The Hero's Journey

Humble Kid with dimmer fates
Big dreams, I never could finish plates
Ain't tie my shoes I'm in a race can't finish late
Mama taught me to wash my hands 'fore I ate
I'll take a break, tik tok, long enough
Token broke joke, shoes all scuffed
Turned blue, I found all the clues huh
Year old when I was around crack pipes
Fearful of people that act nice
Thoughts itchin on my mind like head lice
Head lights, bright
Starin' at the reaper in a white Porsche
Sword sheathed, replaced with a pen
Quiet Place, if you speak he take you with him
Hard not to see the evil within
Everything I write take a piece of my life
Every sin I write bring me closer to ice
Everything's alright why I feel the need to fight?
You know what they say after dark comes the light?
Alright

This journey should've deterred me
Never wordy, never felt worthy
Not religious, I'm always cursing
Superstitious, see spirits by the curtain
Wasn't searching felt God inside that painting
Love is life and life is what you make it
God what a statement
Guided by the light and I'm shameless
Said the future bright keep it stainless
People been blinded by the light got em brainless
Really been blinded by the stars and I hate it
Aren't you in charge can't you change it?
I try, who works harder than Satan
If ya ego get too big, he gon hang it
Ain't really over til the fat lady singin
Now we got a fat lady singin
Shouldn't have said that but Hell's what the states is
Swear the hero's journey makes me anxious
Why they have to send us on a slaveship
Where they gon take us on a spaceship
How many others thought the same shit?
How many others been through the same shit?
How many others become made men?
How many others cave and don't make it?
How many others have they taken?

I'm straight, spaced out but I'm constantly thinkin
Starvin artist but Starbucks can't make a million
My overactive mind been allergic to slumber
Psyche self destructive ego stay in the gutter
When demons knock I let em in
You feel down? Don't tell yo friends
They can't know the worst of it
You only think the worst of it
If somebody pop yo shit
If you up and call it quits
Hold up nigga get a grip, second guess yoself again
Gaze into the mirror face reflections of self
Poison in this bottle only worsen my health
Timmy in the well hope a Lassie would help
Echo in my ear whisper promise of wealth
Two hands outstretched on mother's we all blessed
Blue bills, blue checks, Red and Blue vets
No sets, chest reps, imposters among us
Versus with verses for those that have wronged us

I see demons with loose skin
From loose change my blues came
Can't lose him
Man made up time, don't confuse em
Shit in my brain, you could use it
But watch the way they gon view it
Nowadays they ruthless
I didn't choose this
