[00:24.38] Yesterday, forget it
[00:26.00] Tomorrow is nada
[00:27.48] The present is right here,
[00:28.95] through the breath, watch it
[00:30.54] Atheist Jesus piece, hanging on a cross
[00:33.19] We sit and discuss God on lawn chairs
[00:35.72] About how we got here,
[00:37.17] What it is, what it isn't, shit
[00:39.03] Fate vs. fate, scrimmaging with coincidence
[00:41.86] Leave out the market
[00:43.36] and hold up on the business end
[00:44.91] Focus on the genuine,
[00:46.33] and everything else,
[00:47.49] you can shed the skin
[00:48.77] I was a couple moves away from being dead
[00:51.89] In that ER overdosing, eyes bleeding red
[00:54.91] I fell in love, made an album, got a buzz
[00:57.23] Lost it all, sobered up and guess what?
[00:59.69] Now we meet again
[01:01.00] And now I'm back, finally just laughin'
[01:03.85] Expectations are resentments waiting to happen
[01:06.73] Studying the Dharma, Karma, Vipassana practice
[01:09.47] Bahá'u'lláh, Buddah,
[01:10.65] God to the mountaintop and I'm traveling
[01:12.67] Learning, yes, reflecting on what matters
[01:15.80] People, impermanence, lack of attachments
[01:19.15] It's space and time, a couple man-made distractions
[01:22.00] The measure of a spirit that no human can ever capture
[01:25.31] Church, ha, this booth is my Vatican
[01:27.98] I don't control life, but I control how I react to it
[01:31.03] Student of the breath, break beats and balancing
[01:34.13] Desire vs. truth until I finally find happiness
[01:42.19]
[02:01.06] I was put here to do something
[02:03.02] before I'm lying in that casket
[02:04.50] I'd be lying on the beat if I said I didn't know what that is
[02:07.67] The world's a stage and we play a character, I found him
[02:10.70] It took me 20 something years
[02:12.11] and a bunch of shitty soundchecks
[02:13.79] I'm not gonna be content, till I find gratitude
[02:16.81] Regardless of my sales or the record deals that they're handing you
[02:19.98] If the next generation takes a legacy in samples
[02:22.31] You will have a bunch of mp3's of misled kids to pass 'em to
[02:26.05] I use my veins to create the color I paint from
[02:28.73] Delve into self until my heart becomes my paint brush
[02:32.12] I told my momma I'm not stopping till my names up
[02:35.15] Thinkin' those comments on that blog is gonna save us
[02:38.19] Searching for everything but God to validate ya
[02:40.78] Get insecure and then we start blaming the haters
[02:44.11] Used to look to women to fill a part of me that was vacant
[02:46.87] Truth, the only thing that I ever used in moderation
[02:49.95] So I stare into this paper instead of sitting at a cubicle
[02:53.13] Take all the ugly shit inside and try to make it beautiful
[02:56.01] Use the cement from rock bottom and make it musical
[02:59.24] So that people can relate to where I've been,
[03:01.39] Where I'm going, what I've seen, what I've heard
[03:03.20] From the guts, fuck the glory
[03:04.96] Just a person on a porch putting it all into recording
[03:08.08] Many in my past and many that came before me
[03:11.23] I just keep walking my path and I'm blessed to share my story
[00:24.38] Yesterday, forget it
[00:26.00] Tomorrow is nada
[00:27.48] The present is right here,
[00:28.95] through the breath, watch it
