First to Advance

[Verse 1: Mat4yo]
I'll be the first to advance
Like a Gameboy from 2006
That fit in to the fingers of a little kid
That wished that he could be a bigger kid
In the immense world we live in
Now he's singing and he doesn't need to wish on stars no more
He's been to hell and back and got exactly what he wished for
It'll take a little time and a little bit of pride to crush your dark side
You'll be riding on the sky when you find that Princess Leia
No more riding solo, you'll be onomatopeing it
Got people saying wow, hе's a howdy how'd he get her?
Whеn all I did was hope that all this weather would get better
So, instead of in regret i'm getting better
I'm getting ahead I bet
I'll be the first to step to enter this duettal adventure
I'll get that special sunset run this back on every cassette
Better yet, I cast a silhouette on fellas telling
Me i couldn’t make it so they stand in the shadow of that
I'm a veteran at marionetting
And making a mess outta every one of my enemies
And no one who offends me
Doesn't understand me
Reprimands me ain't a friend to me
In the end it'll be me and
You and no one else will matter
Leaving every other rapper mad, hatter
I'm stepping up to the plate and up to batter and
To face the face of the race
Don't make me a snake if i take first place
But I'm slitherin in to the winning position
Restricting the limits from this prohibition
A proficient coefficient
Never missing a chance to be different
So listen, I'm really reeling them in and I ain't goin' fishing
Look for me ill find you
I'll be right behind you
To catch you when you fall and then stand beside you
Forever I abide to
You, make me believe it now

[Verse 2: LazySundayPaper]
Whoa I can see it now
Every little confession that made me bleed
Every little truth made me see, you!
I can’t afford to lose such a wondrous tune
When push comes to shove I tend to fall
Bounded up till I am black and blue
Ooh I see it dude the man in the mirror is a different you
I question my role in these shoes
I question this battle if I should move
I'm stuck in these ruins, I feel ancient compared to these dunes
Life ain't easy when we drift away, I want to stay
Burnt by these rays leaving scars on my face
I want to pray but it seems god made me this way

[Verse 3: Mat4yo & LazySundayPaper]
I am who I am and you made me that
I am who I am, I created that
Our problems are crafted and conquered by us
It’s an inward battle constructed by trust
And you must come up from the shackles of dust
Kick ‘em in the nuts and scream that’s enough
You wanna stand up tall not crash and fall
If you ain't first to do it, why advance at all?

[Verse 4: Mat4yo]
It’s a trance and all, or so you think
What if you could fix it all with a blink
You can’t do that if your eyes are closed
You gotta defend or get overthrown

[Verse 5: LazySundayPaper]
But no matter how hard you fight, you’re always on the run
Selfless and hopeless waiting to become the one
I know I’ve been there gasping for air in this puddle
But know people are there to get you out of this struggle

[Verse 6: Mat4yo]
You aren’t the only soldier in war
You’ve got a friend for what life’s in store for
Of course you’re overboard with the soreness
The only hands holding you down are yours, kid

[Verse 7: LazySundayPaper]
I broke free from these chains
I felt foreclosed in a world of pain
They tried and break me for what I was
But I persevered and told them enough IS ENOUGH

[Verse 8: Mat4yo,LazySundayPaper, & Both]
With my advanced in hand I just can’t seem to find a friend
You’re not alone my friend, we’ll endure this, grab my hand
What if I can’t fend against the pressures that will take a stand
We gotta take a leap of faith, all odds on one chance
And together no one’s powerful enough to say we can't
And we will each no longer be the victims of a circumstance
Since you have reversed it I can see the curse at a glance
To see that we surpassed from last and now we are the first to advance
