Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
I'm not finished yet
I want to do something crazy at the end
Maybe I'll just talk Kanye/Cole style so...
*Ahem*
Thank you for tuning in
It's been a crazy workload but I got it done in a very short time and I'm proud of myself for that
Also, as I look at the madness of this world right now I want to remind you, the sun will shine again
There's gonna be bad days and there's gonna be good days
But in the end love will always be the dominant force and the element that will help us heal and evolve
And before the show's over, I've got a couple more words to say
Goes like this
Spread the word 'cause he's returned but ninety times as great
Rome wasn't built in a day
I'm not afraid but please keep prayers up
Crows still circling the iron-gray sky
I've got a gladiator's might
I'm fly like a fine aviator
I might show all my plans later
Oh, time's up
It's the final countdown to the stars
North Europe's finest like downing white wine
Why settle for clay when you can just strive for silver, gold, hell, platinum
Double that, diamond
So bold, I'm ready to die for the cause
Known to go DiCaprio when I flow
Most of all, I've got real soul and it ain't for sale
No, no, no
I'm solo 'cause of the desire
For the obsession to go high like doves
To escape from the depths of my bygone depression and hellfire
My psyche might not slow down until I've bridged all these worlds for all time
Screw walls, I invite every tribe, every style
We've all got pearls, fuck the swines
This is my musical manifesto to y'all creative types
Time to unify
Snap, we've got the power, action, fire
Can you feel the love tonight, Elton John
I'm the next one in line in the queue of the greats
I care about art to spark fire
To shake the spine
To make being benign hot
I write for the mind
And to inspire
Salutations to the inventors
The visionaries
The disruptors
The geniuses
The passionates
Both present and gone
We will carry your legacy
Long live creativity
Long live desire
Long live free expression
And most of all, long live empathy
