Mad Martian - Step Inside

Will I ever stand out
In this fucking madhouse
Will I ever stand out
In this fucking madhouse
Step inside the shoes of an artist
In the midst of all this
Interconnectivity and being a part of
This and that, I can't lose myself
In this quest for stardom
Step inside the shoes of an artist
In the midst of all this
Interconnectivity and being a part of
This and that, I can't lose myself
In this quest for stardom
The Martian never ends his album on a sad note
I'm getting greedy with these beats I wanna eat
Treating 'em like cattle, slaughtering obediently
Blood all over the ground, I'm in a battle
A soldier, a servant, to my fucking purpose
Am I brave to earn a medal
Treading this path isn't easy
There is so much hassle, in this journey
Getting confronted with my inner evils
But I'm dealing with my monsters like I'm Henry Cavill
This is just a prequel to my story
I'm forging the pen is the hammer to my anvil
Crafting purposefully to get a foothold in this industry
But the factories operate on a different level
A digital revolution, we are artists of the 21st century
Trying to dabble in an oversaturated space where I can barely breathe
Release me from these shackles and I'll let you see that
We are sacrificing more than we get
That's the life of an artist
In and outside of the web
Some would die for a collab
Others ride solo in their home made labs
But to thrive in these lands
You will need to connect
From the east to the west side of the map
It ain't easy, but we can't quit
'Cause we are artists, living in the 21st century
Step inside the shoes of an artist
In the midst of all this
Interconnectivity and being a part of
This and that, I can't lose myself
In this quest for stardom
Step inside the shoes of an artist
In the midst of all this
Interconnectivity and being a part of
This and that, I can't lose myself
In this quest for stardom
I'm crafting a story with the intent to leave a legacy in history
Like the Latin language, I'm speaking in tongues
Only a few can understand it
Acquiring different skillsets like piling up these lyrics
I can never relax
Or spitting in front of the mic
To get the respect I desire
Or what about displaying my style
Learning to pose for them JPEG's
While practicing my mixing and mastering
Video editing, shooting scenes like an adamant
Amateur director, video capturing my creative expressions
In the hope to capture the whole package
Popping off, like I'm wrapped in bubble wrap
Are we destined for bubble rap to escape this trap
I never break a sweat while taking these steps
I never stray from my path
And If I do, fate will bring me back
Right on track, let bygones, rest in the past
We are sacrificing more than we get
That's the life of an artist
In and outside of the web
Some would die for a collab
Others ride solo in their home made labs
But to thrive in these lands
You will need to connect
From the east to the west side of the map
It ain't easy, but we can't quit
'Cause we are artists, living in the 21st century
Step inside the shoes of an artist
In the midst of all this
Interconnectivity and being a part of
This and that, I can't lose myself
In this quest for stardom
Step inside the shoes of an artist
In the midst of all this
Interconnectivity and being a part of
This and that, I can't lose myself
In this quest for stardom
