El Rey - Awoken

Expectations out the window
Aspirations to become the hero
My intricate thoughts will crescendo
As I keep moving across the page with my pencil
Foundations laid out as I tell my tales
I promise to speak the truth and to never fail
When I create these images that peaks their interests
Ideas so endless, my work so rigorous I
Don't want to fall flat, but try to evolve
Work on new formats, stray from default
Like it's my last chance, I want to resolve
Any dilemmas with others involved
Before something happens and I'm gone forever
Like I was a shot to 450 dead center
But know that I'm trying to take on the pressure
And know that I'm trying not to surrender
Focus on the Knowledge placed Above All Nonsense
So I'll rise like a Phoenix with a heightened sense
By taking inspiration from the Kaancepts
That were laid out by a stellar performance
With great importance, that worked in accordance
With thoughts enormous, provided reinforcement
To my words recorded, that weren't supported
By positive rewards and left me distorted
I'm Fragile minded hoping they get the message
Should've listened to the N9ne, they want me in wreckage
But I worked so hard it's critically obsessive
Until the finished product is something I can relish
Like the pyramids it's not my time to crumble
I'll live on for millennia and beat the struggle
There were plenty of times where I screwed up and stumbled
But those moments have always kept me so humbled
Deeply devoted and staying focused on the prize at hand
As I climb the ladder and make a mark where I stand
While my goals expand, don't expect me to hesitate
I will only elevate, just give me a second to acclimate
The element I'm residing in and now fully fighting for
Reaching the pinnacle position is leaving me wanting more
Of what I've been longing for, one final opportunity
To prove wrong the scrutiny, and strengthen my immunity
From doubt and debate as I find my fate in my craft
The spot I lay and time I take to perfect each draft
So I can break off the chains that held me in the past
That have kept me detached from being able to surpass
Negative perceptions that are kept frozen in time
So I'll take new directions that will keep me in line
With the way I'm reinventing myself, I will be sublime
With my state of mind and the image that I designed
Back in business better believe I'm busting down
Every locked door til it's all shattered on the ground
So you can hear the sound of me completing what I vowed
Until I finally succeed and I take that final bow
I put a hundred percent effort just wanting to be noticed
For my ability to focus on my effort to become potent
To the point where I'm no longer my greatest opponent
With a new mindset to know that I now must control what
I think, I've been on the brink far longer than I should
But it made me stronger knowing I actually withstood
Everything I could before it became too much to handle
But I channeled that energy into something substantial
Imma make sure I don't act solely on my emotion
So I've chosen to block out everything that would leave me broken
But many don't care about a single word that I've spoken
But talking myself through this, I'm finally awoken
King
