Captain Planet

from Who is Lex Lingo by Lex Lingo

lyrics

first off bring the sonics back
took em from my city real shady and we on to that
see things are ass backwards
cowards on a creep up
everybody following so someones gotta speak up
im catching all my dreams and gripping them tight
cuz an honor that you've earned is remembered for life
and the temper is a price that i gotta pay
if i wanna see a day where i get away
cuz while life will try to get you down remember keep your chin up
and work for that island with a team full of pin ups
or that '63 nova with them cold chrome spinners
or a house for your family with a real warm dinner
see the media will feed you anything to make you vegetate
instead of holding dreams within your palm you only speculate
greatness is just around the corner you just gotta reach
ignore the negative lessons they teach
preach
ive done evil but i speak the truth fluently
my mommas proud of the fuckin man i grew to be
and the two or three times i presume to breath
is two or three too times too many between you and me
ill wade through the sea
at my truest speed
cuz even all this sewage breeds beauty see
im a goon but i read
im entombed as i grieved
ive been groomed to believe
im consumed by my greed
call it avarice
call me Lex
i dont respond to threats
im bold with my life and i hold no regrets
im tryna be the best
at being myself so bet i aint stressed
ive been blessed by the good
cursed by the bad
but i would never change the life that ive had
and i would never change the city that i love
but im tryna change the world so its gotta be done
and ive always walked this path but ive started to run
no im never gonna stop my heart is beating with the drums
im a nerd and a scrub and my core is all grunge
my score is abundant
im hoarding funds its fun
yo im fuckin having a blast
ladies clapping they ass
man shit is happening fast
and the measure of a man is in fact not his cash
but the weight of his heart
and the way his art lasts
or maybe its the way that he inspires his peers
or how he never sleeps though he's been tired for years
but whatever however you measure its never clear
so ill light another blunt and ill drink another beer
im driving high on life and im swerving when i steer
connecting onstage yeah i thrive when you cheer
im alive when im here
and now ive had a taste
its a rush that i love that'll never be replaced
my crush is consuming like any addiction
life is all a game so im playing my position
i said i had faith
i aint saying im a christian
but i can stand the rain cuz it aint a new addition
and friction is familiar its been a bumpy trip
there aint no cakewalks when you've finished something big
and i was just a kid on the roof of my house
who dreamt about finally getting out
i would watch the skiy darken and as the stars shined
i would plot toward a way i could escape these hard times
and i haven't done it yet
never second guess myself
or i might end up like all the rest
their path shaped them but i carved mine
i got a large mind use it to my advantage
i got a battle plan that ill never abandon
and no im not a special case don't panic you can have it
the power is yours...just like captain planet
