lost potential in a computer
lost my mind in compression and EQin
de-essing, delaying, and reverb
somehow the nerd of this music, still see hurt
been playing teacher and unsung hero
making sure the decibals never going above zero
got my fingers hurting. hardly sleeping. hardly eating
got my mind running in different directions I’m trying to stop from leaving
now if you think it’s easy to be, your own mixer
that’s if you ain’t working for a living
think it’s perfect I ain’t get it. what’s it matter to me
I’m just an engineer. my path should be clear as can be
clear as the see. clear as the sky
I should be aiming for that mountain high
grammy winning award for best sound just to be that guy
when really I’m tryna be that guy
slade wilson unmasked it’s death stroke. now don’t forget the y
young

been working. get that mix complete
all to earn so that I can eat
been thinking if this life is even fit for me
want it for myself. it’s that bittersweet symphony
this that bittersweet symphony
been thinking if this life is even fit for me
all to earn so that I can eat
until then I’m working to get that mix complete

tracking vocals. hardly running tracks
making others glo. I’m hardly finding where my money’s at
thinking now I’m grown. I should worry bout my own
never learned the lesson that I can not do it all alone
I’ve been rapping this hard
but lately I feel like mufasa as he’s battling scar
though I know it’s my fault cause I was too dumb and gave in
and put others fore’ me. no performance. no art
coming straight through my fingertips
pure blood and frustration
but time can’t be made up with compensation
I’ve been tryna squeeze in to the conversation. it’s obvious
And clear to me. no one gives a damn concerning my creations
like yeah I know I’m crazy. I ripped my whole damn heart out.
and put it on a track like ain’t that something maybe
I’m running low on toleration and patience
and I’ve been working like a slave. I hope I’m free
before the day I’m hanging

been working. get that mix complete
all to earn so that I can eat
been thinking if this life is even fit for me
want it for myself. it’s that bittersweet symphony
this that bittersweet symphony
been thinking if this life is even fit for me
all to earn so that I can eat
until then I’m working to get that mix complete
