[00:29.52]Mosh pit rowdy, party people shouting
[00:32.94]Crazy in the crowd but the silence is the loudest
[00:36.08]When Babs cuts the beat my ears still ringing
[00:38.77]The emptiness is deafening, the houselights beaming
[00:42.06]And the fans start leaving and the man starts sweeping
[00:44.77]It all seems surreal like I can't stop dreaming
[00:47.79]Bartenders and the sound-man cleaning
[00:51.15]But minutes ago people were dancing on the ceiling
[00:54.11]Fiending for that buzz till the dawn breaks night
[00:56.95]I crash barely with the high but I still take flight
[00:59.59]Fighting isolation but I won't chase the fame
[01:02.62]But moths can't help it, born to chase the flame
[01:05.63]Twists up and sips up and to erase the same
[01:08.65]Darkness served with the bitter taste of pain
[01:11.56]Raised in Hollywood but real life is more than stranger
[01:14.66]It's the sun shining from my California manger
[01:17.86]I never thought that life was gonna be this way
[01:23.08]But every battle I fight makes me stronger every day
[01:30.26]And Lord knows I've been through some low valleys
[01:34.83]Even though my clothes are torn, my pride is strong
[01:38.73]I'm still king in my crown of thorns
[01:41.78]I cipher to the team, mix-tape to a family
[01:44.61]I battle the hustler's hand with my life dabbling
[01:47.95]Redirection is the key to fifty-two choose one
[01:50.98]Baby born with black magic, maybe time to use some
[01:53.87]Now I'm the only thing stopping me
[01:56.97]Elders told me "walk free" when they gave me prophecy
[02:00.82]But that option was not to be
[02:02.99]Though I did know it can be difficult to talk to me
[02:06.08]Yeah we could have done more probably
[02:08.92]But we did what we did do properly
[02:11.93]Now I'm older than I thought I'd be
[02:14.72]I'm holding less property and money flowing awkwardly
[02:18.17]But blessed with a spiritual empire
[02:20.43]Inspired to purify em, I just fan the flames and fuel the fire
[02:23.86]Tick-tock, no time to live life scared
[02:26.31]Spread my arms like Christian Hosoi, Christ yeah
[02:30.07]I never thought that life was gonna be this way
[02:34.88]But every battle I fight makes me stronger every day
[02:42.21]And Lord knows I've been through some low valleys
[02:46.78]Even though my clothes are torn, my pride is strong
[02:50.50]I'm still king in my crown of thorns
[02:53.50]In the room full of mirrors I sit and reflect
[02:56.63]So I can correct any defects
[02:59.29]Ev told me I could be more emo
[03:01.60]Then I just laughed and said fucc that, we need more Primo
[03:05.57]He nodded in agreement, ashes on the cement
[03:08.50]Feet to the pavement walking on the deep end
[03:11.81]Messiah footprints all over the industry
[03:14.61]Hennessy numb, no love for the enemy, rappers are puppets
[03:18.72]Look close, you'll see the cables
[03:20.37]Look up, you'll see the hand
[03:21.76]Look back, you'll see the labels
[03:23.34]De facto lawyer learn to read the fine print
[03:26.38]Learned the Latin and Shakespearian that contracts in
[03:29.57]Expansion team still scoring at will
[03:32.05]Angel's the old crisco but then tour in Brazil
[03:35.02]Even so low the family that I brought is real
[03:38.03]Fucc the rumors, Dilated got it on lock still
[03:41.47]I never thought that life was gonna be this way
[03:46.93]But every battle I fight makes me stronger every day
[03:53.94]And Lord knows I've been through some low valleys
[03:58.75]Even though my clothes are torn, my pride is strong
