random throwaway songs - outcast lyrics

(verse 1 + tyler, the creator)
they told me i’m a phase, said “that kid won’t last,”

built up my own empire, yeah, brick by brick
like it’s ‘83, but i’m rakim with a twisted twist

call me loud and reckless, i got lines that don’t age
turnin’ bars to boulders, stackin’ stones on the stage
heavy like biggie’s stash, verses cut like a knife
this pen got me pac, fightin’ both death and life

they whisper my name, weird’s what they don’t get
still paintin’ pictures vivid, make ‘em talk like i’m andré’s silhouette
i built a whole kingdom, ain’t waitin’ for thrones
young tyler, i’m takin’ what’s mine, settin’ stones

i’m burnin’ through pages, spit raw, full of heat
call it ghostface revival, hear my heart in each beat
line after line, yeah, i’m claimin’ my lane
i’m climbin’ with giants, no two steps the same

(chorus)
they paved the way before me, now i’m here to ignite
took sparks from their fires, made ‘em blaze in my sight
craftin’ my story from the legends they told
they passed down the flame, now i’m takin’ control
echoes of greatness, yeah, they live in my tone
birthed from the legends, but i’m breakin’ my own
handed the tools, now i’m set to define
carvin’ out my path, yeah, i’m buildin’ a shrine

(verse 2 + andré 3000)
from the balcony watchin’, proud and worn
been decades in the game, like i weathered the storm
turned this mic to a paintbrush, words to a frame
kept spinnin’ vinyl, but the faces all changed

saw that fire in their eyes, same hunger i knew
they’re feelin’ invincible, like i once did too
built my own style in that golden haze
but a king learns to bow at the end of his days

still breathin’ life in these lines, feelin’ the beat
but this chapter’s for them, so i’m takin’ a seat
let ‘em build up the world, one verse at a time
my past laid the brick, now they’re buildin’ the climb

(bridge)
will they still know my name when the lights all fade?
or am i just passin’ like a seasonal wave?
legends in my rearview, shadows grow tall
i’m writin’ my story, but afraid of the fall

(outro + shared)
tyler: they told me i’m young, but i’m feelin’ so old
andre: carved a life from these verses, stories i sold
tyler: i’m reachin’ for somethin’ that i’ll never hold
andre: but ain’t it the journey, the climb through the cold?

(both)
built up by legends, now it’s our time to burn
every moment a page, every lesson a turn
young blood and wisdom, blendin’ past into gold
we’re just tryna make peace with the stories we told
