Becoming Great lyrics

[Verse 1]

Something needs to happen quick before I stop rapping

And become an activist, for human rights

You know I'll practice it, my passion

Says keep on going, bank account, get a job

Friends tell me I’m something special

Head says most people are wrong

If you don’t buy my records it’s truly no problem but

When you ask me when the next show is and

Say you'll come, you better come

Cause I remember every time someone says that they care

Most of them don’t follow through

And if they do I see them there

I like to greet them with both eyes alined with theirs

And break the common misconception that

I'm any further up the stairs

A heavy burden likes to rest inside my lower back

For every person whom I've hurt without my knowing that

The point I focus on the corners of Pandora's box

Collapse and leave me with no other choice like there's no going back

I know I got enough support to stay afloat

But what’s the use, when you can’t afford to make the payments on the boat

[Hook]

I’m hoping that there’s no other way

I’m so aware I might fall awake

No one cares about my hall of fame

I’m so scared of becoming great

I’m hoping that there’s no other way

I’m so aware I might fall awake

No one cares about my hall of fame

I’m so scared of becoming great

[Verse 2]

Now I often ask myself what Im truly accomplishing

I jump into conclusion, and climb in the time bomb machine

I travel to the roots gather until inside of me

A tiny little mustard seed begins expanding silently

The whisper keeps me well distracted walking down the street

Winter in the norths enough to kill the life outside of me

I gotta learn to stop but without giving up or in

Too much is never enough when it comes to opening

The doors to my perception are closed

The wars a metaphor for imperfection

As the ghost of past souls march around

The caterpillar and clap for it as it wraps things within itself, around itself

Knowing it's time to expose what it knows for sure it that

Which it always was was never hole

Just part heart part skull in clothes

Temporarily out of order, but so soon in control You know

Soon in control you know, so soon in control you know

Soon in control, you know, you know, you know

[Hook]

I’m hoping that there’s no other way

I’m so aware I might fall awake

No one cares about my hall of fame

I’m so scared of becoming great

I’m hoping that there’s no other way

I’m so aware I might fall awake

No one cares about my hall of fame

I’m so scared of becoming great
