Soul Position, Greenhouse - Survival lyrics

You in the doghouse? Umm, ba da ba dum, bum
Ba boom ba boom boooom mm, mm, mm, ah-um

Envision my determination like
The anger of a woman scorned
Nine months deep with a seed about to be born
And an alliance to the most high
That can never be torn
Through these life-like lines my
Legacy lives on

With every line written and
Spit I build power
Then construct a palace of solitude in
A land of ivory towers
On a search for solitude when
Every inch is occupied
Claim truth in music where the
Eyes are known to lie

Yo, I was born to die but
For some reason I keep breathin
Every time I write
(write) my thoughts (thoughts) deepen
I dredge the edge of longevity keep keepin
Seekin truth beyond proof of man speakin

Leavin no stone unturned
My eyes burn for higher learnin
Pushin my pen to deconstruct
Life like a surgeon
Determination, it takes great
Patience to operate
Inside closed minds with limited time

"Stay awake to the ways of the world"
"But as the world turns" -
"Survival got me buggin"

Everyone's the same, nobody's different
One down, two replace him
No one's left who missed him
Rap eas' and I learn with
A low learning curve
New raps born by rearrangin the same words

Rearrangin the same verbs
(verbs) nouns (nouns) phrases (phrases)
The torch carried on, same gang
Different faces
Different places, but it's still all adjacent
Underground is underground
But basement's the basement

Some, claim original every time they speak
Then rhyme with the next man's style
Stuck in they teeth
Bite more than you can chew
You might choke on it
I'll make it so you don't want it
You DON'T want it

Y'all plans failed fully cause you
Failed to fully plan
Self made pedestal crumbled cause
It was a sham quickly dropping from the top
But, you never land
Too arrogant to know or notice
You're no longer the man

So I left (left) right (right) through rain
Sleet and snow no matter where
Baggage of the world on my soul
Holdin my own on, all that I know (know)
I'm determined to keep movin
Got places to go

With each step I walk I
Jog a thousand style-biters
Two thousand feet follow the
Star that shines brightest
Strong foundation, microphone science
Determination of divided nation now united

I dares that light to
Pierce the deepest darkness
Bull's-eye aim straight through
Never lose target
Never settle to keep improvin
On my best moves mentality to win
But still not afraid to lose

Not afraid to choose, or make decisions
Braveheart, make all clear with precision
Determinist speak, ought? through wisdom
Persistance helps us complete all missions
