1,000 Mile

A thousand mile journey always starts with one step Don't matter where the ending is just look at progress Your old life is your life but that don't mean you won't get Into another direction till you run out of breath So you better do your best to catch it Hold on to it an protect it Be the mess everyone steps in If they don't accept you Burn the bridge and watch the wreckage Take a second to inspect it Make sure no one there is left with Any less respect than you I'm coming with an animal instinct I'm runnin full speed thru the crowd and the chain linked And they seem to hate the dream that I been chasing Don't paint a smile on your face if you're faking Amen Hey now I'm in love with the industry Don't know what it is imagination fills it in for me It better be a land of opportunity for men like me I'm fed up being fed the bowl Of ramen and the ketamine Woo I want a piece of the pie Lemme re-summarize Other eyes will never dilate like I Wanna reach for the sky To increase on the prize That I win for the people that would be by my side With the beat memorized Never being the one who would ever be set aside And to know my lyrics every other way that I write Never saying You're hopeless Sometimes a man only has their word So I guess by those standards you are not a man of yours Hypocritical is commenting on everybody's goals But forget to get your own Live in a catatonic hole Mental wildness We had never learned to silence Lines being drawn in the sands of my islands Which side am I on How could I decide one Who I wanna be or do I reside in the timebomb Lost in history What it cost to be Entered in the roster For thoughts On their lyrical ability But mental instability Gonna tip the scale to me I promise that you won't be ready when I say I'm gonna be Moving Got my steps influenced By the way I've become fluent Don't peruse the dream you're stupid Shut up no one's talking to you I'm staring in the eyes of Medusa I'd be turned to stone if my heart didn't produce the Chemical compound used to induce the Lucid dreams that I've become used to You gotta pick and choose Your battles might loose some But in time you will learn to fuse them Into lyrics Like don't come near me I'm stronger now so lemme tie loose ends Who's head do I gotta turn I'm not on your monitor But I wanna be Wanna learn how to beat the speedometer Be the commoner who came to be a lethal Word conquerer Wouldn't be logical for me to be a hoarder and harboring The peace I wrote To ease my own ghost Increase on my dose Put these down my throat I need some more hope So please don't let go But tell me somethin that I should know A thousand mile journey always starts with one step Don't matter where the ending is just look at progress Your old life is your life but that don't mean you won't get Into another direction till you run out of breath Tell all of my deamons that I'm heading towards That I ran with their reign and I weathered their storms And I hung with the people that didn't think I'm normal And picked on me more for me being informal Cuz I didn't take that classic route It bent and twist and wrapped around Yeah it had kinks but I worked it out And I'm workin now I've grown to proud of what I've found And what I found is Purpose A meaning for the life that I live in this circus Don't put a cane around my throat Worthless Don't mean me so don't close those curtains Better Leave em open Cuz I got the feeling that I'm gonna wanna throw a show for the people if they're broken Let em drowning in commotion Shoutout to everyone never said Hopeless
