"seems like my friends have left
they're just gone
on my way to ketama
and I don't even know where I am
is this here ketama?"

"it's hard to navigate if
there's no single ray of light
my thoughts fly like a spaceship
but which way is right
deep in the night
I'm seeking a light
that the darkness has taken away
well hidden inside
we're invisible blind
and I'm scared we won't see the next day"

Same

in the spotlight
or in my off times
even at the end of the very longest line
everywhere I'm the same
and I never gonna change for the game
I really keep it true
if you feel it to
and the only one who'll ever like my shit is you
I didn't do it in vain
cause I never made my music for fame

Shontez:
overly dedicated
pete gone roll a spliff
and it's overly medicated
it's time to get it
no more over exaggerating
no facades, no faking
or exploring your imagination
the crown is for the taking
2 5 on my back like my name reggie bush
knew I always had it in me
all I needed was a push
all I needed was a play
catch me on a off day
doing 2 on days
used to work them call centers
had me feelin' like a slave
had to take control
had to make another way
now I'm heating up the streets
like a fuckin' microwave
they resist what I'm saying
but I am not concerned
I am going out for everything that I deserve
and everything I earn
fuck what you heard
and fuck what they think
I'm here to take the throne
feel free to take a seat
spittin that we're 100 proof
feel free to take a drink

in the spotlight
or in my off times
even at the end of the very longest line
everywhere I'm the same
and I never gonna change for the game
I really keep it true
if you feel it to
and the only one who'll ever like my shit is you
I didn't do it in vain
cause I never made my music for fame

Paradise:
since I came & got my name,
there's no shame in my game
I sustain and never change
still the same beat is playing
everyday, all day
eversince my younger days
long before Mos Def became Yassin Bey
I can't wait and waste my days
you can't debate with haters where the love is
I say: "everything is everything"
they say: "everything is garbage"
so I don't care if I grow big as M. Marcus
if that shit's awarded
or if no one's gonna love this
cause that's the definition of an independent artist
who'll take the state of art to another orbit
just to make you listen to his vision like a lobby
this is my religion and my mission
no question I'm
overly dedicated
pete gone roll a spliff
and it's overly medicated
it's time to get it
no more over exaggerating
no facades, no faking
or exploring your imagination
the crown is for the taking
the crown is for the taking
the sound is in the making
the throne is locked inside
but I'm about to break in
when the crowd starts waving
and the town starts shaking
and they say I'm famous
I swear I see you through all these strangers 
and I sing a song for you
like the only one who ever liked my shit was you

in the spotlight
or in my off times
even at the end of the very longest line
everywhere I'm the same
and I never gonna change for the game
I really keep it true
if you feel it to
and the only one who'll ever like my shit is you
I didn't do it in vain
cause I never made my music for fame

In the spotlight....
and even when the lights go out...
even when the lights go out
I be the same that I'm writing about
a star without fame
mighty and proud
in the dark like a fighter
I'll be fighting my doubts
that's why I decide to keep my eyes on the route
I can do it and that's what I'm about
I'll be the music when the fade my mic out
I'll be the music when the fade my mic out
I'll be the music when the fade my mic out
