Polaris - Anthm, Blu

Before I watch it all vanish, like the lost city of Atlantis

I’m taking advantage of the mechanics that I was handed,

'til I give up the ghost, see my soul still riddled with hopes

In the sky see me scribble my quotes, that be my legacy

I’m blazing like armageddon, I started betting on me

Instead of bombarding heaven with my prayers

Driven by competitive edge, fully fledged

On the ledge, next to veteran heads like Mt. Rushmore

Clutching the mic', see me bust raw

Reaching for pinnacles that I lust for

Pure artistry, from the heart of me, 'till I depart

Whether or not I’m arguably regarded like rap martyrs be

21 gun salute, before they shoot

How I be living proof, niggas shake this destiny then Poof!

One day, the dark nights might fade us

At least I got to shine like the greatest

Turn me up…

Yeah

Guess who

Eyyo it’s all elementary dawg, I was a 10 year old

Spitting flows, dreaming of being dipping the prince’s gold

Picket fences blocked the visions I was sent to hold

So I kicked it open like Eminem did at Interscope

I sip the OE, thinking of those before me

Who never made it, sharing the stage with fakes and phonies

But I never hated, elevated the ceremony

Listed on your homie’s all time favorites

I should get a Rolly

'Till I’m at the Tonys

Posting like a trophy, I would never act

When I’m on track, people know me from the West

To East so far you see the Bering Sea

Holding Mongolian gold until they bury me

Like an Egyptian God probably be in hieroglyphs

So all my niggas reminisce as they bottles sip

Pac shit, I get the chills when I play this

At least I got to shine like the greatest

Relenetlessly, I reinvent this

So called thing, you call a dream

When I sent this, Message in a bottle

Up to Mt. Olympus

What’s the use, hollering Zeus

Are we calling a truce?

Can I

Live?

Won’t spare you my tongue

You know I gotta shine if there’s air in my lungs

So when you stare, picture the glare in the sun

The suns sets when I perish

I’m done

One

One day, the dark nights might fade us

At least I got to shine like the greatest

I said:

One day, the dark nights might fade us

At least I got to shine like the greatest

Today, the dark nights might fade me

But the shine never made me

It was the, heart of the lion

See a man’s vision, praying in the church of ambition

Amen
