Verse 1 It's the dawning of a new era Tattooed, broken tooth in a new era I ain't where I'm supposed to be, it's a true terror I ain't tripping, I ain't cripping, but I'm glued mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall, do you remember me? Was the fariest of them all Then I dropped the ball and I was old and flat Sometimes I feel like there's nobody that can hold me back
And sometimes I feel like it's a rat, I'm living in a trap I'm giving all I've got, but they ain't giving nothing back I'm battling depression in my head I'm trying, but I'll probably be aggressive till I'm dead
And everybody knows of my addicted personality I chase my dream, but I'm not living in reality Cards just stacked against me, too much time lost God, please help me why? cuz I'm lost
Chorus It's pretty crazy when your dreams are so close You could touch 'em, now they seem like old ghosts And now all my memories are haunted Hope that they 'll remember me and maybe they still want it (*2)
Verse 2 Look I ain't got a lot of time left Got a team, but they don't seem to take no fucking giant steps I tried to tell them I could use a little help That's exactly what they give me, gotta do it all myself
Most rap perfomers are just transformers Pretend to be crazy, I pretend to be normal When listening to Mad they get immediately struck Then immediately after realize, he's really fucked
Look I got no disguise concentrating on my art Mentally demented, I'm a monster in the dark Little monster drinking Monster walking in the park With my dog stalking awkwardly, but obviously sharp
They're asking me to make a clubsong on Dubstep That's where the money at, but that should make me upset Maybe I'm focused on my pride a little too tough Or maybe I just love Hip-Hop a little too much
Chorus It's pretty crazy when your dreams are so close You could touch 'em, now they seem like old ghosts And now all my memories are haunted Hope that they 'll remember me and maybe they still want it (*2)
Verse 3 Yo! I've got a dark past, hope that it will disappear But with the internet they still see it crystal clear I need more time walking on the right path Because I've been fighting with myself, it's time to fight back
Damaged to my brain I've been damaged to my teeth All these damage on the surface, just imagine underneath And life can be a beach with a beach-chair Damaged goods broken down, need to be repaired
Hard for me to transguise the pain inside Doing drugs five years, tell it drained me dry And if I knew back then what I know now I would've saved up cash, would've slowed down
Would've spread love, would've gave back Would've help and show kids that there's a right track Would've kept writing, kept making music Kept BattleAxe, kept executive producing
But now I'm back and I am still alive So I will give it all I've got, till they feel my vibe I'm hoping and I pray they understand me Because if they don't, fuck it's too late to make a plan B
Chorus It's pretty crazy when your dreams are so close You could touch 'em, now they seem like old ghosts And now all my memories are haunted Hope that they 'll remember me and maybe they still want it (*2)
Outro I almost make it to the Top, then it had to stop
