Dawn Songtext

Mr. Lif
Hello
It′s a pleasure talking with you this evening
Oh, I do believe the pleasure is all mine, actually
Let's get right to the interview, shall we?
Yeah, go right ahead
You′ve taken us on quite a journey on this album. Would you
Mind telling us a little bit about your creative process?
Well, um, it goes a little like this


You see my mind gets to clicking
And my eyes started blinking
Pen steady leaking
Next thing, oh, we got a song
And time keeps on slipping
Our survival seeming distant
But progression is a lesson
And thus we move along
And I remember Easter when my mom gave me that boombox
Boxing out the world every time I heard a tune knock
Knocking on my door, got no response
I was lost in a small room in a small apartment in Boston
My own universe, reverse and bouncing off the wall in reverb
Pop quiz, do you remember these words?
I'm the King of Rock and to this day there is none
Back when musicians flaunted styles that hadn't been done
An era to treasure, I pay homage when I put a pen to
The paper, dropping jewel to school you later
Favorite catches, word matches, a simple thought
Visions, wisdom leaking through my pen speaking volumes
Tunes remind me blindly seeing life in two dimensions
Inventions, amplifying what I mentioned
Words, syllables, sentence
Send this to a million folks I never met
They provide a designation, epithet
And they haven′t even read it yet
Etiquette pertaining to predicate
My actions attracting interactions from factions seeking rations
Cash and jewels escape me as I walk the streets faintly
Panicking lately
Usually a calm brother, I suffer from the stress and duress
Of the windows that I see closing
Never sure which ones′ll be open
And I keep hoping for a little rest
But it doesn't seem to be in my cards
So I wake up and I work hard
Hardly sleeping, fans needing more of the raw
They tell me never stop, well I can′t promise I'll forever drop
Ever by request from your favorite chef
Another rhyme written near death
And that a platter served best
On a sunny day drive with some weed in your chest
Or in the dead of winter when you got some time to invest
More or less, horror fest awaits those who hesitate
And miss their calling in life, this time it′s too late
But for now, recognize that God bless the child
With style, support my records, keep me on file
And I'll bring forth with sincerity of course
Some descriptions of my mission while I′m trotting my course
It's the end of an era
But the dawning of a brand new age
Live your life inside these brand new days
Though they tell you it's terror
It′s the dawning of a brand new age
Move forward in these brand new days
Take a look in the mirror
Love yourself inside these brand new days
If you thought you made mold and decay
Though they tell you it′s terror
How I know it? It was wrote on my page
Live your life inside these brand new days

Yo, I usually don't do shoutouts at the end of records and none of
That, but this time is just different for me, you know? ′Cause
Uh, I faced so much adversity to get here, you know? I just, I'm
Just glad to be here, be alive to do this for y′all and for me
So, uh, I guess the point is, I just want to say thank you, you know
What I mean? I want to say thank you to all my fans out there
Anybody that supported this record, anybody that's listening to this
Record, you know what I mean? I hope that these thoughts connected
With you, you know? ′Cause they came directly from the heart, you
Know? And on that note, check me in the future. I'm outta here, peace
