Metamorphosis

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lyte] Problems, you know that I got 'em But I won't rot at the bottom I feel liketheJoker from Gotham Lytereally out of his noggin, keepwatch, keep watch Look at all the scrubs that do love to box and detox (Detox) Time to get rid of them drugs and toxins So I'm plottin', never stoppin' 'til I'm reachin' the top Tell me do you understand what I'm speakin' or not? Pay attention 'cause you floppin' and I'm teachin' the flock Failure's not an option when a priest on your block And I ain't lyin', I'm grindin' tryin' to pay bills for brokers Perfect timing, I'm shining try to make mills, but no No denying, I'm dying, my rhyming skills are dope But kills the hope, fuck it I've got pills to cope I need to (Need to) chill and smoke Come real with folks 'til I'm ill or croak Bitch I'm still the goat You heard me, heard me, 'til I'm dead or laid up on that gurney Forever my team riding dirty So follow the Lyte and come join this journey [Chorus: Madame Macabre] I've had my fair share of sorrows (Sorrows) I've lived others' dreams but not my own (My own) So here's to my brighter tomorrow (Tomorrow) I'm so much more out on my own (My own) Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now?) I've become every doubt you ever had in me When you see me now (When you see me now) I'll be so much more than what you thought I'd be [Verse 2: Lyte] Bitch I'm on a mission, never stopping the vision Now listen, can't you see a ninja in the perfect position? I'm certain the mission ain't gonna need a principal mission To tell me this another step and put the trick in submission I'm working the system, I'm hurting you, wishing that I would fall flat Get back up and do again, that's what they all lack Never giving no dedication is what you call that No more waiting patient, my headache can make a small crack Placing on the ball, bet you're numb to pain To dumb your brain, what are you umm? Insane I got none to gain, this rum to blame It's time for this bum to change and run the game (Nanana) From underpaid to hunger pains I feel that something to say so I come to claim And if not that drum will bang I don't give a fuck about a ton of fame Trust me though (Trust me though), it must be solved (It must be solved) If I slip, my clique will pick me up and dust me off And put me back on the path 'cause this road We made it whether I'm blowed or faded, that's a no debatin' bitch [Chorus: Madame Macabre] I've had my fair share of sorrows (Sorrows) I've lived others' dreams but not my own (My own) So here's to my brighter tomorrow (Tomorrow) I'm so much more out on my own (My own) Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now?) I've become every doubt you ever had in me When you see me now (When you see me now) I'll be so much more than what you thought I'd be [Verse 3: Lyte] Got an angel and a demon in my ear And I don't know who to take advice from And it's all becoming so crystal clear That I'm cold as ice numb And this life comes with a price and I sacrifice tons Just to live a nice one, I'm fightin' just like Tyson I'ma roll this pair of dice 'til paradise come Telling me to quit and give it up, your advice dumb Working years of life away for something that ain't guaranteed Apparently they swear to God they care but disappear and leave Y'all here to breathe, where is he? Seriously I dare he pleads Tell me to my face that I'm the one that you can bear to see Now answer real, hit me hard just like a cancer feel Same shit, different day, look at me stuck in this hamster wheel In circles like a racetrack for the money I need ASAP In a place that I can be myself can you tell me where that place at? It's right here, it's a lightyear, we finally won baby I put that on my son, my life done took a one-eighty [Chorus: Madame Macabre] I've had my fair share of sorrows (Sorrows) I've lived others' dreams but not my own (My own) So here's to my brighter tomorrow (Tomorrow) I'm so much more out on my own (My own) Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now?) I've become every doubt you ever had in me When you see me now (When you see me now) I'll be so much more than what you thought I'd be
