It's funny how beginnings And endings are not so different I don't speak on beef no more Get my iron from eating spinach Like Domino's I deliver Be there in minutes To relieve the sickness I'm mixing up the elixirs Skip the explicits It's mythical, spittin' scripture It's hypocritical Fixing it is the mission The outer vision Reflecting inner conditions No more decisions I'm living off intuition I'm skipping all ya traditions I'm finished asking permission It's shifting this music business Not in it for recognition I'm in it to make a difference Paint pictures for little children It's good that you got those feelings Reactions to all the realness Yes Yo, yo, yo, yo And I don't think there's much to say Cause, cause, cause, cause Nothing even matters anyway One, one, one, one 106, 505, 732 You, you, you, you You hate me but I damn sure love you Didn't expect it? I gotta convince myself sometimes Believe it buddy You spread the light Then you gotta shine I'm talkin' Tesla Effects that are felt in every time I'm talking texture You feel it? So smooth you can't describe Be original, an individual There is no limit to you Universes are built for you It's metaphysical The answers here They live in you Be still and listen to What the spirit is giving you, miracles Gigantic and minuscule I didn't finish school But I learned a thing or two It's always now So enjoy every single moment Say hi and smile Nobody wants to feel lonely Won't know if you don't try And laughter is golden Nobody really knows it We just guess and we hope it Yup Yo, yo, yo, yo And I don't think there's much to say Cause, cause, cause, cause Nothing even matters anyway One, one, one, one 106, 505, 732 You, you, you, you You hate me but I damn sure love you I wish you were a part of this I'm sorry if I started it Slaughtered it with my tardiness Called it quits, that's my parting gift I'm on the naughty list Won't get into the specifics It's like Cupid audited All my partners we can't do business Now listen Cut the ventriloquists Make up your own opinions Don't let 'em turn you to dummies Or puppets think up decisions Express it the way you live it Don't be indifferent Don't wait for the intermission Don't wait for the competition Over seven billion civilians All looking to make killings Sinning relinquished the misfits Unpackaging all our gifts and We're flipping it Like some gymnasts Extra nutritious Outwork 'em, reverse fitness Just let me know when you get it You're such a winner Wiser than the Seven Pillars I'm not too into religion But still I listen to Krishna Peace Yo, yo, yo, yo And I don't think there's much to say Cause, cause, cause, cause Nothing even matters anyway One, one, one, one 106, 505, 732 You, you, you, you You hate me but I damn sure love you

Everything is going to be ok We need to know this pain if we are to know true love Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy I be lost though Catch you at the crossroads All the lost souls Catch you at the crossroads Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy When you're lost though Catch me at the crossroads All the lost souls I'll catch you at the crossroads Unpopular kid Unstoppable King I am who I am It's not what it is A clock on my wrist Still no time What's the meaning of this? I see no signs What's the chatter about? Nothing matters Digging deeper Climbing ladders Spreading peace or Fighting battles Thinking forward But looking backwards Kinda average Yet Kinda savage Always a method To the madness What a planet There's something bout it Always spirals And always patterns Creatures of habit That's how we'd have it But it's the freedom We're always after It's like a magic Naturally I'm an addict Lacking the satisfaction I'm scatter brained like they blasted me So Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy I be lost though Catch you at the crossroads All the lost souls Catch you at the crossroads Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy When you're lost though Catch me at the crossroads All the lost souls I'll catch you at the crossroads Been to the bright light Can't wait to go back No worries there The heart is where the home's at Wait I mixed it up Because I'm twisted up You could wish me luck But I could give a fuck Me be humble? Prolly never happen It's a jungle Don't let 'em catch you nappin' Be ready, it's your reaction That actually matters Happy but bet it that I'd be bat shit Ecstatic from all the madness Gladly I would rewrap it Re-package it for some cash and Some ass and maybe some acid Distracting me from my blasphemy My passion can lead to sadness I shouldn't be left alone Enjoy it while you have it You never know when it's gone And life is a puzzle We persevere and we struggle We play, we learn, and we hustle We make amends, we make trouble We rise up out of the rubble Another jewel to uncover Until its course has been run And it just returns to its nothingness Uhh Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy I be lost though Catch you at the crossroads All the lost souls Catch you at the crossroads Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy When you're lost though Catch me at the crossroads All the lost souls I'll catch you at the crossroads The beautiful destruction Of everything, ain't it something? When everything turns to nothin' We're nothing more than just dust in the wind I give up the suffering A budget just doesn't cut it Been hustlin' like I'm Russell To muffle all the assumptions Cementing a legacy So I can remember If I have to come back It'll help me be better Cause I'm tired of fighting ghosts I'm tired of how it is I'm tired of the spirals Why can't they just let me live? Why can't I just give it up? Put an end to the cycle When I die, leave me in peace I don't want a revival I'm tired Don't make me come back Don't make me come back Don't wanna come back Leave me alone man Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy I be lost though Catch you at the crossroads All the lost souls Catch you at the crossroads Don't believe me? I been on a wave, b Death is easy Life is really crazy When you're lost though Catch me at the crossroads All the lost souls I'll catch you at the crossroads Reach out for me and I'll be there Reach out for me and take my hand Reach out for me, I'll do what I can Reach out for me, please don't be scared Reach out for me and I'll be there Reach out for me and take my hand Reach out for me, I'll do what I can Reach out for me, please don't be scared Please don't be scared

