Answer

Info

Slipping into my tier two waiting for something dope to hit me,
Often times I sit and ponder, sometimes I hope that Rhyme just bit me,
Trying to get through my rust and get this thing done, maybe rip free
I got through the first verse, How far before it gets tricky

I used to have these thoughts pour into lines, they used to fall in
I wrote about things that bothered me it used to be my calling
Now I see this light shine in my face asking me what I'm doing
I can't write about one thing, now that's some stuff to ruin

I keep myself invisible, to make me look bleek
So that I'm not pushed into any zone in which I'm clearly weak
I yap and yap till you yell at me, cause you keep me going harder
Till there's no barrier in my way, and there's no stop sign or no border

I set my sights on oblivion, that is being forgotten,
My rhyme rust won't wear off of me,this stuff is getting rotten,
I know this is probably going into blind ears as I'm jotting,
I need to vent it out now cause I'm about hit rock bottom,

My clown smile hides the aching that I'm carrying inside me,
But there's a good to great chance that it's just my paranoia, it defines me
I know I'll never be even close to the people around me,
That's what keeps me up at night, it makes me think less of me,

Attention is a giant burning light it either shines or burns you down,
In the solitary palace in your own One man Town,
This isn't a cryptic story for you to look at and decipher,
I wanted to get out the accumulated sorrow, Now I've got to pay the piper,

This might be another hiatus note, not to keep you waiting,
This is a hello and a goodbye to the loving and the hating,
The glass ceiling that i see above that's the thing that I've been chasing,
Im not here to beg and plead and I'm not here for any rating
