ANTHM, Blu - Polaris lyrics

Before I watch it all vanish
Like the lost city of Atlantis
I'm taking advantage of the mechanics
That I was handed, 'til I give up the ghost
See my soul still riddled with hopes
In the sky see me scribble my quotes
That be my legacy
I'm blazing like armageddon
I started betting on me
Instead of bombarding heaven with my prayers
Driven by competitive edge, fully fledged
On the ledge
Next to veteran heads like Mt rushmore
Clutching the mic', see me bust raw
Reaching for pinnacles that I lust for
Pure artistry, from the heart of me
'till I depart
Whether or not I'm arguably regarded
Like rap martyrs be
21 gun salute, before they shoot
How I be living proof
Niggas shake this destiny then Poof!
One day, the dark nights might fade us
At least I got to shine like the greatest

Turn me up yeah
Guess who eyyo it's all elementary dawg
I was a 10 year old spitting flows
Dreaming of being dipping the prince's gold
Picket fences blocked the visions I
Was sent to hold so I kicked it open like
Eminem did at Interscope
I sip the OE, thinking of those before me
Who never made it
Sharing the stage with fakes and phonies
But, I never hated, elevated the ceremony
Listed on your homie's all time favorites
I should get a Rolly 'Till I'm at the Tonys
Posting like a trophy, I would never act
When I'm on track
People know me from the West
To East so far you see the Bering Sea
Holding Mongolian gold until they bury me
Like an Egyptian God probably
Be in hieroglyphs so all my niggas reminisce
As they bottles sip
Pac shit, I get the chills when I play this
At least I got to shine like the greatest

Relenetlessly, I reinvent this
So called thing, you call a dream
When I sent this, Message in a bottle
Up to Mt olympus
What's the use, hollering Zeus
Are we calling a truce? Can I
Live? Won't spare you my tongue
You know I gotta shine if
There's air in my lungs so when you stare
Picture the glare in the sun
The suns sets when I perish i'm done
One

One day, the dark nights might fade us
At least I got to shine like the greatest
I said:
One day, the dark nights might fade us
At least I got to shine like the greatest
Today, the dark nights might fade me
But the shine never made me
It was the, heart of the lion
See a man's vision
Praying in the church of ambition amen
