Introspect Verse:
A tribute to those who still hold it down,
Pave the ground, help us make our sounds
Through the vowels and the verbs and the nouns and the thought
A tribute to those, who live this Hip Hop

From the top to the temple right down to the nerves,
Living in this crazy life can be absurd.
They wanna see you fall, lying dead on the curb
Society, no thanks, I’d rather give you words.

My two cents of thought but it’s worth much more,
Cuz every time I speak I dwell deep in my core
Feel it in my stomach, in my brain I explore
Introspective, recollective of the day before.

Calculating every lose step to fix,
Cuz when you start to look around is when you start to slip.
I flip my destiny as if the deck is in my hands,
But I’m just a puzzle piece to this occupied land.

Re-evaluating to fix the loose ends
And in the process fix my optics to ignore the new trends.
‘Cause Ignorance Should never be a fad.
I’ve searched my history, since a young lad

And tried to figure out why I didn’t have a dad,
But all these other questions only made me mad
Through the years I learned just who I am,
And realized I’m at one with this mic in my hand.

(x2) Chorus:
Survive and conquer, Yo I got that shit
Will I drown in water No dogg I got that shit
I’ll never be complacent with saying life’s a bitch
People getting mad at life ‘cause it doesn’t let you hit but
Best believe yo I’ll handle that scandal,
I’ll be the one to get shit you know how that go
Ima be the one soaring high through the sky
Now it’s time to do or die we either fry or fly

Ra1 Verse: Who wouldve thought I'd be fighting for my life
striving for the sky, telling stories on the mic
been tryna' find peace, within these little instruments
I wonder if they hear me in the world that doesnt give a shit
Trouble on the daily but still hanging since the ages
I try not to let it phase me which is why I write on pages
but I cant help it dog I'm crumbling down
sometimes I think about it, how'd it be to throw in this towel
I feel no one has my back but the knife that caught it
I try to keep a smile on without feeling psychotic
aside of that I have to deal with seeing the fake
while my closer ones are suspicious and outta' place
See my mind was tampered with these phony dilusions
that we all thought the same but shit, they never proved it
it's these papers that keep me from tearing apart
from the start my main goals was to be above the stars
Because ain't no oxygen within space
therefore I dont have to sense any bullshit in range
all I'm saying is I wanna' bounce up outta' here
like nasa's pioneer, avoiding crocadile tears

I'm losing it, 'cause I never was that tolerant
there was never a time when my mind was never bothered with
but I cope and remember who I am
and realize I'm at one with the mic in my hand, sayin'

(x2) Chorus:
Survive and conquer, Yo I got that shit
Will I drown in water No dogg I got that shit
I’ll never be complacent with saying life’s a bitch
People getting mad at life ‘cause it doesn’t let you hit but
Best believe yo I’ll handle that scandal,
I’ll be the one to get shit you know how that go
Ima be the one soaring high through the sky
Now it’s time to do or die we either fry or fly
