Ace Cowboy
Aceyalone Lyrics

Break it down like this!
Introducing the song and urging the listeners to listen closely

Break it down down like this!
Repeating the previous line with emphasis

Like this!
Repeating the previous lines with emphasis and providing an indication of the song's style

Space cowboy..
Introducing the character of the 'space cowboy'

Ace cowboy..
Referring to the main character as 'Ace cowboy'

Space cowboy, the real McCoy
The 'space cowboy' is the genuine article

Electrical all over like a Super Nova astroid
The 'space cowboy' is electric and dazzling like a supernova

Crash it back down to Earth
The 'space cowboy' must eventually return to reality

With a six shooter computer eyes and a beautiful view of this world
The 'space cowboy' is equipped with technology and can see the beauty in the world

Hold on tight when you, take your flight and sooner or later
The 'space cowboy' advises to hold on tight and enjoy the ride

You'll have to land at Iron Horse
The journey will eventually come to an end

Gravity takes it's course and of course, the weight of the matter
Gravity will naturally bring the 'space cowboy' back down to Earth and reality

Overrides the data, come back we need you in the battle
Despite the allure of escapism, the 'space cowboy' must come back and face the challenges of the real world

[The Soul of John Black-Singing]
Introducing a new section of the song featuring vocals by The Soul of John Black

As through the night you go from style to stlye
The listener goes through a range of emotions and experiences

So much room when you're circling the moon
The experience of escapism provides a sense of freedom and space

And don't wanna come back down, trapped and doom
The fear of coming back down to reality and feeling trapped

I look into your eyes and wonder where you are
The listener is lost in their own thoughts

Eyes wide shut from the inside
The listener is blinded by their own thoughts and experiences

Only you know the ride only, you know the high
The listener is the only one who truly knows their own experiences

But once again you're lost inside your head and never com-ing home
The fear of being lost in one's own thoughts and never returning to reality

Trapped up in your thoughts, caught up in the web
The listener is trapped in their own mind

Hiding in your head amongst the living dead..
The listener feels disconnected from the world

('Break it down like this!')Space cowboy..
Introducing the 'space cowboy' once again with emphasis

The higher I get, the lower I am
Escapism brings temporary relief but ultimately leads to a lower emotional state

The struggle is my strength life in my own hand
Overcoming struggles gives one strength and control over their own life

Divided by the fate times the pleasure plus the pain
Life is a mixture of fate, pleasure, and pain

Minus the love and hate, nothing to gain!
Without love and hate, life feels empty and meaningless

I just want to live it out, figure it out, clean this house, be about
The desire to live life to the fullest and make it meaningful

Something real that got's some meaning to it
The search for authenticity and purpose

How you going see me through it? Space cowboy..
Asking the 'space cowboy' for guidance through the struggles of life

Com-in home
The desire to return to reality

Space cowboy, come on back
Urging the 'space cowboy' to return to reality

[The Soul of John Black-Singing] {Aceyalone}
Bringing back the vocals of The Soul of John Black and acknowledging Aceyalone again

Hang on space cowboy,{Hang on} hang on space cowboy {Hang on}
Urging the 'space cowboy' to hold on and not give in to escapism

Can't you hear me calling you? ('Break it down like this!')
Pleading with the 'space cowboy' to come back to reality

I'm coming out to arrest you, yeah
Taking control of one's own life and arresting escapism

I take ten paces, spaces desolate
The journey back to reality can feel lonely and long

Give me my piece of mind, you take the rest of it
Taking control of one's own thoughts and emotions

I take no less of it, no more of it I'm sure of it
Confidently taking control and staying balanced

I can't lose, I'mma beats the odds, I'm gonna try to beat the Gods
Confidently taking control of life and striving for greatness

I'm gonna use this Lighting Rod, I'm gonna get down on my job
Harnessing one's own power and using it to succeed

I'mma landing this ship and walk, then we could sit and talk
Successfully returning to reality and being able to reflect on the journey

Or make it through this darkness ('Break it down down break it down like this!')
Overcoming the difficulties and challenges of life

Oh once again you're stuck inside your head and never coming home ('Break it down like this!')
The fear of being lost in one's own thoughts and never returning to reality, repeated once more

Trapped in your thoughts, caught up in your head
Repeating the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind

Caught up in the web
Feeling trapped and disconnected from the world

('No, no, no, no, nooo')
Expressing frustration and fear

He'll be back
The 'space cowboy' will eventually return to reality

Hang on space cowboy
Urging the 'space cowboy' to hold on and not give in to escapism

Can't you hear me calling you, yeah? ('Break it down like this!')
Pleading with the 'space cowboy' to come back to reality

I'm coming out to arrest you, yeah ('Break it down like this!')
Taking control of one's own life and arresting escapism

Ohhh hang on space cowboy
Urging the 'space cowboy' to hold on

{Aceyalone: Trapped up in your thoughts, caught up in the web Hiding your head amongst the living dead}
Repeating the feeling of being trapped in one's own mind and disconnected from the world

{Space cowboy}
Referring to the 'space cowboy' once again

I'm coming out {Hang on}to ? rest of you, yeah
Taking control of one's own life and arresting escapism, repeated with a slight variation

{Hang on}
Reiterating to hold on and not give in to escapism

('Like,like, like this!') Hang on space cowboy
Repeating once again that the 'space cowboy' should hold on

{Hang on}('Break it down!')Hang on
Reiterating to hold on with emphasis

('Down like this!'){'Break it down like this!'}
Repeating the phrases with emphasis and changing it slightly each time

Urging the 'space cowboy' to hold on and not give in to escapism, with emphasis and a variation
