I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Yo, y’all better wake up; you think we don’t see y’all drifting?
Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position? (position)
Sit straight and listen; what you are missing
I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen
No indecision, I spit right
Heavy as a fist fight
No gloves and no masks
No pain and no slack
No way to look back
Nobody to say I can’t make my own path
Cause the way that y’all act, I wanna break something
Comin’ at me like the pain I feel means nothing
Comin’ from a place where you can’t relate
Where every word from your face comes across as fake
And I can hardly take, the way that y’all treat us
Sending this out to anyone who won’t believe us
Spelling it out so y’all know the deal
And if you can’t feel it, maybe you can’t feel
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you saying?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writing?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
Tell ‘em, Motion
Eat your words
Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack (rap attack)
My conversation’s stacked, I switch my defense on you
Every time you want to get deep you’ll see my knuckle package
Born to die, ferocious emcee make you go back and write your rhymes
My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
It moves, I’m strangling as I’m swinging as main mangler
I wan

You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty

Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an emcee

You’re killing me
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes

You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up
So how does it stack up? None of it’s real

You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness
Inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person
With these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy
The words revealed
Is the only real thing that
I’ve got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own
I wanna heal
I wanna feel what
I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I’ve felt so long
Erase all the pain till it’s gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I’m
Close to something real
I wanna find something
I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe
I didn’t fall right down
On my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it
All in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
Cause I can’t justify the way
Everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own
I wanna heal
I wanna feel what
I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I’ve felt so long
Erase all the pain till it’s gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I’m
Close to something real
I wanna find something
I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know myself
Until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else
Until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till
I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today
I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
Skin to bone and steel to rust.
Ash to ash, dust to dust.
Let tomorrow have its way
with the promises we made.
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Your deception, my disgust.
When your name is finally drawn,
I’ll be happy that you’re gone.
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Ahhhh
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Ahhhh
Skin to bone and steel to rust.
Right to left and left to right.
Night to day and day to night.
As the starlight fades to grey,
I’ll be marching far away.
Right to left and left to right.
Ahhhh,
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.
Ahhhh
Skin to bone and steel to rust.
Let tomorrow have its way
with the promises we chase.
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Skin to bone, steel to rust.
Weep not for roads untraveled,
weep not for paths alone,
Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end.
It’s the worse kind of pain I’ve known
Give up your heart left broken
and let that mistake pass on
cause the love that you lost
wasn’t worth what it cost
and in time you’ll be glad it’s gone.
Woah оh
Weep not for roads untraveled,
weep not for sights unseen.
May your love never end and if you need a friend
There’s a seat here along side me.
Woah оh
Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true
Now I find myself in question....
[They point the finger at me again]
Guilty by association....
[You point the finger at me again]
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question....
[They point the finger at me again]
Guilty by association....
[You point the finger at me again]
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I'm gonna run away
and never say good bye...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
I'm gonna run away
And never wonder why...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
I'm gonna run away
And open up my mind...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
Lies...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
Lies...
[Gonna runaway, Gonna runaway]
Lies...
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I wanna runaway
And open up my mind...
I wanna runaway
And open up my mind...
I wanna runaway
And open up my mind...
I wanna runaway

Hey, Mike, what’s up?
This is Roc, just asking you what’s happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if you’re going to see Joe sometime soon, too,
because he’s got my keyboard that I’ve been trying to get back
I’ve been trying to call him and he hasn’t been returning any messages
so I’m seeing what the best angle is to, you know, get it back
Graffiti decorations under a sky of gray
This constant apprehension still giving me away
The lessons I've forgotten
Inside of all I've learned
Now I find myself in question
point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
point the finger at me again
i wunna run away [never say goodbye]
wanna no the truth [ instead of wondaring why]
wanna no the answers [ no more lies]
wanna no the truth [ no more lies]
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind x3
Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of gray
This constant apprehension won't seem to go away
All my talk of starting over
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
point the finger at me again
I'm guilty by association
point the finger at me again
I wanna runaway x2
I wanna know the truth x2
I wanna know the answers x2
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind x3
Hey yo
I don’t think ya'll ready for what I'm about to do
Y'all new school dudes ain't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Two urban jazz DJ's they paved the way
Let me spit it to y'all who said I wasn't gonna make it
Every time I blaze it, ya'll the first to hate it
My team rains supreme and stays strong
Every 2 series son, they scared to put us on
Can't get with the high prince, get off your atis
Too many of y'all is dyin' for us so I gotta blaze it
I'm still reppin BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family alienation
Banging hits in the backyard
Out on the episode
I'm a little kid named
