Verse 1
No more talkin’ to these people they can’t hear me
I can’t expect acceptance when I hate that they get near me
So I pretend they fear me, but I know it’s me, I’m weary
It’s dreary, but so sincerely, I’m teary so much
That I could fill up Lake Erie
So here we go again, just a youngster and his pen
Tryna make amends, tryna make a difference
But they don’t see the significance
They claim resemblance to every rapper with chatter and lost innocence
The cost distances himself from everyone else
Who does it for wealth, he does it for health and that’s it
Never speaks past tense
On the road on his own while he screams catch this
¬Hook
I gotta keep on movin, keep on movin
No matter what I’m facin, what I’m doin
So many wrongs, all I need is one right
Searchin’ for the sunlight
This is my life
Verse 2
Staring at these walls makes me feel a little messed
I know that everyone has their bouts with emptiness
But I look around and nothin seems to kill the stress
Only thing I’m killin is what’s beatin deep inside my chest
Memories in life is all that we really have
They gon’ look back and say damn all the will he had
While all you frogs stay stuck on your lily pads
I’m soarin like an eagle like I’m ballin makin Philly glad
The cycle turns with every show and every new track
Everyone around me doin all they can to lose Nap
But I can do that, it’s so close I can taste it
Destination at all costs no matter what I’m facin’
Hook
Verse 3
Gotta break this cage, can’t take much more
Stuck inside these walls has me bitter to the core
These folks really think that life has gone and closed the door
Like one sprinkle of this rain and it’s bound to go and pour
How can I live with those decisions?
Like life was right there and I refused to go and live it
Now I’m starrin in the mirror, my age pushin triple digits
And all I can say is what if I did it different
That’s why you see me with a mic on this stage
That’s why these words come with loveliness and rage
That’s why if rap is my book’s final page
You can put it on the shelf and place flowers on my grave
