lyrics

(Verse 1)
Death makes me a little uncomfortable, prayin' I don't see it 'till long after my nuptials, I hope somebody marries me before they bury me, disparaging thoughts I'm carrying, but this is my therapy, music, they say it's better than sex, and the stress has got me goin' up walls like Mega Man X, so I throw a track on and I let it commence, zonin' out, while emotions shroud my head, in my own world like The Science Of Sleep, it's like my own retreat, when I rhyme to a beat, while I'm tryin' to speak, on the future like an oracle, but human flesh conceals my mortal soul, but even if I could, do I dare to know, to see what's around the corner like a periscope, 'cause no one can ever truly know their destiny until they look back on their life and rest in peace

(Interlude)
Yes, indeed, what will be my legacy, I don't know, yeah

(Verse 2)
I'm fat and tubby, and my acne's ugly, and I don't know if women are attracted to me, but what is a person's relevance staked on, debated through the ages, hard to tell what our place on this plain of existence is, from the days of our innocence, to the aged and wrinkled skin, a rainbow filled with shades of grey, no rules upon which to play the game, I live for the cause, riskin' it all, sing to the stars, stay spittin' these bars, make a fist with my palm, and I'm liftin' it high, fight for my life and the things that I want, but though I strive for accolades, when I'm dead in the ground, I'll be alright without a medal or crown, as long as I'm remembered and my message is found, but I got time left, so I'm spendin' it now, come on

(Outro)
I gotta write the future now, man, no one else can
