	Story Behind the Song This is a song I stayed up all night writing, I just got a creative surge or somethin cause by the morning it was done. I was in my flat listening to this Dead Prez instrumental, and that got me going. I went back to my parents house and recorded this in about 4 hours, which includes mixing and mastering the vocals. AKA, hard fucking work. Lyrics Now when you see this microphone, it's just a piece of scrap metal- But that metal can help me not have to live my life as broke- Write a poem, my mind alone reminds me of a virgin- Cause not one person has ever got inside my dome- And I have to live with that, you can never understand me- If you wanna try and start to, you have to listen hard- Spittin raps, this and that has me missin class- Competin in the rap game, when most of it's piss and crap- Psychologist at heart, profilin my fuckin social life- I throw a knife and miss and that's where all the shit just starts- Snowballs out of control, I'm now allowin a toke- Fuck comparin me to fakes, cause I'm breakin out of the mold- I'm out on my own, tryin to cope with all this fuckin extra stress- You'd never guess respect's startin to loose his level head- Funny how things turn out in the end, wish I could turn back time- Right back, before I got the sense knocked outta my head- My luck's up, I even get kicked down by my loved ones- Hip-Hop gives me the power to clean the blood and get the fuck up- The golden rule is, whoever has the gold makes the rules- But I don't have shit, so I persist to break the rules- Backlash, that's another thing that I don't fuckin need- My past's crap, it still comes back to me in flashbacks- I've never had cash, I barely have a home, man- Washin with a soap that's just as dirty as my own hands- And my current situation makes me hurt more- Everythin I've ever got from life, I had to work for- Not a push-over, you're cold but I'm colder- I expect enemies whenever I look over my shoulder- Fuck a happy endin, didn't have a happy start- But I'm gonna rap from the heart, even if that is my last redemption- Believe that, everywhere I go I always see traps- These raps are real raps, so who needs feedback?- Please man, for once just forget about the beat and track- And listen to me, you might see how real I really am- I need to huddle, and find the pieces to complete the puzzle- And find my peace, because believe me son, I see the trouble- It's never endin, why can't we just be laid back?- I need to pay back this debt before it adds to stress and tension- Blessed with life, but life tests me and I never fight- Walkin down this long hard road, with no end in sight- Don't fear nonsense, I'm always gonna keep it real- So when I've been and done it I can leave here with a clear conciense- Defiant youth who only wants to be enlightened- But how can I turn to god, when the bible's been explained with science?- I spose I missed the train, I need to fuckin lift the pain- Iscolate myself and let my soul and brain drift away- Switchin lanes, feel like a mercenary hunted- What if the light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be nothin?- My friends get me through it, always lendin their help- But before you better me, I'll have to better myself- I've accepted that, it's just another day in the life- And I'm makin the game pure, but half you rappers ain't playin it right- I'm straight skatin on thin ice in this life- I've done some fuckin dodgy shit, but this time I'll think twice- Stress is gettin to me, but it never wins the battle- Cause I knock it off my shoulders and focus on things that matter-
