Lyrics
(Intro)
Here I stand, bold and alone
Frozen in time, frozen in my mind
So I ask myself..Who am I? Where am I?
Am I breathing, am I dreaming, am I even alive?
(Verse 1)
They can't hold me back, I'ma stone wall with a little crack
You can throw your rocks it won't turn into a bigger crack
Beat a path, pave my own way through this cluttered map
I don't follow trends, trends follow what I spit in raps
Shit..how the fuck do I follow that?
Out write my mind until it is nothing but a hollow trap
Swallow that, its hard to come to terms with the truth
Especially when its your our own two eyes that are starring back at you
Damn..they say hind sights 20/20
I think that line comes across a little funny
Nothings ever clear, memory recalls things a little fuzzy
Only god can judge me, must be talking about Illuminati
Well I'm an Atheist, so fuck them and their paper money
Can't control my mind, keep my thoughts tapered runny
Commercialized critics who want to think that their above me
Look into my eyes and see why motherfuckers love me
(Chorus)
Here I stand, bold and alone
Froze in time, frozen in my mind
So I ask myself, Who am I? Where am I?
Am I breathing, am I dreaming, am I even alive?
Why do we lie to ourselves? To protect ourselves? Or to protect our pride?
Pride..how much does it affect the mind?
It can turn yourself against you, against your closest friend, against the person you swore to love
Well..I suppose it's all relative in the end
Cause in the end we die alone
Alone..where's the pride in that?
It's a vicious cycle, day to night night to day, its hard to change your ways
Paradigms..some say they shape the human psyche
Take that with a grain a salt, just take it lightly
Even the mightiest have fallen from their thrones at one time
And when you're that high
You find yourself competing with more than one mind
Stay true to yourself, express what you feel inside
You have one life, one voice, and only two eyes
Don't live blind, cross the line and divide
Put the pen to the pad, heart to the mind, it's time to start the design
(Chorus)
Here I stand, bold and alone
Frozen in time, frozen in my mind
So I ask myself, Who am I? Where am I?
Am I breathing, am I dreaming, am I even alive?
(Verse 3)
Alive in a parallel, with a pair of shells, in a carousel, as I stare and dwell into the seven hells
Of torture and pain, the course of the game, the rise and falls and heartbreak that come with fortune and fame
Constricted in silence, as I watch with shame
A culture convicted with violence, drugs, sex, and pain
Where's their conscience, it's like their morals don't exist
I'm their values and at my temple is a loaded cocked four-fifth
(Bang-Bang) as I let the trigger finger slip
No brains no blame, just a rigored grip
Here's a little tip, listen to your heart
Don't become the same words written in a different script
I'ma break it down for you idiots..this is it
Take another swig, light it up and take a another hit
Break another heart and continue living through your life cycle
Now ask yourself if you would raise your kids to be just like you
(Chorus)
Here I stand, bold and alone
Frozen in time, frozen in my mind
So I ask myself, Who am I? Where am I?
Am I breathing, am I dreaming, am I even alive?
