Back At The Beginning

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

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

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

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

How We Hallucinate
02:37
|
|||
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

On The Contrary
04:17

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

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
