Voices in the air
I hear 'em loud and clear
Telling me to listen
The fans are screaming, yelling, "Why Tyson, why can't you just get that push we think you deserve?" I shake my head, looking down at the ground unable to make eye contact, getting backstage as fast as possible. I go to my locker room and shut the door. Something has to give, and soon.
Whispers in my ear
Nothing can compare
I just wanna listen
Nattie looks at me when I shut the door, and smiles. I just shake my head, sliding down against the cold metal door. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but apparently creative does. She walks over to me and sits down in front of me. "TJ, you can't give up. You've worked so damn hard to get here. You will get through this. I know it isn't easy. I know how it makes you feel, but you have to realize. TJ, you are invincible. You might not see it, but I do."
As my world turns, the heart beats
Not only in my chest, but the heart in the streets
So when they feel this, they feel me
I look up at her, and shake my head. "Nattie," I start, "The fans. Even they are starting to lose faith in me. My world is stopping dead in its tracks. Do you know how hard it is for me to walk outside, and all the fans just walk away? They don't feel my energy, or my passion Nat. They've given up on me."
But I can't feel nothin', outside these Dre Beats
Another flight to another city, I don't even understand why I keep putting myself through this. I put my Beats Studios on, and fade the world away. Scanning through my iPhone, trying to find a song to bring my mood up, but nothing seems appealing. Suddenly I find the new MGK song and decide I might as well give it a try. I close my eyes and let the music take me over.
I am from the city of people, came from the bottom
Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, whats up?
Except for shows, we are the dead man walkin'
But reflections show this kid's still got it
Better be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king
Never grew up around a family because I'm not a human being
And anyone under my bubble thats coming in my spot, for the top
My eyes snap open, realizing that the time is now it can't wait anymore. I've given everything I have day in and day out letting the world know, that this Kidd is still here. My matches show that I'm irreplaceable. I came from the bottom of the world, but right now. I am, on top of the world.
Let 'em hav it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
Waking up sweatin from the stress of being caged out
Everything I write is played out like what is this
Tear the whole page out
Man I come from holes in the wall but they don't know the past
Even if I told them it all they wouldn't know the half
So maybe I fill up my luggage with all these dreams
I'm at my house with Nattie, packing up my things to go on the road for another turn. My confidence has started to build, and I think everyone has noticed. I'm ready. I know that I am, I just have to prove to everyone else, that I am ready.
And pull on my black coat and my black chucks and nothing in my jeans
It's just one, til the day come like Rocky's movie scene
The day I'm on top of the world, look up the screen like this is me, this is Kells
Crucified by the public without the nails
Do or die in my city but clearly I never failed
Lost myself from the game when I found myself from the cell
And I found myself from the fame when I lost myself in the pills
And you cannot mess with me still, seen the boys and they winnin'
Underdogs of the year, Cleveland boys in tha buildin'
What the fuck is a ceiling?
I'm taking us to the top
And when I leave the whole world drops
Lace Up Kells
I asked for time to do a Promo, because I know I need to. I walk out to the ring, no theme music. It wasn't needed this time.
"Okay guys," I started, "I know I'm on a losing streak, and I know I'm not going anywhere. I can hear you guys, I can hear your voices loud and clear, you're all telling me to listen. People back stage are whispering in my ear, and I can hear them too. All I need to say, is I'm Invincible. I'll break out, just like the first time. I'm an underdog, and that's what underdogs do. We prove everyone wrong. I'm sure you all know, that when I leave. The whole world drops!"
After saying that, I shut off the mic, and walked back stage. I guess I just needed this mentality all along.
Without me, the whole world drops.
