lyrics

I learned to do it right, by doing it wrong
As I’ve burnt away the fuse on this hypothetical bomb
Now one false move, could be my unmaking
I’m always second guessing my direction, I don’t know which way I’m facing
but that’s how I like it, spontaneous events
I hate feeling comfortable, I love the taste of panic and stress
I don’t care what happens, as long as it happens quick
I’m wishing for a disaster or an timely apocalypse
So I can test my reactions and assess the situation
then add paint to my palette and make my own entertainment
A start from scratch , a reboot to the system
lose it all on a gamble or a calculated decision
Spin the tables, there’s no controlling where it stops
I make a living on losing , I abuse life like a prescription drug
but when I wake up in the morning with a sore state of mind
I’m rejuvenated, medicated, ready to be desensitized

Mic Check, I gotta check this wisdom
Mic Check, I better try to listen
Mic check, I think stupid, but Im not an idiot
Mic Check, but thanks for the feedback and criticism

Before I knew it, I was thinking like a poet
Dreaming of the moment I’d be drinking that poison
forcing emotions to rise that I should’ve left buried
My anger’s burning , I’m worried and hurt, but I’m still thirsty
I’m thinking to myself like a lonely messenger
the inks not set yet, but I run an auto-correct editor
These metaphors are weak, they won’t reach an audience
They gotta sound more street, make these connections more obvious
Attempt to accept my perspective and respect the method
Double check my melody , then end the sentence

with a question mark, so I can get some answers
Why is the door locked? What’s the secret password
Open sesame, please, I hope you let me it
I need VIP entry and access to the Armageddon ignition

Mao D'Mighty

Mao began rapping young; he used his rhyming skills to try and flirt with cute girls and pretty teachers. After high school, Mao decided to try something: Mao believed he was smart. Mao put his love of rhyme and hip hop to practice.
