Xikay - Unexperienced Odyssey
Can you, can you hear?
The stage is calling me
Unexperienced odyssey
Who would welcome me?
I feel, I feel it strong
The desire to flip the script
Society's fucking shit
Look,
I've been writing rhymes all my life
And most of the time; I couldn't tell left from right
But I've found my plight
An anxious kid trying to take the stage
With a boy-ish charm and scars on my face
Yeah, I lived in many different ways
I could tell you about the drug days
Or how my momma cast me away
Time heals all wounds, is what they say
And comedy my walking stick
A complete picture if I add this spliff
Can you, can you hear?
The stage is calling me
Unexperienced odyssey
Who would welcome me?
I feel, I feel it strong
The desire to flip the script
Society's fucking shit
If I had it my way, I'd already be a household name
But society had other plans for me
It would crush my dreams and make me sick
It would put me on a butcher's bench and gut me like a fucking pig
Then the salt, right in the open wound
And tell me to "get the fuck out and do something with your life, you fool"
It would fill me with anxieties, that I never knew were a part of me
Cause growing up, I was a happy kid
Just fucking around telling jokes and shit
Not giving a fuck what my mom would think
"Cause the beating's unavoidable", is what I would think
Can you, can you hear?
The stage is calling me
Unexperienced odyssey
Who would welcome me?
I feel, I feel it strong
The desire to flip the script
Society's fucking shit
And now soon, if luck would allow me too
I might surprise you too
With the controversial shit I pull
Cause not everything I say and do is a'ight
Don't forget, I'm just a human mind
But the things I have to say
Are told from experience, not ignorance in any way
So if one day I stand on stage to tell some jokes
and everyone looks
I hope you remember that I wrote this shit
Before I got big.
