Avatar Rap - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Awake, how long has it been?

All I wanted was escape from the arrow on my skin

All I wanted was escape from the peril I was in

Didn't want responsibility, I just wanted friends

I just ran away, thought that later I could make amends

Gyatso, he would have to understand me in the end, right?

But that adventure lead me to descend

It would be a hundred years before I saw the light again

When I did, it was a friendly face, Katara was her name

With her brother Sokka, three of us, we bonded right away

I had to go and see my brethren, and see what had became

Of the temple I was raised in, I'm sure they were OK

But as soon as we arrived, I knew that everything had changed

Everything that I had known was gone, nothing was the same

That was when I saw him, nothing left but his remains

From a Fire Bender battle, and then all I felt was rage

[Pre-Chorus]

I can feel it

Now, now

I can feel it

Now, now

[Chorus 1]

How could this happen? All my people dead

And I could've made a difference if that day I never fled

All these different emotions now parading through my head

How could I betray my people when they needed to be lead?

With the power of the Avatar I'd repay the debt

I'd avenge my fallen people and the memory they left

I would learn the different elements and journey on a quest

And with those new developments unshackle the oppressed

Be the greatest that there ever was, extinguish Fire Lord

And with all of us together, then the balance is restored

Destiny is where I'm headed, victory, I'm going toward

And when I can control it, it will be the end of war

[Verse 2]

But before then, I just had to learn

I would travel to the different tribes, knowledge that I yearned

Roku said that it would be the end when Sozin did return

So I sharpened my abilities to ready for the burn

It would end with me arriving at the temple in the East

To unleash my inner Chakra, taught by guru man Patihik

He told me to release that, I would need to face fear

Let go of any guilt and any shame based drear

Free myself of any baggage for abandoning my family

Accept that I'm the Avatar, and always how it had to be

Then he told me free myself of all illusions

And the Nations, we are one, and are the strongest as a union

When we reached the final Chakra, I was ready to pursue it

And that was when he told me give up what had made me human

He said give up all attachments had to happen in the end

I would need to let Katara go in order to ascend

[Pre-Chorus]

I can feel it

Now, now

I can feel it

Now, now

[Chorus 2]

How could this happen? This is how it ends?

And could all of this had been avoided if I never fled?

But if I don't release, then everybody's good as dead

How could I betray my people when they needed to be lead?

With the power of the Avatar could repay the debt

Could revenge my fallen people and the memory they left

I have learned the different elements and journeyed on the quest

So was all of that for nothing? Nah, I'll carry the oppressed

Be the greatest that there ever was, extinguish Fire Lord

Bring the Nations all together, let the balance be restored

Destiny is where I'm headed, victory, I'm going toward

I'm the Master of the Elements and ender of the war

[Outro]

I won't kill you, but you deserve it

So obsessed with power, was it worth it?

The people that you lead, they was scared

Fear doesn't motivate, real loyalty, you earn it

I'm giving you the sentence worse than death

I won't take your final breath, but your power, it is worthless

And now I can finally say

That I now Aang, have fulfilled my purpose
