So Amazing from Self-Titled by j. De Hoyos

a boy. a teen. a kid with big dreams.
coy. alone. separated from the scene.
shot down, picked on, picked last for the team
in the past it would seem so drastic and mean
a nerd. a geek. socially unacceptable.
no self-esteem. he’s so easily susceptible
outcast. a freak. misunderstood and not perceptible
he steppin up and steppin through, preppin to step and wreck on fools
with nothing left to lose but an entire life to gain
constantly bend the rules assuming that his life’s a game
like press R2 to make sure crime will pay
for all the times he stood aside and pushed his pride away
Innocents? yeah he’s got the power to save them
Miscreants? yeah he’s got the courage to face them
Responsibility is the ultimate motivation
it’s crazy it's made him famous, they praise him and they’re all claiming

He’s so amazing
---------------
So amazing
I caress celestial eyelids, my footprints can been found at every scene of excitement

So amazing
I’m the best at what I do
I don’t have to prove what is clearly right in front of you

So amazing
and as my fingers pull these wires
and my body’s flying higher
all the people stay inspired

they say he's
so amazing
so amazing
so amazing

i mangle these words when i speak
i tangle these webs when i weave
i’ll swing past and take hold
of your hand and hang on
and spin silk all over these streets
this is my city
and yall are getting shifty, traditions are looking messy
and i’m skeptical of critics who criticize the progression
unable to navigate the labyrinth of shadows placed
on all manners of your escape, all the habits that you embrace
and let’s face it; these bruises
the red and blue abuses
that fade into the fuschia are feeling futile and fruitless
but i get right back at it; matter of fact i’m an addict
i’m smashing with all the gamma and radioactive arachnids
i’m gobbling up all the goblins and battling all the bad men
i’m clobbering all the cowls of cowards and cackling madmen
catchin em red-handed, enacting their operations
no longer complacent after their faced with my altercation

i’m so amazing

bug bites devour the flesh but I will overcome
sunlight rejuvenates breath but night is so much fun
tongue-tied, confused and speechless ‘bout why I chose to run
lost sight to my hubris and now I owe-him-one

I've dwelled underground and soared above skyscrapers
I've sailed across the skies, been on the cover of newspapers
I've intervened in situations in support of strangers
I've attempted to demolish all injustice for my neighbors

I've role-played the savior

long enough to promise you that I am forever willing to save ya

I've lost far too much, I've sacrificed it all

To not reach out and catch you as I watch you fall

I'm suffocating
the air up here is just so thin
anxieties boil within
is this the end? This might be the end
I don’t know if I can ever put the symbol on again

I’m suffocating
These rooftops gave me a new perspective from which I can see
All the grime and all of the beauty
Its getting so hard to breathe, i finally see
When you’re this high you've got to be so amazing
