| [00:11.63] |
Uh |
| [00:12.46] |
I hope that God decides to talk through him |
| [00:15.02] |
That the people decide to walk with him |
| [00:17.37] |
Regardless of pitchfork cosigns I've jumped |
| [00:20.01] |
Make sure the soundman doesn't cockblock the drums |
| [00:23.06] |
Let the snare knock the air right out of your lungs |
| [00:25.77] |
And those words be the oxygen |
| [00:28.46] |
Just breathe |
| [00:29.69] |
Hey man, regardless I'm a say it |
| [00:31.00] |
Felt like I got signed the day that I got an agent |
| [00:33.96] |
Got an itunes check, shit man I'm paying rent |
| [00:36.86] |
About damn time that I got out of my basement |
| [00:39.39] |
About damn time I got around the country and I hit these stages |
| [00:42.73] |
I was made to slay them |
| [00:44.35] |
Ten thousand hours I'm so damn close I can taste it |
| [00:48.06] |
On some Malcolm Gladwell, David Bowie meets Kanye shit |
| [00:51.58] |
This is dedication |
| [00:53.61] |
A life lived for art is never a life wasted |
| [00:56.32] |
Ten thousand |
| [00:56.95] |
|
| [00:57.28] |
Ten thousand hours felt like ten thousand ants |
| [01:02.41] |
Ten thousands ants, they carry me |
| [01:08.20] |
Ten thousand hours felt like ten thousand ants |
| [01:13.61] |
Ten thousands ants, they carry me |
| [01:18.73] |
|
| [01:19.23] |
Now, now, now |
| [01:19.58] |
This is my world, this is my arena |
| [01:21.82] |
The TV told me something different I didn't believe it |
| [01:24.53] |
I stand here in front of you today all because of an idea |
| [01:27.88] |
I could be who I wanted if I could see my potential |
| [01:30.92] |
And I know that one day I'm a be him |
| [01:33.26] |
Put the gloves on, sparring with my ego |
| [01:35.68] |
Everyone's greatest obstacle, I beat 'em |
| [01:37.93] |
Celebrate that achievement |
| [01:39.13] |
Got some attachments, some baggage I'm actually working on leaving |
| [01:42.14] |
See, I observed Escher |
| [01:44.29] |
I love Basquiat |
| [01:45.54] |
I watched Keith Haring |
| [01:46.83] |
You see I study art |
| [01:48.22] |
The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint |
| [01:50.59] |
The greats were great cause they paint a lot |
| [01:53.36] |
I will not be a statistic |
| [01:55.39] |
Just let me be |
| [01:56.46] |
No child left behind, that's the american scheme |
| [01:58.79] |
I make my living off of words |
| [02:00.30] |
And do what I love for work |
| [02:01.64] |
And got around 980 on my SATs |
| [02:04.48] |
Take that system, what did you expect? |
| [02:06.84] |
Generation of kids choosing love over a desk |
| [02:09.65] |
Put those hours in and look at what you get |
| [02:12.52] |
Nothing that you can hold, but everything that it is |
| [02:15.31] |
Ten thousand |
| [02:16.03] |
|
| [02:16.32] |
Ten thousand hours felt like ten thousand hands |
| [02:24.59] |
Ten thousands hands, they carry me |
| [02:27.12] |
Ten thousand hours felt like ten thousand hands |
| [02:32.76] |
Ten thousands hands, they carry me |
| [02:37.36] |
|
| [02:39.21] |
Same shit, different day, same struggle |
| [02:40.08] |
Slow motion as time slips through my knuckles |
| [02:43.92] |
Nothing beautiful about it, no light at the tunnel |
| [02:46.92] |
For the people that put the passion before them being comfortable |
| [02:49.74] |
Raw, unmedicated heart no substitute |
| [02:52.52] |
Banging on table tops, no subs to toot |
| [02:56.01] |
I'm feeling better than ever man, what is up with you? |
| [02:58.86] |
Scraping my knuckles, I'm battling with some drug abuse |
| [03:01.66] |
I lost another friend, got another call from a sister |
| [03:04.25] |
And I speak for the people that share that struggle too |
| [03:07.26] |
Like they got something bruised |
| [03:08.86] |
My only rehabilitation was the sweat, tears and blood when up in the booth... |
| [03:12.84] |
|
| [03:23.92] |
It's the part of the show |
| [03:25.32] |
Where it all fades away |
| [03:26.78] |
When the lights go to black |
| [03:28.06] |
And the band leaves the stage |
| [03:29.48] |
And you wanted an encore |
| [03:30.75] |
But there's no encore today |
| [03:32.17] |
Cause the moment is now |
| [03:33.34] |
Can't get it back from the grave |
| [03:34.58] |
|
| [03:35.85] |
Part of the show |
| [03:36.84] |
It all fades away |
| [03:38.00] |
Lights go to black |
| [03:39.38] |
Band leaves the stage |
| [03:40.83] |
You wanted an encore |
| [03:42.50] |
But there's no encore today |
| [03:43.47] |
Cause the moment is now |
| [03:44.65] |
Can't get it back from the grave |
| [03:47.92] |
|
| [03:51.71] |
Welcome to the heist |
| [03:57.95] |
Welcome to the heist... |
