Pioneering Burdens

from Get Off My Lawn by Uncle Sam MC

lyrics

As the story unfolds, I’m on it like a hawk
I’m seeing how they move and I’m hearing how they talk
But something seems strange, just a little bit off
While I’m laying down this pavement, keep popping up with chalk
Writing out their names and scribbling their little art
Yeah, it looks cool ‘til I’m pouring out my scotch
Walking other folks roads and you wonder why you’re lost?
I could spell it out for you, but really I’d rather not
In the war room with my day-ones, laying out the plot
As I stick to the script you rather would crew hop
No foundation, so you’ll always be chasing a new thought
Like a cat when a moth fly by
You get tossed straight out the picture
I’m raw- no mixture
It really is simple, just stick to the scripture
When the time comes you’ll find yourself a fixture
While these cheat code cats still search for the elixir

I am…a hero hibernating
I’m a have you screaming like
Eyes on the beast, I can’t find no release
A hero hibernating
Did you think that you would get me like that?

I’m not even stressing, sometimes it’s just depressing
Seeing people that you rock with never learn a lesson
Or maybe it’s just me and all this second-guessing
Got me missing out on simple solutions to tough questions
Huh…
I’m learning to count my blessings
Keep my mind clean, meditate for perception
Sometimes I think that I’ve lost my direction
Step back, then I notice my progression
Small changes like a bonsai tree
I’m placing bets, never wonder what the odds might be
And I’ll be damned if I let you play my cards for me
Nomad, I’m not known to have a squad with me
Gods and beasts, keep distance from the frauds and cheats
Thorns or wreathes- as above, so beneath
Dark nights spend searching for a worldless peace
Long lost, on we march, no retreat

I am…a hero hibernating
I’m a have you screaming like
Eyes on the beast, I can’t find no release
A hero hibernating
Did you think that you would get me like that?

Uncle Sam MC

I'm releasing new music the first Thursday of every month. Then I'm going back to the studio that night to record the next one.

It's been an incredible journey so far... Who knows where we'll go next?
