The Individualist



  Gather 'round children, I got a tale to tell ya



  There was a time when I couldn't bust a rhyme

  Had yet to hit my prime

  'Cause my mind was such a young mind

  And first you got to unwind

  The mystery of your soul, it's like a black hole

  The gravity is too thick

  You got to learn to lighten up a bit

  It's such a frightening thing to realize

  Every time you close your eyes

  You been cut down to size

  'Cause you're stuck with yourself

  Ain't nobody else to compare yourself to

  It's just you

  And then you ask yourself, "What's it all about?"

  So you try to figure it out

  And that's when you'll be tempted to believe foolish things

  And deceive yourself by lettin' someone else

  Do your thinkin' for you

  When they haven't got a clue

  But you can't relive the hype, don't ya see?

  'Cause I got a special answer meant just for me

  Somewhere in my immediate vicinity



  And if there's time enough to get it

  Then in time I'm gonna get it

  'Cause I am the Individualist



  Check my references

  Wherever you are now you know I been there, done that

  Don't need to sling the scat 'cause my resume' is too fat

  Change my name to some funky fresh dingbat

  Like "the artist formerly known as TR-i"

  I got to laugh when they try to figure out what it's all about

  And they doubt that I'm so devout

  But it's something I can do without

  I got to know why I wanna know what I wanna know

  Why do I go where the others won't go?

  My eye is on the prize that's in disguise

  That you can only theorize, but I can utilize

  To rise above the lies about reality

  'Cause you can't relive the hype don't ya see?

  'Cause I got a special answer meant just for me

  Somewhere in my immediate vicinity



  And if there's time enough to find it

  Then in time I'm gonna find it

  'Cause I am the Individualist



  Here comes the Individualist

  Yes I am, the Individualist
