Will they sing about your sorrow Like they sing about Achilles' rage Even if you put The lyrics and notes on a page And stuffed em down the mouths of Every vocalist close to a stage You want your lowest point to Usher new hope for your age You want your muse to live as Fuel for a worthier saint One more disciplined with Turning their words into paint But they can't make the Tryout, rehearsal or play If ain't nobody noticed Casting managers searching today You want to give your friend The years that the universe took You want a monument To get Ozymandius shook She deserves a longer stretch And a lengthier book 80 bars for every verse And a lengthier hook You want the folks that loved her dearest To bask in her light To feel the warmth of her embrace And her laugh and her sigh And your only building blocks Are the raps that you write That might not even reach anyone's ear But you have to recite Don't be still Be swift while the iron's hot Like a avalanche boulder No one would try to stop If you want it hard enough Then you don't need no rocket One foot in front of the other To ditch this dying rock Don't be still Be swift while the iron's hot Like a avalanche boulder No one would try to stop If you need it you'll be it And it won't take no jets One foot in front of the other To get away from death Would you build your love a temple Before you could make yourself a house A grand cathedral that Liberates all its guests from doubt Structure so sturdy The centuries couldn't rust it down Bricks that laugh at Exploding stars when they're shutting down Would you raise a New society to bless her name Torch the cities of any Who celebrate her pain Of course you'd have to climb back Outta your couch and the games You're playing getting stagnant (Man) Ducking calendars counting the days (Stop playing) Ain't no legacy building If you're strapped to despair Steady sleeping cuz in dreams There's still spaces you share Waking up to a tragic That's too sad to be bared Grown-ass-man just finding out that Life isn't actually fair Tears ain't only homonyms They are actually tears You spend your life restitching lest your innards Might catch too much air Tryna share her brand of magic They had to be there The truth is ain't no going back cuz Your better half isn't here Don't be still Be swift while the iron's hot Like a avalanche boulder No one would try to stop If you want it hard enough Then you don't need no rocket One foot in front of the other To ditch this dying rock Don't be still Be swift while the iron's hot Like a avalanche boulder No one would try to stop If you need it you'll be it And it won't take no jets One foot in front of the other To get away from death Don't be still Be swift while the iron's hot Like a avalanche boulder No one would try to stop If you want it hard enough Then you don't need no rocket One foot in front of the other To ditch this dying rock Don't be still Be swift while the iron's hot Like a avalanche boulder No one would try to stop If you need it you'll be it And it won't take no jets One foot in front of the other
