I'm bubbling
Not enough vents
To release the pressure
I don't trust this world
False and Hidden are the ways
So I remain in the Tao
The Nothingness comforts me
No sight
No sound
No taste
No feeling
No smell
Looking through the prism
of all creation
From my bubble
Created from myself

The stress on my chest
Let's me know I did invest
Something into my heart
Breathing life into this art

Getting use to these sensations
Reverberations of my inner
Bright begins to fill the hole
As I break the mold

From stories that are old
Ingrained and overtold
But the darkness of that night
Adjusted me to the light

For when I hold both
Each in the palm of a hand
All is revealed
The grandest plan...

I want to be naked and against your skin
Never thought just being touched could do so much
A high no drug can create
Your touch is in my bones
That's why I hurt when you go away
But it's a beautiful pain
Reminding me that this is real
And it's to be appreciated
The moments I roam and caress your curves with my body
That gentle zephyr against my chest when you sleep
But the best thing of all?
Saying I love you and truly meaning it with every fiber of my being
Even if it hurts me
I want you to be the one who does it

I want to love my voice y'all
Learn to be me
I can see everything
Except how to be free

In my own skin
Around my own kin
This **** is crazy
One the factors why I don't have a baby

I wanna show them
Real love from the heart
The thing that stays together
When you fall apart

Hold on to it
But learn to let it go
When both can feel right
Then you'll know

You often feel it before you see it
Knowing before you knew
There is nothing in the Void
Open it to the world and let the light pour in

I understand that
I can't please all of you
all the time
So all I can ask you is this...
If your gonna hate me
Hate me for the truth
That I am
Not the lies
That I might be

I have felt it
That flow that nature follows
In my feet darken with earth
Upon my hands the wind lays
Through the light that burns my eyes

I have seen it
In actions of man
Instincts of animals
Patterns in the clouds
Within myself

They say I'm too quiet
I don't speak enough
My stance too clear
My choice so rough

Cultivated through the fire
My soul and desire
Battered by people, friend and foes
Always throwing shade at this average Joe

I find flaws in here and in all of y'all
Born upright but bound to fall
Stand tall but a little bend in your step
A little more weight to add to your rep
Want a feeling to give to the people
Give 'em equal before I give them the sequel
Most can only handle one thing as time
Just pour tequila in the glass
Just give me a lime
No need for the salt
It's late and your fault
That was your one ticket to get in my vault
Been locked out
Time to reroute
Please know what your about
I'm about soul and rhythm
Personal creeds
Putting my spirit wants above my physical needs

I know it drives you crazy
But when I have a baby
It's the one thing
That keeps me from the lazy

I see you in your feeling
So just be who you be
Know the sensation
Learn how to be free

So please be familiar
With places and all the stones
You'll need the all the info
When you caught up in those zones

This is a celebration
You are who you are
Hittin' for under par
Lady you are a star

I want the type of fame
That's everlastin'
A dope rhyme
Feel the rhythm and passion

Hey

Do you mind
If I feel you anytime of day
Running on my thoughts
Every kind of way

Please

To inform these people
Let me form the word
Life is more than
The old script and the paper

All I did was get high
Then watch the world turn
Baby it's real
I felt my soul burn

You show me your form
But leave out your function
That comes later
After a dinner or a luncheon

Trading our stories
Sharing our facts
The image is clear
Now to relax

Brick by brick
The mortar we lay
The hands are our lives
We live everyday

So please take care
Of the actions you take
They are the blocks
Of the life we create

I'm afraid of being sober
I'm afraid of being over
I see the right path
But I give it the cold shoulder

Mama said you doing right
Yet it feels so wrong
I can't speak it in words
But I can spit it in song

From the day the Lord makes me
To the day the Lord takes me
No feat on Earth
Will bend but not break me

So go ahead and forsaken
It will not take me
My hands and my word
I will make thee

True in all forms
Feel the whole planet
I see the cure and curse
Be like "******"

Step
       by
          Step
                 We
                      dig
                          and
                                We
                                    dig
                            down
                    down
            down
            into our own well of despair
Scattered
                                              thoughts
Never
             hold
                       together
                                         long
But somehow
It all comes back
Nice and neat
Tucked in rows
Wrapped in bows
It is a duality
                             Light     Dark
                             Day       Night
                             Love     Fight

         You need to know both halves to enjoy the whole

I hope it's love you
Receive
Like the feeling
Of gifts on Christmas eve

Mighty soul strength
You would be wise to notice

Holding power in my thoughts
Anyone who is weak
Knows they stand no chance
In time

In time
Surrender your mind

Striking at the core
Turning your world blank
Revealing your true self
Only when you believe in you
Not in the outside
Gaining something much more

My hands
My hands are capable
Of anything
I feel them surge

It is fire
That does not burn
But excites
The vision is bright

Using them to expand
Beyond limits of normal man
I seek a new sphere
Conquer the fear

Intelligent reflected
Harmony and Song
I am the balance
Right and the Wrong

Hatred
Just like
Happiness
Is self sustaining
Remember that

When people don't know
They
Wonder
Guess
And/or
Assume
Remember that

There is something in me
Long forgotten
Yet it pushes and pulls
Always reminding me

This solidarity is coming to an end
I have walked this path enough
For I have found what I seek
Now to open my eyes

But I must warn you
Things won't always be gentle
In order to grow
First you must burn away

