    MonumentalLyrics

    From the original lyric sheet for The Art of the Deal. Wording may differ slightly from the released recording.

    [Verse 1] Heard the whispers, 'Stay grounded, son, fly too close, you melt the wax' Saw the map they handed me, designed to keep you on their tracks Safe parameters, predictable returns, the beige existence drone But the static in my spirit hummed a frequency unknown Why sculpt a pebble perfectly when mountains wait unclaimed? Small minds build picket fences, got cathedrals in my frame Forest Hills a faded echo, playground where the basics learned Manhattan shimmered, diamond hard, a lesson to be earned That 'good enough's' a poison, sipped slow 'til ambition dies Gotta chase the phantom limb of greatness reachin' for the skies Let 'em calculate the margins, count the cost of every dare I'm busy terraforming landscapes outta oxygen and prayer. [Chorus] Nah, your ceiling ain't my limit, just a floor I'm steppin' through Monumental Mindset, paint the whole damn sky my hue. [Verse 2] Controlled neurosis ain't disorder, it's the engine fine-tuned, tight Filtering the background noise, focusing the internal light On the singular objective, scale beyond their comprehend While they hedge their little bets, I'm 'bout to cop the whole damn land Scared money makes scared choices, breeds a caution kills the nerve Watch 'em flinch at shadows cast by futures they don't yet deserve This ain't arrogance you're hearin', it's the physics of belief Manifesting marble hallways outta hope and grinding teeth Let 'em analyze the market trends, the dips, the peaks, the fall My trajectory's ballistic, built to supersede it all This ain't adding stories, partner, this is altering the view Changin' atmospheric pressure just by thinkin' somethin' new. [Chorus] Nah, your ceiling ain't my limit, just a floor I'm steppin' through Monumental Mindset, paint the whole damn sky my hue. [Bridge] They mistake the silence for inaction, careful contemplation's pause Really, just recalibrating how to rewrite nature's laws Buildin' taller than the doubt they harbor deep inside their core Planting flags on peaks they swore were myths and folklore... nothing more. [Outro] Nah, your ceiling ain't my limit... step right through... Paint the sky my hue... Monumental... Yeah... Mindset...
