Much love and respect goes out to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five who helped to inspire a little Filipino-Alaskan boy.

lyrics

Verse1:
CountlessStarryNights
CountingMyBlessings :
BoundlessProgression

WhenISpeak! //
RevealTheTexture
AndEveryone'sDealingWithPressure :
ButEverywhereILook,
IFeelMyAncestors! /
Ayo, fuck a rockstar... :
when the revolution comes
find my crew busting shots at cop cars //
Fuck an occupation of the Imperial Kind :
I See National Democracy
Clearly In My Mind! /
TheFearsWeDefine
AppearsInTheGrind :
I'mOnMyLapuLapuShit
CraftingSpearsIntoRhyme! //


chorus:
don't push me
cause i'm close -- to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
it's like a jungle sometimes
that makes me wonder how we're dealing with this hunger


Verse2:
SometimesIAskMyselfWhatAmIDoing?

chorus:
don't push me
cause i'm close -- to the edge
I'm trying not to lose my head
it's like a jungle sometimes
that makes me wonder how we're dealing with this hunger
