lyrics

What have you mastered?
My last trick was faster
Move past death; We crash wrecked.
But nothing's set in stone,
We asked if we would have lasted in past tense,
Is that your last breath?
What are you waiting for?
I could’ve been in that great unknown
But I could not stop just to break a vow
That I'd try to be the best man alive
And it's sad to see that ya’ll rather not
Wanna rush to jump but not take the time
So now take the bow.
I’ma end it now.

Catch your breath
You need it more
We need to know.
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I want to hear you roar.

Where you at Asian America?
Had to move Far East to hear us on the stereo
Forty years since “EnterThe Dragon” and we let that carry us?
I'm mad enough.
Fine little island person and I'm having none.
Fire; water;
Even though I'm drowning nowI can erupt.
So ha-ha, we just got done; goodbye now?
Come find out.
Stackin up like pai gao
Go with the gut but I'm tactical
What're you holding your breath for?
Can't lie down if you're standing up.
Now I fell bad,I was hurting; Laid off
Every daylate so I took a vacay
So I could lay down and contemplate fate
But I prayed and living every day is a pay off
They could say I came back from the grave
Draw life like a purple crayon
I will run harder and farther
Than the line that every circle stay on
So play on.
Everybody got a reason they should stop
Even as I write this I got to ask is it hot enough
To get me to the top, Will I drop or not?
But not for naught;
And not for nothing
Gotta fight hard to find the last breath
So I could take death while I stand for something

And the last time back
You said
Next time that
You would last for all of
Eternity
Don't turn on me
Catch your breathe
You need it more
We need to know
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I want to hear you roar.

Flip on the laptop, big identity switch I'm a mascot
And that's to my own wit and a back drop
Another switch and I sit on a cash crop
A better grip then a sip of the last scotch
Then it hits and I trip when they dance by
Give a tip for the lip, little ten spot
Then I cringe, gotta dip to the franchise
Head spins when I rin tin tin to the train-spot
Arrange it within, put a check in the blank box
I'll mock mock mock you in a generous mood
Then regenerate you and your robots
When I got this oxygen
Start feeling better when the toxins win
The way paved when the prophets sing
Got my arm raised in a boxing ring
Burn another CDR
Giving CPR to these CB stars
Drinking PBR in a Tiki-bar
Eating CBR with a mean streak hard
Buy a VCR, play antique guitar
Thinking we be charred, really seems bizarre
When the weekends are in a decent bar
Then I plead retard
Get a free recharge in the sequence
This art form's on point
Like a dartboard you can't avoid
But a sharp sword we can enjoy
Harpsichord for a sullen droid
But without air, I'll love the zombiance
Arise, didn't think rebirth would be so gruesome
They said it took balls so I grew some

And the last time back
You said
Next time that
You would last for all of
Eternity
Don't turn on me
Catch your breathe
You need it more
We need to know
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I want to hear you roar.

This is thin air.
Exhale with an accent
I could sit here.
Suffocating Like I'm in the deep end
Where the beat bang bang bang,
It's a wasteland.
I have been there.
Hold your breath; Gotta inhale.
Got to get growth like I would've let go.
About three years in the making
But I'm taking steps to continue,
Everyone is waiting.
Hard to be the one when you feel like a part of me
Is atthe bottom and I gotta need a lobotomy
I don't want to be on my last breath
And my bad debt is the only one to follow me.
So I start at the crack of dawn.
The sky still black; Mastadon.
Pass it on to the next wannabe Galactus
Acting like you don't want to be attacked at all
Find me a lyric to be snackin on;
Toast wheat
Jelly peanut butter,
Better wrap it up.
Remind me when you had enough.
I’m still standing up.
Two Xanax and I'm getting live
And we getting loud within a half an hour.
I could never rest on the weekend when you hit the peak and you're tappin’ out.
I could never doubt that I'm living everyday like I'm not a whole lot,
But I got a hole that I got to go clot
And I won't stop;
It's like breathing;
My reason for being;
And I know now

And the last time back
You said
Next time that
You would last for all of
Eternity
Don't turn on me
Catch your breathe
You need it more
We need to know
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I want to hear you roar.

You said that all of this is so you can show the world;
That you can hold your own; but I wonder if yo.
Are you really bout to do the things you said you would though?
What are you waiting for?
I want to hear you roar.
