Lyrics
As I am Today
RapidFire:
I don't know how everything is happening like this
It's so crooked sometimes I forget what
Brought me to this game, what causes all this pain
How I came up with this name and how I learned to spit these flames
But, I can never forget that, this is what I love
I don't do it for the buzz, I do it for the rush
Of creating a buzz, when the audience goes nuts
When they hear Postmortem bust, it's like heroin to us
All I ever wanted was to be someone in life
And this music is the only way, that I can make it right
I'll rep this til I die, make corrections to your lies
Get revenge on you f*** s and be successful over night
But I'm steady losing faith and I'm falling to the gate
Yet I still hear this microphone calling out my name
You can blame it all on fate, you can say that I'm a fake
But you don't really f*** in know, the way I am today
Hook:
RapidFire:
We stuck in our lives and we can't open our eyes
And it's not a surprise that we somehow manage to survive
SmokaJoka:
But it's ok though, if I say so, it's the way that I am today
And I know, that we may never, get a change of scenery
But it's ok though, if I say so, it's the way that I am today
Laureate:
Trapped in this black of the mistakes of my past
Backtrack to the facts that I missed at first glance
You'll see what I do as the vision's imprinted
And maybe if you listen you can understand my vision b***
Everyday just drifting by finally stopped lookin at the sky
No more lies no more surprise I'm sick of praying to the Divine
Wading through this pile of sh** the match is lit I reek of it
Some locks are picked through time and wit but still i know I'm gonna trip
Tryna take it day by day, but sh** follows me, play by play
Made my way through shades of grey, blindly tyna feel my way
Outta this mess and this process, lookin for a place to rest
But time is pressed on this conquest can't collapse from all the f*** in stress
Layin back is repetition, mentally out of commission
Wishin I could finish what I quit when I was f*** in livin
Trippin over obstacles the impossible suddenly logical
No far to go just take it slow, and let me fall to the fire below
Hook:
RapidFire:
We stuck in our lives and we can't open our eyes
And it's not a surprise that we somehow manage to survive
SmokaJoka:
But it's ok though, if I say so, it's the way that I am today
And I know, that we may never, get a change of scenery
But it's ok though, if I say so, it's the way that I am today
SmokaJoka:
Stuck in this and I don't know what to do
And I don't know who to see, but I know I need to keep my
mind from this bleak, f*** in life that I hold
Even though I try, feels like I'm out my mind
There's more about my rhyme, then you can imagine
And I don't know what's happening, with this type of satisfaction
that I used to get with rappin, just the way I am today
And I guess that's the way that this life intended
And I might be wrong to say the hype is gone
But I write these songs, and I've tried so long
But we moved over it, bout to say f*** it
And it feels like nothing, no I can't bust this
But it's got my head buzzin every time we get support
It pushes me more, til I finally see the shore
Of this life that I wish, would be emptied of sh**
But we simply forget it's the way I am today

But it's ok though, if I say so, it's the way that I am today
And I know, that we may never, get a change of scenery
But it's ok though, if I say so, it's the way that I am today
