You like what I'm spittin' just go and please tell a friend
Quick with the wit plus I'm sick with my pen
The third verse, the inverse-the beginning of your end

Five times the MC, you can call me quintessential
You're not necessary where me-I'm fundamental
Occupy my third eye, this right here be no rental
And they were right, you know why? It really was so simple

(Chorus x 2 )
Beat by Beat
Breath by Breath
This is the soundtrack of your life

I walk on this path on my way to the palace
I wonder about this land I wish that I could ask Alice
The reasons for the pain, the hurt plus the malice
The truth is it's fictitious like that TV show Dallas

I got a flow that be sicker than dialysis
I grip this mic so hard you know that I got callouses
A style so hard I'll never know what Cialis is
And check it out I flow that's my analysis

So what's the mandate? Please follow that direction
I'm dope on this mic I got that unreal inflection
And if you're flexin' just for protection
Then I guess I've been seated up in this wrong section

So I'm a leave it at this and I'm leave no question
And I'm a leave it at this and I'm a leave all stressin'
Each and every time it's this mic that I"m blessin'
Within all these teachings I grasp every lesson

(Chorus x 2)

So as you grasp at the last straw like you were sitting on Albert Street
I put forth impressive flows that are so unique they're hard to beat
In life I want less beef, I've even tried to eat less meat
Positivity is what I like, the rest of that you can keep

I've been there, I'm saying kid I've lived that mad struggle
Gather around as I pound another chapter in the huddle
Liquified rhymes gather drops and then form a puddle
This beat be in your ears and your best friend like Barney Rubble

Amidst the rubble, yo it's me and I emerge
I never get clouded, yo kid I don't diverge
When I grip this mic is when I feel this power surge
I'm so dope I can make a silent monk say"word"

Handy with the pen plus I'm swift with the gift
Stop by my own mind anytime I need that lift
This ain't no riff, I got no time to be miffed
I form a shape and then my words shape that shift

(Chorus x2)
