{Verse 1 TeeLow} Like the legend of the phoenix I bring it back to life thru fire on a remix I'm not a rapper with a whole lotta achievements but I'm workin hard to show 'em I'm a genius No Surrender did better than expected made it hard to follow up with the next shit but I got to work hella time invested the hardest part was phrasing my message finding a topic to speak on my mind went blank every time I put a beat on just searching for a platform I could put my feet on couldn't stop tho, I knew I had to keep on didn't quit now It's time to push back put the world on my shoulders and walk till my foot crack looking for a good place I can put that no sleep yet and I could use a good nap but I cant rest now I'm at a point where, I'm making my best sound love to see a fans face when I astound only a matter of time till I ascend to the crown started at the bottom time to take it on up the sheep all asleep time to wake em all up rappers wanna buy fame so they pay it on up but for me, i say, you make your own luck {verse 2 TeeLow} "Fight Back" right now thats my war cry don't bury ya dreams let 'em soar high need a motivator? than I am your guy but noone can see ya dreams like you do thru your... eyes thats as real as it gets clarity people don't know this feeling exists I'ma make it, can't give me a deal to quit so they tried to kick me out but I'm still in this bitch and line after line try to encourage others to get a goal in ya mind don't let anyone try to stop you from the climb all you need to put in is dedication and time give it an honest effort and hang on to the belief that it'll get better hard work and passion can outweigh the cheddar and put you into success forever but they'll tell you that you gotta Get Lucky or you can't do a thing without big money the same people will support you when it gets sunny yeah they all fake, and I think that shits funny firm believer that luck is what we make it and if you gotta shot then you have to take it some call my life a failure but I'd never trade it now I'm bout to fight back and they're gonna hate it!

(Hook 2x) I got a feeling that I cannot describe I don't even feel like I am alive It's deeper than any ordinary drive There's something powerful on the inside (I'm more than a king) I been, puttin in that hard work ideas close to the head like the hands of a barber I'm steadily creating a beautiful artwork and when people describe it they use the "R" word thats real, fuck how those hater cats feel make 'em sick and let vomit be they last meal but it's cool here's a toast to yall but I keep the bread wit my road dawgs most of all I feel I can jump any hurdle man and run inside of any circle man adversity cannot deter me I grind like Ima die before thirty put a fork in the road, you cannot curve me I'm noone's product, you cannot work me more than a king, you cannot serve me you may not see me but I know you heard me! (Hook 2x) I got a feeling that I cannot describe I don't even feel like I am alive It's deeper than any ordinary drive There's something powerful on the inside (I'm more than a king) Now I recognize God and all that he has done but right now, I'm feelin lika sun like chaotic events in my life got me charged to hit the sky, light up and be a star yeah, and I can't stop there help other bright minds, cause now is not fair they lettin ignorant money control their lives instead of placing our faith in the wise see I got a question I wanna ask would you quit if you knew you had a task that was bigger than you and your family? you hear me, but you don't understand me I can't go back, I can't shut it off I may have put it down but I had to dust it off This hip hop is bigger than one song if you're wit me put ya hands up and come along (Hook 2x) I got a feeling that I cannot describe I don't even feel like I am alive It's deeper than any ordinary drive There's something powerful on the inside (I'm more than a king)

I've invested so much into this rap shit, Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice... all so I could change the planet with my intelligence only to hate my choices, and irrelevance shoulda went to college, or joined the marines now I live with my mom, and rock some old jeans that i've had since before '09, I shoulda graduated with honors, but I was dumb and thinkin I had to make it old friends lookin at me with pity cop a bottle of whatever for an excuse to act shitty talkin to myself "he didn't crack did he?" cynical side of me at least got the stomach to laugh with me cancer knife or a gun, I don't know how to go cock back to the eyeball watch it explode hard to love because I'm harder to know (don't worry, I think it's all apart of the show) I've invested so much into this rap shit, Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice... they say sleep is the cousin of death thats why I wake up in a sweat, clutchin my chest in my dreams I feel a cold hand touchin my neck eyes blood shot lack of sleep, I guess I'm a wreck pray to god, but he don't want to hear it he like "you got my blessings but it's up to you to find the spirit" balls in my court, and it's up to me to work it thru the pain even though the outcome might not be worth it can't focus on the verdict, look to the performance but the inner struggle for originality is what torments I feel I can deliver a strong message of importance but in order to get that light I need to become a conformist that's how I, push my values to the back replay my tracks like "is that how you wanna rap?" trying to be original and not too complex overthinking it, until its all just nonsense I've invested so much into this rap shit, Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice... how many time's I gotta make it clear I can't wait no more I need my break this year 2014, Don't Fuck Up Our Beats 6 it ain't hard to tell, that it aint no secret all my eggs in a nest, get a deal or die reachin for the stars until I feel the sky I've invested so much into this rap shit, Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice...

I didn't want to use a real instrumental.... I wanted to do this to prove you can be low budget With just talent and work ethic and reach the whole public My name is TeeLow and my flow is so rugged But I know that rhymes alone just won't cut it So allow me to add to the mix the mind of an activist Fighting for love - a samurai hybrid with a pacifist Write down the best thinkers, I'm on the top half of the list Who remains a sane American capitalist Write down passages that fit inside shrink wrapped packages That little disc of plastic is more about integrity than avarice So when I get to rappin hits it's not about stackin chips It's about truth and knowledge that's why I'm so passionate Cause I know what it's like for some one to squat on my dream Used to get more Knocks than props when I hopped on the scene Now people see I stuck to it and wanna hop on my team So I want to encourage people to not stop for a thing Rappers get slanderous when they get infront if the cameras But I've never seen hate give anyone any advantage's So I'll keep it all love till I get to the really big show Shout out to kasey hammer and uncle rizzo!

{Verse 1 TeeLow} feel free to take in the magnificence a culture that is loved my millions google search, you'll see many different images hip hop truly is omnipotent from here to there, there is an identity that we clearly share transcends language we can feel the joy and the anguish say it's a black mans music thats just ignorance FBI can check it and see all types of fingerprints all types of citizens, Lord Jamar I see your house but lets add additions archaic those thoughts are soon to be 2014 is all about unity raise the roof and put down the weapons replace tolerance with acceptance {Hook} Do you see those dreams? High in the Sky? Do you know what it means? Neither do I But no Matter what I gotta reach No matter what put my hands up I gotta reach {Verse 2 TeeLow} Used to be those kids at the back of the bus freestylin teachers say that we rappin too much never heard 'em tho cause we was laughin too much saw out idols on TV and thought it could happen to us headphones on carryin a walkman exchange new verses for talkin seriously, those was our convos syllables, speed, multies, combos and if the CD skipped up I'd hit the computer and burn another mix up Nas, D12, Eminem The Roots, DMX, and Rakim It was all a dream so Star Eyed no matter the distance, walk to the Pharcyde don't know what it means but thats my Quest so it all makes sense I guess {Hook} Do you see those dreams? High in the Sky? Do you know what it means? Neither do I But no Matter what I gotta reach No matter what put my hands up I gotta reach
