I found myself having an insecure moment Listening to a dope M.C. and seeing an opponent Feeling as though the shine he was getting should have been mine This year Im turning 29, my plans 11 years behind I hate secondguessing myself, it feels dumb as luck Stressing over how these other cats is quickly coming up Knowing I got the talent they got, if not more Young M.C.s telling me that Im in the top 4 As far as they concerned. I keep pushing til the tables turn Last thing on my mind is how my rhymes could help a label earn Is that the cardinal sin? Alright, Ill try to leave that out for the next article then Play the super hustler role but man its hard to pretend Cause money dont drive me, Im spitting to release the artist within Starving again cause I stupidly spent money Cooped up in my mamas house, like how Ima turn music to rent money? Sick of turning hard work to Imagetbent money Cause now I see what that did for me [Chorus] If I knew then What I know now Then Id know when And Id know how To make which moves And in what way But then I wouldnt be who I am today And I feel strong And I feel bright And Im doin great so everythings alright Now when I feel down I put on my cape and I fly like Up, up and away. Yeah I feel super, super, super, super, super [2x] Super, super, super, super, super But I dont always feel like the freshest hero On bad days my confidence drops to less than zero I keep my head high, chin up with my shoulders back Chest full of breath, always set to let the flow attack When it comes to poetry I feel so relaxed Im pretty well known in rap Somebody probly told you that Im nice Before you even ever heard How my each and every word Is a fraction of a streetaffected nerd With a revolutionary mind and a kind heart Who loves to work with the youth to produce refined art And thats worth a lot, without any accolades Sometimes I wish that I could turn the clock back a ways Release at my problems to decide and back away And not dwell on feeling like that for half a day Cause as the time passes I think [Chorus] I crashlanded on this planet Now Im standing with a canon for a voice and a healthy understanding That Im granted with the chance to make a difference while Im living And the gift isnt lasting much longer than an instant I could have bought my ticket as an infant, no kidding Born with yellow jaundice followed by a meningitis sickness Life is precious so I keep my focus in the right direction And if I make a misstep, I give myself a slight correction And I keep it moving, right now my marcher just keeps improvin So if you with me then lets see us do this All in together Walking like were taller than weather And I talk like Im calling it better I could see the future peeking through the looking glass at my past I gotta laugh at some of the things that Im past Gotta laugh at some of the things that Ive passed Gotta laugh at some of the things that Ive passed If I knew then What I know now Then Id know when And Id know how To make which moves And in what way But then I wouldnt be who I am today And I feel strong And I feel bright And Im doin great so everythings alright Now when I feel down I put on my cape and I fly like Up, up and away. Yeah I feel super
