[Verse 1: Lyte]

Problems, you know that I got 'em

But I won't rot at the bottom, I feel like the Joker from Gotham

Lyte really out of his noggin, keep watch, keep watch

Look at all the scrubs that do love to box and detox (Detox)

Time to get rid of them drugs and toxins

So I'm plottin', never stoppin' 'til I'm reachin' the top

Tell me do you understand what I'm speakin' or not?

Pay attention 'cause you floppin' and I'm teachin' the flock

Failure's not an option when a priest on your block

And I ain't lyin', I'm grindin' tryin' to pay bills for brokers

Perfect timin', I'm shinin' try to make mills, but no

No denying, I'm dying, my rhyming skills are dope

But kills the hope, fuck it I've got pills to cope

I need to (Need to) chill and smoke

Come real with folks 'til I'm ill or croak

Bitch I'm still the goat

You heard me, heard me 'til I'm dead or laid up on that gurney

Forever my team riding dirty, so follow the Lyte and come join this journey


[Chorus: Madame Macabre]

I've had my fair share of sorrows (Sorrows)

I've lived others' dreams but not my own (My own)

So here's to my brighter tomorrow (Tomorrow)

I'm so much more out on my own (My own)

Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now?)

I've become every doubt you ever had in me

When you see me now (When you see me now)

I'll be so much more than what you thought I'd be


[Verse 2: Lyte]

Bitch I'm on a mission, never stopping the vision

Now listen, can't you see a ninja in the perfect position?

I'm certain the mission ain't gonna need a principal mission

To tell me this another step and put the trick in submission

I'm working the system, I'm hurting you, wishing that I would fall flat

Get back up and do again, that's what they all lack

Never giving no dedication is what you call that

No more waiting patient, my headache can make a small crack

Placing on the ball, bet you're numb to pain

To dumb your brain, what are you, um? Insane

I got none to gain, this rum to blame

It's time for this bum to change and run the game (Nanana)

From underpaid to hunger pains

I feel that something to say so I come to claim

And if not that drum will bang

I don't give a fuck about a ton of fame

Trust me, though (Trust me, though), it must be solved (It must be solved)

If I slip, my clique will pick me up and dust me off

And put me back on the path 'cause this road

We made it whether I'm blowed or faded, that's a no debatin' bitch


[Chorus: Madame Macabre]

I've had my fair share of sorrows (Sorrows)

I've lived others' dreams but not my own (My own)

So here's to my brighter tomorrow (Tomorrow)

I'm so much more out on my own (My own)

Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now?)

I've become every doubt you ever had in me

When you see me now (When you see me now)

I'll be so much more than what you thought I'd be


[Verse 3: Lyte]

Got an angel and a demon in my ear and I don't know who to take advice from

And it's all becoming so crystal clear that I'm cold as ice numb

And this life comes with a price and I sacrifice tons

Just to live a nice one, I'm fightin' just like Tyson

I'ma roll this pair of dice 'til paradise come

Telling me to quit and give it up, your advice dumb

Working years of life away for something that ain't guaranteed

Apparently they swear to God they care but disappear and leave

Y'all here to breathe, where is he? Seriously I dare he pleads

Tell me to my face that I'm the one that you can bear to see

Now answer real, hit me hard just like a cancer feel

Same shit, different day, look at me stuck in this hamster wheel

In circles like a racetrack for the money I need ASAP

In a place that I can be myself can you tell me where that place at?

It's right here, it's a lightyear, we finally won baby

I put that on my son, my life done took a one-eighty


[Chorus: Madame Macabre]

I've had my fair share of sorrows (Sorrows)

I've lived others' dreams but not my own (My own)

So here's to my brighter tomorrow (Tomorrow)

I'm so much more out on my own (My own)

Can you hear me now? (Can you hear me now?)

I've become every doubt you ever had in me

When you see me now (When you see me now)

I'll be so much more than what you thought I'd be
