Balance 03:11
lyrics
(Verse 1) Here to bust the mic and move the crowd with my playlist I say it with some patience maybe wishin' I was famous Don't nobody know it like I know it in the deepest Part of me it's hard for me because my Earth is seedless I heeded to the voice within forgive me it was subtle Ignorin' it was risky my direction it would crumble I want full control I want Frank to make decisions The ego's hard to let go and all my people are cynics, unconvinced There's no change around the corner just more death And anybody dreamin' otherwise I see as hopeless You could call it what you want it, become an alcoholic The fight ain't even worth it so I guess for now I'm stallin I fought for a reason it was good you call it treason It was in another era possibly a different season The weight was too heavy and my shoulder got sore And then I had the nerve to step up and ask for more (Verse 2) I get it, why you justify I can't defend it I'm chargin' CEOs but know that's you as co-defendants I'm hittin' every BODY so I hope you don't MIND My SPeaR hITs through lyrics, results in the divine Movement of collective consciousness, it's just a rhyme But the passion can be felt, even at the end of line Do it to the end of time, effort not for nothing Three grains of sand the hourglass is not bluffin' Runnin' from my destiny but tell me what it's done for me I try to speak my peace the people only makin' fun of me Then fuck me! And everything that I stand for You'll never know the reason that I gave a goddamn for Here's another steak go 'head and watch another episode Genocide to the mind, like body to the Seminole I meditate for hours losin' power through religion My connection to the source is perverted almost missin' (Verse 3) I understand the universe and all it has to offer me I see the way the world works it's obvious it is not for me I ask too many questions, receive too little answers The people just don't get it when I tell 'em cures for cancer My diet on the daily is consistent within nature A body that's deficient can't connect to it's own maker The mind connects the body to the force within us all You should question every leader instead you defend 'em all I'm done, instead I'll find my place on the sun Where I'll watch the world burn in it's attempt to have fun Maybe I exaggerated I should let loose I should just be a consumer third world in a noose Let 'em all hang for the sake of nicer shoes If my earrings ain't shiny cut their hands off too My plan's all screwed but I guess it was designed Man fuck this! I'm goin' out my motherfuckin' mind....

Pen 03:57
lyrics
(Chorus) x 4 Try to be a pen, don't wanna be a sword Try to be a pen sometimes I wanna be a sword (Verse 1) Lost legends in the scripture thrown out the picture Wrote it to remove it like a pincher It's like a puzzle with half the pieces missin' A fraction of the brain in action remain trippin', stumblin' Runnin' outta reasons to accomplish it Runnin' outta prayers to be prayed to the god of it I gotta get my thoughts straight I coulda sworn I had a reason I was here and yet somehow I got strayed I hear the cries, it's unacceptable I feel for them don't believe it's unavengeable It's unrespectable mothafuck election day As far as I'm concerned, forgiveness died yesterday Had to rise up out my meditation Not enough time gotta focus on retaliation Had to put the book down the gat up Enlightenment can wait, for today I finally had 'nuff (Chorus) x 4 (Verse 2) I wrote the truth on a paper intercepted By the wrong hands, promptly did they rip it Had the urge to impale him in permanence Don't ever fuck my message up my meaning grows the worse it gets I see the slavery of now compared to yesterday I wish it was as obvious to us all it'd be a better way On top of that we lost the writings once intended for us Generations now conditioned to believe it bore us So fuck the ink I guarantee it isn't what I need I need the blade to make 'em bleed to end they heart beat Revert to primitive mindstate, for my sake The universe can balance it all, but why wait? It's not the writings for the mind is where it all reside It's not the anger for the right won't hold it all inside Steppin' back to see the picture as a whole The sword is a physical tool, pen, interdimensional (Chorus) x 4

