In a world
Burning away like paper angel wings
One man
In a world
Rising up just to choke upon the ashes,
One man
In a world
Hotter than the coals of hell,
Fiercer than the hounds of war,
Here to drag you through the night,
One man

If I write enough lines I know I'm gonna find it
Might take a little while, but, guys, I gotta try it
Remix and revise in my mind until I like it
cisum eht ot evalssb, take a moment to rewind it
Like a pick-six that you just weren't expecting
Wasn't looking for a pass but I took an interception
Didn't write these lyrics just to keep y'all guessin'
I'm the man on the mountain tellin' y’all I'm the best 'n'
mighta noticed like diamonds, these lines are shining
they go hard just the same and forever I'm rhyming
There's glitter on my lips like I kissed your neck
Push me down further 'til I'm in your chest
Now your heart goes harder for The Persona
The beat that I bump is the one thatcha love
Pulse 'til you sweat, soakin' wet
Now we're back to your lips; guess you heard I'm the best,
Wider than angel wings
Taller than cathedral doors
I'm a halo shining bright
Bigger than these metaphors
Hotter than the coals of hell
Fiercer than the hounds of war
Here to drag you through the night
Bigger than these metaphors
Stand tall on my altar, J.D. don't falter
Hold me, from your knees, above all others
Like Zeus I thunder, like Mars his brother
I stomp a new beat, making armies shudder
Aphrodite's lover; Same to your mother
I'm Poseidon when I'm rhymin', flowing over and under
Yeah, I'm good when I'm deep, let me into your sea
Let the tide roll over you, my trident, and me
Like a hero of Homer, this quest I'm on
Sees me bestin' the gods as the song plays on
Turn your headphones up 'n' hear an epic sound
Ambrosia for ears 'cuz I'm chorus-bound
Finding new ways to get my name on your playlist
Finding new ways to say I'm the greatest
There aren't enough words written to tame it
All the poems ever spoken pale to proclaiming

Stare into a screen
where the cursor's gonna flash
Struggle to type
another line from the past
Now I'm done with the blade
I'm done with the jade
No more fingers down my throat forcing songs from my mistakes
There was a time when I suffered
for the love of another
When my life and my lines were not designed to discover
Myself but instead
they were there to be misled
from the me turning corners
again and again and again
It's a brand new day; I'll turn the leaf
I'll pull the quill, I'll let it bleed
Got the weight of the world beneath my feet
No more star-gazing from my place of certainty
Like a phoenix rising up just to choke upon the ashes
I'm past taking glances looking back at second chances.
The sun rises every morning even if I don't see it
Time to smile at my mistakes like I'm born underneath it.
Gonna burn away these paper angel wings
and ride the wind that morning brings
I don't love wisdom;
I love the right sound
Gotta drop another chorus just to get me off the ground, right now
