I've gotta start Right back at the beginning where we're living in the wrong life No days off; we're in ever-long nights Wrestling the lie: everything is alright Spitting in our eye, so egregious They're messing with the genius Never seen this, so now it's on sight They be tryna wrong rights Got inner demons purging our empathies And replacing them with all spite What's gotten into you? Oh nothing, just the depression and all the ridicule Death around the corner, they're saying the threat is miniscule When will they get a clue? Maybe I should wear a blue vest in all my interviews Already tried that So now we're right back to the beginning When our feelings all needed ice packs When all our bodies knew how to do was to lie flat All we want is to get our lives back We gotta start right back at the beginning Where these corporate institutions all desperately get to wringing the blood right out of the neck of every subject Spilling it on the floor, it's capitalism gore Running us all ragged and still they're demanding more Even after a pandemic that whethered us to the core Too many years later, haven't they learned their lesson? How these snake moves lead to anxiety and depression In those they deem to control and take for granted? Emotionally scarred by those in upper management The rat race they talk up and feed it to your soul So I put three fingers up, making myself a candidate Already tried that So now we're right back to the beginning When our feelings all needed ice packs When all our bodies knew how to do was to lie flat All we want is to get our lives back

Sunshowers 02:31
I'm diving down towards the light with vengeance on my mind It clouds all my sight As I view darkness that shrouds the world From the backs of my eyelids comes the black pearl I observe, rest assured take heed For we all will receive what we deserve Rest assured, I observe all that Intuit other worlds without making contact Till I dive in again, but for now I'll fall back Register the palm slap that it handed to me I'm thankful for the save from the word you spell in all caps See vengeance is a steel blade And it's forged out of righteousness, a real flame Cooled in the tears of the underserved Rest assured it's so sharp you feel shame I observe, rest assured take heed For we all will receive what we deserve Rest assured, I observe all that Every truth coming through in a world all black "What is it that you're espying?" Oh nothing, it's just the transcendent A presence that's everywhere I'm gonna thrive in Mythology that's ancient and a science I see the surface of a universe It's breathing in and out exactly like a person Miraculous that's for certain I parachute down to land because it's worth it Eyes revel in ubiquity And though they stare, ain't no fear inside of me It's everywhere in this mystery But luckily I got time like a century To get down to business, now persistent To get back to music, the sound is endless I found a witness; I chat with muses Discourse has powers in it The angels granted us with a gift and it's loneliness Never to relent in our search even though we all know the risks It's never hopeless when we create the hope Demand from ourselves what our fate will hold On how to break the mould Oh how I cherish every word when these syllables are made of gold

Dream Eater 01:45
See it with a smile upon my face Then I close eyes, finding myself in a realer place Than the whole time, I be operating with both minds No signs this was never to be the case Feather will be the weight of the fucks that I'm giving up I'mma be in the cut, no cape, still Sinister They high-key tryna get rid of us Fill us up with fake dreams until we wither up Gotta have a response if they don't listen up Hit em right in the throat, don't let em interrupt I said what I said Funny how there's no offence when we bled from our heads So entrenched in the meds Hemorage friends all for some greater vision A cycle that never ends Still no sense of what's all here upon the maps Stay sharp and always expect nothing exact From these motherfucking crooks Lemme go and read a book We'll get em shook and out of our league When we really begin to cook And we're past the fatigue instilled wih every look As they're passing by, taking without asking all of time So out of fashion So now is the time to exercise our pooled imagination It's wealth, it's this true sense of validation This is our dream, not someone else's Seek freedom, now you're too mean and being selfish? X that, we're on our spell shit Why be surprised right now? You see the outfits

Life spans always waxing and waning What a phenamenon! Gives birth to a natural undertaking Fleeting and temporary is neccesasry for love To envelop and rise about just the concept of adversaries Cooler heads prevail due to energy from the feminine Dying and self-renewal leading to gratitude that's genuine Consciousness incarnate loaded with every sentiment Suffering through pains and desires beyond precedent We shed out skin every twenty-nine-and-a-half days The cycle is fulfilling and yet we only get halfway Overthinking like Chidi, we're feeling we're in a Bad Place Fully illuminated expelling the past hate It's so refreshing, sitting, feeling the breeze on cooler nights Better than scrapping, not having a clue of who to fight Punching the air like Tre's not a way We're trying to do what's right in space-time Living and dying within this lunar life We are to eternal knowledge like Icarus to the Sun His ambitions were overriding, his journey had just begun Though the energy we're respiring, solar nature inside it Is destined to open minds when our limits are overcome Take heed: it can be poisonous to the populace Engaging in absolutes, still we're saying it's not enough The vibes are masculine; ain't nobody be stopping us Simply to describe it all as firy is obvious Look up in the sky, marvel how we shine Disengaging from all of time and thus knowing we'll never die Spirit is full of photons; glow-up by design Ever-blazing and it's amazing we're always within our prime Guess this is the feeling of being constant It's here for just anybody who wants it All you need to do is fly way close to the sun unprompted Plummet into the infinite; everything else is nonsense

