Mr. Lif - Dawn lyrics

You see my mind gets to clickin'
And the light started blinkin'
Pen steady leakin'
Next thing "Oh we've got a song"
And time keeps on slippin'
Our survival seeming distant
But progression is a lesson
And thus we move along
And I remember Easter when my Mom
Gave me that boom box
Boxing out the world every time
I heard a tune knock
Knocking on my door got no response
I was lost in a small room
In a small apartment in Boston
My own universe with verses bouncing
Off the wall in reverb
Pop quiz, do you remember these words?
"I'm the King of Rock!" and til
This day there is none
Back when musicians flaunted styles
That hadn't been done and era to treasure
I pay homage when I put a pen to
The paper, drop a jewel to school you later
Vapor catches word matches assemble thoughts
(visions) wisdom leaking through my pen
Speaking volumes
Tunes remind me blindly seeing
Life in 2 dimensions (inventions)
Amplifying what I mention
Word, syllable, sentence
Sent this to a million folks I never met
They regard it as an ancient epithet
And they haven't even read it yet
Etiquette pertaining to predicate
My actions attracting interactions from
Factions seeking rations
Cash and jewels escape me as
I walk the streets faintly panicking lately
Usually a calm Brother i suffer
From the stress and duress of the
Windows that I see closing
Never know which ones will be open
And I keep hoping for a little rest
But doesn't seem to be in my cards
So I wake up and I work hard hardly sleeping
Fans needing more of the raw
They tell me never stop
Well I can't promise I'll forever drop
However by request from your favorite chef
Another rhyme written near death
A data platter served best
On a sunny day drive with
Some weed in your chest
Or in the dead of winter when
You've got some time to invest
More or less horrorfest await's
Those who hesitate
And miss their calling in life
This time it's too late but for now
Recognize that God bless the child
With style support my records
Keep me on file and I'll bring forth
With sincerity of course
Some descriptions of my missions as
I'm plotting my course

It's the end of an era
But the dawning of a brand new age
Live your life inside these brand new days
Though they tell you it's terror
It's the dawning of a brand new age
Move forward in these brand new days
Take a look in the mirror
Love yourself inside these brand new days
If you don't, you may molt and decay
Though they tell you it's terror
How I know it? It was wrote on my page
Live your life inside these brand new days