The Most Exciting Time 02:34
lyrics
(Verse 1) It coulda been another time for me & it of been alright for me But me? I see potential in a world that is ripe for me Apocalypse is obvious if you do the math We don't got the resources, plus in a blood bath We killin' people for weapons to kill ourselves Ignorin' innovations based whether or not it sells You call it hell or heaven but really it don't matter What matters is your efforts to build and deserve the latter I'm after what we losin' & usin' what most have lost Maybe it's just a matter of bridges they yet to cross I dream of the apocalypse welcome its possibility Only because I see it providing us with humility Perhaps civility something we really need When it's something worth it really you're willing to even bleed A time of challenges, happiness over damages The question is, will you be ready, or are you vanishing? (Verse 2) So I'll live for the purpose of servin' a greater cause It might not be the most, but certainly safer loss On some worst case, worst way to live life to the fullest At the expense of others who suffer for you to do it A time of individuals claimin' superiority Who cannot understand the unity, you and me You wouldn't be inclined for self-destructive behavior If you only knew your options you'd be your self-savior The most knowledge available since natives were conquered Nearly wiped out and all their knowledge doctored We could self-educate rapidly innovate Why should we allow tuition to ever get in our way The problems get worse yet we still find solutions Yet even those who learn 'em, don't manage to do shit Let's organize and optimize our opportunity And ask what we could do for us and not what I can do for me

The Art of Self-Destruction 04:16
lyrics
(Chorus) x 2 It's a long way up, but the fall feel harder I don't do it out obsession yo I do it cuz I gotta When the stakes get high, do more than get higher Understand your soul bleeds and best believe there is a buyer (Verse 1) If I had more money I would buy more channels And I really like the show where they imprison all the vandals It make me feel safer seein' 'em locked away We need more laws it's why the terrorists got away Change the channel life is hard enough anyway Gotta smile, let me know if you come across any game It's like the water got me calm with no worry Not suspicious even though my doctor drug me in a hurry Commercial break I want this I want that And I don't wanna hear that revolutionaries fought back It wasn't bad I heard they had mad weapons I heard it on the news from a few eye witness Back up and fuck you I love my nation They can tax me all they want as long as I remain safest Who needs to think when they can think it all for me You could take away my rights but not my TV, hunky dorey (Chorus) x 2 (Verse 2) I been workin' all day I need food I want it fast I can't afford much, this is all I got in cash Two burgers, large fries and a pepsi The dollar menu seems to be the only one that gets me It rots in me, the beef steals enzymes Immune no longer cancer shut me down in no time Fight the power but I'm eatin' like a slave It's not my fault I don't like the veggie taste! Wash it down with the fire I lose water Dehydrate, the brain get strained, but hey I gotta! Reality's a bitch I get the itch scratch harder Got no time, I get high, cheat sheet, my soul-starter If my son got A's, his meals was happy Now he only gets roses once a week from his daddy I tried to show some discipline it's hard it's not for me And if I get sick, I'll blame God for how it's goin' (Chorus) x 2 (Verse 3) Our Father who art in heaven are you listening? Read the whole book, missing sheets? Naw that's blasphemy My family has been devout in all its worshiping So why should I believe that there's a reason for it's questioning I spend an hour every week at church, 5 minutes on my knees a night I guess some heathens will never get it right Accepting Christ is all I really gotta do If you try to get deeper then the devil's got in you Read the writings many times never really analyzed for myself Better trust my reverend 'fore I fail He got nice things, so I can have some nice things I would be more Christ-like if it was more exciting Accept Christ even if I'm nothing like him Mourn his death fuck the rest suffering currently dyin' Truth told I can sin guilt-free at my discretion It's easy I just gotta seem sincere at my confession (Chorus) x 2

