Lyrics

Tonight is long enough for us to dream twice

Tonight offers ample time for us to dream twice

But I ain't catching no Z's, sing while I swing dice

I'm not sleeping, instead, I'm singing while taking chances with dice

There is a bet in every minute

Every minute holds a wager or risk

This is what I sound like winning...

These lyrics represent the sound of my victory

This is the Road between me and myself

Describes the journey between my present self and my inner self

Driving blindfolded down the highway of my hell

I'm navigating through my personal hell without clear direction

Standing on my own two, and I know my shit stank

Recognizing my flaws and faults

Part of me everywhere, everywhere the kid paints

My essence is scattered everywhere, reflecting the artistry of a young person

Hear me like a mural that be calling out your nickname

My presence is vivid and familiar, calling out to you like a painted mural

Never had no reason, like we grown in the first place

Life didn't provide a clear purpose from the beginning

Even though I'm still blind, I can just feel mine

Despite my blindness to some things, I sense what's truly mine

The ladder gone grow and I'm tired, but I still climb

My potential for growth is exhausting, yet I continue to climb

Poet and a prisoner, watch us both feel time

As both a poet and a prisoner, we both experience time's passage

Hear the hollow in my headphones wake me up

Music in my headphones jolts me awake

Start the search for mine, and a sky that will pick me up

Starting a quest for self-discovery and a place that will uplift me

My name's Fire, I am a friend of Dust

Introducing myself as Fire, a friend of Dust

I am tying all the ends that touch

I'm connecting and resolving various aspects of life

Now get down with it

Encouraging involvement in this journey

You and I are same, but I belong here

We share similarities, but I have a place here

Sense's turn to sleep, now I'm lost in the chair

My senses are dulled, and I feel disoriented

And I don't want to search, I just want to find

Prefer finding over searching for answers

And I don't want to work, I should've chose the life of crime

Expressing a wish for an easier life, regretting choices

Villain on his own grind, living in a goldmine

Identifying as a villain working hard in a valuable situation

Damn, this a good world, studio is all mine

Feeling content in my creative space

Now, I see where I sit is the throne

Realizing my position as a leader or influential figure

From the shit from up which we've grown

Recognizing growth from difficult situations

I am built for the worth we're owed

I am prepared for the value or respect I deserve

To the dirt where the earthly go

From humble beginnings to where we've progressed

Ain't no earthly soul

No one from this earthly realm understands

Now, I see where I sit is the throne

Reaffirmation of sitting in a powerful position

From the shit from up which we've grown

Reflecting on growth from difficult origins

I am built for the worth we're owed

Asserting readiness for the respect or value owed

To the dirt where the earthly go

Referencing the eventual return to the earth

Ain't no earthly soul

No one from this earthly realm understands

Or maybe I'm tripping, I don't really know

Expressing uncertainty or doubt

Maybe I'm slipping, blood up in my bones

Suggesting a possible decline or loss of control

The marrow of my mission, not bundles of dough

The essence of my purpose isn't material wealth but freedom

But breaking out of prison, this prison of my own

Escaping the confines of my own limitations

This is the Road between me and myself

Describes the ongoing journey between my present and inner self

Streaked in a gold with a glow that will make your eyes melt

Symbolic description of a dazzling path of self-discovery
