A French expression meaning one's purpose for being. This song states, restates, and overstates my love for the artform.
lyrics
It's back to basics clutching and touching bases,
And coming at such a rate it's obvious something great is
Approaching the horizon so why does it look so far away and
The day that we try to chase will the journey be worth the taking?
You'll never know till you crack and then stahrt packing
Having to make it happen and actually taking action
It's not the type of thing that you want to leave in its wrapping
So you'd be decreasing value by keeping it in the package
I'll turn a blunt into thirty-two bars past
Ask anyone I know this wordy dude talks fast
I only tend to roll with the worthy who walk paths that
Not a lot of chose I surely do cross that
I'll greet you with a "Hello." when stepping into my level
Until then, yo, we can settle on different instrumentals
Swinging a different pencil with different types of credentials
eventually quintessential potential's the only central, see?
You'll see me say on some "Pardon my French, but"
You know hip-hop is my raison d'etra
I'm passed tempted to make an attempt to
Put all I got in this wager or bet 'cause
I had that feeling whenever we met, yup
You know hip-hop is my raison d'etra
You know hip-hop is my raison d'etra
The reason that I get up, breath, and just wanna be
I'm turning up the beat and releasing the dopamine
Write, record, repeat with the people that's close to me
And make a living off your dream is the way it's supposed to be
And maybe I'm just getting a bit ahead of myself
But turning to alternatives just to better myself;
Playing safe it ain't the way that I would bet on myself
I might as well put the quill on the head of my shelf
But this ink keeps dropping and walking across the parchment
I'm darkening all the parts of it that I wanted to mark
A medium of art that I started to take apart
Now we darting along the arc of a charge that we gave a spark [to]
And now that slight burning is something you might turn in-
To spending your nights learning not yearning for bright currency
Sending a live current see something inside stirring
And currently I'm earning my turn in this life we're in
And I'll admit it it may get a little hectic
A little complex when you're testing the business ethics
I want my physicals with professional pressing
But first I got to drop my debut album that's what this is
And I feel that this is the reason for my existence
I'm hoping I can open up your mind and go the distance
You can get this depending on your persistence
I told you then before on pen and sword and sure I meant it
See I just pick up the pieces from where I left off
I press Pause move like a blue hedgehog
It's been odd and arbitrary with no set bar
But I digress I guess I'll just try to get far
In life with it I get on the mic spit it
In somewhere I might visit or stage with the lights dimming
I try and I might finish but I should just write, innit?
I love to combine sentences rhyming and I'm ending at

It's freaking phenomenal, that's why. I listen to Omniverse every single day several times but that's no0t to say there aren't some fantastic rivals to that song such as Broken Symmetry, Defiant, Spectacle,5th, .8, Frame of Reference, Beachfront & Interdimensional Council of Greys icarusignite

I've got Metaphor Swordman on lock but there are some rad tracks here such as Flower Girl, Prison Planet, Dopamine Notes, .7, Snowflakes & Flowsnakes. Lyrically eschelons above the rest. icarusignite