Intention is feeling... Mindfulness feeling... Livelihood feeling... Concentration is... The way I speak it is... The way I do it is... View and effort are feeling... Stumble into a scene by tapping upon a screen Dead eyes fully dilated with dopamine Libido fully outta control with nowhere to go It's as if I haven't a chore but to. empty this magazine Chasing whims and pleasures across the map Without leaving the poisonous comfort within these mobile apps I'm sleeping morning to evening For what I'm seeking I'm beating down a destructive paths With every step I'm craving For the transient moment in which I'm praised and externally validated Posting and I'm hoping my viewers will be amazed By my contribution to content enriching their entertainment Suddenly the horizon is made of pixels That I'm constantly refreshing, it's sensory deprivation Perverting the words insight and engagement Limiting application time to the extreme No more wading to the scenes, no more tapping upon the screen Feeling like an accomplishment To have abolished this social media fix No more feeling like I'm a narcissist The problem is I'm eschewing an education In the name of self-denial and self-mortification Feeling dangerous Because now I'm feeling superior to the masses Though a sameness is remaining on the interior Only difference is now I'm under a rocking living Ignorance is bliss I guess I'm living with a motive that is ulterior

Black 1 04:12
Everything is dying in time It truly is undefeated for a reason And I'm feeling its breath and it's my neck The most powerful thing you can possibly manifest More power than everything when combined Fool's errand is a beast to consider even competing And I'm fiending, toss-turning in bed As I'm reviewing each day of the life I've lead What a sequence for the fires of dissolution 10 milli needed to start a movement towards an amicable resolution A void into nothinginess? Sounds like an evolution No rules Shit, part of me is okay with it This city, no longer needing a stake in it Under-consciously trying to break away from it Nostalgia, time is annihilating it, no faking it Look a little closer, this is never over The annihilator is the composer As their manipulating time, leaving it far behind It's like where I go when I'm formulating a rhyme It's the Black One Honestly the protector that steps in when I'm feeling the pressure Any obstuction interfere and the Black One steps in Making it very clear we're protected here Look upon the god and its image incites horror In the hearts of everything in the way And it's encouraging having this guardian in our corner When the fights for living'll wear away At your connection to your higher purpose All the bumps in the road'll have your questioning your discernment All of a sudden your back to searching The Protector rectifies that, has you knowing for certain You're the person ready to be turning a new leaf The old ways, discovered that they're deceased Thank God, they had me stuck in a loop All the echoes resounding but never were complete Death is a release to set you free Rebirth to new life offering a reprieve progressively Meaning that we're making a change And the engine for it is all a part of me If you're letting a thing go It's okay, you're making room for something new in your life Ensuring the doorways are never closed Portals remain accessible whenever the time is right Changes everyone undergoes Difference is if you respond with the feat to the sacrifice Gods is flowing through audio In addition to the ink in the pen that I use to write We're beyond time

Power Down 02:10
We gotta power down Reset the system operating now Debt is in flesh, we need it by the pound Throw it in rice, we gotta power down Reset the system operating now Debt is in flesh, we need it by the pound Just burn down every precinct Shatter every window, we're interrupting their feasting We will not abide by them eating our brains When we think Then we present a level of danger that is increasing Rest In Power to my patience; I abandoned it Grew into a rebel out of a candidate It'd be an understatement to say that I'm not a fan Of this amount of propaganda, deceit and the underhandedness We gotta power down Reset the system operating now Debt is in flesh, we need it by the pound Throw it in rice, we gotta power down Reset the system operating now Debt is in flesh, we need it by the pound No more accepting what they are advertising KRS said it best: we are the masters of how we perceive Whenever they are bringing the stress, I reflect Knowing that a G.U.N. is up my sleeve Meaning "God, Universe, Nature" is the new creed Lost hope, suddenly I knew that I had to find it Tried to break me down, apathetically concede But I see through all their fake moves All they're doing is pantomiming It's so satisfying when they realize you are not be trifled with No longer under gas lights, calling your sight a psychosis You're living in your truth, doing it all despite the risk So no standing on ceremony We're starting with credit companies, all the debt their controlling We're erasing this weapon used by the predatory As the universe arrives laying waste to all before me Fire and blood is on the mental Consuming the rich has become essential Inform them that greed is now consequential As we put them on the block with the Nazis and the incels Au revoir I'll give the rebellion all I got 'Til all I see is ashes, likely I'll never stop I think I dig the brand of justice It's almost like I'm playing God Throw it in rice, we gotta power down Reset the system operating now Debt is in flesh, we need it by the pound Throw it in rice, we gotta power down Reset the system operating now Debt is in flesh, we need it by the pound

