It starts with a rhyme, it starts in my mind
I send it to the paper, then put it on the line
The messenger's my pen, the message is my life
I'm hoping that the message and your heart realign and you realize
That I'm just spitting, I ain't being wise
I'm just being I, being free up on this beat and I can see an eye
I gotta be up on this beat for just a peace of mind
Looking for a decent rhyme, really I just need some time
But time waits for no man, I know that
I know if I don't keep up with the program, I'm old hat
And so I'm tryna speak up
I'm tryna travel from my zone into
Your speaker on my own fam, alone man
But still I'm managing
Ain't standing still, I ain't a mannequin
Ain't standing still until I'm travelling
So far that they won't see me again
But for the moment, it's just me and my pen
It's me and my pen
It's me and my pen
I'm writing what I see so I can see it again, okay, ay
And I don't even know what I'ma write now, right now
I'm just hoping it will take me away, ay
Take me away, ay
I'm hoping it will take me away, ay
Cause when I don't know what to say
I find me a page and then it's me and my pen
It's just me and my pen
I tried to tell them what I meant, they didn't get it
I took a pen and started scribbling my message
Just perfecting how I said it, writing down what I regretted
Tryna speak of all the pain and all the blessing
In the hope that it connected, I was praying they would listen
But in reality, a lot of people didn't
Still I was busy working out my vision
Tryna give them something different
And get them feeling how I'm feeling
Cause even if you've never been in my position, man
I'm hoping you relate to it
The reason why I make music, I escape through it
I hate losing, that's something I won't make do with
And I could never talk of something that I ain't doing
Man, it's just me and my pen, it's leaking again
I'm writing what I'm speaking so it's easier when
I leave it with them, can't even pretend
That I don't need it, cause I need to
Let it breathe until I meet with my yen
So it's just me and my pen
It's me and my pen
I'm writing what I see so I can see it again, okay, ay
And I don't even know what I'ma write now, right now
I'm just hoping it will take me away, ay
Take me away, ay
I'm hoping it will take me away, ay
Cause when I don't know what to say
I find me a page and then it's me and my pen
It's just me and my pen
A skinny little nine-year-old, trying to find a role
Letting my mind evolve, scribbling, writing rhymes when I got home
Though I wasn't alone, just me and my pen
In the zone, friend, not a foe
What I was writing, I was setting in stone
Full of fear but I was letting it go
And I'm telling you so you understand me
Like you're part of the family
Hand on my heart, heart on my sleeve, you can't really brand me
I write and remember the nights in the 90s Decembers
A quiet pretender just lighting a fire with no sign of dying
Like Ember with some trying events, but we got through them
My pen influenced by everything I was doing
And so you see, nothing that you don't believe
You just know it's me
I'm writing it all, the highs and the times that I fall
Writing like I'm at school, I'm finally finding I'm cool
With the person the pen paints a picture of
The pen paved the way, put me in a place that I wasn't thinking of
Cause when it's in the pen, it'
S independent of my preconceived perceptions
I just put it in a sentence and forget it
Then remember when I read it that I meant it
I give my pen all of the credit
I'm hoping it will take me away, ay
Take me away, ay
I'm hoping it will take me away, ay
It's me and my pen
I'm writing what I see so I can see it again, okay, ay
I'm hoping it will take me away, ay
Take me away, ay
I'm hoping it will take me away, ay
Cause when I don't know what to say
I find me a page and then it's me and my pen
Sometimes I just write
I write what I see
The things on my mind
My mind flying like a serine
