m.c. k~swift - then & now lyrics

i found myself having an insecure moment
listening to a dope m.c. and seeing an opponent
feeling as though the shine he was getting should have been mine
this year i’m turning 29, my plan’s 11 years behind

i hate second-guessing myself, it feels dumb as luck
stressing over how these other cats is quickly coming up
knowing i got the talent they got, if not more
young m.c.s telling me that i’m in the top 4
as far as they concerned. i keep pushing ’til the tables turn
last thing on my mind is how my rhymes could help a label earn

is that the cardinal sin?
alright, i’ll try to leave that out for the next article then
play the super hustler role but man it’s hard to pretend
’cause money don’t drive me, i’m spitting to release the artist within
starving again ’cause i stupidly spent money
cooped up in my mama’s house, like how i’ma turn music to rent money?

sick of turning hard work to “i’ma-get-bent” money
’cause now i see what that did for me

[chorus]
if i knew then
what i know now
then i’d know when
and i’d know how
to make which moves
and in what way
but then i wouldn’t be who i am today
and i feel strong
and i feel bright
and i’m doin’ great so everything’s alright
now when i feel down i put on my cape and i fly like
up, up and away. yeah
i feel super, super, super, super, super [2x]
super, super, super, super, super

but i don’t always feel like the freshest hero
on bad days my confidence drops to less than zero
i keep my head high, chin up with my shoulders back
chest full of breath, always set to let the flow attack

when it comes to poetry i feel so relaxed
i’m pretty well known in rap
somebody prob’ly told you that i’m nice
before you even ever heard
how my each and every word
is a fraction of a street-affected nerd
with a revolutionary mind and a kind heart
who loves to work with the youth to produce refined art
and that’s worth a lot, without any accolades
sometimes i wish that i could turn the clock back a ways
release at my problems to decide and back away
and not dwell on feeling like that for half a day

’cause as the time p-sses i think

[chorus]

i crash-landed on this planet
now i’m standing with a canon for a voice and a healthy understanding
that i’m granted with the chance to make a difference while i’m living
and the gift isn’t lasting much longer than an instant
i could have bought my ticket as an infant, no kidding
born with yellow jaundice followed by a meningitis sickness
life is precious so i keep my focus in the right direction
and if i make a misstep, i give myself a slight correction
and i keep it moving, right now my marcher just keeps improvin
so if you with me then let’s see us do this
all in together
walking like we’re taller than weather
and i talk like i’m calling it better
i could see the future peeking through the looking gl-ss at my past
i gotta laugh at some of the things that i’m past
gotta laugh at some of the things that i’ve p-ssed
(gotta laugh at some of the things that i’ve p-ssed)

if i knew then
what i know now
then i’d know when
and i’d know how
to make which moves
and in what way
but then i wouldn’t be who i am today
and i feel strong
and i feel bright
and i’m doin’ great so everything’s alright
now when i feel down i put on my cape and i fly like
up, up and away. yeah
i feel super
