It’s the last morning comin’ – yeah, it’s MC Motto But before that, gotta clear my mind like a van Gogh No use callin’ me, askin’ “Can I take a line?” If I speak my truth, I ain't poisonin’ your mind Parents don’t even watch their own kids anymore Is it time to wake up, or just lock another door? Maybe I gotta move, they don’t get what I’m about Folks show up knockin’, I freeze up with doubt Where do I file my claws, when the world feels sick? And the salesman’s pitch – it still hides the real trick I don’t even know where I’m meant to aim Kids drive me mad, this life ain't no game Dreamin’ of a place without fists in the night Where no one's stealin' from someone else's rights Where the fam could sleep without late-night fears No knocks on the door, no whispers in ears No prank calls burnin’ deep in my skull But those skeletons in the closet? Yeah, they make me whole They make me strong – they’ll never break me down Those skeletons in the closet? I wear 'em like a crown [Hook – chanted] It’s MC Motto, and my mic still shines Crack a beer, best sixteen bars of your time I spit facts – I ain’t that type to boast But some would stab me quick, treat me like a ghost Drank some heavy – think I feel the pain? They think my ego’s big, like I lost my brain That’s why I spark this haze when the talk gets loud Still the same old Motto, who hates this crowd But I found my peace, let the screws come loose A beat, a blunt, a mic – I cut all truce Light it up again, maybe you’ll finally see You won’t last long if your soul can’t breathe We burn through leave time, too real for your plans No rest for the dreamers, doin’ what we can They blame us loud, but never lend a hand Why should I smile, why should I stand? [Hook – Refrain variation with hums & echo] Skeletons in my closet – yeah, they keep me strong They won’t break me – I been fightin’ too long Skeletons in my closet – la-la-la-laa Creepin' near, knockin’ at the door – la-la-la-laa Skeletons in my closet – they keep me whole I walk with pain, but never lose control – la-la-la-laa
