Cook

I got the recipe
and I�m gonna make it
don�t feed my head with doubt
no reasons to fake this
I�m gonna try harder
and I�m gonna be better
if not for me
then for us
I�ve seen the bottom
and I�ve seen the top
if this life�s a competition
then so be it
running for the gold
so let me cook

damn right I�m hungry
quite starved in fact
I�m done with being looked down on
I�m done with this superiority crap
ready for a new flavor
when I�m baking
I want to see it in their faces
that look as if I�m a mad man
or a man possessed
lots of people want lots of things
I only want love and happiness
that soul food
but to get there I need to thrive
so let me cook

I�ve been burnt to the floor
I screamed -
�I CaN�t TaKe ThIs Shit AnYmOrE!�
the hurt lays like a spiders nest
burrowed deep inside my chest
but no more
if i fail
well, it wouldn�t be the first time
but unlike then
I finally have the tools and knowledge
no time to second guess
just need support
that feeling only you can give
and I know it might be scary
but time is ticking
and I don�t want to waste it
so let me cook
