lyrics

(Chorus)
On the rise to the top
You gotta get live, get live
Get live, get live, get live, get live
You gotta live it up

(Verse 1)
Coming from a prism of optimism
Opposite of prison or communism
On a mission for ya to listen
And you know there’s wisdom in the rhythm within him
Realism and dreams
Happiness over cream
For both I have to play my part
To live a life of movies, music, and art
And they go hand in hand
I’m just trying to give you bars like a histogram
The fault finder will find fault even in paradise - (Henry David Thoreau)
So I guess originality and individuality will suffice, right?
Seven percent of a section is in objection
Other 93 see projection and Hip Hop’s resurrection
I access this so that I express
Trying to make music’s that’s timeless
That’ll live forever like the hydrozoan jellyfish
Is my wish with this
Not it’s apocalypse
Or disappearance in an abyss
So make amazing music
That sticks and clicks
So you can kick
Classic
Excitement, Ecstatic
Make magic

(Verse 2)
Life often feels like I’m in the Truman Show
Hoping others aren’t in control
But it’s my movie so I’ma play my role
You have to play the one that’s in your soul
Be who you are and live like a star
Explore the plot and take it far
We can all have exceptional stories seen on the screen
Be the special person we see in these scenes
Works of fiction help me understand the life we livin’
Work hard for the top spot cuz ain’t nothing given
Reality can be faker than movies
Many people and constructs ain’t real to me
And many parts feel pointless
Find purpose is what the point is
But movies are fake as well
Cuz in the end all is well
Happy endings like a Chinese message parlor
The allure of hope is what they’re all for
It left me in love with the idea of love
Cuz it’s never been the experience of
Difficult to be achieving
Believe me
Dealing with what I’m seeing
Not what others are weaving

(Bridge)
“We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of the dreams”
(- Willy Wonka / Arthur O'Shaughnessy)

(Verse 3)
To make music is my dream
So I’ll let my thoughts stream
Amongst this rhyme scheme
With this Powered On Dreams theme
Let my thoughts do the talking
Steps closer to my dreams kind of like I’m sleep walking
All looking for that feeling of being whole
All trying to achieve our dreams and goals
We’re all on the quest for that
So follow your screenplay or map
Invent The Past
Invent The Past
