lyrics

Brain Funk
Impulse (Nick Riley)

V1: I could kill right now for some motivation,
Guess that’s what I get for tryna be creative,
No, I never settle for the dry ice,
Yes I’m a little disappointed with the club life,

V2: So you wanna let your chain hang low? Shoot,
Goth dudes back in high school did too.
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with the occasional bling,
But somma ya’ll dressin’ up like beauty queens.

V3: I was born in the one and only KC,
Two, lovin’ parents, a younger brother, my family.
Me and my homies mashin’ buttons on the 64,
Flip tricks off uh curbs when we got bored,

V4: 5th grade when the towers fell in 01,
Too young to understand the implications,
But who can blame a kid, for wantin’ to have fun,
I guess it’s just growin’ pains that I’m facin’

Chorus

How can I measure up? (Don't need to)
When I'm afraid uh these changes,
and time that I'm wastin',
I'm gonna give it up,
Live for completin' this vision,
Thank you, for believing' in me...

V5: ......... I'm so blessed,
- Got through the rough patches with a silk vest,
- Lookin' top notch when I step in to the room,
Sometimes, nah, I prefer the casual,

V6: Yes I was a late bloomer, call it call it summer time,
Blond hair, pale skin, with the hazel eyes,
Love it when I can't figure how to categorize,
Those who, share the hi's, and the goodbyes,

V7: I have cried, and I'm not ashamed to admit that,
I can rap, but poetry's where my heart is at,
Poetry in motion is the boom bap,
Ride that through the city, write your own map,

V8: I act ghetto sometimes when I'm really bored ,
And always till I die, I'm servin' the Lord,
Best believe, as up and down as this journey gets,
I won't stress, I'm coastin' on this coaster instead,

Chorus

V9: It's about that time, when the
Curtains gettin' drawn back from side to side,
Intimated by the mic,
Funny looks from the audience, waitin' for you to start cookin,

-You have all the ingredients to do great things,
The only question remaining, is do you believe?
In yourself, in your fam, in the God who is holdin' your
hand when you can't understand why...


Bridge:
We all get tired at times,
Composin' elegant rhymes,
When we are hurtin' inside,
ooohhh,
But I will never give in,
It's time to begin...

There's a whole world waitin' on your next move,
Let's go

Don't need to measure up,
When I'm afraid uh these changes,
and time that I'm wastin',
I'm gonna give it up,
Live for completin' this vision,
Thank you, for believing' in me...
