I found myself having an insecure moment Listening to a dope emcee and seeing an opponent Feeling as though the shine he was getting should have been mine This year I'm turning 29, my plan's 11 years behind I hate second guessing myself, it feels dumb as luck Stressin over how these other cats is quickly coming up Knowing I got the talent they got, if not more Young emcees tellin me that I'm the top 4 As far as they concerned, so I keep pushing til the tables turn Last thing on my mind is how my rhymes can help a label earn Is that the cardinal sin? Alright, I'll try to leave that out for the next article then Play the super hustler role but man, it's hard to pretend Cuz money don't drive me, I'm spittin to release the artist within Starvin again cuz I stupidly spent money Cooped up in my momma house like, how I'ma turn music to rent money? Sick of turning hard work to I'ma get bent money Cuz now I see what that did for me If I knew then what I know now Then I'd know when and I'd know how To make which move and in what way But then I wouldn't be who I am today And I feel strong and I feel bright And I'm doing great so everything's alright And when I feel down I put on my cape and I fly Like up, up and away Yeah I feel super Super, super, super, super I feel super Super, super, super, super Super, super, super, super, super But I don't always feel like the freshest hero On bad days my confidence drops to less than zero I keep my head high, chin up with my shoulders back Chest full of breath, always set to let the flow attack When it comes to poetry, I feel so relaxed I'm pretty well known in rap, somebody prob'ly told you that I'm nice before you even ever heard How my each and every word, is a fraction of a street affected nerd With a revolutionary mind and a kind heart Who loves to work with the youth and produce refined art And that's worth a lot without any accolades But sometimes I wish that I could turn the clock back a ways Or at least set my problems to the side and back away And not dwell on feelin like that for half the day Cuz as the time passes I think, think, think, think If I knew then what I know now Then I'd know when and I'd know how To make which move and in what way But then I wouldn't be who I am today And I feel strong and I feel bright And I'm doing great so everything's alright And when I feel down I put on my cape and I fly Like up, up and away Yeah I feel super Super, super, super, super I feel super Super, super, super, super, super Super, super, super, super, super Super I crash landed on this planet now I'm standing With a canon for a voice and a healthy understanding That I'm granted with a chance to make a difference while I'm livin And the gift is in it lasting much longer than an instant I could have bought my ticket as an infant, no kidding Born with yellow jaundice followed by a meningitis sickness Life is precious so I keep my focus in the right direction If I make a misstep, I give myself a slight correction And I keep it moving, right now my mantra is keep improving So if you wit' me then let's see us do this All in together, walking like we're taller than weather And I talk like I'm calling it better I can see the future peeking through the looking glass at my past I gotta laugh at some of the things that I'm past I gotta laugh at some of the things that I've passed I gotta laugh at some of the things that have passed If I knew then what I know now Then I'd know when and I'd know how To make which move and in what way But then I wouldn't be who I am today And I feel strong and I feel bright And I'm doing great so everything's alright And when I feel down I put on my cape and I fly Like up, up and away Yeah I feel super
