Mike Nappi - Leavin Eden

You know I make this look easy
It ain't
It's a journey
Gotta love the process
If you don't you'll never make it
I don't have faith really in anybody
Besides my inner circle
Someone get the tractor
I guess I'm gonna need a farmer's hat
For shoveling the bullshit
Makin rhythms of the night
DeBarge is back
To construct rhyming like mine
You need a harder hat
There's venom inside my pen
I guess the bars is back
I go over your head
Like a starter jacket
Hang it up and take it from me,
It's hard to rap
I learn from ancients hieroglyphics and artifacts
I only speak on what I know, it's the art of facts
Our history was rewritten and these are the facts
My future is pre-written to keep the art intact
The devil asked for my soul
But I don't barter that
I rejected his fruit and I
Gave his garden back
That's where the phrase starving artist started at
I stole the grim reaper's sickle - cut an artist's path
And that takes us 360 back to where we started at
I deal with a lot of bullshit I need a farmer's hat
When I'm in the shadows and can't see the light
I remind myself everything will be alright
And I roll
Then I go
And I smoke
'Cause I know
Where I'll go
Is exactly where I'm supposed to be
It's like I left Eden
Couldn't be a part of that
But I got off the beaten
And I got to carve my path
I met lots of demons
Some of them were hard to pass
And I had to deceive them 'cause they had the stronger hands
I had them think that I fell off - started to crawl in grass
I waited to catch them slippin' - then I was crawling fast
Didn't do nothing to trip them, while I crawled I laughed
So much for a high horse, 'cause I crawled on past
Stood up on my own 2, but y'all the stands
Before I started runnin' I walked farther than
What everyone thought that I'd do 'cause I'm smarter than (them)
I'm breezing by 'cause they hate me they're my largest fans
No energy toward enemies, it charges them
My target's my destiny I'm not charging them
But if they try to get the best of me I'm charging them
And if they're threatening my legacy I'll charge again
When I'm in the shadows and can't see the light
I remind myself everything will be alright
And I roll
Then I go
And I smoke
'Cause I know
Where I'll go
Is exactly where I'm supposed to be
