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

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

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
