No Doubt

 

There’s not a doubt in my mind that I can do the impossible

So if I do without trying it’s not even an obstacle

I break down what’s complex into the simplest patterns

So every step connects like the grid of Manhattan

I know exactly where I’m going and how to get there

I know exactly where I’m growing and where I’m not aware

Not to say I know it all but I’m better than worse

In order to know my role I know I better rehearse

I buckle down not fuck around until the last moment

It’s about to go down I tell my mind, I must own it

If something happens to happen and I ain’t prepared

There’s not a chink in my instinct, I laugh at the fear

I bathe in it literally take a bath in the fear

I tell it to do its worst til’ I reverse what it bears

With no fear within is how I came in

Wasn’t scared when it was as bad as it’s been

 

no doubt