Beyond Three 03:48
lyrics
I realized a long time ago I'm hidin' for the sake Of stayin' hidden, all opposing thoughts is forbidden The ego that is Frank maybe thinkin' he's afraid Had to rearrange his frame if mind to find a better way Way off, you lookin' for somebody you could pay off Your destiny's a mission every moment is a payoff Your struggles are my struggles, your smiles are my smiles Vibrations of my sound shall resound at your trials I know it sounds obvious but nothing's guaranteed I'll do it all for you so you don't have to carry me Like the litter that you toss I'll proceed to pick it up I always got solutions when you feel like givin' up But sit up, you gotta feed yourself at some point I know that I can cook but only you could fill your own void Your capable, and anything opposing is a blasphemy If anybody tells you otherwise then have 'em ask for me You could see it in the universe You know it and your heart will back me up we did not do it first We only see in three dimensions We think we see it all but we know not of what we missin I got a feeling in my stomach Every time you fall I feel my inner-self redundant I try to reach for every person Although my hands are empty I could swear to you it's workin' I'd be lyin' if I said you're all correct In every form of thought that seems to number infinite The roads are many but there's many roads that dead end Don't follow any light the only right one is from within There is no other means or methods Corruption is apparent many years they have invested It's not a hard road to follow The ego deep inside can make ya efforts seem hollow They try to make us to enslave us While creatin' the illusion their solution is to pay us Dirty silver in our pockets Hang up on the tree for sacrificin' our Christ conscious You could see it in the galaxy The way we treat the Earth is not the way in which it has to be We only see in three dimensions We think we see it all but we know not of what we missin That's it, next beat, I'm over it let's go! But every single aspect I expand on's hard to let go Makin' sure I'm thorough cuz we need clarification Just because YOUR nation wrote it doesn't mean it did not fake shit I'm sayin' ask for more accounts Never know at any moment they could take it all and bounce It's a never ending battle they can tattle in their favor Doesn't matter if ya did or didn't nothing makes you safer Between a rock and a hard place Organize the blind in an attempt to find God's way But that is found in one's experience with one another Understanding our perception of advancement should not suffer I think I could see the light But the tunnel can't contain it come to think of it it's mine Open up, It's contagious it was meant for me to say this But I know I'll say it better that's an art and it is sacred Don't know bout you but I can see it As your mind body and spirit all align you can achieve it We see beyond three dimensions We only saw a portion now we see what we were missin'

I Trust You 02:46
lyrics
(Verse 1) See I could never enter a house and clear its occupants For the purpose of profitin' off resources now not for them Man-made erosion of soil is serious When we needa grow food in some soil with nutrients If I needa grow tomorrow but only grow for today Then I'm selfish, clearly I'm not thinkin of my child's plate If they could save a dollar by not givin' a shit They'd do it with a smile while the press applaud them They'd burn a whole village on the night before And send the Red Cross over with water and first aid support They even go as far as some biological warfare Uncorrupted studies that's pathological aren't there On some let 'em die shit let 'em try it And then, they demonize the natives who try to fight it So that's how life's force is converted to an asset And any hope in law gets lost it's now legal since they passed it (Chorus) x 2 I don't trust 'em, corporate control of human souls I don't trust 'em, no matter the result of all their polls I don't trust 'em, corporations have no soul I trust you, cuz the passion is dormant but capable (Verse 2) They be puttin' us on opposite sides and have us fight Verbal or physical don't matter we leavin' dry Their concession stands only tempt fans and they fall for it Leavin' us in fear of gettin' robbed so we hoard it Forget it, we can share also assist each other Cuz deep down, you don't really wanna see me suffer And I don't want it for you we don't gotta hold a grudge Forget sayin' I hate you rather thank you very much Let's put down the bible recycle hypothesis Cuz we gotta start believin' in something that's not a risk Something quantifiable easily proven wrong Never develop ego or left on the same song You and me connect on a similar wave pattern While a corporation's fictional really it shouldn't matter The stock market shouldn't create a shortage of food For nature never stops and it's you it's trynna improve (Chorus) x 2

