I was in a dark space Between a rock and a hard place Knew I was alive when my heart raced Buried alive but very alive They be very surprised to find out Harry survived The boy who lived got tied up for marrying tryna Ride off into the sunset with nary goodbye Shot him off his high horse ate his American pie Called out his arrogant lies Tossed him in hole in the middle of nowhere you never could find Where's his money now Where his wife at Where his manager Where his hype at Then they threw the dirt on the casket An end to the hunt for the baby in the basket Nobody Moses alone with the mallet That's when the pen turn the stone to a tablet Jail break stylus I chiseled like Shawshank I fought for my Life Ray Gibson Claude Banks My ideas turned the cage into shark tank Tears over warpaint Gotta give the Lord thanks Walking thru the desert same mighty sword Not yet tired but I might be sore I was in a dark space My mind was playing tricks like Scarface My pen strong like a one-inch punch I eat all the cornbread they don't want they lunch I was in a dark place me and my pen None of my friends None of my kin None of my weapons One of my limbs One of my arms I made a beat with my elbow first Then my fist started knocking like the bell don't work In my palm was the pen from that one fable The old legendary story of the lunch table Then I kicked a technique that was so fatal it went Fall down BABYLON JERICHO DAGON Melt every wall in dungeon dragon We was in a dark place now the lights back on I just needed something I could rap on Right then and there the roof caved quick rubble stone The kick kicked another hole The dirt filled another whole A pen in the hand of a hero arose clenched fist clawing its way out of the highs and the lows
