This writers block has got the best of me, testing me
& the fact I can't express myself is stressing me, mentally
Cuz emotion I keep afloat, in & ocean of lethal notes
Poetic symbolism of a man that overdosed
On "living life for everyone but me"
Until I stood in agony - staggering, as I tried to make believe
That people cared about the things I did for them, unselfishly
& in turn would return the favor back to me before I leave
but - society is self centered, there a dying breed
Of artificial adolescents driven by greed, yeah
So in order for me to do what I need to succeed
I'll never let up & envelop all competing emcees
My intelligence supersedes any college degree
So take your "go to school" mentality and battle me, please
& when you freeze up, terrified of what you released
Know my methods are un-killable, Immortal Technique
I stand tall
wont quit, won't fall
I'm giving everything i have till the finish
pushing ability to the limit
I'LL BE HEARD!
(yep - yep - yeah, yeah)
I'LL BE HEARD!
(yep - yep - yeah)
I WILL BE HEARD!
lost, frost bitten heart beats soft &
silent, my iris hides behind eyelids
I find it, easier with more pain
cuz im used to - battling blocks & barricades
in a maze of adventure, hence the lyrics
my ambitious fairy tale I tell is real when you hear it, so clear it
I mean the room, turn off the lights too
put a spotlight on me, & place a mirror in view
i'd rather rap to myself, then & unforgiving crowd of you
when i'm destitute you exclude & elude my mood so i
poetically try to make sense of it all, cuz if i don't
i'll fall, & find myself unable to crawl - & baby
there i'll lay, and maybe there i'll stay
where you can kick me in the face when i'm down, a double play
but better believe that i'll get right - back on my feet
ready to rumble with anyone dumb enough to repeat
I stand tall
wont quit, won't fall
im giving everything i have till the finish
pushing ability to the limit
I'LL BE HEARD!
(yep - yep - yeah, yeah)
I'LL BE HEARD!
(yep - yep - yeah)
I WILL BE HEARD!
people ask me why i must remain lyrical, & i don't wanna
hear 'em so i steer 'em to the lyrics of a miracle
call my philosophical thought Excalibur
because i cut to the chase, no meaningless vernacular
I'm waiting for this industry to care about words, enough to
Sign & emcee with a substantial amount of verbs
If only people heard him, if only people cared
If only people listened to more than a kick and snare
but the beat consumes them - I shriek, the pen leaks
letters all over the paper placed in front of me
patiently I lay in wait to bleed over the beat
offering me as a sacrificial human being
& i sing, continuing to bring a piece of me
to the table, where these other rappers feel a need to feast
and when they come to eat, i'll lure them to the beef
subliminally, ill aid in their defeat
I stand tall
wont quit, won't fall
im giving everything i have till the finish
pushing ability to the limit
I'LL BE HEARD!
(yep - yep - yeah, yeah)
I'LL BE HEARD!
(yep - yep - yeah)
I WILL BE HEARD!