Desperation 04:09
lyrics
(Verse 1) Desperation is defined in a simple way Different limits everybody got a time and place Some reach it some don't, do it matter though? They make us feel every time like we had a vote We never had it though, time was always tickin' slow Nothing ever happened I was askin' what we sittin for Let's get a plan down, let's demand now I can be a part of it, without you we a man down I'll up my workload I can be responsible Kinda like, hell integrating with the tropical It's nonsense to the tenth degree And every time they bomb shit I think they comin' for me But I'm just paranoid, I learnt a lot of shit Plantation-like still bet you that they got a whip I got a lot of this, and yes a lot of that And for the record got dimensions I ain't gotta rap (Verse 2) I guess it's easy if you never really thought about it If you ain't got it then it's hard to give a fuck about it It's a damn shame but dammit I got bills to pay You say you sick of it and yet you never get away I hope for intermission, I hate the repetition It's like tryin' to cook, in an empty kitchen I got the pots and pans, and even recipes I'm trynna cook motherfucker won't you rest in peace? I feel my brows low, and in my neck tense I couldn't picture anybody makin' less sense And when my rent's due, I wanna hit you Matter fact the whole town's kinda pissed too We at your front door, we got no price now Unification mothafucka we won't lie down Keep your money we don't want another one of those He started laughin' looked around to find myself alone (Verse 3) It's not a question motherfucker it's a state of mind I can't avoid it it was destined since I took my time I tried to explain and help, maybe ease the pain It's not the same we view it different this is not a game So primitive with philosophy so limited I can tell the truth it's just they make it look so intricate I know I said it last time but it ain't happen yet It's gettin' worse by the day it's why I haven't left I don't need a gun, I need an audience I'll say the word you'll find the outcome to be obvious Don't ever think I'll ever be another lost cause For I exist as a response due to all our flaws I'll say it loud and clear, fuck the fame and fear! Matter fact I think I really fuckin' hate it here Gimme the gun back, I'll take enough back And when I'm done I'll fuckin' leave and never come back

Rebuild 05:02
lyrics
(Chorus) x 2 We can rebuild it, we can get along We don't gotta live a life of fear and doin' wrong It's an option, every time we choose not to listen to our options That's choosin' the wrong one regardless (Verse 1) It's just a matter of pickin' up all the scattered information With patience, without gettin' too rattled If you really wanna get down, then dig a little deeper You can overcome anything even the grim reaper We can harmonize the process within our body How we gonna clog it up, and wonder how it get shoddy You probly didn't think of it only your short pleasures An addiction is a beatable thing, not to be treasured Forget a factory gimme the open green And I guarantee I'ma outnumber how much you feed Cleanup is easy, anyone can do it I could be a kind kinda brother if I choose it So don't abuse it yo use it the tools at hand Don't rebel against the nature of man, can't understand Why you wouldn't wanna know and share all of this knowledge Showin' suicidal habits whatever you wanna call it Vertical hydroponics and waves that's supersonic And Tesla electricity lettin' us be free from monthly payments Bringin' it straight back to basics Cuz there's much more to life than chillin' and gettin' wasted Get up, stand up, as if you had enough We can brag about potential, but I don't know for what You can bump a song or even tattoo a lyric But you gotta take action no matter how much you fear it (Chorus) x 2 (Verse 2) I wanna dig up the ground and let the rain fall I wanna deliver the next time I get the same call I wanna learn from every mistake I make or not I don't wanna hide behind the excuse that I forgot I'm trying to eradicate inorganic materials By methods so rarely heard they seem like near miracles Try to imagine a life of resources Plentiful and taken from plenty of clean sources It's not a prophecy simply a possibility Whose only limitation is imitation humility So build with me, make it the reality we manifest I promise it'll soon be apparent what happens next One good decision will result in another Soon you'll start to clean and dig away at all the clutter No longer will ideas be copywritten and held back Since education's tied to our evolution, we help that Let's clean the water, rotate our crops Compost our trash or recycle never toss Let's do away with concrete, it suffocates the soil No longer package our foods in either plastic or foil It's slave food, that I will not embrace with my habits If our ancestors still ran it they'd of never let it happen Your point of view's distorted in need of a little clarity The way we live compare it to lesser see the disparity So share it, purify their air and their water Share the knowledge so they're capable of solving any problem No longer any borders in organisms that's self-sustained Limitless havin' a will gives us a way

