(Chorus)
10.
(2nd Verse) be quick to forgive, when you most want to judge we too busy to live while holding on to a grudge be patient with friends cuz they'll make some mistakes never follow the trends, be in charge of your fate live, love, and embrace cuz today is the dawn of a future to make when yesterday's gone this melody's yours so keep singing your song give a pleasant surprise instead of proving them wrong show them all what you know instead of tryna impress with the things that you dont cuz they'll think of you less be greatfull when blessed, not all of us are your never off target if you shoot for the stars you dont hear with your mouth, if you listen you learn if you trust what you feel, theres no cause for concern when the curtain goes down and they turn off the lights but still cheerin your name… you'll know you did it right the divine scienze

(Verse 1) 15 beacon dolo drinkin manhattans ask me how i'm feelin ill say pretty damn happy there goes number five, i probly shouldnt drive so i'll just hitch a ride wit all these dudes up in my bandwagon but cant forget about them 2am nights back in vegas for the video shoot wit sean white or how about departing on a 2am flight headin home when that chick said "your doin alright" …it took about a year before it hit me i didnt understand cuz i was feelin kinda tipsy … but lookin back i appreciate the comment its exactly what i needed, it just wasnt what i wanted … my fantasy woulda seen me signing autographs reality had told me i had fallen off the path months later, no deal. now autumns past but those three little words sittin on my noggin tryna let me know that opportunities are knockin the balls in my court, will i dunk it or just drop it … i cant seem to find the answer dancing in the rain, questions fallin on my conscience … i could really use some sunshine to dry up all these puddles that ive made from all these these months cryin … its time to leap without caution prepare to see the version of me with one option (Verse 3) mainstream's left, the real headed home im still gettin sick of what theyre still lettin go never played live, but im still best in show and ive never pitched a rock, but im still set in stone it seems picture perfect but that dont mean im flawless tho big set it best, more money more problems bro … you can say we all got em but the fact is for people like me more regrets is more distractions i spend too much time wishing i could fix em need to change them into gateways, not restrictions a straight way to redemption and do it fast how bright is your future if your present's in the past? so my heads held high… careers about to blossom you aint gotta ask to know that everything is awesome tipsy outta hand, to those around us beg your pardon im nearly outta breathe from always chasing superstardom … when my imagination runs i paint a picture of it throw it in a verse and i could probably convince you of it … so welcome to this theatre in my mind hold your albums up high if your tryna get em signed and i'll try to make the rounds while i try to wear this crown the good life's about to start feeling how it sounds … thank the man above cuz i been waitin on it longer than a minute, go head.. picture how im living
13.
(Chorus) they said i could never do it, i will never stand up, i'd never survive it but i dont care what they say, ima do it my own way and if these people cant handle the way i do me i wont have to answer, i'd finally be free they say i should do how they say but ima do it my way (Verse 1) all of us are born with hard decisions to decide upon are you the type to ride or the type that people ride up on? the kind that sees and takes when opportunity is reachin out or dwells on past regrets and swallows pride to preach em out? either path has pros and cons, goods and bads, nights and dawns but one has others questioning which side the brighter light is on now, i took what i could get and most are hoping failures all i'll see but look im not upset and those aint know the glamor's all for me its MY dedication, also MY display of bravery imPLIes my promised haven is outSIDE the path thats laid for me a HIGHer destination is where MY valet is stationed when its TIME for compensation i'll deNY your chance to taste it cuz you DIDn't help me get it so im NOT gonna give my praises oPINion's say thats sickenin but i'll ROT here within my wages before id ever think to thank a bunch of haters for their child's play cuz what you dont know is i do it my own way (Verse 2) its like we playing simon says, but i forgot my hearing aid deaf to everyone and anyone that even dares persuading me degrading me while claiming they're upgrading me without ever having taken off their shoes to trade with me cuz they pretend they understand what it is im tryna do speaking from experience but they never done like i do if for any reason they think my quest is bout to flatline you can tell em all to kiss the crevice on my backside everything i said before's a preface to my last line now you bout to watch me gettin reckless before halftime mom aint birthed a son, just a menace to this pastime thats the last time ill sit in silence while im chastized most that always knew me wont recognize me later now im specialized, wait... let me emphasize it greater the refinement is complete, introduce you to the new me if you dont like it, hah, join the bitches that have blew me (Verse 3) here's the essence, i was late for class but surely made my entrance take attendence, intimidate other classmates with my presence its intense, but this industry's infested, ive invested too much time to give up now so no i wont regret this its my duty, its my calling, and theres nothing left to fear i just burried all my problems now there finally resting here stalled a while, yea, but i just shifted extra gears no you didnt know me last, but bet your ass you will this year its like the planets all aligned or theres a glitch inside the matrix i can taste it its so close, the days approaching that i'll make it i wont act it, i wont fake it, brought it back to all the basics cuz this passions what you make it, i can see it clear as lasiks ima take it and display what this is supposed to be about cuz lately i cant take the bullshit that be flying out they mouths there i said my piece, down the gullet try to stomach it and watch these rappers plummit cuz they know they cannot fuck wit it
14.
(Verse 1) fruits claimin they squeeze but man thats pulp fiction only crime you guilty of is choked chickens let the plot thicken, i could kill you on a track still nobody'd buy your ghost writtens… nah im bout it til im in my cold-hearted urn and i'll still be sicker than a whole lotta germs concieved as a seed then was grown out of dirt in a cornfield beamed up and flown outta earth quarantined for a month inside a lab for analysis the studies showed that our minds were analogous but theirs were more about sciences and calculus mine was strictly meant to cause lyrical paralysis their telepathic brains heard my psychopathic thoughts for a minute and became paralyzed and then they dropped i grabbed the steering wheel, crash landed down in roswell let the feds keep the ship, im back baby alls well

about

NyxotiK Boston, Massachusetts

At first i filled entire notebooks with corny punchlines and cliche topics which can be heard in my earliest tracks, but as time passed the substance of my music has deepened.
