Versifyer - Balance Lyrics

The more I scream into the air-the more I like the silence here-
The more I lose the more I win-when frightened I don't hide my fear-
I chase it down and I'm prepared-to make the future mine this year-
And I don't care-what's right or fair-my happiness for my despair
Is up for trade it's kind of rare-to have the chance to finally air-
Out all your f*cking problems onto-pages so I write this here
In recognition that I've got this-outlet some can't quite compare-
Their ways of finding balance-mines my mind I kind of like it here-
Back to the paper-back to the pen game-back to the wall shit-that one is end game
Back to the grind bruh-back to the insane-dreams of a rap star-back in a big way
Back with a grim name-stackin' the big pay-seems like I win way-too much and this may
Come as a shocker-what did he just say-I said I'm happy-being a bit strange
Once was a shit stain-dumb with a big brain-eightfive eitghts baby-that's what the brim say
Anger was misplaced-music was just rage-hubris and big claims-never made big waves
Now when the click plays-can't ever misplace-me cause I'm number-one let me just say
Yeah that's a big thing-I'm gonna just claim-I'm the only f*cking artist out here rapping this way

Trying to find my balance (I'm just)
Trying to find my balance (might just)
Take the poison chalice (am I)
Ready for the challenge (well?)
Trying to find my balance (I can't)
Ever find my balance (my hands)
Shake with every sound it's (like this)
Life moves on without us (run)

I've been up-I've been down-I hope your-vibin now-I could yell-I could shout-let my e-motion out
I could just whisper it-clean it or censor it-when I deliver it-make it all more devout
I could just take it all-burn it erase it all-bury whatever comes-out of the furnace
But just like a phoenix-when new life emerges-the old life is purged-no more fear only courage
And courage I've gothow the f*ck you think I'm doin' this
I mean f*ck man I'm not new at thisI just never put my shoes in this
The words that I jotare more than just emergences
From in my head I'm certain it'sa cry of hope through worthlessness
Feel how the balance-is shifted so subtly-when you put-things in per-spective (balance)
I can put weight off my shoulders down under me sometimes you gotta caress it (balance)
Separate everything wrong and right bad and good you gotta find you some primal (balance)
Want versus need versus passion and greed and these all get inside you but I know (balance)
Can get you out of anything that you could get caught up in
If you learn to live the way that keeps you on the up when
Times are down and getting pay just isn't adding up it's
All about the balance in between your brain and gut kids

Trying to find my balance (I'm just)
Trying to find my balance (might just)
Take the poison chalice (am I)
Ready for the challenge (well?)
Trying to find my balance (I can't)
Ever find my balance (my hands)
Shake with every sound it's (like this)
Life moves on without us (run)

Teeter totter tipping over
Scrape your knee you're getting older
Years go by you're getting bolder
Sharper but you're growing colder
Pain is starting can't stay sober
Keep your f*cking life in order
Cash your paycheck pay your bills
You best not take to many lovers
If you get slapped turn the other
Cheek don't take a f*cking number
You can't fight your way out of your
Problems anymore muf*cker
Make your bed and fold your covers
Grab some stacks and throw them under
Neath the mattress for a rainy
Day because I hear the thunder

Trying to find my balance (I'm just)
Trying to find my balance (might just)
Take the poison chalice (am I)
Ready for the challenge (well?)
Trying to find my balance (I can't)
Ever find my balance (my hands)
Shake with every sound it's (like this)
Life moves on without us (run)
