Circles 03:11
chorus: i keep still thoughts kept to my mind my heart stalls.. till i write another rhyme i hold fast to the things that i know they can't slow me down they can't over through verse 1: my patience, never gave me peace of mind i rush by any help that i can find it comes full circle, the nights never late my brain never sits, my heart never aches i wish i never knew, so i couldn't hide i wish i kept my mind clear, but instead i tried my logic made me lie, my pride showed through i wish i had a scare, so maybe i would have knew And all this time I thought I knew it all I always stayed aggressive so they couldn't make me fall And how it came back to me how it truly feels The lessons were learned, bridges burned, fate sealed I take my time slow, and listen to the Signs The promise will stay, if I let their trust climb And rhyme after rhyme I'll find a reason to play it To let the air clear, bring the voice back and say it verse 2: * I never was taught how to let my heart rest Instead I let it pound through the cage in my chest The blood flows in and out, slowly through my veins The tension that I cause stops anything from change but i keep positive, i breathe in and out i walk up and down, and i never hit a drought the time take-in from the night brings light to a brand new day-to-fix anything not right and i… keep calm, but steady like the wind and i listen to the rain drop sharp like a pin and my mind wears thin but its sharp like an axe cuz Ive been focused in but I’m almost at the max and my passion will last cuz i know it cant break if my plan stays up i can win that race cuz i let that pain go, and blend into the past anticipating life when i won’t come in last so i…

Patience 03:16
chrous: they can’t even stop us now they cant even overthrow they wont ever see the struggle they dont know which way to go verse 1: back to the business, of war time has told me how to fight the pen is mightier than their sword i-will-never-rest even-through the night shock their guess, they won’t know every-little-thing-i-do-to-grow craftsmanship that i know they lack built to last let-em-have-a-crack i was told how to win my wars learned to listen, how to keep score the harder they hit, the less they know the bigger enemy the slower they’ll go i paid attention, to that kept my mouth shut, never-went-back never-thought-to-count the times i lost took a step forward, and count the cost verse 2: i learn by listening, by watching by trying, never by talking never ran my ship into ground stayed on top of my lyrical sound drop that beat, take that line show em whats up, let me make that mine spend that dime, buy whats real keep my patience, let my soul heal i-can-never take that route like them steal like them, lie like them lose myself in that mindless space risk it all cuz i can’t keep pace so i stand still, away from the wall even if i die i made them fall drop that sword, i’ll take that cut I’m-one-step-aheada-them they’ll never catch up

Front Lines 03:50
chrous: stay on the front lines don’t quit the fire cant burn if it doesn’t get lit x3 stay on the front lines can’t quit stay on the front lines won’t stop x1 verse 1: I’ve written almost everything, that i’ve felt attacked with a pen, never had any help i drew my lines, and said what i thought traced every edge never getting caught how many times can you pick out a flaw play devils advocate, challenge every law i spilled my heart, and burned that road went down a path that i didn’t really know I’ve patched up holes, and re-did tracks stuck to my heart and never looked back i fought those feelings, and pain stuck to a story that i can explain one day its gonna change, they’re gonna know they never had faith but they will when i go I’m taking back what was took from my hand the fire burns hot and I’m ready for the stand verse 2: 1, 2 fallback, its not worth it its what they tell me, its not perfect but I’m sure that its worth my time every last tick on the clock is mine even though they broke it, i’ll stay fix whats wrong even though I’m okay the silence brings forth change in the air a break from the day that i know they couldn’t bare but its all so meaningful inside my soul you can’t feel it but its cuz it’s cold the land grows back, soaks up life respawns time even under the knife i’ll split whats yours, and take whats mine life aint fair but i’ll walk that line never turn back, never lose thought stay on the outside, fight through the loss
