Lyrics
It’s a beautiful responsibility to chase your own standard (*sinister laugh*) Who was that? Your creative needle has to keep moving ‘cause the burden of being great is always having to prove it Your creative needle has to keep moving ‘cause the burden of being great is always having to prove it Generously the creator gave this gift to me Since then I’ve been persistent with its upliftment because I’m thankful for its delivery From the start of things, prospering was a fore-dream Thе process was exhausting As I birthed my skill and nurturеd it like an offspring No resting, I felt greatness was destined ‘cause my creative expression started to undergo an accelerated progression A fresh pen became my best friend And once I embraced that connection my affection for writing was never in question No secret, the accolades came frequent And with each sentence, the people would seek to see if I could equal it or exceed it Ran straight through every bar that I was faced with Saw greatness in the distance, challenging me to a race, that’s when I chased it I caught and wrestled it into submission Started living with the thought of [?] to precision And though I’m grateful for creative thought flames I’ve been given To live up to my standards I became painfully driven A blessing and a burden The lesson here is urgent This gift that I possess made me feel stressed and undeserving My standard was established while the rest were just emerging It’s an endless quest to still inject the message in the wording A blessing and a burden The lesson here is urgent This gift that I possess made me feel stressed and undeserving My standard was established while the rest were just emerging It’s an endless quest to still inject the message in the wording No one forced me to pick up this torch, it was self-handed Now on this lonely island of high standards I felt stranded The pressure quickly found my back and upon that it had landed I hadn’t planned to answer to that contrasting dynamic The parameters expanded, to maintain that was relentless The demand for more music doubled and it came back with a vengeance Like a true professional, I remained ethical ‘cause falling a step below my excellent expected flow was unacceptable Even when sleepy I’m conceiving deeply The beats would incarcerate me And only after completion they released me For decades now I’ve wondered if I’m crazy for continuing to feed the very insatiable nature that enslaves me What controlled me as a youngster still entraps me when I’m older Sunlight taps me on my shoulder after collapsing in my folder To make my work authentic and not fraudulent So when my fans debate they can present it in their arguments A blessing and a burden The lesson here is urgent This gift that I possess made me feel stressed and undeserving My standard was established while the rest were just emerging It’s an endless quest to still inject the message in the wording A blessing and a burden The lesson here is urgent This gift that I possess made me feel stressed and undeserving My standard was established while the rest were just emerging It’s an endless quest to still inject the message in the wording Expectation strengthened as my name was lifted The people fanned the flames, and the initial dose of praise became addictive But to think it’s ego-driven is absurdity My purpose is to usurp every previous piece of work that you’ve heard from me So minus all excuses and no matter what I’m going through I wrack my brain to make sure I don’t slack or disappoint you I don’t ever cheat my creative integrity Or let one bad record leave any negative blemishes on my legacy I stretched the boundaries to see how far I could get So now I live with the consequences of the bar that I set And yet it doesn’t matter consistently how you’ve been I could put out nine albums in one day and somebody gon’ say now do ten And if I did have any drop-off, it ain’t been much New artists coming everyday, gotta keep up with that influx I strain to write each word for each new ear that hears me suddenly ‘cause I never know which song will be their first when they discover me A blessing and a burden The lesson here is urgent This gift that I possess made me feel stressed and undeserving My standard was established while the rest were just emerging It’s an endless quest to still inject the message in the wording A blessing and a burden The lesson here is urgent This gift that I possess made me feel stressed and undeserving My standard was established while the rest were just emerging It’s an endless quest to still inject the message in the wording
