24 Hours

[Intro]

[Verse: Dezzy]
I'm in the place and the mic's on
I be winning this race but the sights gone
I'm in the dark but the lights on in my mind cos I know I've gotta shine on and fight strong
But I'm never gonna give up, no I've gotta fill up this glass of liquid luck
Need it right now need to win this race no I'm not gonna end up stuck

Look at my face, know that I mean it
Know that I've seen it, everything I need to progress cheah you better believe it
And no man I'm never gonna leave it
Insanity won't beat me; I'll stick to the drive
This tunnel I see it keeps me alive, these words are why I strive

So I'm tryna put words out straight from my mind frame
Ima bring the fire too, ima bring my game
I be showing off the skill that I contain
Gotta make a name, yo I've gotta make a change
We are not the same
That's why when I say "I murder with the flame" you cannot say the same
You don't feel the pain
No, you're never gonna understand the thoughts inside my brain

So I create this poetry
Words are my weapons I don't wanna stay solitary
But I'm an artist, always surrounded
Man I'm tryna see where this takes me I've found it
But I know that I have to search for more
This music that doesn't want to be made starts from the floor
But as long as I've got these 24 hours

So I be rowing in the deep end of my thoughts this beats got me vibing
In the night time water spiraling, and I'm just biding my time, memorizing the lines man I wanna be shining
Strobe lights in the dark, brighten up the place
Cause my mind is a mystery and I'm only just finding...
This gift that I somehow feel that I have

Sometimes I just wanna kick back, relax
But I know I've gotta put in this work this year
Cause last year I really slacked, not gonna lie
But trust cheah the minds in a different place
I'm at the point where I wanna take this to space
Madness I know but I also know that I've gotta win the race

Zoned out now I be leaving the Galaxy
Write bars to escape the reality
Stay calm but now they're getting mad at me
Kinda clear now cheah I can kinda see
That all these people are fake
When I'm in the booth yeah I escape the hate
Raising the stakes, make no mistake
Otherwise ima be taking your place

But it just feels this is a mess I make
Every breath I take is another mistake
So reject my place, no man you're never gonna see my face again
It's been a while since I've contemplated, now I'm on this and I feel hated
Don't speak nowadays, no more statements
Feel faded, semi lost and this music's got me going crazy

But just maybe, they will relate to this
I was made for this, flows are atheist
Still these guys wanna take the piss
But what is competition? When I'm on a mission
Got this ambition but my mind is missing
Gotta stop and listen, words that I'm spitting
Can't wait long cah my mind is gone

In the void, I avoid conversation
Conversation leads to confrontation
By that point I've lost my patience
So I don't speak, rap for all the nations
Or do I rap for myself?
Cos that is what I kinda need
To express and release these thoughts in my mind frame
Sometimes no I just can't believe
