First Step

Its that first step, i can't take it

I'm cursed, yup, this chance is wasted

on me, I just can't seem to see the faded dream

Of an elated teen come true,

It's not in his genes, to imbue

His words into a genre, already drew

Can't start a saga, chance already flew

by Into the hands of another,

a lyrically gifted brother, a rhythmically twisted other,

Taking shots so fast I need to seek cover

Breaking orthodox culture, and still getting rougher

So I built up my arsenal, i will be getting tougher

Than that guy, he's an obstacle

And soon it won't be possible

To stop me, except for an opportune but marginal

Chance that I get too volatile

Explode on stage, get featured on the front page

That alone would have lowered my blade

Outshone, now he cowered, sobered now, afraid

 

(2x)

But I need to take that first step

I need to take that first step

In order to get where I wanna go

I need to make all my effort known

 

I'm in possession of skill

and have the obsession to kill

Prepared for ascension, instill

so much fear in this dimension, it'll spill

and adhere without discretion

People will look to heaven

But it's feeble, gods been deafened

My music acts as a suppressant to the screams

Acts as a depressant, he'll pay no heed

Things are so fluorescent, I'm just saying my creed

God, please don't hurt me, just let me be!

Woah, did I just wake up, that was all a dream?

Reality is falling apart and it seems

Fallacies are lodging sharp bits in my seams

Perhaps it's time to cede, to give in, break free

Of my desires, but the key I need is missing from this scene

I guess I'll continue on this venue, I'll surpass this ravine

If I remain unseen and die my epitaph will be

That I died prying at a chest containing my dream

 

(2x)

But I need to take that first step

I need to take that first step

In order to get where I wanna go

I need to make all my effort known
