lyrics

My problem is, I think too much.
Probably never find a way to break free from the clutch.
It's enough, to make me wanna give up,
but I bounce right back and I hold another chin up.
Professional wrestling couldn't even fake it better.
Maybe my defense mechanism isn't clever.
Encased in escapism from an early age.
Rap and comic books, the only way to get away.
Television dweller losing health, I better level up
Swelling cerebellum like I need a mental enema
In hell and I'm inhaling enough to kill an elephant
and now I'm levitating well above another element,
but anxiety snaps back sometimes.
The more I let it rattle it attacks my mind.
Getting in my way when I try to pass the time
Running after me it has to be I lack sunshine

Got a few loose screws. I'm trying to tighten them up.
Never been religious but I write from above.
Recently informed that I'm a Titan among
a bunch of liars with a mic and I've had enough,
but real recognize real and they're invisible to me.
Ill when I rhyme, spillin' blood pumpin to the beat.
Feel that I try still, hard even when I'm weak.
Only been alive long enough to be a dying breed.
Tired of a fraud without a bit of the spark that Jason has.
Fire is upon them for forgetting the art that made them cash.
Passion in my pen and pad, I'll never have to take it back.
Write it from the bottom of the pit of my heart. It's sacred rap,
and if I put it down somebody else will pick it up.
The proof is in the pudding. I could never get enough.
Everyone's a rapper now and they're all gonna make it big,
and I'm just sittin' back and havin' fun like I don't give a fuck.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Calm down.
Never been the time or place. Not here. Not now.
Save it for later. Filet it with flavor.
Let it marinate a little bit on some paper.
Therapy, it takes care of me.
More necessary than the air we breathe.
Looking for a little bit of clarity.
Why was I ever scared to be such a rarity?
It's so embarrassing to be a care to me.
Now I'm overloaded with disparity.
Yeah I'm different. Always been distant.
Freak of nature ever since I was an infant
Knew I wouldn't fit in with the other kids,
but I never ever knew it would come to this.
True blue, chock full of truth
leakin' from the lip like I pulled a tooth.
