lyrics

It's taken time to find that place inside
that place patience faces blatant lies
where grapes on the vine hold the shape of light
and there lakes in the sky roll with grateful vibes
I. grace the mic with a love for the art
respect for my brothers struggle hustling hard
respect for the hunger not the number of cars
I'm flushing out the shit like a plumber with bars
ups, downs, thunder pounds
bump that underground sound to fuckin pump the crowd
reached a summit of the drugs not above the ground
then plummeted to rust with the busted crowns
I jumped around in the house of pain
yeah I'm a bit loose but I'm out for change
I stumbled on a truth now I count my days
and erupted in the booth set the roof in flames

I'm optimistic, i step to the mic and I rock the scriptures
I've got to get this, I step to the mic and i rock the scriptures
I'm optimistic, i step to the mic and I rock the scriptures
I've got to get this, I step to the mic and i rock the scriptures

I've come so far from broken parts
my only card: the one that trumped the Jokers laugh
precocious mask eroded to an open heart
total calm to focus on a spoken art
shifted gear through the twisted fear
took a risk and the motherfuckin mist has cleared
you can see it in my eyes: I am crystal clear
been over 14 months in this fiscal year
I drifted here, on a liquid crutch
stripped of love, a prick that was quick to judge
was sick from the mix of conflicting drugs
addictions blistered grip of cryptic tongues
just for today let the rust go away
as the ash turns to dust throw the dust to the flames
trust in the pain as the growth begins
and i structure my faith from the hope within

I'm optimistic, i step to the mic and I rock the scriptures
I've got to get this, I step to the mic and i rock the scriptures
I'm optimistic, i step to the mic and I rock the scriptures
I've got to get this, I step to the mic and i rock the scriptures

My: vocal chords cause global warming
lets, bounce around til there's broken flooring
remain in a zone where the sky is endless\
the game's for the throne and the 6 Avengers
senseless but I'm used to that
lot of rappers sound the same but refuse the facts
these cats want accolades but their music's whack
It's Primitive with the lucid rap
there's truth in that, there's truth in less
my mood's tense I need room to vent
its old-school with a little lubricant
It's soul-blues intricate exuberance
pans out i got bigger fish to fry
got my hands out itchin' just to grip the mic
no need for hand outs i grind with a pinch of pride
It's still 4 years since i lit the pipe! (Prim)

I'm optimistic, i step to the mic and I rock the scriptures
I've got to get this, I step to the mic and i rock the scriptures
I'm optimistic, i step to the mic and I rock the scriptures
I've got to get this, I step to the mic and i rock the scriptures
