Gold in spirit, bronze in hands
The world's measure, not where I stand
A step forward and rise from the mud
The lotus blooms, but hidden by the flood
Friends fall away, the autumn in May
Alone, I stand stronger each day
And if my light will cast your shade,
Let me walk on my own way
Too young, too old
Too much for you
But baby, today I know for sure
I'm too good for you
So here I stand, at the edge of time
In the world unchanged yet wholly mine
Is it a gift? Or a curse?
It looks so shiny, but it sure hurts
Success draws fire, lasers in the sky
The higher I fly, the harder I can breath
Candle flickers, as wind blows the shine
My vibe won't kill yours, nor yours mine
Strangers applaud, but those around are blind
Pretend not to see, and then criticise
But tearing me down won't make you rise
Champagne on my falls won't put me aside
Too late, too early to begin
But baby, today I know for sure
I'm too dope for you
So here I stand, at the edge of time
In the world unchanged yet wholly mine
Is it a gift? Or a curse?
It looks so shiny, but it sure hurts
Too blessed, too rich too hot for you
But baby, today I know for sure
I'm too lit for you
So here I stand, at the end of line
In the world unchanged yet wholly mine
Is it a gift? Or a curse?
It looks so shiny, but it sure hurts
Is it a gift? Or a curse?
