lyrics

VERSE 1

Little footsteps

immortalized in history’s cement,

the horror stories come true, unless you got more than “intent”

Your starting reps are poorly written, there’s no way to repent

But thanks to improvising, rising check how far you done went

Ya rivals’ eyes on the prize

Your diving deep to survive

That reef-less ocean

Of constant motion

Of kids with guns reloadin’

Bold and focused, told that most miss

Their first SHOTS, throw in the towel

before their magnum opus

The speed of the climb is keepin’ young minds hopeless

But rhymes are still land mines

On the front lines, of the war zone

Known as “post modern times”

The hard earned pennies and dimes

and nickels of “common sense”

Of youngin’s searchin’ for more

become a living expense

The world’s a nasty place of happy faces painted on masks

And if you say it unironically, the internet laughs

The straight and narrow isn’t fair though

Got two lose-lose paths

So I choose to heckle myself

The method ain’t special, it’s math, ya know?




HOOK

Ragged, reckless, what’s your wisdom?

You had your riches, then you kissed ‘em

Goodbye

For lies, and pyrite skies

Rolling dice while never opening up your eyes

Atop this throne of sticks and stones

Bout a thousand miles from a hollowed home

I’ll shout

THRIVE.

SURVIVE.

YOU ARE ALIVE.

Don’t let 'em tell ya two and two makes five




VERSE 2

Rejection sensitive inventive kid, who cried as she’d make

I was defensive, sad, creative, planning every escape

I fled to gutters on the net to vent insatiable hate

Why should it alarm ya, suddenly karma hit me smack in the face

Sure I was utterly in panic

Pretended to wax satanic and dammit I almost had it but granted life never goes how you planned it

I couldn’t stand it

And never could hand it to the only souls emboldening me here on this planet,

Mistake after mistake of “I’m the victim, let me take”

And toward the spirit cheering for me,

Fear had made me a snake

I’ve put my share of shame to rest, but I chose my own coffin

I should have paid you what I owed you and said thank you more often

And god forgive me, if the shit outlives me

Damn, it just might

A rocky, less than perfect journey, yeah that’s music alright

Still I refuse to lose my footing, we ain’t even at half time

Cuz the proof’s in what you put in

Bet it ain’t special, it’s math, right?



HOOK



VERSE 3

And there WILL be mistakes

And there WILL be days of sorrow

Know WE’LL be knowing better

There WILL be a tomorrow

No road

Is loaded

With silver and gold, it’s just the treasure that you make for you



(Don’t we know it, oh)



And there STILL be minor villains

To KILL along the way,

you could FILL yourself with hate or

Be REAL, be on your way cuz

Life’s tough

But love

When ‘nough is enough

Could be the treasure that you make for you


Atop this throne of sticks and stones

'bout a thousand miles from a hollowed home

I'll shout

THRIVE

SURVIVE

YOU ARE ALIVE

Don't let 'em tell ya two and two makes five.


And there WILL be mistakes

And there WILL be days of sorrow

Know WE’LL be knowing better

There WILL be a tomorrow

No road

Is loaded

With silver and gold, it’s just the treasure that you make for you.
