The streetlights are blinding And the street signs are guiding Constantly reminding me I can’t look back, I gotta move forward The man on the big, big, big billboard Telling me to buy things that he knows I can’t afford, and I gotta make this count Before somebody goes and counts me out Gotta get my way through the darkness to the heartless Never looking back, I was born ready, regardless With the fatherless, hardness, like impostors Never was the smartest, just worked the hardest I’m an artist ready to start this I’m the firestarter when I’m ready to start this An [?] with a hook, ready to cut this Gonna catch me I gotta [?]
I take one step forward, two steps back I wanna free my mind, but I can’t extract I’ve been walking this road for a thousand years But I’m still lost in this parallax
I’m still lost in this parallax I’m still lost in this parallax
It’s a twisted, cryptic world we’re living in Shaped by somebody else’s opinions We all been forgiven But the government still needs to fill its prisons Uh, so go get your cruller Go lock ’em up until they older Uh, you can brush it off your shoulders While the kids run around with guns like soldiers Uh, what a mess we’ve made of this Looks like somebody hand-grenaded this Looks like there’ll be no escaping this I thank God that God is saving this Uh, got a little bit twisted Writing’s on the wall, it’s right here as lipstick I’m a misfit, but I must admit this Excuse me while I go remix it
I take one step forward, two steps back I wanna free my mind, but I can’t extract I’ve been walking this road for a thousand years But I’m still lost in this parallax
I’m still lost in this parallax I’m still lost in this parallax
Parallax, uh Parallax, uh (Parallax, parallax, I’m lost in this parallax Parallax, parallax, I don’t need you to tell me to relax) Prisoner, visitor, underground The walls can’t hold me, homie, only slow me down I’m gonna say something oh so profound And by the end of the night, I’ll be world-renowned I’m gonna take this mic like a foreign ambassador Reshape time like a flux capacitor Wanna talk money, holler my manager And keep your opinions, ’cause I ain’t asking ya Uh, two worlds collide Parallel universe in my mind A million years on the edge of time I missed my spaceship and got left behind So, where do I go now? I got lost and I don’t even know how Still spinning and I need to slow down Can I get home, I need to know now
I’m still lost in this parallax
I’m still lost in this parallax I’m still lost in this parallax I’m still lost in this parallax (Still lost in this parallax)
