cho$en the emcee - looking glass lyrics

[intro]
i’m in a room and all i see are lights around me.. neon lights

[verse 1]
yo, behind the gl-ss i see my past, chasing me with a mask
see i was birthed upon the stage
the world threw me a parade
clouding the sunshine of the spotless mind
see i’m sorta like the fine wine i get better with time
i was birthed upon the dreams of men the lord gave me a sign
gave me the gift to shift the culture
now i’m spitting so divine
i walk a fine line with the reaper right behind me
the devil trying to blind me so i gotta move timely
i blow tracks like ménage à trois back shots
hand c-cked, on wall street trying to make my cash drop
i took a bus told em wake me at the last stop
a ticket in my hand i look behind me there’s a blind spot
the road i see before me i pictured in my past thoughts
guided by my actions now i’m searching for a new response
why such a lonely face? i’m in a lonely place
where people judge you, claim they love you
now let me plead my case
i’m like a blind moses trying to find out where he’s going
a boat with sails and no wind and paddles to keep rowing
i surf the waves of time just to find out where i’m flowing
while the m-sses ketchup this mustard seed is still growing
searching for a higher purpose gotta watch out for these serpents
living behind the closed curtains trying to throw me in the furnace..
i swear these n-ggas they don’t concern us
barefooted through the fire, just to fulfill my purpose
take a walk, a skip and shuffle past the gl-ss through the rain
just to ease the pressure bearing on my right brain
the visions blurry treading still trying to find my path
but i stay haunted by one of the ghosts of the past..

[verse 2]
tell me there’s a way out, how long do we have to live here?
the first chance i’m telling you n-ggas i’m outta here
i’m drowning in a city, my nose can barely find the air
have you felt like a robot that’s always out of gear?
trapped in a confession that’s been pressing my ascension
something’s telling me to leave that i can’t handle the pressure
this reoccurring vision, telling me to listen
telling me that i should follow inside this burning feeling
as the lions eat the lambs in the land of god’s children
as we try to set our marks to climb higher than the ceiling
compared to a sad clown who’s world is tumbling down
i flagged down a cab to drive me to the other side of town..
build your hearts, build your mind, build a revolution
so ahead of time i skipped two steps in evolution
like novacaine i swear to god you never feel us
real recognize real and all i see is smoke and mirrors
from the lights to the shade the background in which we fade
you either build or be destroyed just the way we live our days..
i was lost in maze, where i set the world ablaze
where they tried to box me in, wicked men in high places
disguised as smiling faces, lost like the generations
pray to god for his graces..
i got this sh-t on my mind, and when i die put my mind in a shrine..
