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
