Behold
Behold my heralded new beginning
When I've been sinning instead of winning
Afraid of my own shadow
It was some kind of fad though
So take a seat and hear my yarn
It has enough gas to burn down the barn
I'm done being a doormat
I'm tired of this fat
And my offset eyes
Won't be my demise
Shy guys get left behind
Rewind, because that won't be how I'm defined
I've got a talent for verse
And I don't even have to rehearse
Because I'm filled with thirst
And ready to burst
Don't you dare turn away
Today this monster is ready to slay
Breaking free of the chains
And persistent pains
My lanes are in the sky
Where I'm ready to spread my wings and fly
Because the road is rocky
And I'm feeling cocky
I build bridges with wisdom and wit
Though I must admit
I've got a long way to go
Before I'm truly ready to flow
Give me a chance
I'll offer my hand for this dance
Behold for this is me
I've escaped the shadows to at last be free
