"The Bridge"
  by 2Smoove



I’m impatiently patient
waiting on a spaceship
as if I’m holding down SHIFT
‘cause this is my alternative
a one man tournament
and somebody’s gotta lose
part of me gets the applause
while the other gets the BOO’s
since time is mine
I’m going to take it
but takin’ my time is what’s gotten me so impatient
and I don’t wanna RUSH, I cant do it in an HOUR
its BUMPER to BUMPER in the efforts to get higher
-don’t smoke but I do carry a lighter
it just reminds me that at the flick of a switch I can be on fire
but not burnin’-it’s a metaphor in the process of my earnings
some say “its not that important”….. then why does it feel so urgent
maybe ‘cause I have futuristic thoughts of me splurgin’
its nothing wrong with that
‘cause by that time I would’ve earned it
A new chapter had begun and the page I turned it
all of this because I walked over THE BRIDGE of procrastination and burned it…