Hard to take our eyes and attention off all the symbols And reorient to the things they're intended to represent We're obsessing over the overcomplication of the simple Not realizing we're falling, call it a "condescent" I do it all the time when I burrow into my head Identifying highly with any thought I attend All while forgetting that I'm just the universe expressing Matt It's like our egos are perpetrating to set us back All with a demand for trying to understand Translating the physical, seeking an upper hand Every intent to dominate Mis-identifying an other all just to do so Instead of trying to congregate Icumbent on the other two to never go an constipate So keeping every idea flowing before it rots away Now we're finding it seemingly up for hot debate That art is a direct function of having lots of play Take your mind outta the gutter for a moment for me Talking aesthetics and appreciating the One and Only: You, you and you, in addition to me as well We're all expressions, entering where the need is felt We're so accustomed to seeing it sold separately The mindset continues to weigh upon us oppressively Stemming on how we non-communicate with our words So a more primal way of seeing eye-to-eye becomes the recipe Enter stage left the art of play or the play of art Whimsical feelings, they play a part Sending and receiving without a need for vocabulary Shedding light while fending and keeping away the dark I'm telling y'all there's no longer a need to be ashamed We're more than just the spirit our epidermis contains More than just the conscious attention that we emit That's just how we hallucinate

Double Edge 05:47
Know a little bit And suddenly be moving like a hypocrite Falling for the feel of it In doing so, you might as well be killing it So we creep along the double-edge Always asleep until we go to bed Always impeding with a diligence But fiending for trophies and certificates The war is raging at an agressive rate And I'm praying for a correction Who's for combatting the influence Of every real and imaginary rejection? Letting go of the rope a little When the journey's more powerful than perfection Field is developing a complexion That is the harbinger for oppression that's self-inflicted Restraint is an option that seems alone when enlisted The mission: to react and not respond Is like dopamine to addiction, sadistic Everybody always on the shit list Getting high on a supply of ignorance Perceive an entirety But a figment is all that's presented in our condition When only thinking five of our senses Are worthy to be bearing a witness "All" is a declarative sentence Throwing out all fair inquisition When only thinking five of our senses Are worthy to be bearing a witness "All" is a declarative sentence Electromagnetic sickness Knowledge is a poison up until it's giving wisdom to the wise Violence becoming a prerequisite and never a suprise Nothing unexpected for humanity, just open up your eyes Talking full dissection from the eyelids down to the nerves Granting you a blindness, appeasement Look around, senses are no longer over-estimating mindless acheivement Double down on your self-autonomy Thinking like Your Highness, a weakness Clutching to illusions of control Thought we put that all behind us, a secert Nihilism taking every toll, so we're killing it with kindness Looking upon the universe with awe giving you something to believe in Relinquighing all of the power consuming us all, humanity will seep in Imagine that Rather than us all attack what we think we understand Opportunity for being mini-autocrats, something that we never planned
11.
Transforming into a cynic The exhaustion is keeping up up and leaving me livid And that's bad luck y'all stuck with me defending Nothing other than myself, no doubt that I be sinning I've got a will like steel, I'm staning my ground No hope left but still I'mm never pipe down The wrath is sufficient to motivate my ass for the clashes I'm with it regardless of where the fight's found Never idle, sleeping without my eyes closed Staying woke and I do it for my survival My heart it corresponds with skin: black and ice cold Hope I'm travelling down the right road Reciprocating when my humanity is ignored Take em with me when going to see the Lord Doing everything I can to exterminate every threat Not sorry for your loss, I'm preserving my self-respect

Sunya 02:26
Forgetting that you exist when you lose yourself in a process Just being, everything's like breathing Don't even gotta think about it Just shrug and let it happen The first time that I looked in my brother's eyes An intelligence less an hour old was nevertheless powerful Got me musing upon our origins some more again Walking along the beach, first steps into the ocean With warm sand, all of it getting between your toes and shit Whole horizon is just a blue line With a red sun that'll be disappearing in due time Waves Speaking of sounds from the bass With the groove that it's riding'll make you sway Turning the volume up and scrunching up your face Dancing any- and everywhere in your place Conversing with your lover as you slide inside Look em in the eye, dive into their rising tide Then they tighten around you and you're laughing at they joke So happy that they found you The high-pitch hiss when a breeze No longer is inconspicuous travelling through the trees The moving air generate sound patterns offa the leaves Close your eyes and hear the symphonies And while you're at it, scan a little more You hear that? I call it the human drone Anything with an engine just roaring into the stratosphere And yet it harmonizes with the Earth around us I'm just marvelling at it sometimes Watching live episodes of Planet Earth Phenomenon that is infinite to discover Just on our planet let alone upon all others Behind the wheel as you're travelling down a road That's winding through a forest, trees behind and before us and around us The beauty is inescapable The scene nourishes and my plate is full When you struggle at telling yourself you got this Then you stop a reminisce upon everything you've accomplished Then you wonder why you don't do it that often And towards yourself you truly do need to soften When you lose hours reading a good book
