Look, when the mic goes on, I do this for the love
And when the mic goes off, and the lights go off
I know I've got love when I look up
Coz you look down
So I let it unfold let the mind go
I'm fine but what do I know
Its like I'm on a high note
When I'm rhyming its like no
Other high is alike so, I'm as high as I might go
At any time of my life don't, ever say that you might know,
What its like on this tight rope, you cant know what its like in my zone
All I ever wanted to do when I jumped on
Was make em see
Ive always wondered if this path that I'm on is the one that was chosen for me
But is life really all that deep?
For me to be the person they see
I had to go through more pain then I could contain so I could just be me
But one things true
When the mic goes on
I do this for the love
And when the mic goes off
And the lights go off
I know I've got love
When I look up
Coz you look down
When the mic goes on (I see your face)
I do this for the love
And when the mic goes off
And the lights go off (outside my window)
I know I've got love
When I look up (when I look into the sky)
Coz you look down at your boy on the ground.
When I'm walking about I start thinking about
The past and why I'm from a torturous house
I feel awkward about what I'm talking about so I push it to the back of my mind never sorting it out
Its an illness that's hard to deal I finding it hard to confront these fears
One half of me scared the other half fearless
Parts of me cares and part of me don't give a f*ck
Coz I know when its all weighed up I'm a class above
This shits from the heart its just not made up
They they were all sleeping I stayed up
I pray up to my angel above
To give me the guidance I need to erupt on a scene that I love
I'm well aware that they believe in me just let me breath
When the mic goes on
I do this for the love
And when the mic goes off
And the lights go off
I know I've got love
When I look up
Coz you look down
When the mic goes on (I see your face)
I do this for the love
And when the mic goes off
And the lights go off (outside my window)
I know I've got love
When I look up (when I look into the sky)
Coz you look down at your boy on the ground.
No matter how bad things got
No matter how sad or lost
Somehow I knew you was above
Looking down at me from the gods
Even though I couldn't see your face
Swear down I could feel your love
Even though my mind weren't straight
Swear down you helped me adjust
Now I've come a long way from the kid who was stuck
Confused as much as I was- was enough to put me in a rut that was deep as the cut that was sliced in me yeah it cut so deep
I know that I've grieved that shit wont stop
But when the light in my mind goes on and I write these songs I know I belong on the path that you placed me on you make me strong
When the mic goes on
I do this for the love
And when the mic goes off
And the lights go off
I know I've got love
When I look up
Coz you look down
When the mic goes on (I see your face)
I do this for the love
And when the mic goes off
And the lights go off (outside my window)
I know I've got love
When I look up (when I look into the sky)
Coz you look down at your boy on the ground
