The Individualist

Gather round children, I got a tale to tell ya

There was a time when I couldnt bust a rhyme
Had yet to hit my prime
cause my mind was such a young mind
And first you got to unwind
The mystery of your soul, its like a black hole
The gravity is too thick
You got to learn to lighten up a bit
Its such a frightening thing to realize
Every time you close your eyes
You been cut down to size
cause youre stuck with yourself
Aint nobody else to compare yourself to
Its just you
And then you ask yourself, whats it all about?
So you try to figure it out
And thats when youll be tempted to believe foolish things
And deceive yourself by lettin someone else
Do your thinkin for you
When they havent got a clue
But you cant relive the hype, dont ya see?
cause I got a special answer meant just for me
Somewhere in my immediate vicinity

And if theres time enough to get it
Then in time Im gonna get it
cause I am the individualist

Check my references
Wherever you are now you know I been there, done that
Dont need to sling the scat cause my resume is too fat
Change my name to some funky fresh dingbat
Like the artist formerly known as tr-i
I got to laugh when they try to figure out what its all about
And they doubt that Im so devout
But its something I can do without
I got to know why I wanna know what I wanna know
Why do I go where the others wont go?
My eye is on the prize thats in disguise
That you can only theorize, but I can utilize
To rise above the lies about reality
cause you cant relive the hype dont ya see?
cause I got a special answer meant just for me
Somewhere in my immediate vicinity

And if theres time enough to find it
Then in time Im gonna find it
cause I am the individualist

Here comes the individualist
Yes I am, the individualist
