N-Sayne - Jumping Through Hoops Lyrics

The passion I protrude through this paper
Makes me believe that hip hop still is my savior
Alone in the dark scribbling words on a pad
Took me further than any trip I ever had with my dad
My mind can move measurements of matter as I channel
Raw energy, sculpting visions I scribe on this panel
Like a spray of an aerosol as an artist graphs a wall
Or the presence on a stage as you can hear the crowd roar
That applause will give you a rush, more than any addictions
It keeps me hear it feeds my soul, removes affliction
Witness my mind as it redefines what you may have predicted
And shine light on these eyes that were blinded by a vision
That the media sold the riddle was solved the devil engulfed
Regurgitated into trash that we digest for some hope
The fact that you're oblivious just proves how little you know
Open that part of your brain you thought you had but never were told

Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops
Pushing limits I've got something to prove
Ducking weaving see me out here making moves
I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops
Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops
Pushing limits I've got something to prove
Ducking weaving see me out here making moves
I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops

It's taken a while to get up and smile lately
Been through a bit starting to feel crazy
I switched the tables though feeling less lazy
My identity was tied to my lady
If there were things I didn't do I'll never regret it
And all the bad things I done I'll never forget it
I let my ego get the best of me forgot my therapy
But here it is I'm the only one who can better me
We are masters of ourselves and masters of our own time
Are we ever free only inside our own minds
So we tend to live there any moment we can
And when we get a win we do a victory dance
There's no limit to plans just build it with your hands
Make something out of nothing to prove to the man
Once again that music is all you've ever been about
Ask me again if I'm still rapping when you seeing me out

Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops?
Pushing limits I've got something to prove
Ducking weaving see me out here making moves
I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops
Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops?
Pushing limits I've got something to prove
Ducking weaving see me out here making moves
I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops

I see the way you stare at me
Eyes full of conviction but my tattoos are my therapy
This pen un-buries me
With your hearts full of judgement just know you're not scaring me
I'm more than my tattoos and more than my name
I am more than just that other member of N-Sayne
I am more than what the media portrays me as
I am more than half white and more than half black
I am more than what I say and more than what I do
I am more than me and more than my crew
I am more than the feet that fill my big boots
I am more like a larger version of you
But we're diverting the truth full of a world of lies and deception,
And converting the youth into crime no exceptions,
And we cover the deception up with more lies
And show the world that no one really cares when we die

Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops?
Pushing limits I've got something to prove
Ducking weaving see me out here making moves
I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops
Can't you see me out here jumping through hoops?
Pushing limits I've got something to prove
Ducking weaving see me out here making moves
I got nothing to lose that's why I'm jumping through hoops
