The thoughts and desires of women now apart of my past,
are becoming clearer the more i press my foot on the gas
and i ask.. where was all this love the year before last?

before i developed this flow and had ya speakers on blast
when i was just another ^!$$% that sat in the back of class.
cause i wasn't a rich kid, they wasn't checkin for my $$#

but once i grasped the mic, i started to shed light
now I'm the reason they reminisce with regret every night-like
the blackest of coal before it became the brightest of diamonds

a lot on my mind and i got these instrumentals rewinding.
steadily climbin. despite doubters thats still undermining
I'm constantly finding- the pros and cons of constantly grinding.

still i stay with it. regret it everyday if i quit it.
not just to say that i did it, but imma do it all
POET THE PRODIGY, took flight before i could crawl

even though you $#&@ed up, I'm still there when you call- like rise or fall imma- (STAY)
but Dammitt! you were only taking advantage-
causing more stress than damage so i thought i could manage

but when you vanished, i realized theres no room for love when following dreams
now I'm cold hearted and young with a work ethic of fiends
$#&@ it I'm royalty, so supreme in my royal blue jeans

so mature for a young man in his teens is what they say
then i drop bombs like nagasaki that day
make it to where I'm goin by walkin my own way

so at the end of the day i can say i stayed- true
yeah thats hat ill do, I'm sure you'll hear all about it
I'm like Shaq on a fisher price goal, why would you doubt it?

my vision level is clouded and I'm still elevating
My Verses are hot as hell and i still don't $#&@ with satan
nah-- and i never will- sell my soul for dollar bills

i turned a talent into a skill with the power to kill
Like Howie Mandell, im getting paid Deal or No Deal!
R.I.P. Heavy D, yes i got soul, for real

Ignited Poet kickin lyrics that ya Soul can feel
still- I'm steadily rising. no surprise when i shine like horizons at dawn
like- $#&@ it i'm On!

put my life into this music so when i die I'm not gone-
still they saying so long- pour liquor and alizè
pack the weed in the bong, playing my song to get away

While the Queen of my Kingdom sheds tears, asking God why i couldn't-- stay...(STAY)



But it's Ok...



Verse II

Exhale ya last breath, then they show love and respect

keep it! you ^!$$%s the reason i was rhyming in secret.
molding my craft at last now I'm the one who can laugh
but i don't see %#@! funny, dirty money run the world

I'm writing up like referrals, looking down on the boroughs
Dopeness in my bone marrow you claim you clean but sterile like bleach
and so i teach- cleanse the streets with my speech

got about as many lessons as grains of sand at the beach, preach
I Beseech You Mutha$#&@as pay attention, listen close
I am Dope, when i Ignite without a pipe you'll overdose

Lets have a toast, an addition to the population of addicts to my rhymes
i spit mathematics for the mind, add up all those countless hours that i put in the work
Subtract the doubt, i'm blowing up before i sleep in the dirt

Multiply my exponential potential cause it's essential
Like Presidential credentials as long as i'm influential imma STAY.