Consciously Decisive 02:19
lyrics
I got a never ending battle quiet down and hear the rattle It's a cattle-like mentality, excuse me as I battle me I'd rather be broke and respected for my honesty Than rich convincin' all of 'em that this the way it gotta be I probly got about a couple steps ahead of me I realign my lower self, step back with yall I let it be Forgetting me I reacquainted with the higher self Asked to be forgiven he was like "yo what you talkin' bout?" It's not needed if it's ego don't you feed it If ya bleedin' best believe band-aids alone could not defeat it I'm seated in the middle, but little did I know A little more was all I needed now I see the glow It's horrible my thoughts was rangin' in they lowest forms Aura glow was slowin' mo', had to resurrect the flow The code was broken had to will it never hopin' Always open with intelligence, the weak you'll see it seldom is I'm tellin' kids they tellin' me I need some necklaces All they role models reppin' shit and with some recklessness I'm next to hit I best to get all they attention and Battlin' the ignorant and all I hear is "Finish Him!" I'm innocent and yet the law believe I isn't it He threaten all they profits so they lock him for they benefit Irrelevant the passionate cannot be silenced The highest self can overcome without the need of violence I can't awaken, I know this gotta be a dream I can't be breakin' for I know I am a part of team It's hard it seems, keep your heart in all the proper things Love will emanate for life provides it opportunity

This Is How It Is 03:56
lyrics
(Verse 1) Searchin' for a sense of inner peace Is not the way the older folks once made it seem to be And I wanna save lives but I can't afford the information I guess the world won't ever know my innovation I'll stay patient, study every occupation I'm not wastin' any time trynna build up they shit I can read books and learn it all for myself And it's got me hooked and trynna redistribute wealth Self is the easiest way to make change And I range from philosophy, math, science; the same I don't see the road block, just a slight detour Where many go blind I happen to see more Leave the ego out I'm trynna emphasize the progress Build off one another, say we can't, but that's nonsense We the young kids told that we can do anything It seems like we forgot it so it's time to give it everything (Chorus) x 2 This is how it is, no it's how I thought it was This is how it is, no it's how I thought it was This is how it is, no it's how I thought it was This whole time I thought the whole point was love (Verse 2) So I figure every woman want a man on his game Never to blame, any but self for my mistakes Never to take a risk if I ain't calculate it As I try to live responsibly even they downplay it I ain't trynna take you out or buy you nice things I'm trynna buy good food, take a nice walk maybe hiking My thing is conversations on contemplations The way these women are speakin' I gotta fake it My yin yang is balanced my malice is at a minimal Some expect a palace but that is not what I'm into though I'm hopin' that my greatest achievement is as a father So the mother of my children better be on top of her Game like I am on mine and think right Since thoughts are the source of everything given life Maybe I'm old-fashioned or maybe they're too young Or evolving through our breeding's no longer considered fun (Chorus) x 2 (Bridge) Cuz it's like, as a kid, they just lie to you. Ya knawmsayin? Make you behave. It's like we buy that shit. That's cool you know what I mean. Problem is they never stop lying. But we know better than that. (Verse 3) See I believed that maturity's measured in good will And treasured this thought, still I did not see it reflected I met so many christians and thought that they had compassion But it boiled down to nothing but greed and self-satisfaction I took action believin' it was the right path Searchin' my higher self for inner peace I would find that No fancy suit and no expensive car could ever bring that Donatin' to your local priest and then you seem to think that You have done your part and that your heart is in the right place When you have yet to start in your attempt to scratch the surface A half a trillion dollar corporation who we pray for Is not the team Jesus of Nazareth would've played for Givin' God money but God ain't got no bills Probably he's worried bout ours and our meals I asked as a kid why we didn't have enough to give When most rich people I saw were christian (Chorus) x 2

