"Gone" from "Identity Crisis"

LYRICS:

I’m steppin’ out, y’all. I’m gonna take a spin round in my brand new philosophy.
Cuz what’s in front of me excites and entices me. And makes me feel awesomely.
I’m gonna change the world just exactly as much as I allow it to change me.
And my world been blowin’ up lately. Lady Luck tryna date me and make a brown lucky baby.
I need a soapbox and a megaphone.
Put down your Botox and your metronome.
Can’t learn this shit from your smart phone, or a quiz show, or a talking gecko or world-traveling lawn gnome.  
I got a new home. I got fresh sheets. I got new freedom and some fresh beats.
I got a new lease. I got a new life. I think my head is finally on right. 

Ya gotta show love to your own brand.
Ya gotta make ‘em understand your brand.
Ya got your whole world in your own hand.
Ya gotta make love to the whole wide world, put the whole wide world in your brand.   

Listen. I’m steppin’ out, y’all. I’m comin’ big with my brand new swing set.
Cuz I’ve been workin’ and pushin’, I’ve been shufflin’ and hustlin’, just to get what I just now get to get.
I wanna take these skills, I wanna give you chills, I wanna be what I know I can.
Cuz if you give me some room, and let me bring my boom, the world will soon know a new man.
I need your love and your attention, please.
Put down your guard and your inequities.
Can’t learn this shit until you unfreeze from bent knees, and trapeze across your unease in a strong breeze.
I got some new clothes. I got some new skin. I’m more protected than I’ve ever been.
I got some new skills. I got a new star. Now you can take away the pace car.

I’m gonna wear bright colors again, with different specks every day of the week.
I’m gonna lead with my strongest suit, I’m gonna march to the beat that suits my own huge feet.
I’m gonna love like it’s my last day and there ain’t nothin’ left to lose.
I’m gonna choose to fill my own shoes, instead of getting confused in some other dude’s blueprint.
I’m gonna sprint to the finish, movin’ quick for a jollux, lovin’ watchin’ your faces as you watch the clocks.
I’m gonna block for my friends, cuz without them, it gets impossible to give one damn.
I’m gonna weave it all up into a banner for the people to see that ever doubted or left me.
I’m gonna shout it and you’re gonna accept me. They’ll hear about it and they’ll wish that they kept me.

Listen. If you ain’t just a little bit cocky, then you live your life like a chicken.
And when I started servin’ up my own brand, that’s, that’s when I started kickin’ dick in.
Now believe when I say that I’m well aware of the mountains yet to climb.
This rhyme is just a proclamation. A self dedication. I want the nation at my back this time.
Don’t wanna fight against the whole world.
Just wanna be worthy of a nice girl.
Can’t feel this shit until you uncurl from a tight ball, cuz the street brawl is kinda neat, y’all, and doesn’t hurt at all.
I got some new muscles. I got some new tools.  I got new ways to break the old rules.
I got some new moves. I got a new kiss. I think ya really gonna like this.
