lyrics

Verse 1:
Walking down as I click my lightsaber on
A sith lord is what you made me on
hardly 150 but every pound in my weight is strong
you better fear me when you take me on
Imma surprise to you cause I’m something you never heard before
geeked up every time this nerd performs
am I worthy important
is my path crystal clear or distorted
who knows I’m just tryna not be eaten like herbivores
cause in this world, my mind state is an intramural
caged trap feel aged back my mind is still submerged
still immersed still impure, still ain’t really sure
asking on a daily to myself if mind is really yours
or is it everything I’m trying hard not to be
fighting against the natural alignment of the astronomy
it’s like the way the weight of the world’s falling on to me
I’ll fall down and collapse the way it’s ought to be

Chorus:
and if you feeling like I’m rhyming today
when nothing’s going your direction or way
on a bigger path to something greater than you and your fate
when all the obstacles are up in your face
gone way low way low
world falling as I say so
burning all the bridges with a paid toll
Miguel said let the bridges burned light our way
let our paths be revealed by them UV rays

Verse 2:
I’m lowkey rap’s bureaucrat mixed fixture spitting pure crack
when half the time can’t find where my words at
fighting demons just a fraction of the worse half
other half’s dealing with this real world earth crap
and people told me work on my craft so I can own it
but thinking about it drives you crazy every waking moment
I’m far from being a master at this
and I ain’t claiming that title I’m just tryna take this fear and hone it
cause I’m struggling. ain’t no one is humble man
turn the whole scene to a smackdown rumbling
attention span is a wrecking plan for the lesser man
if I’m tempt to kill he can try and defend the best he can
running laps around seems no progress
inner conflict with my conscience
I’m just being honest. there’s nothing else to call it
a dead soul is what I am but being young’s the calling

Chorus:
and if you feeling like I’m rhyming today
when nothing’s going your direction or way
on a bigger path to something greater than you and your fate
when all the obstacles are up in your face
gone way low way low
world falling as I say
burning all the bridges with a paid toll
Miguel said let the bridges burned light our way
let our paths be revealed by them UV rays

Verse 3:
Now hear me out cause I ain’t won yet
I ain’t done shit. I’m the one these people wanna convict
behind a screen, keyboard, and trackpad
studio monitors, mac, and my backpack
now ask that. who’s the cyborg with the engine
inside of his ears when the rest of you are pretending
built an empire. before I was tempted
to kill and murder my soul, myself, and my zen
sitting inside of this chair, but it’s really feeling electric
fact’s I’m ecstatic with a dark side tension
lightning in my veins. pulse in my hearts replaced
with a beat and thunder rumbling’s my sub's
my real rap won’t be peeled back any longer
you’ll finally hear me for once and feel that
the music that I make ain’t something to appeal masses
it’s all me. real lines. real rap. real facts

Chorus:
and if you feeling like I’m rhyming today
when nothing’s going your direction or way
on a bigger path to something greater than you and your fate
when all the obstacles are up in your face
gone way low way low
world falling as I say
burning all the bridges with a paid toll
Miguel said let the bridges burned light our way
let our paths be revealed by them UV rays

about

YDS New Orleans, Louisiana

Grown up with the underdog mentality, I, as YDS, look to showcase to the world that being cool and fitting in is not the most important thing in the world. It's about discovering who you really are and staying true to it while never putting on a facade. I used to try to put on for my city, but now I only put on for me and whoever's with me. I truly hope you enjoy my music and what I have to offer, ... more
