dizziness of freedom
04:04
|
|||
|
[when the truth is found to be lies
and all the joy within you dies
then what? ...be a good boy]
paralyzed by the dizziness of freedom
we stayed inside
while they were all busy with
whatever they were busy with
so you made a few mistakes in your day
drank a few drinks of koolaid
but you're gonna be ok
wanna know how i know?
cuz i did the same
but today i could safely say
that i'm on a roll and i'm on the road
to something resembling redemption
nevertheless it's always a day away
but hey, it's better to be eternally on the way
than stuck in one place
cuz slow motion's better than [NO NO]
or so i heard em say
nothing's ever promised, etc.
i know that you wanna get better
but your brain aches
so you lay awake until day breaks
bumpin james blake but you can't escape
so you take xans and i understand
cuz when my head was like azkaban
i would abra kadabra alprazolam
but all that that was was just another crutch
that kept me numb for a couple months
but as your tolerance builds
you may find yourself swallowin pills by the handful
instead of lettin it get to that tho
let's accept the fact
that the dizziness may never go away
but maybe we can learn to live with it
and thus keep it at bay
sans benzos and barbiturates
and we'll look back and reminisce of the days
when we were....
paralyzed by the dizziness of freedom
we stayed inside
while they were all busy with
whatever they were busy with
HEY!
i put in 10,000 hours i'm an outlier
whoever you are bet i could outrhyme ya
but that don't change the fact that wherever i go
i'm an outsider, so i mainly stay inside my house vibin
but that's how i like it and that's how i'm nice as i am
with or without the mic in my hand
however to get to the level that i'm on today
c'était un putain de long trajet
and i'm forever on the way to the next level
so allons-y! andiamo! ¡andale!
gone are the days of wallowin in obscurity
just cuz it felt secure to me
i'm bout to be who i deserve to be

megalixir
done saved us from ourselves
so don't you tell us to stop
[my potions are too strong for you traveler
you can't handle my potions
they're too strong for you
my potions would kill you traveler
you cannot handle my potions]
it's dangerous to go alone

or a made man, your best laid plans could go a awry

note to self:
fake it til you make it, shake it but don't break it
create until you can't create no more and then keep creatin
and stop gettin so inebriated cuz gone are the days
when you could wake up and just feel ok
the morning after gettin plastered
and you need to face the fact that your people ain't amused
cuz shit ain't as cute as it used to be
instead of all that you should do something else
note to self:
don't micro manage your macro madness
and strive to strike a balance
between all that malice and some love for your fellow man
that i know is in there somewhere
and while you're at it know that although you'll never forget
all the drek you've done and the webs you've spun
and everyone you've ever loved who didn't love you back
that shit only has as much power over you as you allow it to
don't be resigned to it
climb thru it
don't be blind to it
vibe to it
and don't be so suspicious of the ambitions ones
even tho they look pretty ugly
write a note to yourself to remind yourself
to write a note to yourself to remind yourself
to write a note...

(sober actin like i barely know ya
slizzard actin way too familiar)
am i enough?
or am i too much?
(sober actin like i barely know ya
slizzard actin way too familiar)
do i give a fuck?
or am i untouched?
(sober actin like i barely know ya
slizzard actin way too familiar)
the real me got lost at some point somewhere in between
where only a handful of people have ever seen
and of that handful half of them decided to flee
the other half are still here standin right next to me
only they can pull me out of limbo

when i die bury me inside a uniqlo
when i die bury me beside my homie Cho
when i die please don't lionize me
just propose a toast to what i love the most
and roll down your windows and bump my first album
loud as your system goes
blow out a speaker or two for your dude
and know that i always saw you
thru all your armor. feel honored
if you're one of the paltry few who saw me too
but if not don't be somber
cuz it's finna be a minute before spoon b's a goner
or at least that's the plan
cuz i'm at most half the man that i wanna go on to be
and i wanna see all my peeps
reach the same floor as me
my friends are far flung but when they all on
the east side of these united states we gon link
and spill a little soju on the street
for our deceased comrades and scream l'chaim
as we clink glasses and think back
to the days when we came of age
we like to eat, we like to drink
we like to love, we like to think
we like to rap, we like to sing
we like straight 8ths, we like swing
but don't give us yours cuz we got ours and that's the thing
blahzay blahzay blahzay bling bling...
...everytime we come around your city
[we dream lots of silly things]
but it wasn't a dream
it was a place and
you and you and you
and you were there
[chacun sa mafia chacun sa mille-fa
sache que l'union fait la force mais que
la misère la divise]

is his style similar to earl? yeah for sure. But that's disrespectful to MIKE's production and bars that go even darker and more experimental than earl in a way that is entirely his own.