Direct Line 02:44
lyrics
(Chorus) x 2 Feel the body emanatin' out it's central mainframe Without love in your heart your efforts are all in vain You can't tell the low to communicate with the high If your mana ain't right since the aka is intertwined (Verse 1) Time to relax the body be gettin' tense Let the vanes dilate and flush out the toxins They cloggin when we don't, causin a lot of disease So maybe the best thing is oxygen when we breathe We got seven spinnin' wheels residing in three selves We gotta know ourselves to make sure they spin well Each self got a shadowy body And its own grade of vital force makes nine plus our body'll make ten The temple within is high maintenance Only when you lose sight of the righteous and lose patience Let it flow it's all part of our growth Embrace every challenge as if it brings hope Ya see we can't give up and throw up the white flag Every time our situation gets badder than bad We got co-pilots and a hell of an aircraft So we can soar above anything, there and back (Chorus) x 2 (Verse 2) The middle breathes air the low will take it in Converts it into energy through oxidation Depending on the task the middle will then decide If the higher self is needed or the low will suffice Don't fight relax, go with the flow of life And soon you'll know it's right, you'll feel the peace inside Direct line to the high self Nothing out alive could prevent what your mind could invent said to be a method of miracles at an instant Amplified ability through aka cords at distance Or maybe take a quick trip across the galaxy But remember knowledge and wisdom and all its balancing Some start to scratch the surface but stunt their growth When they use their god-self to take advantage of the poor Others go far and share it the best they can But they can't do all the work it's on you to understand (Chorus) x 2

No Longer Do I Care 04:26
lyrics
No longer do I care, it's too much effort You act like you care and pretend you've become better So don't judge me, pretending to embrace me Rejecting the qualities I'm composed of, don't face me, face you Taste truth, spoken in our actions In our interactions I've saved you, attempted Failed you, I blamed me, wonderin' who saves me It's like I'm drowning, and you tossed me a gun now you failed me Or so I thought I failed me if anything And realized through contemplation how it shapes reality Broken a fallacy provided by the king Knowing everything's affected by every bird when it sings So I'm perched on the edge just singin' my tune Trynna blend with the sound that the bird do Heard you and tried to bridge the gap it was a risky proposition You made me choose sides the moment you broke mission I'm missin' you but I'm missin' truth, and I'm missin' truth because I'm chillin' with you, I guess we don't share the same interests So I try to be more interesting I'm really trynna help but are you listening? Are you with me? I'm tempted to ask for proof I shouldn't expect anything I ain't the one to answer to You could do your thing while I try to figure mine out The difference with one another is whether we in a hideout My solitude is everything when I'm feelin' all alone Movin' thought to thought I must remember I still got a home I got love and because of that I trust me As the dust settles I know everybody loves me I must eat, consumption of the purest things If I wanna recreate my structure to another being A higher being capable of higher actions What mind and spirit consume could distort passion Not just the physical, easy imbalance I'll sip out of the river please, you could keep the chalice I'll take the challenge please I wanna feel alive If you wanna see it first then I wanna be the guy A year later I don't know if it's the right thought All I feel is pressure just constricting like a python That ain't healthy and it ain't gon' help much It wasn't til I let go that I finally felt touched I felt rushed no respect for the process, a prequel Not all steps are created equal Some are fast some are slow all are necessary Apart from the last one, results may vary Was very crushed every time I thought of givin' up Now I see the difference in the moments when I'm gettin' stuck Calm, relaxed, here for my brethren I gain strength every time I take a breath in I am integrated, usin' all my gifts Creativity's the strongest one I use to uplift From the plants to the arts, to a human with a heart In the womb of the woman I will never be apart from I kiss the dirt, I lay in the grass And I let my kids play where I know the fun will last The sun will last so let's act like it The Earth provides for me, so I stand by it

Rotation 03:08
lyrics
(Verse 1) The soul vibrates, the glow gotta hydrate No matter what I'm lookin at I still can't find it Two sips from a broken down configuration A lone man broken down by a federation Rooted in it I'm just gettin' what I need Like the thirst in the seed for the plant to be I break beef over break beats, some say peace My creativity is limited only by what I think I see you shine I respect our love Forget money all I ever really needed was enough Inside I'm thinkin' how much more But deep down is the voice to end the self-war I know I want it perfection it seem the purpose But the path isn't perfect thus in it the path can hurt us Mad love for everything in existence I'm here to bring the truths of life for all to witness (Chorus) Inside or outside, is this really my life? Or our life? Cuz I don't wanna wait until I die An answer is useful if it's to my question But they don't seem to care what the purpose to my quest is I reset, I don't need a doctor or a priest That's a standstill I find the progress is in me Balance is necessary I can find rotation You'll never find it all if you don't find yourself and face it (Verse 2) Love again once again for my higher source I hear it speak, speakin' well I give it every door For every man has their choices I respect that Sent back til we speak it which we will in fact My mind yearns for the knowledge of a better time I try to coordinate the ego it can be a fight We been given everything, everything is ours Know that you can write 'em better than to follow written laws Then again lack of love can leave you limited I simplify it when I see it all as limited It's coronation coordination with the higher self It's why I couldn't ever feel like I'm by myself I'm just by my wealth, but you're a part of that You couldn't see it with your eyes so it's hard to map It's not another entity just a single source So for now I let it be as I open doors (Chorus) x 2

