Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
The more shit changes
The more shit stays the same
Sitting alone in the dark feeling lame
Like I’ve lost the game
I need to reframe
How to go against the grain
Reformat the perception
Attack the reception
I gotta stage a comeback with a bloodbath
On the warpath
That’s how I have to adapt
And expand what I broadcast
To make the biggest impact
I’ll write paragraph after paragraph
Until you want my autograph
This is exhausting separating the wheat from the chaff
I’m a one man staff and I laugh
Cause I feel like a short necked giraffe
My life is incarnate Hip Hop
You can fucking take a polygraph
“I am Hip Hop”, you would read it on my epitaph
If I wasn’t immortal and infinite
Murdering instruments
It’s imminent
I’m militant and infamous
And with Hip Hop I remain intimate
[CHORUS]
Nothing changes if we don’t change it
If I could manage a rewrite
I’m almost out of sight, fading into distance
This resistance, I’ve risen to have given
All the wisdom I’ve written
I cry, my eyes get blurry vision
Listen, I’ve done all that I could
I don’t revise shit but maybe, maybe I should
Maybe I should
[VERSE 2]
Well, come on, spit it out
Scream and shout
I’m too down to make it loud
Thirty and I’m still searching for my crowd
Crowned, but I’m surrounded by a black cloud
Endowed with a bloody shroud
This invisibility cloak
I’m Still Here
But is my life a fucking joke
I don’t toke the weed smoke
It’s just offense that I evoke
And I feel like I’m the only one who’s woke
They’re all snoring and I’ve got the stick I’m trying to poke
Them all awake but I grab some poison oak
Does that mean I infect everything I touch
Inject the heroin, get a rush
If I wasn’t sober I’d be a lush
I get flushed, make me gush
I’m in love with her, it isn’t just a crush
Don’t tell me to shush, I’ve got my paintbrush
Calligraphy some verses, crumple it up and scrap it
But I never do that
I don’t revise it, I don’t rewrite it, I don’t change it
I just rap it
[CHORUS]
Nothing changes if we don’t change it
If I could manage a rewrite
I’m almost out of sight, fading into distance
This resistance, I’ve risen to have given
All the wisdom I’ve written
I cry, my eyes get blurry vision
Listen, I’ve done all that I could
I don’t revise shit but maybe, maybe I should
Maybe I should
[VERSE 3]
Let me hack into the Akashic record
I’ll revise it that way so I’m not ignored
Change my future so I win every award
You’ll hang on every word I perform
If you don’t you’re not informed
I’m battling through the Perfect Storm
The Shadow Storm
Sometimes I wonder what the point is anymore
When I’m so alone on this throne
Blown through so many time zones
Like a cyclone that’s lost it’s juice
Sitting on this black cube
I’m nude, contemplating all the songs I’ve accrued
Feeling secluded and excluded
Am I deluded to think I should be included
Now I’m rooted, renewed and imbued
With a new aptitude
An attitude that I’ll never be devalued
I’ve no need to collude cause I’ve got the fortitude
Y’all sleeping on me is just an interlude
Before my magnitude
You watch, my fanbase will be a multitude
To break my solitude
Don’t give me platitudes
I’m feeling fragile like a house of cards
I’ve been broken to pieces
Time to pick up the shards
Cause I’ll be the one that you regard
And from my worldwide tour, I’ll send you back a postcard
