Mad and the Roots

Gripped by the throat with tension Mad aggression pumping thru my veins Changing my complexion Pressing thru the world of small selections Fencing off the other feelings of oppression And while I'm resting I don't wanna wake But once my eyes open no time to hesitate To much bullshyt to escape It's not like I was born with a cape And even when matters are crazy but I refuse Not to be great I refuse not to turn the hands of fate And make the universe concave my way Been a struggle since birth Trying to live with these lies Told even since I put the me in time And now I got a family that's mine And I must throw away all pride And keep the dream that I breathe life to alive Hungry for what's never told was mine And told all the things that are above my level That's fine Sit and watch as I not climb but claw to the top Kick scream and holla at the stars That like to play against the odds Of the campaign of my cause Causing me to fall Causing me to look forward and back to remember where I came from Causing me to wayward this and carry on For that's all I know That's all that anyone been telling me How I'm wrong How I'm slow How I'm the one that love doing it the hard way yo How I'm the one that will fall flat on my face Lose my place Lose the initiative in which I started this whole thing Have me missing my template But they don't see I'm God sent Regardless Of all the bullshyt curse words and bombardment I will be in undeniable Came far from where it was that I begin Even with snow storms and hail pours I'm destined to win Even if I'm straight drowning in gin And gasoline was part of the triathlon that I had to swim The king is crazy So for my babies I will swim I will seek opportunity Watch it put away it's jewelry Sit back maniacally Schematic the whole the place Plottingly Run up n the place also smiling With no gun on the waist demolishing Any and everything That's my plan To overstand And not undermine what my mind will conceive For it's what I can grasp in my hand The whole damn planet Water sky clouds and granite And if too much for me to hold Just u watch me manage......peace
