Fuck It - Intellectual

[Hook: 25th Parallel]

I got this mic in my fist

I won’t cease or desist

The rewards are worth the risk

Fuck it, I’m gonna do more than exist

[Verse 1: CFB Flobare]

On a parallel universe 25 north

1-21 east putting my life on course

Ripping rhymes to unwind, trying to break from the grind

Small steps for the man, giant leaps for the mind

[Verse 2: NAT]

In my mind I'm still new here but done thinking through clear

I won’t let my ambivalence interfere

Moving past the past, stepping out to be free

Throwing caution to the wind, is it blowing back at me?

[Verse 3: Chen Qilin]

Quit listing out to myself limiting factors

Class, riches, and race are the identity detractors

Ignore the premonitions of impending disaster

Keep my eyes on the prize, it ain’t pride that I’m after

[Verse 4: Jay Zhidao]

Had to toe the ledge to get to know the ledge

To hip-hop I pledge full-fledged

Ready and on edge, to head straight into action

On a path to interact with the fate of this faction

[Chorus: 25th Parallel]

Leaving behind all the times I tried

Conceiving the life that I have in mind

Believing it’s time to revise my line

Fuck it, I gotta do more to define

[Verse 5: CFB Flobare]

Got to live while I can, it won’t last forever

However, got to ensure my endeavours are clever

To weather any storm or attack made to measure

Whatever I may face I won’t crack under the pressure

[Verse 6: Chen Qilin]

All my strength focusing on holding me together

On a mission in my mind I’m like Nebuchadnezzar

I was sick with the spell but now I’m better than ever

On a never-ending quest I’m here to conquer whatever

[Verse 7: NAT]

Whenever stressed I just let life lead me down it’s road

No regrets, it’s the pain that makes you grow

I got to lower my guard, let my inhibitions surrender

If I reset center things will only get better

[Verse 8: Jay Zhidao]

Built up momentum, took a leap and fell

To fail not an option, we must prevail

It’s the two-fifth fucking para-double-L-E-L

Well-equipped with skills that'll tip the scales

[Verse 9: NAT]

Right now I’m ready to get over the

Status quo, gratis flows, and Cali-phony-a

To be complacent is my new phobia

My utopia’s an unknown fear

[Verse 10: Jay Zhidao]

Adrenaline, my friend, don't let me down now

I looked down, it's too late for me to back out

Falling into my role it's time to act out

Zhidao without a doubt, nothing left to ask about

[Verse 11: CFB Flobare]

Roll the dice, decisive, known for rolling precise

Incisive, rhyme priceless

No more trading time for little reward

Got to explore to ensure that my faith’s restored

[Verse 12: Chen Qilin]

Distractions atrocious, hypnotized hopeless

Increase my depth of field and keep focus

I gotta keep my cool to steady my sights

My heart is pumping, now it’s brimming with life
