So, MAJA has been my favorite rapper since I started, and he went on what some would call a hiatus, and what I would call normal life. However, I was able to get him to collaborate on two songs, and they were both fantastic. This one is just about feeling trapped. And sometimes, life feels like a maze. And you just have to get out.
lyrics
[Verse 1: MAJA]
As I walk out on this stage
I got my mic, I got my hype, I got my rage, I'm kind of amazed
That I made it, all the way out of this maze when I think about my mistakes
But how can I learn if I cannot burn, like everyone I gotta take turns
'Cause this freestyle's got me locked up, tongue-tied 'cause my tongue died
Ostracized by the diatribes of a dying tribe on my insides
And my sins shine like sunshine in the limelight
Burning my skin like a vampire, damn I'm noticing I write tighter
When I align with that passion, it's like hiring an assassin
To put shame in cross-hairs and get straight to blasting
Bastard sword rapping, the clouds above rain down hard
I got enough self-worth now, I don't need that black card
I don't need that street credit, I'm putting shit on layaway
I'm running around like I'm Limitless and I ain't even gotta pay today
I'm free now, I take space, I'm me now, do you see now
I do these now, I just have faith, keep the pen moving
Cloud nine - I feel superhuman, Super Sayian when I power up
I was rat-racing, paper-chasing, now I'm seeing all the damage doing
Reaping all the advantages and benefits of eliminating all the self-hating
I'm concentrating on honoring all the steps taking I'm almost out the maze
[Hook: MAJA]
Raise a glass
Make a toast
To yourself
Who matters most
If you're winning
Honor your humble
Just remember
Honor your struggle x2
[Verse 2: Granyte]
This is getting insane, I just want you all to see me
The pressure's finally on, guess I just started sinking
Swallowed up by what's in my mind, crushing me like the deep sea
I can't fucking take this anymore, but I can't stop the breathing
Need me? Fuck them all, backpacking bastard plastered like the ceiling
I'm staring at, am I dreaming? 'Cause it's only demons I'm seeing
Please be more than I can see, it's not in the prose, just in the meaning
Ask me what the fuck I mean, I got no clue man, I'm not teasing
Just trying to pass the time, staring at these shadows 'cause they keep creeping
Up the walls, thousand bars, can't get out with any amount of pleading
I am just stuck here until one of you bastards try to read me
When I open up it's my heart and my soul that you're seeing
But no one can find me, 'cause I can't find my way out of this beating
Trapped in the maze, mastered the flame, but about as useful as a match in the rain
The bastard'll pray, maybe fasting today, but about as useful as a hatchet that's clay
God's not here today, but the light showed the way, so one day, I'll break outta this fucking maze
[Hook: MAJA]
Raise a glass
Make a toast
To yourself
Who matters most
If you're winning
Honor your humble
Just remember
Honor your struggle x2
