Yo I light up the jar under the light of the stars
And write a few bars until the silence dissolves
Contemplating if Im right or Im wrong
For dedicating most of my time to holding mics in my palm
My dream has been life-long
And though the finish line is still out of sight
Within my plight I fight on
And I aint singing no sob stories or sad songs
I stick to telling the total truth and thats all
Its ironic when youre raps best thing
And yet somehow your career is still fledgling
Thats my predicament and its perplexing
But instead of sweating it I just keep progressing
While waiting for the stars to align
And the moment in time when its my moment to shine
But until then I keep my eyes on the prize
And try to survive night after night going for mine because
In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
Its the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by)
In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
Its the evening of another day and the end of mine (Just to find youre outta time)
And every evening at the end of another day
Im bucking the system trying to figure out another way
And budget what I gotta pay to phone a lifeline
Hope rainy days dont last my whole lifetime
Thats why the moonlight is mine
When the moon starts to shine a feeling moves up my spine
Yeah, I stay in tune with the shadows
Lone trooper on the road less travelled
Lone wolf, sole controller, only soldier still in the battle
Only slave on the boat whos really rowing his paddle
Still I sit in the saddle and dip from the hassles
Others get rattled and just dibble and dabble
I think bigger, connecting the dots on the big picture
Like identifying the Big Dipper
Fueled by haters comments and one day I promise
That Ill light up the sky like Halleys Comet
In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
Its the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by)
Now the starlight which has found me lost for a million years (It only takes a moment)
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears (Just to find your own time)
Yo hope the struggle dont murder me
Before I find out how many people heard of V from Jersey to Germany
And yeah I try to act fine as though all is well
But at times I feel like the snowball in Hell
Im trying to find my way
Thats why its all grunt work, got no time for play
No time for games so while my time remains
I wont wait like a time delay
I say what I mean and mean what I say
Chasing dreams night by night and day after day
I met a broad at the titty bar called Starlight
Because her eyes twinkled like little stars
She had a smile that could shine for a million years
I told her I got a trail of a trillion tears
Asked if she could help me make it disappear
Then felt no fear when she said this here, she said
In a matter of a moment lost to the end of time (It only takes a moment)
Its the evening of another day and the end of mine (For your life to fly by)
Now the starlight which has found me lost for a million years (It only takes a moment)
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes till it disappears (Just to find your own time)
