Evolution

[Verse 1]
I think I've learned my lesson
I don't really wanna live unsatisfied with my creations
I know that in my heart I hate it
And if you don't get the picture let me paint it
Or frame it, yuh
I can pin a thousand lines I've said before a million times
I've learned the ways of spitting 'bout my live and 'bout how hard am I
Told a hundred stories that you took and I am grateful for
But gave so much I had to take time off just to create some more
It's a different kind of peace to evolve
Could take a week or take a year and never happen at all
For me it took some pain and patience
And hours to talk and worst of all it took
Having to say goodbye to Mom's
You get the jist
I can get bored of being like this
Or make a list of all the people in my past that I've pissed off
I'm sick of burning bridges in the midst of my withdrawals
And drawing up more problems that'll never just get solved
I think I need to grow up
I think I need to change
Everybody that's been with me since fifteen knows more about me than I know about my brain
I think, I think I need to get going
I think, I think I need to switch lanes
And find a piece of me I've been lost
Maybe never even had in the first place
I think I need peace, yuh

[Chorus]
Wake up
This morning get another piece of fake love
Learn to breathe more than even
Wake up
This morning get a piece of me
Wake up
This morning get another piece of fake love
Learn to breathe more than even
Wake up
This morning get a piece of me

[Verse 2]
Step up in the labyrinth that passively just sits in my mind
I know it's hazardous, I'll pass a trick, just stick to the right
And it's a hazardous entrapment built from living the lie
And in the back of it just laughs and sits my sinister side, yo
Get a kick from destroying myths in the Odyssey
I'm Apollo, the sun chariot prophecy
Benefit from the glow that I got inside of me
Bet it [?] could get; he couldn't even last a mile away
I defeated the Minotaur in the maze in a minute
And finished with time, just sitting for days
And paid attention to allegories I studied in cave
Peeping shadows from the fire, changing noises in shape
I'm Midas; everything I touch is turned to silent gold
And I could fill a bank with all the rappers I've outsold
Rock the stage like the volcano blowing out Pompeii
And stop saying you could ever spit it like James
And don't ever try to best this
Fire from the lines will spark a forge of Hephaestus
I ain't teaching, but just listen up, I bet I'll learn you something
Or run up out the show fast enough to burn rubber
I'm sick and tired of the city fads
They're on my dick and you're just really fucking really bad
Coming at the kid will have me coming out here, tit for tat
I've been your dad and I just gave you 24 like the Iliad
James

[Chorus]
Wake up
This morning get another piece of-
