lyrics

The tides are changing.
Everything I caged in is escaping,
And I can only blame it all on Nathan he’s a pagan
But really I love him more than I hate him.

He’s moving through the darkest places
Because they’re spacious
And he’s human but his heart is vacant.
His heart got scared but he’s been choosing very path he’s taken.
He’s like a Spartan in the booth he fight s with heart and patience.
Yo, yo,
The road he follows isn’t borrowed
Dragging all his baggage with his pockets full of sorrow
Focus son the past
He shouldn’t focus on tomorrow
Now he’s focused on the task of chewing up before he swallows.
Yeah it’s back to basics,
His problem punched him in the face but now he’s back to face it
And then it punched him in the brain so no he’s back to training
Back to where he started he departed with a lack of patience.
He’s working hard but not as hard as he can work
It’s like his words provide a mask
And they’re just masking up the hurt that’s worsened.
It’s such a burden when you try to be the perfect person
And he’s been learning that perfection is the devils worship.
He fights his demons so there never is a peaceful evening
He writes and speaks about the life that he has dreamed of leading,
He is the person that he should but still does not believe in
Moving all these mountains but his shoulders are a bit deceiving.
His only limits are the ones that he imposes,
He’s the furthest from the finish line but focused on the closest
He could split apart the oceans
Like his middle name was Moses,
On the mic he’s so ferocious but he doesn’t even notice…
Because he feels like he’s a fraud,
Feeling like he didn’t even earn what he affords
But he’s slowly learning that he’s fighting for a cause
And it’s been causing all this fighting that’s inside him like a war.
He’s turning twenty three
And he’s too focused on the things that he could never be,
if he could muster up and focus all that energy
Then he would be unstoppable and live throughout the centuries.
But that’s a hefty task,
If you’re not sure about the answer then it’s best to ask
Nate will never ask he’s ridding solo just to test the bar,
The bar gets raised, he still amazed that he could get this far.
He sheds some light inside his heart when things are getting dark
When things are getting hard he never seems to let it pass
Determined to succeed to reach the stars he needs to stretch his arms,
He feeds his dreams because too many people let them starve.
He’s running rings around himself inside his mind
It’s hard to find the perfect balance when you’re life is in declined
You’re not defined by who you are
But by the usage of your time
I find it useless just to use it in pursuit of what’s despised.
His eyes are withered he’s a lizard and he’s cold blooded.
And he’s a wizard causing blizzards now his soul’s flooded,
It’s so rugged, so precious that he won’t touch it,
He’s no puppet, no pressure when his soul’s crushing.
He’s getting high to deal with problems that he faces
It’s the basis of himself that’s in one thousand different places
He’s been wasting all his time but all his time has not been wasted,
Though he always gets distracted by the ladies pretty faces.
Moving through the darkest places,
Because they’re spacious
And he’s human but his heart is vacant.
His heart got scared but he’s been choosing every path he’s taken.
He’s like Spartan in the booth he fights with heart and patience
Yo, huh.

My dreams and ambitions have led me here, aged 20, I'm now looking to jump start my music career.
Rap is more than a craft or a job to me. It brings my emotions to life and I feel myself live through it. I hope I can convey this in my songs.
I'm always looking for ways to improve, increasing the possible outcomes of my work tenfold.
My feet are, and always will be firmly planted on the ground.
