S'word Play - The Road Not Taken

Giving a lesson
Checkin the bill
Breaking the records
You know the deal
Got a confession
I want you kneel
And take on my blessing
I'm keeping it real

As I go and jot down these words now
I gotta make a choice
Do I spit the basic bout the same shit
Then erase the board
Do I talk to the masses appeal to profit
Recycle the flock shit
Find out who the boss is
Is it me
The guy who had it all but had to walk the plank and lost it

My offer is to get you through
Whose been abused the shortest fuse
Out of use on the loose
Tried too hard to tie the noose
Now I got the will to find the guys
To light a dynamite up on their ass
And blow them out of school

I choose to be the tool
That you can use to pull
You out of all the madness
From stepping off the stool
A choice I had to make
A path I had to pave
I took the one less taken
Cuz now I am awake

Giving a lesson
Checkin the bill
Breaking the records
You know the deal
I got a confession
I want you kneel
And take on my blessing
I'm keeping it real

Class is in session
You gonna feel
My arsenal of weapons
Bullets and steel
Come with aggression
Burning the wheel
Open the dressing

All I wanna do is bring back the bars
Take rap to mars and attack the heartless with CPR
Turn back the time and take it back to start
Bring em back to life to take em back apart
Like a mastermind of the rapping art
Countdown the time I got em tapping out
In circles around
Can you find your breath?
Are you blacking out?

See Im on my bike and my hands are off
And im standing top of the handlebar
Sippin on Bacardi lookin at the stars
Riding down the block like a mile an hour

I see you drive you car
Trynna chase me down but we're miles apart
Like the Mona Lisa I'm a timeless art
Im a shark that leaves your fucking Jaws apart

Now I realize I may be a rare breed
But see I do this for MCs who raised me
I break free, like Shady, 3000, some Jay Z and Kendrick
It's NF mixed up with some Dre Beats
I used to run cuz of the shade of my skin
I'm at the finish you barely begin
And now you wonder why I got the hunger
To be like a hunter and go for the kill

Could have been elevated to be on the outer-plane
But I choose this shit
Wanna be innovative and do it the other way
Now I'm changing it
Calm in the center like I'm the eye of a hurricane
But Im breaking shit
Never debated if Im deserving the accolade
Cuz I'm taking it

Time and time again I pick up the pen scared to say what I think
How could I begin trynna make a cent when I'm tied to the link
The link that bends around everyone of us keeping us on the brink
I think the time has come beat the fucking drum while I throw down the sink

You wanna know whats been driving me so much?
Through the mud like I'm cruising on the clutch
Whats the motivation behind the rush?
Whats the reason you said that its enough?
Why'd you break the cuff
Get the paper cuts
Once again erupt
Did you look above
Know that with some luck
Once you've have dug enough
You can see that you're a diamond in the rough

I gotta reason to give it my all
Like I've been workin that medicine ball
Like I been facing my demons and seemingly leaving the total withdrawal
I see you worry bout making a choice
Vision is blurry you're chasing the voice
Listen if you gunna be pushing the trigger
Your thumb and finger gon feel the recoil

Giving a lesson
Checkin the bill
Breaking the records
You know the deal
Got a confession
I want you kneel
And take on my blessing
I'm keeping it real