I fade into you We take The train to Philly Near the hometown of my father With bottles in paper bags What happened to all the honor? I still believe in karma As naive as that sounds But it helps me react calmer For fear of what's coming 'round Now most of us getting loud Just trying to be ourselves Drinking until we drown We both know it all too well But then I look up, what? That can't be who it seems Beard and hair long as any With sandals upon his feet White robe that looks like a sheet I say Jesus, can it be? My friends all pause to laugh It's your reflection that you see I found the path On a dirty train track Let me reach into your soul Who's looking back When I'm looking at The only one who could know I fade into you No really that can't be me I promise that I can see him Ok, we see him too But still I think there's a reason So when I hear these girls speaking In Spanish I try to greet them I roll my R's poorly They're laughing and then they're cheesing We finally get to our stop I tell 'em it's nice to meet 'em Who knew that so many thoughts Would come from a random meeting Reflect later in the evening The meaning of being decent A little difference in language Don't change the way that we see 'em We're born into this world even Society takes your freedom Depending on your skin Or your name It's such a shame I found the path On a dirty train track Let me reach into your soul Who's looking back When I'm looking at The only one who could know I fade into you We sit by a man with dreadlocks He's deadlocked in conversation He asks the girls where they're from New Jersey I hear 'em saying There's nothing but smiling faces It gives me hope for salvation The most beautiful people exist in all different races As we move station to station I see art I'm in amazement All these places have such character I feel an admiration For the cultures and their customs Their patience, wisdom, and sayings Despite all the operations They stuck it out now they're staying I'm praying that something changes And we're accepting these angels Cause lately we've just been shaming 'em Acting nothing but blameless It's craziness

Yeah Take a second on this one It’s hard to see it When you’re programmed from the go Gotta unlearn what’s been coded And remember what you know There’s a message in your conscience Please believe what’s in your soul There’s a lesson in the silence See inside of you is gold So don’t let nobody tell you That you’re worthless or you’re broke Keep the fire burning strong But don’t get caught up in the smoke Theres a lot that’s going on Keep holding on to all your hope Always darkest before dawn Yeah I can feel we’re getting close now Man I was never good enough I don't know if I'll ever be Maybe in another life The let down what she said to me It's elementary, I figured it out It's destiny, it's meant to be I found my own sound Now I'm putting it out My own vibration Reaching frequencies The peak's amazing The dream's contagious How it's all connected The smallest things send the biggest message Every single moment, every choice affects it It's brilliant, words don't express it Its realness, is the thing I question If we live, who the hell's in heaven? Done pretending I'm the king of it all I put my ego aside and everything is resolved I found my way back home But I came back for y'all I gotta tell ya, it gets better Once you realize we're God A certain energy You channel it You're changing it Could take this place of hatred To higher vibrations We're taking off in spaceships Creating how we live Ain't gotta wait for this Cause time doesn't exist man And I ain't gotta try no more I never gotta stress I came to peace, I finally see I put my grief to rest I don't know what is left All I know is that it's right I've breathed beyond my breath And I've seen beyond my sight I made it to the light And it showed me that we're fine Everything that's going down Is all part of the design Matter fact, we're moving up Once we choose to look inside Once we say we've had enough We can choose another ride We can go to another plane, another game We can do it all again We don't gotta feel the pain We're as great as we wanna be This life is a single perspective Of the whole collection It balances at the ending So spend your time like it's heaven You think it, you manifest it The Earth is just a projection The world is just a reflection Of you on another level I promise it's all connected And it can get better We can transcend the dimensions If we just do it together You ever wonder why brain cells look like galaxies? It's all a strategy To learn our true nature We are the beast analyzing itself Do you like what you see? If not, then fix it We've got the prescription Inside of us and Outside we're one Wake up and live now It's time to go higher We've all been waiting on the same arrival

