Livid - Metropolis

I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
I'm Superman, I'm Super Saiyan in this stupid game
Not saving Lois Lane though I know why you have came
You see the hype surround me
You hear 'em like to doubt me
But you don't know the shit I deal with off the mic around me
I put this work in like a surgeon tryna circumvent
The current shit that's surfacing that hurt's my head, encouraging
Myself to learn this shit and get myself to flourish quick
Nurturing my penmanship to show you just what perfect is
Not the finished product but the effort I put forth in it
The lesson I'm endorsing is the pressure, I was born for this
I step up, Kyle Korver with this shit
I pull from 40, torching this
I step up on the court and hit
Look, bitch my point is this
I was never the type of kid to focus on himself
It was quite the opposite but now I'll open up and tell
Anyone of all ya'll who would listen to my shit
Picture this, tears in my eyes while I wish this shit would quit
Not again (Fuck)
I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
I self reflect on my mistakes when I lay awake in my bed and think
I don't even wanna leave my room, not easy to when I'm seeing through
Everyone who's gotten close
It thought provokes
And it rottens hope that I'm gonna pick myself out this rut
But it's hard when everything around me sucks
Got my blessings, I'll count 'em up
My mental learned what value was
My ideas are fallacies and I can only count on me
Get mad and I hold grudges
So bad that I throw punches
Break walls and pain falls through my hands
I don't touch it
For my dreams there's no budget
Family fell apart no wonder
I feel alone and I feel stuck
And I don't know what will come
But when I put a pen to a page I swear to God I feel like Clark Kent
Boots laced and my cape on, I'll play my part when
It's my time but it's hard when I gotta put my heart in this shit cuz it's all I got
This is my hardship
I'll go till that flame dies
Heart and soul at the same time
Hang on I got this shit, won't let you down
No way I
I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
It's now or never, I have to make it
The sound of pressure's my fascination
A thousand efforts, no doubt of greatness
I count the seconds till my album's breaking records
My family needs me and all I need is a spark of something
A little light and the hardest bumping song that I've ever written
That's what I thought when I started this shit
Truth is if you stick to it and get good it just hurts more when you can't do it
It's hard again
Tough to swallow, no luck at all so
I just revert to those fucking mottos
I tell myself to make sure that I don't quit
But I know that when I'm focused on my own shit
At the same time I play therapist to my family members and old friends
Bloods thicker so it's alright but the one way street gets so thin
I harp on it but no change, I see where I go then
No checking up but it's okay, don't miss me when I'm ghost and
I'm not here to sit and listen when you got tears and you think to visit
I'm doing my own thing in my own lane
I'm so good that the negatives inspire me to keep spitting gas
That's why it's called pro pain
I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
I can't change but I'll stay on top of this
The blood flowing through my veins won't clot a bit
I stay sane enough to make sure it ain't obvious
But when I'm in my lane I'm Superman to Metropolis
This is my Metropolis
This is my Metropolis
This is my Metropolis
This is my Metropolis
