04 KEEP STARING
Keep Staring
Live Mxaku
[Verse 1]
I'm a fish swimming in the cauldron, it's awful, it's hot water
My life's over, better jump over these bitches 'fore they come over
I'm sacred to, die without fighting over my life so
If l run the rings around y'all, you the ground beneath my feet
So fuck your middle ground asshole, I break the chains, l breed success,
l thump my chest, I wage a guerilla war, I'm pissed off
Time l got is too short and for sure this life is brutal
Privileges going awol, dreams already took of
Now I'm forced to live like McCoy, oh boy with less I'll make more
Wreak havoc and cause the chaos fuck life orders l choose war,
times of storms l pray for peacefulness l hate war,
Stiffen up my sinews imitate the tigers actions
If l have to, write my words on the history board I'm an icon
Take my time ingest the spirit of hip hop 'til i'm a top notch,
Bridges unto riches are fragile and so the most fall
If l claim l never prayed never to fall I'm just a liar.
[Choras]
I've been beaten, to some extent
l had some doubts but guess what? when l look into my mirror
I see my feet are like those made of bronze, that glows into
The furnace l hear my voice is like a sound of a waterfall
I keep staring, coming from mouth
Is a double edged sword, look at the sky i am coming
With clouds, eyes blazing with fire my face is like
A sun shining In it's brilliance, so l keep staring
[Verse 2]
Got a wish and l wish l would talk about peace in my music
The music people could listen and relate to, but they won't
cause it's thin on the ground to talk about love in this game
I love my chick, lemma rephrase that l fuck with that bitch
Wish l get riches, visions of quitting kissing your asses
The fruits of hip hop are relished by man we view as conceit
Buckle in with a bit of a grin and tackle the thing that cannot be
Done, take of your coat and start to do it
Hate your haters for saying your passion will be diminished
For me my brother said that shit, for sure he doesn't hate me
Thousand reasons you won't make it, losts are better than you
The competition with thousand dazzling but no one is you
I'm not illustrious, which means got insufficient fucks to give
And l can say what l wanna say, without a consequence
I vision juggling the Coast and New York, I'm not a joke
Cause if you think Live is jus here to visit then you wrong.

With clouds, eyes blazing with fire my face is like