How long How long have you been away How long I can't find the words to say How long How long have you been away How long I can't find the words to say It's been a while now I can't keep track of time I feel inspired now I can't hold back the vibe Just breathe even Feel the pain leaving You don't need it Just believe in The truth It's in u-n-i-verse We are the stars And all in between The place inside dreams How long How long have you been away How long I can't find the words to say How long How long have you been away How long I can't find the words to say Your generosity has got to me It means a lot to me You're possibly, no probably, no obviously The top and we Should rock with this non stop Until we drop we're getting hotter By the second You're heaven You clear my headaches - Excedrin I've accepted that you're not here right now It's kinda weird right now I thought we had a deal And I don't know just how to feel right now How long How long have you been away How long I can't find the words to say How long How long have you been away How long I can't find the words to say Eye've lost track of time Of how long we've been misaligned You used to be my life Now eye'm livin' without you fine But don't misconstrue This message eye have for you Eye'm sceptic and that ain't new You get it, eye know you do Cause eye am you That illusion eye can now see through The youniverse is in you So feel immersed in the music Ride the rhythm cruising Reap fruits of what you've been doing Focus on improving Create a new world of union How long How long have you been away How long I can't find the words to say How long Did you think we could play this game Running 'round every day Without anything changing Fading, our relationship is It's amazing How time don't exist Eye'm fishing For vivid visions Of living to the end of this mission Swimming in gifts to be given Scribbling it to existence Merkaba giving assistance Ripping this Veil

Ayo close your eyes Vibe out to this Triumph after tragedy Insanity then clarity The point I'm making Take your horrors Turn 'em into fantasies How can it be? We made it outta depression Relentlessly learned lessons And turned 'em all into blessings No more aggression, unnecessary Lower your weapons Peace and love is the only way It begins with the ending It's up to us to be better We're the generation of love Forget the vendettas I seen the best and lesser Everything meshes Everything settles Forget the oppressors You got the power of the universe That's pretty impressive You don't gotta be stressin' It was written, it's destined Did you not get The Message? Did you hear what Nas said? And I'm thinking "I know I can" You take belief and faith And then you start manifesting 'Till you stop second guessing Just be you, no deception Be authentic, no pretending When you follow your intuition You gain independence My wallet been empty But my heart been full Yeah this life keeps testing If I'm capable Smiles come and go Like the change of seasons Our thoughts have power So I keep on dreamin' Like Nas and Kanye I'm still dreamin' Life's a constant battle 'tween the angels and the demons Valleys and the peaks and Setting goals and reaching Sometimes you learn to swim when thrown into the deep end Still learning while I'm teaching Open minded, coincide with Nightmares and dreams born beneath the eyelids Manifested through focus and silence Our souls are meant to shine like stars - ultraviolet Dreams can take you anywhere on Earth just like a pilot Time travel, ancient Egypt writing bars up on papyrus Here's a challenge let's try it It's called believing, not a virus Practice what I preach, this isn't bias Chuck the deuces to excuses Can't complain cause if you do well who gives two shits I'm only talkin' if the shoe fits Cynics make me sick like when the flu hits So I'm calling out for love like Remy and Papoose's My wallet been empty But my heart been full Yeah this life keeps testing If I'm capable Smiles come and go Like the change of seasons Our thoughts have power So I keep on dreamin' You know the interesting thing Is not the Yin or the Yang The interesting thing is the S-shaped surface Which runs between them And that S-shaped surface is a river of alchemical mercury Now where the alchemist saw this river of alchemical mercury Is in the boundary between waking and sleeping There is a place, not quite sleeping, not quite waking And there there flows this river of alchemical mercury Where you can project the contents of the unconscience And you can read it back to yourself

