Kid Victory - Second Draft (Chasing a Star, Pt. 2)

I'm chasing, I'm chasing a star

This is where I tear it all down so that I can build again
This is where I write it all out till the blood's drained from my pen
And I've got a stake in it like it was a vampire
Burning up like a campfire
I'm still riding on the whims of the breeze and the winds with a dream in my grip like a hang glider

This is where I bring it all back with the heat of a thousand suns
This is where I let it relapse past the rain and the countless floods
Coming out as DLC, I'm the next to smash
On deck till they're threading me an epitaph
All set when I put my bloody pen to pad
Yeah, I'm dubbing this my second draft

KV's on deck, no concept of quitting
Making progress, penning the projects I'm spinning
Let it offset the story like the font's in italics
Dropping the ballast and ascending beyond inhibitions
Keeping honest, spitting the sonnets I've written
And I'm finna figure out how to make flawless renditions
And the new wave spinning out my screwed brain
With a little butane's starting the rocket's ignition
I'mma blast off, finna chase a star
Simba on my chest, never could you tame my heart
Take the pressure on until I bloody break apart
That's who I am, I don't ever gotta fake the art
I want to stain the dark
With the luminescence I can feel inside me when I scribble and I paint my bars
I'm gonna raise the bar
Till I've made it out the atmosphere and still I'm chasing lights outside the range of Mars
I wrote a song about the following Autumn but then I never followed through
I got caught up in the debt and the lust and the liquor and the drugs
Let my demons take the reigns and then I followed suit
But I took it to the lab again
Kid is spazzing on the track again
And I keep on getting told to give it up by the devil perched on my shoulder
But I'll damned if I'mma let that fucking bastard win

This is my show, I'mma walk the tightrope
If I slip and fall, guess I'll know I had a nice go
Even through the psychotic cyclones
I'll be holding onto hope with the grip of a tight flow
Till I'm blowing up like a Pineco
Every word a milestone leading to the stars I chase
So I don't have a bloody bar to waste
I'm never giving up the music while my heart's the same

This is where I tear it all down so that I can build again
This is where I write it all out till the blood's drained from my pen
And I've got a stake in it like it was a vampire
Burning up like a campfire
I'm still riding on the whims of the breeze and the winds with a dream in my grip like a hang glider

This is where I bring it all back with the heat of a thousand suns
This is where I let it relapse past the rain and the countless floods
Coming out as DLC, I'm the next to smash
On deck till they're threading me an epitaph
All set when I put my bloody pen to pad
Yeah, I'm dubbing this my second draft

Yeah, I'm looking to the light cause I want that
Got a lot on my mind like a top hat
And I'm prone to ignite on the mic like a hot flash
Won't level out till I've caught that
Finna lay my thoughts flat, compact, blast off the launch pad
Combat ready with my tongue bloody cocked back
Trying to make it fine like the print on a contract
Still losing my mind in the sitch that I brought back
Brought it back from the dead
And I'm at it again
Spilling out my essence on a pad with a pen
Going mad in the head
Till I cover all the bases I'll be glad to defend
I've been trapped in the trench
And I'm looking for a way to escape
So I'm working on a map to success
And I'm taking my own path to the edge
I'm an addict who's made a bloody pact with his craft to the end
I'm a passionate gent
And I'm feeding my fire
More than I feed my bloody stomach in the heat of desire
But Dylan dug his fucking way out of the deepest of mires
And I'll keep climbing up the wall till I'm at the peak of the spire
Without a notion of where I am going
I follow the shine and I hope that I approach it
Overzealous through the motions
Rolling with the punches I've been swinging trying to demonstrate devotion

And the road goes on
Till I'm up above the planet with the photons
Turn another short verse into a "so long"
To the person I began as, way back in the prologue
And I'm never gonna quit
I'll be working on my music till I'm buried in a crypt
I've been looking past Venus, longing for my zenith
And I'm finna grind till I rise till I reach it

This is where I bring it all back with the heat of a thousand suns
This is where I let it relapse past the rain and the countless floods
Coming out as DLC, I'm the next to smash
On deck till they're threading me an epitaph
All set when I put my bloody pen to pad
Yeah, I'm dubbing this my second draft

KV's on deck no concept of quitting
My raw sense of living
I'm chasing a star
And I won't settle down with the drawback
Honest, spitting my sonnets
I'm building a context of wisdom
And I'm chasing a star
And I won't level out till I've caught that
Finna lay my thoughts flat, compact
Blast of the launch pad, combat ready
And I'm braving the dark
And I won't settle down with the drawback
Staying on track with a complex
Back at the conquest, contact messy
And I'm chasing a star
And I won't level out till I've caught that
