Dictators of Diction coming hard with it just so you know
Spreading experience strength and hope with this recovery flow
Proud of this shit, not keeping it on the low
These rhymes keep building up in my head, Im gonna blow
104 days strong as I sit here and rhyme
Picked up a 90 day tag tonight, no more cheating myself outta time
Don’t like the attention, don’t want to be praised
Living different today, the bar has been raised
Not sure why I wasn’t counting my time there in PAR
Without that place, I never would have made it this far
It dawned on me tonight, every 24 is a fight
Its quite an accomplishment to go to bed clean every night
Amazing how the switch has been flipped like a light
Comfortable in my own skin, I just might
Be realizing what people have been seeing all along
Is it really possible for me to write a song
That addicts can jam out to, turn up the volume
Have some bass behind these words, feel like a sonic boom
Somebodys gotta like this stuff, I would assume
But I digress, let me resume
The last three plus months have been quite a journey
The road I was going down, would have been lucky to be in jail in need of an attorney
That path I was on, would have ended covered up on a gurney
Cant put my finger on the exact moment of change
Decided to live my life, clean it up, rearrange
At first I was unsure of myself, feeling strange
Roller coaster, up and down, New York Stock Exchange
Had to get to know myself again, like me and Dan had been estranged
Feel like I don’t even know that other dude, he was deranged
Wandering around lost in my own country, foreign exchanged
Found a map to guide me, its called the Blue Book
Unsure a better way is possible, give it a look
The first chapter for me was all that it took
Rocked my world, earthquake, I was shook
Felt like I was reading a biography of my life
My sponsors in charge now, Ill be the deputy, Barney Fife
On a constant quest, a journey to find my true purpose
Overwhelmed with joy, happiness, I have a surplus
Cant remember the last time I even made a fuss
Not living so fast, surely no need to rush
Welcoming the compliments, surely no need to blush
Accepting the Blessing, really living the dream
Overflowing with swagg, no problem with self esteem
