Title is simple...this track has 1000 Words in it, lol...went off the old saying "A picture's worth 1000 words". Had this recorded a long time ago and re-recorded it for quality purposes..I'm gonna post up both the video and lyrics (to prove it's 1000 words, lol. If you're actually gonna check it out I typed this up in Microsoft Word 2007) Check it out and get back at me
PS- If you wanna see the picture I used it's on the old version of 1000 Words that'll probably pop up on the right hand side if you view the video on youtube, not just here on the site
Also, this goes over the "Trippin" instrumental by Zion I

Lyrics:
They say every picture’s worth 1000 words, man...
No matter what every one of them has a story behind it
And every feeling that it brings leads to another as your eyes soak in the colors…
And as cliché as it is I’m putting it to the test
So here I go...
1000 words.. Nothin’ more.. Nothin less..
Uh…He fades into the dark
Lookin out at something brighter, anxious for a start
Holdin onto to everything, he’s prayin in his heart
That he can catch the break that could be makin him a star
Tired of the games that have him playin different cards
He’d rather play on radios, get racin up the charts!
Til he becomes the standard like he’s raisin’ up the bars
Call him Ace the Prophet, he’s a savior to the Gods!
He sees it all flash right back into his teens
An authentic Melo jersey, saggin baggy jeans
With them Birdman Lugz, just imagining the cream
And his reactions to the green while he’s cashin’ in his dream
Never lookin past it but he keeps it on the low
It’s his little secret, ain’t no reason they should know
Cuz he writes it for himself and he doesn’t wanna share it
It’s personal as hell and he feels he’d get embarrassed--
But still he goes on til he feels the flow’s gone
A young’n with ambition, man, the feeling’s so strong!
Writin down the shit he’s been concealing so long
Reachin’ for the sky til the ceiling’s all gone!
Now flash forward, present day, scratchin at the surface
Of his diamond in the rough, it’s too passionate and perfect
To be passin’ up, you can see it glarin’ in his eyes
With the red carpet rollin’ anywhere that he arrives
Where the girls’ lookin’ flashy as they try to drag him in
He keeps a heavy heart so he don’t even crack a grin
He’s just pressin’ forward, ain’t no need for backin’ in
Forgettin every flake, see if they’ll see his ass again
They’re all he’s been accustomed to, friends, he only trusts a few
Try to ask him what to do, he ain’t got a fuckin clue
…And he just doesn’t care
He ain’t about to search for it if there ain’t nothin’ there--
He sees it all is faded now that everyone’s impaired
He finally can focus so he’s never unaware, man!
Uh, and so he’s changing up his views
Startin to make sense of all the days he was confused
Gathering the wisdom and ways it wasn’t used
Makin’ different moves, ain’t no way he’s gonna lose!
And maybe he’s a fool, but still he’s gotta try
Honesty is critical when all of it’s a lie
Statements that he’s livin through, all up in the sky
Swearin it’s the answer but he’s gotta wonder why, man
Why?
Gotta figure out where everything stems from, man…
Take it back a couple years, putting back a couple beers
Lookin at his baby girl pushin’ back another tear
Uh…She’s wonderin’ why there’s nothin’ clear
Starin’ at reflections in the shadow of another’s mirror
Wondering if love is really what she should be living for
He’s the only one she’s ever had this kind of feeling for--
But really though, every single bit of this has got her actin silly so
She’s behind his back with shit, like “Will he know
That every single night that I’m sleepin with this knife?
The blade is creepin’ closer to the reason for my life
And pain is just a slit away, watch it all come gushin’ out
Let me show him I’m for real, then he’ll shut his fuckin mouth!
Yeah! That’ll show him his mistakes
Put the blade to my skin, how much longer can it take?
I’ll never learn, let it burn! Let this shit incinerate!
It all was just too perfect though, how’d I let it get away?”
Damn…and maybe it’s too painful
To understand everything she’s seein’ from her angle
So he lets her know that he’s there to consolidate
He’s the reason for it all but he can take it all away
But she was havin’ none of it, swore she’d never love again
And tried to commit suicide right in front of him
Wait, what? Come again? He stood still
Understanding powers of words could kill
Wasn’t quite sure if that’s how he should feel
But illusions of confusion felt unusually real
Never woulda guessed he could apply this kinda stress
To someone who was lookin for a life that’s to be blessed
And if she couldn’t find it that’s a life that’s put to rest
Almost a decision she was dying to regret
Lookin’ to the sky for someone higher to perfect
Everything and say she’s worth every diamond on her neck
Cuz he couldn’t do it though he tried to protect
This fragile girl from the truth and it’s why she’s a wreck
So she covered up her face to hide the hatred in her eyes
As she tried to suffocate herself but thankfully survived
Maybe that’s the day that his angel realized
That it should do all it can to be keepin’ him alive
And bless him with a gift that makes it easier to write
The fire of emotion, you can see it in eyes!
You can hear it in his voice, even feel it in his touch
Puts his heart on the track when being real isn’t enough
And when he’s feelin’ lonely he gets thinkin’ of the moment
How he overcame the pain and how the fuckin blade’s an omen
Of everything he’s ever fought, everyone he said can rot
Middle fingers up to anyone who said he better not!
Now every head’ll rock to every word he said he’s got
One fuckin thousand of ‘em kickin’ in to set it off
Yeah…But he’ll lay to rest with these
He’s not the best there’s ever been, he’s the best there’ll ever be
He’s the Prophet!
