lyrics

(Verse)
Ladies and gentlemen, open your eyes, I'm on the rise like balloons let go in the skies, I used to write comic books, but now I write raps, I'm the out o' shape dude who really likes snacks, tryin' to lose calories, I finally got a salary, I'm workin' my way up, I'm strivin' for the galaxies, constellations form galactic pictures, I take a sip from the Dipper like a plastic fixture, I try to spark that brilliance like a flash of light, and when it comes I run to grab the mic, time keeps goin' like an H.G. Welles plot, and I keep growin', you can't make these cells stop, I scavenge for the meaning while my talents are increasing, I like to write content and battle when emceeing, stayin' up on digital media, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia, I surf the web so much I'm like cowabunga, so many pages I can't even count the number, but sometimes I'm just down and slumber, because I get bored like pounds o' lumber, dark days stay like clouds that cover, and I can't wait 'till I'm out above the place that I'm in now, I wonder where I'm headed, man, I hope it's better than the amount I'm under, if I had every single grain of sand, from the beaches and deserts and ancient lands, and placed 'em in an hourglass, and waited 'till the time had passed, I don't know if it would be enough to make my plans, but I just keep on hopin' and I keep on dreamin', 'till I reach my goals and get to free my demons, and I'm speakin' to the planet at large, 'cause I'm back with some raps that'll stand apart, original