And I had heard that we wanna be free We always had it deep inside Oh yeah it's starting with me And I had heard that we wanna believe We gotta feel it deep inside Oh yeah it started with me Sungazing, rooted, bare feet in sand The waves will crash then flow back again We need the Yin And we need the Yang What good is good If you don't know no bad? I mean, it's all perspective Perception is everything, ain't it? It's all a piece of a puzzle that's always changing I sit back, absorb it all in amazement Can't even understand it Creator, yet the creation It's slightly paradoxical We're "we", you're not "you" Always been off my rocker If you let me tell it I've been living in heaven It's just the seventh dimension The energy so immense Nirvana, Zen, Ascension And I had heard that we wanna be free We always had it deep inside Oh yeah it's starting with me And I had heard that we wanna believe We gotta feel it deep inside Oh yeah it started with me It's aligning now Almost balanced, wow How do the clouds seem to speak in dreams? I mean, the rain falls It cleans the soul well Kinda like we cry tears to expel what we felt The energy is released The cycle begins anew Everything in rotation Spiraling up to truth Everything in vibration The harmonies are in tune Be still in your meditation And let it all come to you You attract what you put out Thoughts, words, and actions I changed the pattern to escape the sadness I see the big picture, framed with caption We always had it, relax And I had heard that we wanna be free We always had it deep inside Oh yeah it's starting with me And I had heard that we wanna believe We gotta feel it deep inside Oh yeah it started with me And I had heard that we wanna be free We always had it deep inside Oh yeah it's starting with me And I had heard that we wanna believe We gotta feel it deep inside Oh yeah it started with me

Young Gotta appreciate what you got baby Or you won't appreciate what you get Ain't that something? Give me all the money I would give it right back You could give me all the honeys I would trade 'em for my last You could give me all the bottles You could give me all the fortunes You could have a lot of that Don't mean a thing you don't enjoy it Yo Give me all the money I would give it right back You could give me all the honeys I would trade 'em for my last You could give me all the bottles You could give me all the fortunes You could have a lot of that Don't mean a thing you don't enjoy it Yo Happiness I ask for it And get it in return The key is just being grateful Everyday I try to learn I been working on my person I'm trying to stop the curses I wanna play these songs For my nieces and at the churches I know about feeling worthless Don't come from a lack of money It's something that's in your soul Just waiting to be uncovered The more you learn about you The more you relate to others The more you realize the truth The more you could feel the oneness The pyramids make me wonder Who's really living amongst us The monks must be onto something Go months no water no munchies This isn't what we've been told There's still so much to discover Fascinating Mother Nature The sun, the thunder, I love her yo Give me all the money I would give it right back You could give me all the honeys I would trade 'em for my last You could give me all the bottles You could give me all the fortunes You could have a lot of that Don't mean a thing you don't enjoy it Yo Give me all the money I would give it right back You could give me all the honeys I would trade 'em for my last You could give me all the bottles You could give me all the fortunes You could have a lot of that Don't mean a thing you don't enjoy it Yo Experiences, relationships The only things that matter What good is a giant bank account If you don't get to travel Physically and mentally Project it into the Astrals The stars hold a deeper meaning We pray to a natural chapel The galaxy's fascinating Reflections of inner wisdom The universe always changing Projecting the soul's condition We're yearning for liberation We're stronger in our convictions We're constantly innovating Creating it as we live it yo Give me all the money I would give it right back You could give me all the honeys I would trade 'em for my last You could give me all the bottles You could give me all the fortunes You could have a lot of that Don't mean a thing you don't enjoy it Yo

