DEFENDER'S RAP

• Check, uh
• Steady with a blade, like I'm steady with a pen
• Steady with a pen? Nah I'm just ready, tell me when
• Ready, tell me when? Nah that's just petty, let it end
• let it end, let it end, got a message I'm s'posed to send
• Open end, I can't even go a step
• without remembering the endings of my closest friends
• gotta cope with stress, pitch black in the ocean depths
• written raps give me an open sense of
•  
• who I am, Who I be
• who am I? Who I be?

•  
• I got stupid legs, I got stupid hands
• I'm a stupid man, with some stupid plans
• Picasso in my mind, a poet's eye is just distorted
• Riot till I cry it's like my mind just can't be sorted
• Sigh instead of scream, like a dream where I can't make noises
• Struck with paralysis, hearing masses of voices
• Crash on the first lap, I been doomed since the start
• Back since my first track, showed I'm a human with words
• I'm a human, it hurts
• it's like abuse, it's a curse
• fusing sentences into music, I'm just doin' what works
•  
• It's just
• who I am, who I be
• Who am I? who I be?

•  
• Walking down a path through my past, through my life
• Looking through every single rap, every line
• every rhyme that I wrote, every time that I spoke
• I still got a lot ahead, so Imma try to devote
• everything to anyone and everyone I lost
• everyone and everything that everyone here lost
• everything that I can get, everything that I can lose
• every path that a normal person would not ever choose
• Shutting down, I can't come to a conclusion
• life is a game, in other ways, it's just amusing
• and I don't what my purpose is, what I'm doing
• all I know is who I am, I'm a human
•  
• It's who I am, who I be
• Who am I? who I be?
• x2
•  
• My mind is my enemy, always climbing ahead of me
• way over my head, yet it's my body's centerpiece
• I wish it could go, wish it could leave
• wish it could fly away, just let me sit down and breathe
• I follow its orders, obey every command
• It's like our brains carry the souls, the bodies in their hands
• ironic, cause it's one of the smallest parts
• but it keeps us awake and thinking even when all is dark
• when the mice are cut, when the cheese is asleep
• now I'm drifting away, my body bout to get reaped
•  
• this is who I am, who I be
• Who am I? who I be?
• x2
