Freestyle: Experiencing Life Offbeat

What you are about to do has already been done
6 days it took to create it and 1 more to set it in stone
A foundation for all that will, but a style all its own
We walk around in grey-flannel suits, mini-vans and white picket fences
Plans made plane by protracted performances, players on a stage set all the same
Dressed without distinction, mimes without words to impress
To express, divulge, fabricate and re-create
The emperors new clothes are not loud enough
Find yourself 2 sizes too big for the space you occupy and grow
Step into an idea that climbs higher than you can see and grow
Style requires substance, the roots on which we build
And freedom betrays form, build that beanstalk as high as it can go
I know Jack...shhhh I dont want them to see
That this, this right here is a new version of me
It’s reworked and remixed, a compilation of this, that and the third
4th Quarter plays, a set of decisions incurred
Seconds on the clock, do you play or take a knee
The distinction between the two is the How in the Who you were meant to be
