Lyrics:

I let life pass me by with my head in the clouds
Until it’s heavy on my shoulders and I’m ready to drown
It’s like there’s no ambition and I’m sittin' around
Sippin' drinks while I piss away the minutes that count
But that’s life when you’ve always got your head in the clouds
When it’s heavy on your shoulders and you’re ready to drown
But if I die I’m letting everyone down
So I won't stop rockin' 'til I'm dead in the ground
Pick me up dust me off like a penny you found
Like you just went and plucked a tiny little gem from a crown
I’m givin' daps to the best in my town
And then I’m runnin' laps around the rest of these clowns
I’ll put in work and cut my hands to shreds
Just to come up with results that demand respect
I’ll never settle for less, I pull my heart from my chest
Tryin' to wear it on my sleeve, there’s no arms on this vest
I’m not a hater, I’m just hard to impress
And I’ve been tryin' to raise the bar so I can garner respect
In the end if I don’t make, well I gave it my all
And maybe then they’ll paint a mural and my name on the wall
Ignorance is bliss but I’m painfully aware
Screamin' I don’t give a fuck when I blatantly care
Everybody has a gimmick tryin' to make it and I swear
All I see is white flags and they're wavin' in the air
Cause I’m in it to the bitter end and gunnin' for the top now
You better hunker down I’m comin' to your spot
All these twiggy little cowards wanna suck up to their boss
But you’ll never catch me frontin' like I’m someone that I’m not 'cause
I’ve worked the jobs at the bottom of the food chain
Suffered through the years while regarded as a puke stain
And maybe I’m a sucker but I’d rather be a sucker
Than a sad motherfucker being shackled in some huge chains
Gimme the key or I'ma snap it wit my brute strength
Running over everything in my path like a loose tank
All I needed was a spark to produce flames
Every penny counts so it’s hard to refuse change
I’ll get a buck from nothin' and keep it a hundred
Climbin' til I’m under a couple feet from the summit
When the doubt comes back I'ma squash that bitch
Gonna scrape it off my boot and then I’ll toss that shit
Like fire in the hole, better fall back swift
When I hit ground runnin' and your comrades dip
Got a 50 cal. gunnin' at your squad cant miss
Like a buzz saw cuttin' up a pop can quick
Just when I figured I'd give up writin' I'm tired
Somethin' in me triggered inside ignitin' a fire
Of desire like a prize fighters eye of the tiger
Its ride or die from this second 'til the time I expire
And I don't ever plan on throwin' in the towel
Like nose to the grindstone focus of an owl
Might fall to my knees but I'll rise to my feet
Then I'll climb to the peak with a knife in my teeth and
Carry the torch 'til the energy depletes
And I'm swallowed by the dark when it's ready to feast
Chainsaw c-section from the belly of the beast
Leavin' entrails of enemies embedded in the street
Cause I'm never gonna die like a legend on the rise
Made of star dust spreadin' through the heavens in the sky
You're guaranteed to fail if you never even try
Fight against the pessimism don't you ever let it thrive
The past is dead, the present is alive
Every second that arrives is a blessing in disguise
Take it one step at a time, elevate and climb
To your potential its essential that you emanate and shine
