lyrics

Sky's the limit now there’s limited sky
I diminish a million minions living a lie
There’s a club mile high rubbing my right thigh
But my heads left wing only reach cloud nine
Boots to my square route freedom is blind
Pride firm on the ground as I'm seeking the signs
Now Mark B and scythe saw my cypher is primed
To the power of the unknown number one must die
The tears of a beast from my recent bereavement
Can bear new teeth and leap at achievements
And I die a little every day how indecent
I might let my mind take five and achieve sense
So in defence my goal's a sentence
Net on a catchphrase words of repentance
Top of the ladder’s a matter of two cents
I shoot down dreams aim low with a vengeance

Down when La Mancha calls
I swear to you this I will not leave you
Down when La Mancha calls
I swear to you this I will not leave you

My countenance is woeful
And so full of soul for my ghost world
Where spectres see windmills and go tilt
To brag that their flag's on a molehill
Captain courageous acting all major with no deal
Illusion so real I can feel when it touches
And build my bravado to yield to it's clutches
The lies I subscribe to to hide all my blushes
It's more than a crutch it's the reason I love this
The fuckwits can't see my adventures
Too stuck up pretentious and lost in the love of their henchman
I'm out slaying dragons every day pay attention
Since you won't believe this it's needless to mention
As my ascension slowly turns freefall
And all that I've captured now feels so see through
I'm back with a vengeance parting the sea shore
I rule in La Mancha but will not leave you

Down when La Mancha calls
I swear to you this I will not leave you
Down when La Mancha calls
I swear to you this I will not leave you

Sepia stills of you and I
Keep running through my mind
Sepia stills of you and I
Keep running through my mind

I rep mild mild west not repping for the fields but
You're not gonna feel like dolla dolla bills I
Got a lotta skill and a little dedication
I think for my pennies no menace to meditation
No secrets no battle
There’s bones in my closet but no death rattle
I promise I won’t leave you in the shadows
Si mi hermano I leave for my travels down

Down when La Mancha calls
I swear to you this I will not leave you
Down when La Mancha calls
I swear to you this I will not leave you
