I'll choke oh yeah, I know I'll choke
No smoke for me, no smoke to choke
I'll choke I wish I could keep it all down
No joke can't you hear? can't you hear that sound?
Doomed to repeat like I'm a broken machine
The same worn out script, reads like a tired old scene
It's feeding my doubt, takin' comfort in lies
The acrid stench of failure is burnin' my eyes
Can't swallow the status quo, I choke on the taste
Something's gotta give, I don't have patience to waste
Lights up, look like my time has come
To break this mold, rewrite what I have become
I can't back down, it's I do or I die
I gotta go bigger, at least I just gotta try.
They say, "Yo be quiet, stay in your lane"
But conformity's been the source of my pain
I wish I were a misfit, a dreamer, a saint
But my own delusion is the reason I ain't
Can't swallow the status quo, I choke on the taste
Something's gotta give, I got no patience to waste
Lights up, looks like my time has come
To break this mold, rewrite what I have become
I can't back down, yeah it's I do or I die
I just gotta push myself, I just gotta try.
Yeah, the doubters blow me kisses, and the trolls call me names
I don't know why it makes me wanna be the one to change
A soiled phoenix rising, broken wings by my side
Gonna make my return noticed, or at least say that I tried
Lights up, look like my time has come
To break this mold, rewrite what I have become
I can't back down, it's I do or I die
I gotta go bigger, at least I just gotta try.
So lights up, my evolution is here
I ain't gonna take no skitt, I got nothin' to fear
Lights up, yeah, my bark is my bite
It lets me crawl out of my bed for another wasted night
