I never rest, nope, I never rest
No, I never rest, nope, nope, I never rest
I never rest

Sound the horns
I'm eruptin' from the underground, similar to how a mountain's formed
Wack rappers got a lot to say
And if I die in obscurity, spread my ashes on the Walk Of Fame
Stay sharp as katanas, gettin' better and better, too
Fight against the machine like the Nebuchadnezzar crew
I'm a disruption, a glitch that's in the Matrix
There's not enough difference makers, where are the innovators?
Emcees think they're hotter than incinerators
But responses from the audience are colder than refrigerators
You gotta feel it in your heart like defibrillators
You should care about the art if you really make it
Shoot for success in a cesspool of really famous
Mediocre fodder that's force-fed on your dinner tables
I treat my shot like a sniper pointin' pistol gauges
So let's get it poppin' off and rock it when I hit the stages

I never rest, nope, nope, I never rest
There's too much work to be done, so I can never rest
Everywhere I look I'm at a loss for sentences
From the bottom of the barrel to the top of Everest
I never rest, nope, nope, I never rest
I feel the pressure again, so I can never rest
Until this whole world becomes the fuckin' end of us
Battle on until I'm in the sediment

Twenty years it took to realize that my eyes had been blinded
Indoctrinated since the time that I was a child in diapers
But it made me stronger, no longer tryin' to find a messiah
Pryin' my irises open, scopin' out what was denied me
Now my grip on reality's tighter and tighter
And it's a very sobering view when you're finally enlightened
Liars try to hide the truth behind a wall out of sight but
If you can climb it, then you'll find a lot that can inspire excitement
So I keep the pride of a fighter with the eye of the tiger
Like I was Survivor, combined with the mind of MacGyver
Settin' goals higher and higher as I perspire
'Cause I never wanna settle for the life of a nine-to-fiver
It's overrated and 'til I am retired
I'm motivated to just go away and light up a fire
Beneath the seat of my pants until every fiber's ignited
Fueling my feelings to acquire the prize I desire

Because I never rest, nope, nope, I never rest
There's too much work to be done, so I can never rest
Everywhere I look I'm at a loss for sentences
From the bottom of the barrel to the top of Everest
I never rest, nope, nope, I never rest
I feel the pressure again, so I can never rest
Until this whole world becomes the fuckin' end of us
Battle on until I'm in the sediment

Hey yo, I've been parched, thirstin', as the world's burnin'
So let's march through the flames, dressin' in Kevlar
Desperate to get far, before the GOP
Destroys the entire planet like the Death Star
Never rest, strenuous heaviness on my neck and chest
Head is stressed, can't carry my brain's weight
Follow footsteps of dead superstars through the art
Tryin' super hard, though, not to suffer the same fate
Agin' and decayin', breakin' down my molecular structure
Stare at the void 'til my retinas rupture
With this vacancy I'm left in, situational depression
Can be inescapable if situations aren't corrected
Pick apart my paranoia, try to diagnose me
Am I the product of broken-hearted harm or just no sleep?
Hoping for hope, holding a rope, juggling choices
Searching for a voice, writing songs for the voiceless

So I can never rest, nope, nope, I never rest
There's too much work to be done, so I can never rest
Everywhere I look I'm at a loss for sentences
From the bottom of the barrel to the top of Everest
I never rest, nope, nope, I never rest
I feel the pressure again, so I can never rest
Until this whole world becomes the fuckin' end of us
Battle on until I'm in the sediment
Ahhhh
