Stage Fright

my feet aching, body shaking, knees weakening

when I get up front 
I get attacked by my noble subconscious 

my self esteem is lower than my toe print 
I just hope it understands
that's ima stomp it down

In this big black abyss 
ideas roam free n wild

my plot

I keep it discreet 
the world aint ready for what my thoughts submerge 
I consider myself a mental giant amongst my peers 
the funny thing is, everything else around is up to scale

still a beginner, I'm at the bottom of my league 
but I'm not worried, I cant be shook
coz I know I cant scale my way to the top 
and maybe freefall 
just to do it all over again 

its addictive 

I'm not different, yaul are the just the same
ima fine tuned automobile 
with a heart of steel
