Goliath

By Kid Optimism

[Hook - Sample from Wayward Son by Kansas]

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

I was soaring ever higher

But I flew too high


[Verse 1]

Feel like Goliath when catching stones due to defiance

Form an alliance with gods, got it down to a science

I'm pulling G's accelerating at high speeds

Got that adrenaline pumping, it's difficult to breathe

Illuminati want my soul and my body

Nah, I don't believe that ish

Why does everyone bring up this?

Deep inside the pocket, I'm looking for my receivers

Put the ball in my hands that run over non-believers

Had a label hollering at me already

I wonder if I'm ready

To make the jump from unsigned to signed steady

I don't know much about PEC, but I'll keep it in mind

In the future it's likely that I'll get pushed to my prime

My God given talent reaches new limits

And I once again didn't think they would want me in minutes

Perfecting my craft, the best I'll ever submit

Put it on my damn life, it'll take me up to the summit


[Hook]

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

I was soaring ever higher

But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man

I hear the voices when I'm dreaming

I can hear them say


[Verse 2]

Born and raised with music flowing in my veins

Acknowledge me as a prodigy when I hop out the cave

Quitters never succeed, know that I have a need

To encourage potentially gifted people to breed

Breed as in the reproduction of all hopes and dreams

Slamming ambition and creatvity, evil schemes

To flatten their self-esteem, nit pick 'em to the extreme

Anybody who rises above the hate is supreme

Made the decision to stay unified with my team

Don't know their reputation, it's probably not what it seems

Said I'd never commit to a label I can't trust

'Cause if I sign with the devil, I'd turn out to be a bust

Gliding to the finish line, bet I could do it repeatedly

Surpassing goal after goal, story yet to be told

There always is, there's one always hidden

And it turns out to be the best biography ever written

I love the life I'm livin'!

[Verse 3]

It's monumental the way I be making history

How many pages in the book? It's but a mystery

One of the many to start an odyssey

Possibly qualify to get certified higher up as a novelty

Cause a tsunami, erupting with such force

I crashed into this game with a mentality to enforce

Powered up like a horse, determined to be the source

Of energy needed in hip hop to be absorbed

Nothing short of miraculous

Triggering peace and happiness

Nothing but pure confidence put up in my consciousness

Talk that mad ish and I'll slide you down my esophagus

Listen to my music and question your hypothesis

Get to know an artist before you cause a disaster

It sets me up to be remembered in the life after
