Entitled to Success

I gotta make it...

Kept the world waiting

With my procrastination

But tell the Nation I’m on my way.

My clothes are still in the dryer

So I’ll be fashionably late

But I’ll be fly

So fly, I’ll fly right over your head.

Killing them,

Killing them until I’M dead

Because they’ve been dead—

Brain-dead..

Undead..

Like zombies

It’s unreal how much biting they do.

With all these people watching

You realize

Danger is REAL

Fear is a CHOICE

But failure is not an OPTION.

I gotta make it

I’m entitled to SUCCESS.
