Polaris

[Intro: James Vincent McMorrow sample] [Verse 1: ANTHM] Before I watch it all vanish, like the lost city of Atlantis I'm taking advantage of the mechanics that I was handed, 'til I give up the ghost, see my soul still riddled with hopes In the sky see me scribble my quotes, that be my legacy I'm blazing like armageddon, I started betting on me Instead of bombarding heaven with my prayers Driven by competitive edge, fully fledged On the ledge, next to veteran heads like Mt. Rushmore Clutching the mic', see me bust raw Reaching for pinnacles that I lust for Pure artistry, from the heart of me, 'till I depart Whether or not I'm arguably regarded like rap martyrs be 21 gun salute, before they shoot How I be living proof, niggas shake this destiny then Poof! One day, the dark nights might fade us At least I got to shine like the greatest [Verse 2: Blu] Turn me up... Yeah Guess who Eyyo it's all elementary dawg, I was a 10 year old Spitting flows, dreaming of being dipping the prince's gold Picket fences blocked the visions I was sent to hold So I kicked it open like Eminem did at Interscope I sip the OE, thinking of those before me Who never made it, sharing the stage with fakes and phonies But I never hated, elevated the ceremony Listed on your homie's all time favorites I should get a Rolly 'Till I'm at the Tonys Posting like a trophy, I would never act When I'm on track, people know me from the West To East so far you see the Bering Sea Holding my gullying gold until they bury me Like an Egyptian God probably be in hieroglyphs So all my niggas reminisce as they bottles sip Pac shit, I get the chills when I play this At least I got to shine like the greatest [Verse 3: ANTHM] Relenetlessly, I reinvent this So called thing, you call a dream When I sent this, Message in a bottle Up to Mt. Olympus What's the use, hollering Zeus Are we calling a truce? Can I Live? Won't spare you my tongue You know I gotta shine if there's air in my lungs So when you stare, picture the glare in the sun The suns sets when I perish I'm done One [Outro: ANTHM] One day, the dark nights might fade us At least I got to shine like the greatest I said: One day, the dark nights might fade us At least I got to shine like the greatest Today, the dark nights might fade me But the shine never made me It was the, heart of the lion See a man's vision, praying in the church of ambition Amen
