The song was originally just going to be me. I was listening to “Renegade” by Eminem and Jay-Z for the first time and I was like “Woah! I gotta remix this song.” So eventually, I sat down. Put my headphones on and started writing, coming up with complex rhyme schemes, and was trying to state a point...
[Intro: Light of Destiny]
Yo, You already know who it is...
[Verse 1: Light of Destiny]
Dawg, prove we're of the same kind
You live in the addict, while I'm a K-9
So intense that I have a bite
That makes your bark look like a whine
Have you itching for my songs, guess you could say mites
Came from my music to your ears in straight lines
The truth is, 2 syllables are my main rhymes
Don’t you go saying that I can’t write
Hey, guys are you scared of me?
Yall remind me of the father of Beverly
Huh, y’all lack an identity
Wouldn't be wise taking a penny from me
High likе I took methamphetamine
Crack a smilе cause y’all just slept on me
Rap for a while it is Destiny
Crap out a pile of what’s been said to me
Grab out a towel because storm clouds are what’s wetting me
What y’all mad about? That I don’t have you next to me?
I’m gonna laugh aloud, cause the way you’re acting it’s as if you just want a wedding ring
You spending and now bleeding, you hemorrhaging
I wonder why all the snakes are emerging
Shout out Nameless, for saying facts on "Phoenix"
And slaying
The brainless
Insects!
[Chorus: Light of Destiny]
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
Gonna meet liars (liars)
Don’t believe what’s said
Gonna start fires (fires)
Gonna embrace the flames
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
[Verse 2: Light of Destiny]
To be truthful, I’m not your average renegade
Y’all just some Mavericks with the same branded names
Greedy full of avarice, I’m against the slang
I’ll be the one changing rap and I’ll end the reign
When I snap necks, you’ll need Medicaid
Like salting wounds, eye drops with lemonade
Eating tide pods, youth just can’t be saved
That’s why I write songs and try to legislate
Guess the time’s gone when you would levitate
When the right words come from your mouth and onto a plate
I need a breath mint for the words that I say
Left eyes with a red tint or a reddened stain
When Juice died I felt my brethren’s pain
But the noose is tied and the hand grenade
Mean it’s "Boom Time", I’ll be sent to the grave
These aren’t just cool rhymes, In truth, you’ll die and I’ll get the blame. (Yeah)
[Chorus: Light of Destiny]
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
Gonna meet liars (liars)
Don’t believe what’s said
Gonna start fires (fires)
Gonna embrace the flames
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
[Verse 3: Soul Collector]
Living like a renegade counting stars
Vodka with some lemonade inside my bars
Tracks are only minute made. You can't be hard. (Yeah)
I work for this, I murder it, the verdict is manslaughter
Shoe don't fit, I walk with it, blisters hit, who work harder?
Not you, not him, fuck them too, it's true, I'd rock him
Guess who's back is bruised
Licks burn like satan's tongue the blood oozed
But I'm too young to fucking lose faith yet
I place bets, who gets hit next, paychecks
Lost lives to be famous, it's "Nameless"
The emotion from this pain lifts the spirits
Just to gulp them down, love to hear it
But it's you, now, makes it a problem all of a sudden. (Oh wow!)
Can't take the heat when you're in the oven
Slow down, I think that I'm on to something
It's just an assumption
You be better able to function as yourself
Chasing after nothing will not help
Stop with the fuck shit, do something else
Have you tried being original? Take your story off of the shelf
It could pivotal, I mean look at myself!
I accepted the ridicule, for my health!
I got my cheddar straight out of the shredder
"Earning" it makes me feel better, you can ignore it in your mother's shelter!
But you'll never understand what it takes to be "Soul Collector"
[Chorus: Light of Destiny]
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
Gonna meet liars (liars)
Don’t believe what’s said
Gonna start fires (fires)
Gonna embrace the flames
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
[Verse 4: Light of Destiny]
Man, I’m sick as dogs!
Chicken broth does nothing to help me with these twisted thoughts. I sniffle, cough
Say I’m trying to be Em like I’m his missing son
Don’t be really dumb
I ain’t dissing y’all
But y’all want me to be clean like a dish with dawn
Truth?
All Y’all just listen wrong
I do not rap about cigarettes, bongs!
Y’all need to know what’s in my songs
I’m not your typical fish in a pond!
Unfortunately, kids innocence is gone
Minds of victims lost
What kinda parents are y’all to tell these children off?
When you’re their role model!
Picked as moms, and picked as pops, and yet you’re hitting them! Batter them up like you’re pitching balls!
When they say cuss words on their Motorola
But not enough’s heard, they sniff coca-cola
Tell you that you sick, that you got corona, or got ebola
Driving me nuts, like I was a granola!
Quit your crying cause I done told them
Boohoo, go on and play the viola
Gonna expose ya to the folk’s now
Even if it hurts you physically I don’t care!
[Chorus: Light of Destiny]
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
Gonna meet liars (liars)
Don’t believe what’s said
Gonna start fires (fires)
Gonna embrace the flames
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
[Verse 5: Light of Destiny]
Matter of fact!
I hope you haters choke from your own rope on the ceiling fan
Then you’ll truly be a ceiling fan
Cards are being dealt, I’m dealing them
Homicidal freak cause I’m killing them
You trying to get lyricists abolished!
But if they wear bright red nail polish
Or they talk trash about the Amish
You’ll be fine
I read comics, to be honest, my promise is to never change!
But to the mainstream “artists”?
I’ll be a target on the market with garbage rappers dissing me
So quit your yapping and your barking
When I clap you better park it back down to the ground where you belong, clown. (LoD out!)
[Chorus: Light of Destiny]
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
Gonna meet liars (liars)
Don’t believe what’s said
Gonna start fires (fires)
Gonna embrace the flames
I’m climbing higher! (higher)
Gonna be a renegade
