Lyrics:

Go and i move and i flow when i choose
see me living and dancing thru different melody tunes
til we go to the ocean and then just toss it around
and we would twist on the ground to all those beautiful sounds
and all these fantasy views make up for anything soon
because the dawn as it breaks it covers up all the moon
and i will sleep when im dead so all the dreams that come test
and now i strongly contest their deepest fiery breath
because we all try to fit in when we were born to stand out
i guess that could be the reason that you expect a hand 
and i will bring it to you if you just show me your room
she said we'll make it today because tomorrows in bloom 
i look at clouds in the sky the colors purples and blues
the yellows greens and some reds but the sun is going down soon
i have a vengeance for vanity vivacious as the insanity
to break the viral vacant dream upset by all the love thats been

i would lay my heart out up on the track like a map
i put my pen to the paper give you lessons in facts
in fact, i take it from beginning forward spin it all around back
and ima do this all just for the loving of rap
born in baltimore getting raw 1990 what i saw
im in awe new faces no goodbyes is what i thought
move to brooklyn new york city where they paint murals on walls
see tallest buildings in the air and rumble grounds pray as they fall
see i seen i meant i mean it aint leaving 
ima flow it to pieces til the world aint decietful 
we listen to sermons from pastors with reaches
and churches thats preaching these evils
i came up from nothing you know a believer
and now im on something yes i could be a leader
didnt take shit for granted blessin it was just needed
realized god wasnt there at my side like a heater
cuz all i need was a friend but yo that wasnt there either
cuz my life wasnt planned it was unfolding unstitching
and ripping at the seams as my mind its gone and its missing
all the years i felt a misfit for the days alone i kicked it
i know now what ive done for me and never will i miss it
they mixing religion and politicing all the dirty streets no cleaning
no help for the sick or homeless or the drug induced comas
just around the corners all the kids unheard of
starving dying for the knowledge that we just take from em
because if life was a woman then we'd be moving every day
i stomp my feet to the ground of rhythms in every way
cuz things aint ever coming easy but i really cant complain 
even though i felt some pain im not ashamed to say
i found my brothers cousins sister and my mother
all us people related but i wont ever meet my father
see my dad is in his own way so im doing this for you
just keep doing your thing i say and be true
see now im bending breaking and im taking tolls
this load it holds a broken home and i bring struggles on my chest
til im moving in the chains like false arrest
but now im on my own style in this great unrest
unruly foes around me less these people have the right to fight
so i keep it close to my vest and stay out of this mess
and i will shatter the best with my booming voice
dont give a fuck if im living i just want you to listen

i never ask myself why always learn to live and get by
hustle hard always saw signs just symptoms that no lie
all the days that i would get high
pick me up we'd be fine into the sky we would fly
living easy i try to not be something im not
but more be something i am i put my mic to this stand
im standing up im a man
and i will never unhand my voice from all of my fans
and i will give it to them just like i gave it to you
and ima show you the loving that i had for it too
and i will show you that i mean when i said and i screamed
cuz i been thru different stages of this life but i was dreaming
