Solitary Station

I’m so frustrated, everything is changing
I know my life is soon gonna need some rearranging
Questions I have asked myself can’t be answered by anyone else
Find dilemmas ‘round every turn, one door opens, two doors close

I’m running out of options of where to make my home
Can’t be sleeping couch to couch, can’t always do as they do in Rome
I need my own little getaway, solitary station
Solitarily confine me to my meditation

Taking all these placements, trying to get out of the basement
Early, early morning walking up these spiral stairs
Stressful night causing me to attract these viral stares
But my home is my lair where nobody can stare

And my homies are great, and my baby never hates
But I like to be alone so I can get into my zone

Let’s go
Alone, alone, where I like to write
My home, my home, if only for one night
Hotels, bus beds, taking over those ahead
But if I couldn't entertain I’d rather be dead

Here we go, listen up

I’ve ordered up my crown but it’s on layaway
‘Til I can come around and make the final pay
Meant to say that I’m not the best yet
I’ve got to be alone to perfectly plan the set

Stage show, lights glow, crowd goes crazy
Look at me, look at me, next Michael Jackson, baby
I can dance, I can dance, I will dance my face off
Slide my feet, spin my heels, I think it’s time to face off

Practice makes perfect, money makes it worth it
Sacrificing my time to reflect the spotlight shine and
It can take a toll as a person as a whole
As we’ve seen, we lost some members of our team
(Michael Jackson)

The pressure of the biz like education on our kids
And stress on artists expected to work hardest
And after all of this what you got to show for it?
A Rolls and a house but a whole life forfeit

Alone, alone, where I like to write
My home, my home, if only for one night
Hotels, bus beds, taking over those ahead
If I couldn't entertain I’d rather be dead

Don’t ignore this, you have to take a stand
Have to fight for your rights and make sure you understand
The fine lines and times and dates and shows
And stakes and breaks and pains and gains and chain changes

Your life ain’t ever gonna be the same
After everyone knows your name
But you wanted in on the game

Alright, but I’m a bit different
Yeah I want the fame, yeah I want the money
Yeah I want the money but I could do without the druggie

I don’t wanna ride heroin to the sky
I don’t need crack to hear my bass on blast
I’m doing this legit, got the raw talent
Gonna leave my footprint, gonna leave my footprint

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, man, I know who I am
And I’m sticking by my plan
Y’all better get ready, cuz I’ve been writing, going steady
And my cup is never ever ever ever ever empty
It’s never empty
