drop the disguise - mario william vitale lyrics

Loading...

looking in the mirror i see a person in pain

trying to find shelter from reality’s rain;

seeing life as barren and bane

feeling despair like bruce wayne

though named after the fabled sir lancelot

i’m no legendary knight of camelot;

too silent, stoic and shy to ever talk a lot

stranded in sp-ce like an astronaut

feeling alienated and of a different breed

words ignored and never paid heed;

a knight without his princess, a knight without his steed

suffering from years of rage, looking to be freed

never knew how i’d survive

with these insecurities eating me alive;

fearful to take the wheel and drive

anxiously waiting for the day that light would finally arrive

i’m just another traveler lost without a map

would’ve succ-mbed to the darkness, if it wasn’t for basketball and rap;

mom and dad said that they were only traps

but they are my p-ssions that helped to fill the gap

basketball helped remind me of my humanity

having fun shooting hoops with others and retaining my sanity;

rap elevated my speech and vocabulary minus the profanity

but i focused on philosophy rather than vanity

studying lebron and carmelo’s scoring displays

copying chris paul’s p-ssing ways;

watching kobe and jordan’s fancy fadeaways

inspiring my own unique style of play

hours of listening to eminem’s robust rhymes

as well as reading 2pac and biggie’s lyrical lines;

practicing my own verses a million times

patiently waiting for hopeful signs

looking back at my past i thought i was zero

people looking at me like i was just some weirdo;

no longer a raging bull like robert de niro

because i realized that i was my own true hero

today i’m dropping the disguise

today i’m going to be humble and wise;

today i’ll no longer despise

today the phoenix shall rise
