Endless

I often try to analyze the times
Trials and tribulations got me pacin',
trying to figure out my destination.
Can i raise the monument before i face decimation?
 
I'm sweatin', waitin', can't figure out what I'm doin'
Pursuin' an education, won't let this vessel be ruined
Kind of funny how i pay to play a game called success
and in the process hope that i will rise above the rest
Like i gotta win, but man, it feels like a sin
Everything i was given diggin' deep beneath the skin and
I wonder what it all felt like in the beginning
Supression; mind state and i'm descendin'
 
I often try to analyze the times
Trials and trubulations, look at what i'm facin'
Keep moving; i'm scared to pause, behind me is Satan
Dreams move quickly, that's why i'm racing
Running so hard that Reality is chasing
Behind me; there is no fate ahead of me, there is no enemy
There is no anything endlessly,
There is only me, my pen, my world, my girl and a melody
There are no hands on my clock to strangle freedom
There is no caged bird in this mind because i freed him
So when i rhyme, penstrokes paint Eden
Invoke a spirit and beam the suns rays of healin'
 
But the cruelty of scrutiny drives me to lunacy
Can't find a strategy
Gripping and clawing, trying to maintain sanity
A thousand arms in every direction grabbin' me
If I define my own lines, everyone's suddenly mad at me
This is not creativity, they call it heresy
Dang, I guess i need more clarity
I could give you this, I could give you that
I give my soul expressed through wisdom in the form of rap
  
Dreams move quickly, that's why I'm racin'
Running so hard that Reality is chasin'
There is no fate ahead of me, there is no enemy
The future is so heavenly, I've found my destiny,
Flow against the river of time; give me life
I give you a sliver of mine every time i write
Cradle the crescent, conceive the adolescent
Past and future coalesce, and I form the present
