Dr. Wylie and I used to throw keg parties in our dorm room

Roommates stealin’ overhead speakers from the campus

Wudn’t but two weeks ‘til I dropped outta school, again

Stuck to theatre, track & field, and rappin’

Wasn’t much for battlin’, but more for sarcasm

Clashin’ wit with suburban women who thought the city was tragic

But comin’ where I’m from, Riverside-Fuckin-Plaza

Longfellow hood, lower-middle class proper

Walkin’ home from schools starin’ at the factories

That exploit the poor huffin’ silicon for fifteen an hour

Your life for someone else’s profits

The origin of the sociopath starts with economics

I headed back to school. Black decathlete

Studyin’ old-dead-white-men plays and rappin inbetween

Rockin’ shows at venues, freestylin’ at frat parties

Impressin’ everyone except myself- quandary

I ain’t the type to celebrate a W with light kicks

Won’t consider it victory if it’s less than six-hits

Put’em out with that roundhouse-super-art finish

Disgraced to go back to trainin’ mode and live with it

The aim is to do better. Never satisfied

For those who keep runnin after they pass the finish line

Block out the noise, block out the world, none of it matters

And listen to me now… it’s gonna happen

-

Chorus

Some people are like moments

That ya can’t get by

Just when you least notice

You’re on the other side

-

Toured the country on a dime and a deathtrap some people called a bus

Folks swore they could see their dreams and aspirations watchin’ us

I fell in love with small towns I never thought I’d pay the mind

Headed home with hangovers, but let my heart stay behind

Slowly lost the pulse, foldin’ by default

With each tour came the cost of a few morals and broken laws

So when I ran into Jake outside’a the Dinkytowner

We came together like Luke Cage and Doctor Strange fightin’ the Hood at full power

All five rings thrashin’

Threw the victory after-party at Avengers mansion

Kickin’ it, laughin’ at jokes that used to be about me

Until the mixtape piper started getting’ rowdy rowdy

But after the ruckus died down, the liquor slowly vanished

Dr. Wylie cut the music, but one woman remained dancin’

She pulled me in close enough I could count her eyelashes

Then she whispered in my ear… It’s gonna happen

Chorus
