king madi - desolate road lyrics

ladies and gentlemen, king madi

[verse 1: king madi]
looking back on how we parted, the dream started in kentwood
grand rapids, michigan, visiting the 616 again
going down memory lane, but our identities changed
these are the pictures that cannot be framed
so i just reminisce on these days
back when the kids actually went outside to play, man things done changed

but i still cannot ever forget where my roots sprout from now
i was burning cds with pb before i even had an album out
battle rapping on the rooftops at the park, we was getting kicked out
just kids being young and dumb
who ever would have thought that i’d find something special from
a hobby that used to connect me and my day ones
and i’m doing this for real now, it’s how i heal now
used to be ashamed, now i say it real loud
this is more than a hobby to me
they run away when i’m around, looking like bobby to me
i’m proud to be me, all the sh+t that i’ve been through, i kept my ground
there’s more that makes a king than just a crown

[pre+hook: king madi]
all alone, i walk this desolate road
(no one beside me, see the pain all inside me)
it’s time to grow, even if i am alone
(life can be so confounding, god bless all that surround me)

[hook: king madi]
yeah, but this is my journey
i stopped letting people in that are not worthy
father time ain’t really got time for me
you either with me, or you getting left behind baby, yeah
yeah, this is my journey
i stopped letting people in that are not worthy
father time ain’t really got time for me
you either with me, or you getting left behind baby, yeah

[verse 2: king madi]
most people probably think i’m being selfish
i’ve awoken from this dream world, people are empty, so act reckless
in hopes someone will see their actions as a cry for help
but the only person who is really there for you is yourself
and that’s real, my talent had me turning down a couple small deals
just because i didn’t have the time as a kid
so just imagine when i get this brand built
they couldn’t reach my height, not even on stilts
king madi, know i’m going in for the k!ll
i’ve been rocking mics since tyson and phelps
say what you want, real talent speaks for itself

i had a flip+phone until high school
i’ve never really been about this internet sh+t
but i’ve been rapping ‘fore we even had netflix
so if my name is in your mouth, then respect it
because your shots are weak, and surely will be neglected
shoutout to everyone who stuck by me, it is a blessing
i’m just getting started, nowhere close to the end yet, king

what is me? who am i? i?
akashic records cycling through my mind, yet i can’t find
the words to describe
what is? what is? what is i?
what is? what is, what is, what is? yeah
what is? what is? yeah

i view everyone as data, predictable, programmed data
yeah, but i’ve been hip since newstalgia
went back to my roots, use this instrumental as a canvas
voice of the forest in my head, helping me through the matrix
i don’t understand it
experiment with the real world, now i’m back to the simulation
i can go in and out like i’m neo, now i’ve gotta save my people
i will never give up, no, no, what is?

what is, is?

it don’t make no sense, how can we believe we’re the only intelligent species?
whole world right now in need of an ego death right now
what is now? what is?
