The Statement

[Verse 1: D-Marsh]

I spend my days learning how to live from the dead

Contemplating how not to live in my head

As if there was another option I could choose instead

Man I listen, but I can never catch what they said

Rap’s been dead, and I’m back from the living

D-marsh on the track, go head act like a cynic

But when the sample drops, and them claps are in rhythm

It’s time for that skyfall, word is bond, better ask for forgiveness

The apocalypse is not a moment, it’s a life time

It’s warm winter rain that falls out of a bright sky

When that sun came out I thought I might cry

I’m just the shy-type, moonlighting as a nice guy

Spent the last year searchin for the right vibe

Not another rapper standin on a white lie

Found my life line in a net like wi-fi

Words I can recite live, might as well write mine


[Verse 2]

Inspiration, been lookin all over, where did I place it

Sometimes it goes off and I chase it

Basically, at this point I fuckin taste it

That’s what the fuck you really call a sensation

I’m tryin stay patient, cuz life is limitation

And put out good art, cuz life is imitatin

I put my faith in these chops and breaks cuz its sacred

Take six, a four beat count-in to amazement

Thought that I was ill, but I guess I was contagious

It’s a plague when its, spreadin across the nation

You might hear it in a basement, but never on the station

Disgracing every crap rapper out there spittin fake shit

Face it, dudes hate cuz I’m their replacement

So I Better sign my name every time that I make a statement

Marsh, aka martian in the spaceship

They want my contact but they couldn’t see me with lasic


[Verse 3]

Play this, been workin all night just to say let

Rap’s tombstone shake this here is the graveshift

Just to let the ancient legends know they can wake this

Here is the reason that I can’t quit, Push until I make it

The blatant hatred, I faced it, embraced it

This wasn’t my ass fault, I told you it was pavement

Some shit I roll over man that’s what you call repayment

Can’t let this game break me, cuz I’d rather just change it

Now I’m that muthafucka, my rap’s under raps

I am back, more relaxed, hope it lasts through the summer

You saw the flash count down get ready for the thunder

Cuz the flow won’t stop no plumber no wonder

My foot on the gas til I crash no drummer

Time to wake up so I pull back the covers

Funny how you sleep on us cuz you hate the dream

They doubt that I’m real shit they’ll see I make believe


[Verse 4]

I spend my nights learning how to sleep in a dream

Silence is a curtain that my thoughts come between

I’m living out the cost but I forgot what it means

But I realized that Being lost is serene

Ask what I believe and I’ll guess what the weather’s like

I foresee a storm but then again I’m never right

When I was a child the dark had me terrified

But I’ve learned that adulthood is the art of being scared of light

Cuz really we fear our imagination

It’s a morbid fascination with that shit you wouldn’t dare to like

But its in you somehow, show me a parasite

I’ll show you a paradise, better prepare to fight

The erudite’s truism, it never is clear advice

The mind is capable of shit that I couldn’t prepare to write

So I breathe deep, seek peace, and now I’m speakin in fahrenheit

Yeah, you better dare to write (down, down, down...)