My own friends don't like me You think I really care if you do? I know I get difficult My way of thinking's unusual But I promise just stick around Some ideas are worthwhile Ever since my eyes been open it's much harder to smile I swear I'm climbing, I'm trying Only competing with myself Cause at this point in my life I don't need to feed no one else Just taking care of my health And keep accruing my wealth I'm not talking 'bout money I'm talking knowledge of self Before you can love another Gotta learn to love you So take a second to do Whatever you gotta do I'm not saying be selfish But remember you're human too So if you got a dream You better stick with it like glue A lot of people act friendly But deep down they love me not She's picking petals off flowers And the answer, she loves me not My neighbors keep on complaining Safe to say they love me not I'm aware they don't love me But hey I love me a lot A lot of people act friendly But deep down they love me not She's picking petals off flowers And the answer, she loves me not My neighbors keep on complaining Safe to say they love me not I'm aware they don't love me But hey I love me a lot It's good to be misunderstood Because the masses are average I embrace names like crazy, maniac, lunatic, savage I'm not meant for horse and carriage I love animals too much Maybe cause they love me back Man isn't that funny stuff? I really get along with nature She's got a magical touch A cabin deep in the woods Would be more than enough Lately I crave meditation I learned it all comes from patience Best to accept it, embrace it You feel the energy changing What a rush It feels good to be free Lighten up It's only a dream What is love? Everything that we need When it's done I bet you're gonna believe A lot of people act friendly But deep down they love me not She's picking petals off flowers And the answer, she loves me not My neighbors keep on complaining Safe to say they love me not I'm aware they don't love me But hey I love me a lot A lot of people act friendly But deep down they love me not She's picking petals off flowers And the answer, she loves me not My neighbors keep on complaining Safe to say they love me not I'm aware they don't love me But hey I love me a lot It's trivial to be critical Refreshing to be accepting Learning to love myself Has been my personal lesson It made the vision of heaven Turn into my everyday With a different perception I remembered a better way This life is just what you make it Yeah you could choose any shape Lately I been getting ready To enter another plane Where the love is just endless And we don't vibrate to hate Everything is tremendous And we forget all our pain The light is so beautiful The source so pure Everything is new to you All order restored Getting bored of this stuff? Me too, I'm wrapping it up I'm aware that you don't love me But hey I love me enough

It's crazy out here man Let's have a little fun with it My writing like lightning Like right hits from Tyson Might get white Timbs To contrast the black Benz I love solitude but don't lack friends You gotta balance yang yin I mean shit, really like to meditate I really love getting lit Which one to pick Such a predicament Didn't have this many options When I was a little kid They always notice the sins And barely clap in the wins I guess that's just how it is I feel like B.I.G. I got a story to tell I think you should listen in Swore the money wouldn't change me It hasn't cause I don't have it I get it and then I spend it The energy flow is balanced I'm tryna buy mom a palace I'm working through every hour And I'm taking the power Making magic outta the madness Take the world as it is With its smiles and its sorrow It's love and its friendships It's falsehood and truth It's schemes that depend on the breath of tomorrow It's hopes which past by the dreams of our youth Take the world as it is Look it up, it's a good poem Before you get going Just know I'm thinking about you I wish the best for you All love, I mean it You can call me anytime Here to help if you need it You got your reasons Whatever's helping ya sleeping Relieving you of your demons There's meaning inside your dreaming Believe it and listen to self The truth inside you I think love is wealth Let the kindness guide you All that anger you felt It was blinding, child New day, new life Kinda like revival We're something just like a Phoenix We came back and now we're leaving Our history won’t repeat it We rise above and we beat it We laid out the blueprints So we could go home The key is cooperation Cannot do it alone It might take some dedication The results are gold Be open about your mission Let the love be known Swore the money wouldn't change me It hasn't cause I don't have it I get it and then I spend it The energy flow is balanced I'm tryna buy mom a palace I'm working through every hour And I'm taking the power Making magic outta the madness Do what makes you happy fam Don't let nobody keep you down You got the power to change it So do it
12.
I been floating in the heavens What's gravity, just oppression Stretch your mind like Eleven It's strange how things are, I reckon That we could bend it like Beckham Not talking David, not Odell But oh well, meet at the hotel If it goes well, you won't tell I'm into wholesale I don't boast well But I smoke well I make the most Of this great chase, the ghosts Approach me, the goats quote me Stay low key, I don't sleep Up 24 in a row, not joking I want the whole thing Want us all to be kings Focusing on now, just love In the moment It's so golden It goes as it should Appreciate here and now Keep peace, be good I'm out
