lyrics

And the cycle begins.
it's like an epiphany everytime
life is but a snippet, but i know i'm set to shine
i was fourteen when i said my vows
never knew this marriage would get me to carry luggage
to concerts, but i take a bow
thinkin wow when i think about it, wonderin how
every step was crucial and necessary for me to get down
every failure was vital, no mistake was in vain
every flaw was a steppin stone in buildin my title
i was the little kid thats sick at drawin pictures (it was meant to be)
creative, innovative in everything i made (it was meant to be)
never sober always high from expression (it was meant to be)
caught a fetish for just rhyming everyday

*I see it comin together*
freeze framin all the pictures from my past
wanted to grow quick but i was told "not so fast"
i understand it's a process, in makin progress
people and places, love and hate
I see it comin together

the cycle continues, it's like my life is my pen use
experience is serious don't recycle them venues, cmon
perception of self and your mirror image
can be too dependent, can't do that
it's hard to get through that if ur too defensive, for me
people doubted like u really tryin to rap?
when they never saw the wings on my back, look at me now
I fly like gravity defied, like reality denied
superman analogies and now you see the light
given sight to reach the blind,
my purpose unravels, i wrestled wit devils upgraded my levels
it's true i was humbled when i stumbled at times
but now lives are bein changed wit even words that i mumble d-d-damn
everything happens for a reason, so relax and just breathe in (you kno it's meant to be)
and this melody's the blueprint, who's thinkin otherwise?
no ones budgin me

i used to think my life was tedious but my view wasn't 3D yet
switch it up.
my potential never climaxed till i left my multiplex and entered imax
now it's real i'm puttin haters on the bypass
phantom power for the motivation, EQ'ing out any kind of sidetrack
i mean business, dead serious like Zo when he's in the studio usin tools like a pro
i'm untouchable status
findin purpose gives u flexibility like doin multiple backflips
yeah we here to get it, you'll never see me back down
life is like a headlock, the key is not to tap out
i'm sure to reveal it, im here recordin the realest
to give em portable, affordable meals upon the millions
and just when you think it's full circle, it'll hit your mind
the cycle begins.
it's like an epiphany everytime.
