[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 |
