I work every single day, trying to earn from saying
Things that rhyme in hopes to my place
Go and set a foot upon a stage, put my heart on display
I'm okay i'm okay yea yea yea yeah
I work every single day, trying to earn from saying
Things that rhyme in hopes to my place
Go and set a foot upon a stage, put my heart on display
I'm okay i'm okay yea yea yea yeah
I come from, the clock tower, the brass horse
The lit cross, the lift off is from that source
And of course, its carried with me where I go
Varied in place and time so buried with me when I go
And I know, That the heart is where the home is
The hope is, To try to keep it to my chest
On my own quest, keep it singing through my days
All the pleasures and the pain and try to bring it to the stage
Ease out selektah, PLAY THAT SHIT
Then I remove my kicks, another phrase to spit
All the pressure on my brain from that day just lifts
In rhyme form, when sprayed from lips, shit, amazing it
Grips the soul which strays from fist
Spreads across the crowd in hopes to graze their wits
Inspire them or hope that they relate to it
And play to it tickle brains thats it
Now that the crowd is inspired it's more fire!
Zoning with my eyes closed walking on a wire
Accentuating syllables, connecting with the spiritual
Deflecting all the miserable, by talking my desires
Even in a cipher when i'm hollering pass that
Holding court in the circle, spitting knowledge and abstracts
Feeding off the energy and magic these cats cast
Folks saying thats fast, I smile and laugh back
And I love, that feeling that a call and a response gets
Then I bust a verse that brings the feeling beyond it
In hopes to make the head nod and wake the unconscious
With the rhythm and content, beat shaking the complex
And I take it with me, travel the earth
And rhyme with my memories and all that i've learned
Breathing with that comfort and that vision assures
That no matter where I might roam i'll always be home
No matter what the day is i'm feeling at home
Whatevers on my brain man i'm feeling at home
No matter where that stage is i'm feeling at home
Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, i'm home
New York, Baltimore, Twin Cities. I'm home
I work every single day, trying to earn from saying
Things that rhyme in hopes to my place
Go and set a foot upon a stage, put my heart on display
I'm okay i'm okay yea yea yea yeah
Living life, the arguing and differences
Pains, pressures, rain weathers on your temples, its
The precious moments, sunshines in remembrance
That takes you out of it, the stage always gives me this
Just like a simple kiss could raise a heart thats in the pits
Or the little gifts and smiles that they give to kids
The stage erases all the drama in its a mystic drift
Upon an introduction man its like they flip the switch
And then the audience responds with a lifted fist
And nods affirmatives, i'm feeling like they're getting this
Strife i'm going through, good feeling pulls up in a whip
And takes me back home no matter where i'm spitting this
Every day I try to earn from saying
Things that rhyme in hopes to my place
Go and set a foot upon a stage, put my heart on display
I'm okay i'm okay yea yea yea yeah
I work every single day, trying to earn from saying
Things that rhyme in hopes to my place
Go and set a foot upon a stage, put my heart on display
I'm okay i'm okay yea yea yea yeah
Truck stop food, an all night cruise just to hit the next spot to play
Turned up loud in front of a crowd, hope they feel what I got to say
Don't need to recognize all of the words when the syllables start to spray
Just ride the rhythm with me, find the rhythm when your inhibitions start to fade
Then you can go and let your hod nod and get in the groove, grab her hand when she starts to sway
Then its jam man, band or a box, you know you got to get it all today
The whole crowd, when they respond, gets you into a zone, let that energy flow in your veins
And when I start to hear those Kelly Bundy howls from y'all, I'll know where am. . . know what i'm saying
No matter what the day is i'm feeling at home
Whatevers on my brain man i'm feeling at home
No matter where that stage is i'm feeling at home
Burlington, Seattle, LA, i'm home
Bridgeport, Waterbury, Danbury i'm home