Just ask the forest and the land
Just ask the trees that sprouted from the ashes
Just ask your favorite island
They have danced with the fire

As will I
But not to harm or repel
But to warm and inspire
Myself and my space

I feel an energy
I need the synergy
I want the remedy
I heard the melody

Soul vibin
Cold riding
For my people
I can't have an equal

The pressure on my shoulders
Helps me lift boulders
All apart of the plan
Makes me a better man

I use the light to break the curse
Heaven's water quench the thirst
Digging in my mental purse
Searching for my own worth

In-between the notes
I find myself

In the midst of hope
I find myself

In the depths of the dark
I find myself

In the deepest spaces of my heart
I find myself

I find myself
In this beautiful art

When life comes apart
I find myself

Between right and wrong
Left of what's right
Ultimately subjective
Reasons are your own
Reasons are my own
Yet you wonder why we fight

Ears
Loud can move a crowd
But whispers move mountains

That thing
We all feel
But can't explain
I believe in that

Search for a space in the sound
Insert another sound
Watch them grow
Become more profound

Moments that last
Even after your gone
Ringing of the bells
Restless children
Yearning for the day to come

Cracking the horizon
Happiness fills the air
Rampaging feet thumping
In a chaotic mass
Searching for it
THE GIFT
Memories that last
A Merry Christmas
Savor the time

Intelligent movement for the masses
Gotta reach em now before time passes
No line between the classes
Warfare in the home
No peace in your dome
Wanna build that Rome
In a week
And at the peak
That beacon of hope
Not dope used to cope
Gotta have a firm grip on that slippery *****
Called life and strife
Don't use the knife
To bring on that permanent night
That tunnel of darkness
Home of the demons and heartless

Humbleness is greatness
Underated and debateless
My master taught me well
In that cell is hell
Laying burdens to your mind
Infected over time
Teach the youth the truth
Yell it every time in the booth

I try and try to hold
once more
But this is
different
                     "Let go..."
Like an owl spotting his meal
in the night
I strain to find the source
     "Let go..."
As clear as a cloudless
sky it rings
This time
Louder.

Begin with negative energy
Allow it to flow into the light
Let it turn into action
Actions directed towards positive
Never hold it in
Cause the result
Explosive in most cases

I feel the pain of today
To see the light of tomorrow
That's why I feel the shine
In the time that borrowed

Yes I know sorrow
Like you learn these lines
If we connect
Then I know your mind

Can you see the in-betweens?
Those brilliant ashen hues
In the space flanked by happy and blues
I call them God's little clues

Wanna hang in the river
Wash away with the stones
I feel the sensation
Deep in my bones

I've seen people spit
With a verbal velocity
To describe these atrocities
That claim our youth

Don't step in this booth
If you can't accept the truth
We speak in rhythm and pain
When our people are slain

Use that same s*
To claim power and fame
It's lame
Don't wanna play that game

So please my people heed these words
In the way that I say
Stay focused on the process
It'll be ok

Struggle is magnified
When you near the light
Fatigue says "Quit!"
When you need to fight

Alright
I've been rambling on and on
Need to chill
Save the rest for my favorite songs

Once again we have arrived
This same beautiful moment
Feeling the universe alter in my presence
Allowing me to
Amongst the starry night of my mind
Where new horizons await

My heart is fluid
I know my composition
I throw rhymes down
I call it an affliction

My soul is water
I can hold any position
The words that I spit
You know is ****

Yea

The minds that I rip
The time that I grip

I had forgotten myself
Lost in the stars
Wandering in the spaces of my reality
Feeling connected
Feeling isolated
All in the same inhale
Blended in the exhale
Forging my spirit cost me time
But it has given me forever
Forever me
Forever true
I have woken up to a new view

I really love the way
You calmly speak your mind

Hey you
Yeah you
Are you contemplating?
What do you see?
In your eye
I see me
Looking better
Then what I could be
This feeling
Sure is nice
Looked in the other eye
So I could feel it twice

Running makes me happy
The kind that's monotonous and sappy
The one way to understand
Is to take a trek through the land
The sun on your skin
Your health you win
I love running
Why?
I love that high....

I was born with no block
Born inside the wind
Knew well the losing
Had to learn to win

For you I do this
You know just who you are
You took me from blackness
Turn me into a star

For you my love
I grew into a man
For you precious
I do the best I can

So believe when I say
For you I stay the same
You see the calmness
But you don't want the flames

I'm buzzin.....

Harness both sides
Always walking the line
Resting in the process
Much that is lost
Only to return differently
Now you understand
Your part of a great whole

There's no promise for you
My black man
Feels like my life is ****
Through black sand

Undirected and unprotected
Yet selected
I feel rythm through words
Sending my song up high through birds

You see the sensation
Yea my proclamation
To give you information
Stop wasting in the basin

Listen girl
I don't wanna stress you
I just wanna learn
And undress you

So know that this is tangible
Giving you time that's mangable

I walked through the door from my own ignorance
To find the stars awaiting me
Laughing and asking me what took so long
I simply replied
I cried and I died
The growth soon came after
So did my ride
But I wouldn't call it pride
Just Inside

When they come
Out the sky or inspiration
Rescuing or crushing
Deity or demons
Sum of the 5 or the 6

Living
In an attempt to be light
Forging through the darkness
Enjoying the journey to the next phase

They always seek out
Relentless in pursuit
Unearth spiritual gold
The masses will follow
Holder of the flame
