[Verse 1]

Sleeping all your life dreaming of trying things

I just took my first nap as the lion king

I just looked what hurt back when I was dying felt

Like I could never be a star now I'm O'rien's belt

Mid 90's bred the kids that were left for dead

First one to see the fall is he that met the ledge

Given life to the street with no help from greg

Radio was my way out but I was prepped instead

To go through it I spat like I was special ed

Magnificent my sentences are intricate not best compared

To nitwits in these businesses my premise is over your head

Like umbrellas and dumb fellas who met the lead

Duck, ducking the goose, you loose and hope for bread

You flying south for the winter cold weather dark nights and potent red

Born in the slums raised by the red light

Woke till the morning sirens and headlights

Connoisseur of problems cuz swallowing pain constantly

On A tour of my own mind tryna build a bond with me

My mama want me to work for them I want their monopolies

My ex want to move on I'm not the one who's stopping me

My friends no longer fond of me, telling I'm hollywood

Deaf when they talking jams like I'm signed to good

18 felt like I seen the world at best and worst

Should I take over or wait till it get better first

You hear A verse and almost think that I never curse

You're blown away I wonder why my words are deeper more to say

Work like I never seen a dime when I'm currently

Converting foreign currencies tell amounts in perjuries

Never let em know your worth, or they'll buy you out

Never let em see you sweat or they'll try you out

In the smoke holding breath so when I'm announced

I can hit the stage and prove that I am higher now

Higher mind, perusing through this light of mine

Cyanide my contusions help me find the sign

Sayonara my intrusion is personified

As a egotistical hoodlum or a dying god

Haha was that the gospel of him

An awful attempt to aloft to Olymp-us of America hostel events

Trust another Eric be across from Rakim

This time it's Eric C. call that ish progression

I'ma step above the best and just a step away from excellence

I'm a step before twelfth and just addicted to my presence

I'ma wreck before wealth hope this wealth will make me reckless

Gold on my necklace good wood on my pendant, Chao Pack we best this

That independent living

Welcome to the premise where we don't waste no love on women

Everyday I wake up as a cynic with a plan to take over the business

If I don't make I'll be driven, uncomplacent to this prison

Never been aching for minute, better off faking had no feelings

Rappers take the truth and bend it, then I take truth to clinics

When the truth dies then I become it and you succumb to the realness

Absent body present spirit, my great father is Mufasa

I'm the long awaited master and this is return of simba

Forget it I'm a Crosby my grandfather was Alonzo

My real father's name was Eric and Chaos was all that I know

I was grown up in the silence, conversation mi no hablo

I was raised behind the violence super Grover super Gonzo

Bullets flying and I liked it parents fighting till their psycho

In a cycle never slept or saw my eyelids I could try tho

Let the sirens be my guidance, in this darkening alliance

With my heart and my defiance, and my pursuit of a tyrant

Awaken the sleeping giant, kill em without even trying

Silver for your second place this mixtape better go diamond


[Hook]

Baby from the middle 90, what you mean illuminati

Living grimey still will find me, realest ever feel my body

I'm the man of the year. Yeah

Trick I'm on it if you find me, 25/8 365 and

I am sitting where it's shining this my spotlight because I been

The man of the year . . Yeah


[Outro]

Stick up, eyes on me I'm the lustering enigma

Cyclone he take a spin and quickly pickup

Rise only to become the new aristo- crat

Bygones see and rely on me to hold the torch and keep the flame

I abide all three, Chaos play ya'll stay on riot

Mayday Takeoff Chao Tyrants
