Islands

[Verse 1: Gowe] This island is cold, I tried to decide or to fight it The parts I confided are cyphers that finally cited A bunch of mirrors that show you you're more than worth it And tourists are told to twerk and these verses are all deserted It's like a chase and I constantly try to see it By the time I try to leave I done breathed and I’m all conceited And so I tell myself excuses laid in apathy Like it’s not me its just their view and it’s sad to me That they can’t tell that this real song is upon them What's wrong? Is that words are now more used as a coffin Instead of a vessel? that could take time that’ll test you And teach what it means to be headstrong when it’s stressful Yeah, I guess it’s old school that I think that To see life as music when I press play I could breathe wax And so, I inhale it inside of my lungs now Throw both of my hands up while I’m raising the whole crowd [Hook: Sam Ock] I am lightning Can you see me flash down can you hear my thunder sound Lighting up a black cloud Lightning I will not be stopped now I’m gonna light it up for all to see I'll light up the world for all to see [Verse 2: Gowe] It’s like I been here before, it’s not my first time Why did I drive along the side of my whole mind When I wasn’t even ready well, I don’t know why The only thing that I know is that my whole life wasn’t all mine And now it’s back I feel the sunlight on my face On this island, by myself and I flashback to the place That I used to know back when it was 94’ rap Trapped inside my system, I would seek ears just to listen Now I got some but the problem is Gotham I would fly high with my cape cold make them see fall like I'm autumn And then I pull off to the side just to remind All myself that this whole life is a ride journey I see sand dunes all around me to count all would be craziness But each spec is a story And so I listen with my ears glued to the tube While the waves circle around me there’s no sound but it’s cool [Hook: Sam Ock] I am lightning Can you see me flash down can you hear my thunder sound Lighting up a black cloud Lightning I will not be stopped now I’m gonna light it up for all to see I'll light up the world for all to see [Verse 3: Gowe] We all start off with a vision for our lives and Then we slowly let it die, is it pressure? is it lies? Is it my ride, that I don’t fit the conventional nine to five? That I don’t care bout big rocks that’ll shine bright in the sky? Why then? Did I give you a high five when you decided to Arrive into this new world like a Mayan? huh? You said you’d change this, had enough! Hold it but my peers they make like 50K plus And I can’t stand how I’m looked at If I dont match Where they’re headed dread it I get it come kill all my credits I might as well just surrender got my head down I'm infested And I don’t know why I do this and second guess all my weapons I know I’m gifted, I know I made it here I know the easy route looked nice, but I took the stairs And now I’m climbing and I’m holding onto the truth And I’m holding onto the cycle that is leading back to a "you" [Hook: Sam Ock] I am lightning Can you see me flash down can you hear my thunder sound Lighting up a black cloud Lightning I will not be stopped now I’m gonna light it up for all to see I'll light up the world for all to see
