Lightning Strikes Twice

from The Reverie by Juice Lee

lyrics

I don’t really got an excuse as to why I stopped but on the flip I got questions to why it hasn’t stopped its pulling me at night saying you’ll never be right until you go and write until you touch that mic until you give it all until your boys on the other side read what you scrawled this is what I would call maybe a second chance to get this music thing right and maybe just expand to something better than being a veteran saying my album gon drop and make me cheddar man everyone’s saying that I’m more amazed if you pay anything to hear me rap cuz while these bars are a blessing they’re also kinda cursed cuz what I say is ignored if it ain’t in a verse I think its so perverse that I’m my fathers son fighting addiction and chasing a high that never comes this what I’ve become doing impossible things and working toward becoming unstoppable its prolly illogical given how much I have failed and that I keep just spitting giving a million percent in every single written and this is why I’m trippin are these dudes really more talented than JUI? Before I’m done I’ll give you something that you can’t deny.

This more than just my plight
Feel like this our fight
and if you with me we get this lightning to strike twice

I’m 13 again wrapped up in instrumentals and not on fitting in I’m chewing on the pen trying to figure out exactly how to pull em in and even back then I had a lot of doubt that’s amplified by everyone even my mama’s mouth the world was on a route told me to throw in the towel cuz this a losing bout people ain’t listening to the stuff that you tryin to spout that’s when it all clicked somehow I couldn’t quit hearing the current of voices that’s tellin me to spit in spite of every set back and every dropped pass these verse are a sledgehammer to break the ceiling glass I’ll make these feelings last into my next life and leave this all on the stage and underneath the lights I’m trying to reach a height nobody’s ever seen my life script ain’t done this is the perfect scene when I go touch the mic this what I recite not as a dying wish but as my only wish is that you realize your dream and utilize your gifts and never let it go no matter who you show don’t care how many will try to stop you or tell you no cuz you were born for this you know you’re life path you know whats deep in your heart so put it in your grasp
