Still (Beat Challenge V Cypher S...

I was still, paralyzed with fear, worried I would be forever

Panicked cause my surroundings were never gonna get better

Horrified at the sight as I fell under the pressure

of every one of my nightmares I was stricken by terror

All I wanted to do was give myself a life worth living

And now that I have I guarantee that I will live it

To the fullest. No longer sitting round wishing

Take what I want, won't give a fuck if I'm forgiven

Where did caring ever get me? nowhere fast

Didn't help me become a leader, I ended up in the back

With the rest of the outcasts who suffered from a lack

Of social skills, I sat quiet and I worked on my craft

 

(Chorus)

Now my skills been perfected

But you dont realize that my mental state has lessened

I've lost my mind and if a threat is detected

Then you ain't blind, you're just about as smart as expected but I'm still numb

 

I know It's hard to keep up with those who can spit on a dime

But I said hard not impossible so watch my timing

Cause that's the key to this shit, not the punchlines

And it ain't the way that I combine and crunch rhymes

Although spittin it jittery certainly helps the delivery

You may think this is trickery cause I'm unknown like a mystery

But the way I spit this artillery will be the key to my victory

And though it's quite contradictory this flow will lead you to misery

Now I've got all eyes on me, and not a question to doubt it

I got my pride on fleek, and I got most of you without it

I weather this storm you're unprepared, and I got heads spinning throughout it

And those who think they compare, don't know a damn thing about it

 

(Chorus)

Cause my skills been perfected and if you guessed that my mental state has lessened

Then I stand corrected you're smarter than I expected

But you still ain't half as smart as my brain disconnected

And I'm still numb

 

Shit...

What have I become

My life numbered by the days, only enlightened by the sun

Already running on empty and the day's barely begun

With my head getting heavy all my work comes undone

Then I get all my ties tangled in a twisted triangle

Til I try to take my life back but realize that I'm unable

I'm over my head, the weight on my shoulders is fatal

Think about it, and maybe I'm just fucking ungrateful

Sinister as rosemarys baby but I ain't going to the cradle

Got you confused lately, heads spinning faster than dreidels

In a tornado, it's crazy, if yall are thinking I'm lazy

Just cause I like to get hazy with no haste on the daily

And I know it makes you uneasy, to see that I'm still so brainy

But it's pretty entertaining to see yall act like you can tame me

When the tamest you'll see me is when it's time for them to lay me in the ground!

I'm out
