lyrics

-Verse-

Built specifically unique, I ain't ego tripping
Keep my thoughts sobered up, I ain't liquor sipping
My views are different, from my initial entrance
You feel the spirit change when I speak a sentence
A worthy mentor i can feel your burn
The way people turn their back, should cause concern
Do your eyes realize what they witness?
Selling our souls to increase business
Breaking up happy homes chasing bitches
Your daughter wished you'd stay but she's out of wishes
He'd do it over better but he's out of years
Your wife no longer fights cuz she's out of tears
See Citizen for who I am, that's my pleasure
My family and loved ones, that's my treasure
Think again, before you meet your countermeasure
Speaking heavy for the world but they ditch the effort

-Hook-The Empress-

Miles to go, time marches on, it will not wait on you
Miles to go, life's on the line, so what you gonna do
Miles to go, failures not an option, we've got work to do
Miles to go, dreams are real, make yourself the truth

-Verse-

Mind corrupt, it once was pure
Activities are that of a paramour
I let her soar, she let me fall
Our bomb explode, still don't know the cause
Operate on fumes, I'm tired as shit
I wanna stop, I plead to quit
But I lead this shit, so they look to me
You can't leave fiends strung, they depend on it
Touch of life, sting of death
Remove the love, then there's nothing left
Lost my heart, wield a vacant chest
Born again, no eternal rest

-Hook-The Empress-

Miles to go, time marches on, it will not wait on you
Miles to go, life's on the line, so what you gonna do
Miles to go, failures not an option, we've got work to do
Miles to go, dreams are real, make yourself the truth

Work, work, work, always on the grind
Just to feel like I got piece of mind
Mouths to feed, not enough dollar signs
Wanna place to rest my head where no more drama lies
Taking life back is easier said than done
But I know I'm not the only one
Survive by my heart, my minds a gun
No days off or there is no fun
I back down for no one

Miles to go, time marches on, it will not wait on you
Miles to go, life's on the line, so what you gonna do
Miles to go, failures not an option, we've got work to do
Miles to go, dreams are real, make yourself the truth
