lyrics

Alright, let's admit it-we all got a past
And we all got a want to eliminate like half the cast
My moves are calculated I flow with that quick fast
And every time I spit fast it means you get picked last

What I'm asking is "have you ever slayed a dragon?
Drag it out its cave with its whole tail waggin'?
Count every victory no matter how big or small
Because one day the small could be all-

That remains, and yes it's history that stains
Harvest the crop as you move against the grain
Time lapse the past as you recreate the time frame
Erase behaviour formerly thought to be innane

No need to explain, show disdain for this plain
Sometimes I even ask myself how it is that I got the game
Locked up like cable on a Saturday night
I got a feeling it's going to be alright

Chorus:
Follow me, I'll take the lead
I'm living my life free
I choose my thoughts, it's such a delight
I tell myself that everything's alright
Follow me, I'm in the lead
I choose my thoughts, it's such a delight
Just tell yourself that everything's alright

Previously unknown, previously unreleased
Not talking about these raps, I'm talking about this beast
And how my soul prepares itself for that feast
As I walk my own path towards inner peace

Tread lightly no more, now I walk with confidence
When someone tells me 'slow down' yo that's a compliment
Just like when someone has a laugh at a paragraph
That I did indent with that ill intent I'm doper plus I kick the half

Dope raps I invent, rappers yo they resent
Like psychic thoughts all my raps they are what's called pre sent
I let go of my past I enjoy what's recent
Life is too short for us not to live decent

That's what we have a universal snapshot
I go through this life like I just won the jackpot
The weight of the world used to live north of my backspot
Now I choose the memories that make up the backdrop

Chorus x2

The elevation of ourselves, we all want to get there so quickly
But I got growing pains kid yo I'm Alan Thickly
Here's what quick be-and it's only just one notion
But what if our own lives moved in tides like the waves in the ocean?

But the currents of the sea were the ones that we directed
A life no longer segmented, divided, intersected
Find your best self then go and resurrect it
Champion your own soul and at all times just protect it

I persevered since the year before yesteryear and I don't mean to pester here but I came to make it clear
I spit raps at cats in hats with the lesser ear
Had caution in my voice plus torment and the fear
Always hoping that um they would hear
Boiling to the surface and now I do appear
I got the gear to adhere, grab my ship and steer
And with that same ocean in my eyes, I'm so glad you're here

Chorus
