lyrics

Create the world
That you and I
Could be living in now
In a wonderful life
Even if you thought
You would never design
You should never resign
We could never decline
I’ll break my back
I’ll break the bank
I’ll break my heart
Just do my part
I am here until
I got nothing left
Nothing ever lasts
If we never start

If we never start
To create the world
That you and I
Could be living in now
In a wonderful life
Even if you thought
You would never design
You should never resign
We could never decline
I’ll break my back
I’ll break the bank
I’ll break my heart
Just do my part
I am here until
I got nothing left
Nothing ever lasts

We all start
The same in the beginning
Just a thought a father had
And never written it
He told me
that Id be more than infinite
Start off as liquid
And End up ubiquitous
I was sick of him for telling me
That every enemy
Was just another victim
And I
The remedy
Drew blood
When I first talked back
Handed me a mic
And then he said
To spit in it
Once written it could never be erased
So I never wrote a line
I was afraid to make mistakes
Even God made darkness when he created light
So at the end of the night
I’d learn to fail in his grace
Before I ran tracks
I would fall on my face
Made a terrible beat
But today that aint the case
Stop setting the bar low
You aint a star yo
This is not growth
But it’s a start though

Ready
setta
go
Countdown
To reset the
Flow
Create the world
That you and I
Could never
Forget to know
Set the note
To a higher state of eloquence
I can do what nintendont
On my genesis
I can do what nintendont
On my genesis
On my genesis

I am living the dream
Just a brother from the illipines
Everytime I got to cut a beat
They call it guillotine
This ain't a euphemism so that you’d abuse it
But is a metaphor that I can kill it in the music
And right now I just want to be me
This canvas
Is my face on a green leaf
Spray painted in white ink
In no particular
Order
We are what the stars look up to

But more than
Northern lights
I am an
Organism with an overbite
If you need it you can have my
Endo reticulum overnight
Giving it to the limit
Im in it until I own the right
To go and give life
Through the pen
Better hold it tight.
Look in the lens.
Use less light
When I’m useless
I’d
Be the first to abuse
And confuse this
Aite?
So grab a pad
And use this.
Write.

Ready
setta
go
Countdown
To reset the
Flow
Create the world
That you and I
Could never
Forget to know
Set the note
To a higher state of eloquence
I can do what nintendont
On my genesis
I can do what nintendont
On my genesis
On my genesis

Create the world
That you and I
Could be living in now
In a wonderful life
Even if you thought
You would never design
You should never resign
We could never decline
I’ll break my back
I’ll break the bank
I’ll break my heart
Just to do my part
I am here until
I got nothing left
Nothing ever lasts
If we never start

If we never start
To create the world
That you and I
Could be living in now
In a wonderful life
Even if you thought
You would never design
You should never resign
We could never decline
I’ll break my back
I’ll break the bank
I’ll break my heart
Just to do my part
I am here until
I got nothing left
Nothing ever lasts

Ready

Countdown
To reset the
Flow
Create the world
That you and I

On my genesis
On my genesis

If we never start
To create the world
That you and I
Could be living in now
In a wonderful life
Even if you thought
You would never design
You should never resign
We could never decline
I’ll break my back
I’ll break the bank
I’ll break my heart
Just to do my part
I am here until
I got nothing left
I got nothing left
