Off the Dome

Lyrics

Verse 1
I walk in, head clear
Heart heavy, still here
Turn pressure into poems
Turn fear into gear

These days move quick
Friends flip for a quick fix
I learn who’s real
When the room get quiet, that’s it

I was broke on the back block
Dreams in a backpack
Writing on receipts
Turned pain into gas, facts

Now I’m talking to the sky like
“Look, I ain’t done yet”
If the world wanna bet against me
Tell ’em run that

Chorus
This off the dome, I don’t rehearse it (hey!)
Life threw dirt, I rose to the surface
Came from the curb, now I’m touching a purpose
Missed my shot once, came back more urgent

This off the dome, no script, just spirit
If they don’t feel it, they never had to live it
Every scar in my story, I spill it
Off the dome, off the dome, yeah I’m still it (still it)

Verse 2
Ma said “keep focus”
Pop said “be patient”
I took both words
Mixed ’em up, made greatness

I seen bright minds in a cage
Whole lives on a short page
They called us lost causes
We just needed more space

I talk low but my will loud
Quiet kid, still move crowds
I ain’t chase cool
I made my own sound

If I fall, I fall forward
Pocket lint, but I’m still important
’Cause a broke kid with a big vision
Worth more than a rich man with no story

Chorus
This off the dome, I don’t rehearse it (oh yeah)
Life threw dirt, I rose to the surface
Came from the curb, now I’m touching a purpose
Missed my shot once, came back more urgent

This off the dome, no script, just spirit
If they don’t feel it, they never had to live it
Every scar in my story, I spill it
Off the dome, off the dome, yeah I’m still it