The Holy Moment 03:26
lyrics
Good morning yo, it's a brand new day You'd think I'd give a damn but I didn't have a say My appeal? Unlimited existence Reaching for eternity, call it the resistance We could sit around, talk a buncha nonsense But I'm a grown man, I listen to my conscience Nuthin' really just a soul on the brink Icy at the moment, suntin' like a hockey rink If two was three then I'd be a step ahead of this Maybe wasn't ready yet, possibly they'd reminisce Whatever the case, I do it for the end result The impact of my words can make me wonder why I ever spoke Naw, if it happened it was meant to be The moment we exist in is eternal somewhat heavenly You think you're ready but your thoughts aren't readily Available to those you travel with, we are all savable Crave a bowl when I feel I ain't capable Gettin' it right, is much too hard not fake-able Doesn't matter what you did or what you will do Strive for the highest form of thought and it will heal you Don't wait for tomorrow, yesterday is no excuse God is not external every moment is within you (Sample) Good morning yo, it's a brand new day You'd think I'd give a damn but I didn't have a say My appeal? Unlimited existence Reaching for eternity, call it the resistance The emotion of a moment is a motion We see it linear, but really it is ever open Never open, the doors of self destruction Far from the truth, just allow yourself to function Watch it rupture, from a false structure Harmony is imminent, instead it's gettin' punctured Tinkered with, with no one when we need a lift Too busy with their self-motivated time they see the length I see it here at this moment in my notebook In the mic stand in the person up to no good Understood in my heart it's why I open up And even though I make a lot of sense I still don't know enough I'm rollin' up and yet I feel I was always here Just trynna separate the roots between the love and fear Some people think they grow together but it ain't the case Fear is an illusion of a moment that has gone to waste Doesn't matter what you did or what you will do Strive for the highest form of thought and it will heal you Don't wait for tomorrow, yesterday is no excuse God is not external every moment is within you

(Verse 1) Trynna empathize with every individual Trynna energize without the lies in my ritual My daily, which has been less than smooth sailing Trynna figure the lessons, to lessen the pain of failing I shoulda done this, I shoulda done that In time, you lose desire to go back Livin' in the moment the present is so diverse So every time I hurt it's just a lack of fluid worth As I try to ride the wave of life, universal motion Nothing but a speck of sand amid the black ocean of space But potent hopin' for more, responsibility But I shouldn't steal your journey, that's far from humility I'll let you live it even as you believe you get it And in the end, I'll be there to explain why you shouldn't regret it A dream's a nightmare only when you're scared So stop runnin' and you'll find the solution was always there (Chorus) x 2 I'm here to comfort you, put you in a better mood Maybe my perspective is no less than a better view And if you got the time, maybe I ccould share a rhyme Everything I say I say to evolve the mind (Verse 2) No need to be mean, nor try to act macho Take a deep breath, maybe dozen in each nostril It's easy to succumb to our deepest urges Man must understand the methods of his searches Some claim purpose while their efforts only hurt us While others view themselves through their actions as bein' worthless Uncertain of the next phase, even their catchphrase Reflects their success is dictated by disgrace Disharmony, inevitably, I let it be Since there's little left of me, next to me I manifest the rest of me, to integrate the best of me So I can spend the rest of my eternity more pleasantly I'm presently a single entity while gaining greater sense of me I'm trynna gain a greater sense of you, and that's the truth The only thing I know is unconditional It's pivotal I understand love, untap it's potential (Chorus) x 2
