Our stories are all we got
So if you're gonna tell it, tell it boldly
Tell the truth without fear

Legend has it
Moments like this happen once in your life
It's a tale of findin' glory in strife
While avoidin' the hype
And ignorin' the calls
Takin' my time to myself
Savin' my anguish for destroyin' them all
And I know very seldom will the vengeance be mine
But right now, it's gotta give, this piece of art is my shrine
And placement can dine, ideas can wed
Way I finally speak my peace and let it go, put every grievance to bed
Find rest for my head
'Cause heavy is the crown that is upon it
Its guardian pretentious, don't know why I even want it
But this return awaited even more than Halley's Comet
Take witness in real time and tell your children you saw it
The birth of a generation that's perfect in presentation
A relic to pass down, these words and this syncopation
A lesson in what can happen as long as you not complacent
I may not be out there, but I'm probably genius adjacent
I said that I had a story, but I ain't know how to pace it
At last, I cracked the code and all it took was vacation
We may do a little bending, but you'll never see us breakin'
This world is all ours, it's ready for the takin'
Behold the flow
And watch me grow
They say I'm chosen
I say I know
I say I know

And if you happen upon a story that serendipitously aligns with your own
Don't hesitate to explore it
That's what it's there for
Our stories are all we got
