From the recording Therapy
Lyrics
Intro:
Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade
At yet the menace of years finds and shall find me, unafraid
It matters not how straight the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll
I am the captain of my fate, I am the master of my soul
1st verse:
Til Infiniti, implicitly, never artificially, articulate the imagery to paint the picture vividly
Officially, epitome of proficiency, lyrically conduct symphony skillfully and consistently
Name serves both entity and identity
Legacy first, Authentic second, Milestone's the trilogy
Without missing a beat, slide like it's slippery
In the future, the topic is history, gotta mention me
As a youngin was the puppy with the big paws
Had to navigate the minefields and pitfalls
Got guidance from all the OG's and big dogs
Smoking on those menthols with clenched jaws
Why be a burden when you can be a blessing?
What's more important, your values or your possessions?
Ownership of imperfections or deflection?
A rest haven for perpetration or a legend? Just a question
Chorus:
I need to need to need to know
Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole
I need to need to need to know
I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul

2nd verse:
Busters get pink slips, loose lips sink ships, think quick, be succinct, and careful who you link with
Whether premeditated or instinctive
Sometimes there's no strings attached to those you used to be NSYNC with
Just like that, Gone, over in an instant, what once was lit is now extinguished
What once existed now evaporated into a thin mist, and it happened so fast
If you blinked, you missed it
If I'm being forward, I think we got it backwards
Demoting positive and promoting the ratchet, wassup with that shit?
Take charge, take control, take advantage
When opportunity comes, you gotta snatch it
Fill out your bracket; this is much more than March Madness
Part of the magic is figuring out how to smile through the sadness
Pain is temporary, pride is everlasting
The game's cold but you ain't owed understanding, word!
Repeat Chorus
3rd verse:
Realize, don't believe the lies, living ain't the same thing as being alive
The difference between being fulfilled and feeling deprived
Say what's on your mind, tell me what you feel inside.
Pressure was applied, but we survived
Now we're moving on up, we finally got a piece of the pie
Regardless right or wrong, it's plenty on each side
Play with fire, slip in the grease, get deep-fried
How many inventions get spawned out of necessity?
Can adversity bring out the best in me?
Many factors contribute to life's complexities.
Do your best, put it in God's hands, and let it be
If it's meant for me, then it's meant to be
What you got? I'm giving everything left in me
All the pieces matter, and peace is all I'm after
Read all the chapters, it's more inquiries than answers
Repeat Chorus
