A Reminder 01:36
A Reminder… You are everything you desire to be You possess everything you will ever need No one is Greater than you The Power of the Universe is within you To the Sky shall you look no more The only one who can stop you is You With Confidence from this day forward A Supreme version of it when you know it That I am no-thing without you For without you I am just a thought Stagnant (Suspended) without motion It is you that give I life A carbonated vessel filled with light Possessing the power to control the forces of nature A victim you no longer have to be For I am Him, He is I, I am She Eternal life have we found in a tree

I’m on anutha listenin’ to Parliament Geroge Clinton Funkadelic All about them if you let them tell it Hey! Sometimes it pays to be selfish dammit! George Clinton Funkadelic All about them if you let them tell it Hey! Sometimes it pays to be selfish jealous Help myself if I wanna help you Most don’t even have a clue If one plus one don’t equal 2 Then what you say cannot be true What you say must not be true ‘Cause your one plus one don’t equal 2 But most don’t even have a clue But I do Yeah ain’t no tellin’ what might ensue These people here losin’ their minds So I work every day to keep mine do you Yeah this track here got a vibe In one line I summarize I feel like Clyde the Glide The sky is blue I woke up this morning to a vibe It feels good to be alive A work in progress until we thrive For peace and harmony we strive Experience applied will make you wise The soul it never dies If you wanna know the truth look in his eyes The truth you cannot hide I woke up this morning to a vibe It feels good to be alive A work in progress until we thrive For peace and harmony we strive Experience applied will make you wise The soul it never dies If you wanna know the truth look in his eyes The truth you cannot hide Cannot hide Alive We strive Never die I woke up this mornin’ to the blazin’ sun I can tell already it’s gon’ be a hot one Hop right to it got a lot to get done I nod my head to the drum while I’m rollin’ up one Lungs stayin’ young until Shiloh come Alkaline fluid get more oxygen 8.8 on the scale of ph Everything is going great so far Everything is going great so far

Herb in the Mornin' Herb in the mornin’ for my breakfast The breakfast of champions Elite Beat Madgesdiq boy Hey girl Yo! Yo! Hey! I say the moon is peekin’ thru the roof A slice of vegan carrot cake to satisfy my sweet tooth Urban but we keep it roots Smoke at least a j a day to keep dem demons at bay Call upon Jah in the mornin’ Help me keep my vibe right End my life every night Wake up feelin’ brand new Then it’s straight to Takin’ Flight Whatever it is that come your way today It’s gon’ be okay Hey! bring vigor to my routine Blowin’ smoke in fresh air Breathin’ in the same thing When I’m in my flow I go Yes need sleep less And not because a brutha got stress neither Matter of fact I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum A person can only do to you what you let them So I will not let then Don’t you dare let them Bob Marley pure hemp papers be my preference Herb in morning for breakfast A pear from the tree for my lunch One more toke before I exit I plan to take the day how it come I give thanks to the Lord for my life ‘cause he blessed it No longer from myself do I run Soon one day you’ll get the message I don’t do this thing here just for fun I say my prayers in the am To counteract the mayhem That I see spreadin’ all around Yo we in a different time different place Different name different face Still the same things goin’ down What we gon’ do to turn this thing here around Flyin’ high in the sky got my feet up on the ground If you on some negativity don’t bring your ass around Boy the kingdom of heaven at the top of your crown Hear me now Herb in morning for breakfast A pear from the tree for my lunch One more toke before I exit I plan to take the day how it come I give thanks to the Lord for my life ‘cause he blessed it No longer from myself do I run Soon I hope you get the message I don’t do this thing here just for fun Fruit was the original candy Lettuce the original chip Divine was the original language Seeds grew from the words of his lips Faith always comin’ in handy Never for granted take your talents or your gifts A wise man prays for overstandin’ Money alone never make a man rich What you high off of? I’m High off good weed and my life My baby bubblicious so the lovin’ stay nice I’m a say it clear so I gotta say it twice I don’t want to live in hell so I keep Zion in my sight I take a journey thru my chakras to find my inner Christ I stay flickin’ on these switches while they turnin’ off the lights For the life you can’t return boy you pay a heavy price It’s a mantra in the mornin’ I recite Today I renew my vows I reaffirm my commitment I solidify my stance There will be no such thing as I can’t Only I cans, I dos, and I wills I feel a Revelation comin’ on What will it reveal? I feel a Revolution comin’ on Ain’t no time to sit still So forward I move praying that all opposition be removed from my way The cleansing of my thoughts to purify what I say The power that it takes to manifest faith in action is what I pray for Your permission to enter thru that door While yet still alive Increasin’ its probability after death The heavenly bliss that gets obstructed by Set The devil that lives inside I, I pray to overcome as you illuminate my mind thru power of your sun, Ra That I may reach your abode Once again recognizing you, Asar, the innermost High within me The one who remains hidden and unseen but is always there existin’ in all things Indescribable with mere human words A ballpark figure I guess Only fully understood once outside the flesh Shall we connect? Infusin’ my energy with yours The only boat I feel safe to board The only boat I feel safe to board The only boat I feel safe to board

First High 01:22
First High Now that first high . . . is the best high I start my day off right While everybody else is sleeping I meditate read and I write I organize my thoughts When I think about the All When it makes itself available I answer the call Noise at its minimum The first signs of light My inner being is beaming When I usually “Take Flight” Out the window I stare at the rain that falls from the sky to the ground other entities around Some I notice between the trees along with a butterfly, who are they? and what’s the reason for their presence? Or is it enough for me to just recognize the fact that they’re there? That’s what I gotta figure out Or maybe I don’t . . . A first for me I saw ‘em instantly the one with the Native American features appearing as if he’s staring right at me The other two flanked on his side just their heads and faces no interruptions or distractions I travel to different places, without consequence I renew my confidence I’m resting in his Providence for sure

Blessin' in Disguise Yeah Hey yo Architect Turn that bass up a little bit yo Yeah Make ‘em feel it Yep About to take y’all on a little journey back to how your boy used to spit Only this time I’m comin’ on some new and updated ish Some of that Reggae and Hip Hop mixed yo That blend That hybrid Yeah Check it yo Let’s go Everything ain’t always what it seems Never is it black or white but somewhere in between Many shades a grey in this life I have to ponder Let my mind wander somewhere beyond yonder Findin’ in her absence my heart is growin’ fonder Put that shit on pause like a sentence wit’ a comma Lettin’ off some steam like I’m chillin’ in a sauna I keep a safe distance from piranhas wit’ bad karma Hopin’ that I place my faith in Obama Never could I do it out my sky fallin’ manna Who feels it knows it Never take for granted that I’m blessed but it’s vital that I take some time away to reconnect With the source of my blessins’ relax they stressin’ Take a step back while dem pressin’ I’m guessin’ They want me to feel their anxiety No celly, internet, company or TV HD It’s just me and my thoughts Find me in the wilderness I’m lost Same place as I find myself caught at this present moment They wantin’ sumthin’ from me So beautiful is life when it’s not about the money But it’s time Me and my thoughts and my rhymes I’m rollin’ up two joints like Sublime That’s classic Just the other day is when I fasted Stretchin’ out my muscles like elastic Huh! When you lost or broke your phone and find yourself alone don’t moan It’s a blessin’ in disguise When they take away your laptop no internet connect for a week, don’t freak It’s a blessin’ in disguise When they don’t know where you live so nobody droppin’ by no need to hide It’s a blessin’ in disguise When it’s rainin’ outside and your too high to drive just chill Hey it’s a blessin’ in disguise Off the shelf I grab a book self-written by a yogi Take my time to read ‘cause I like to move slowly The same pace I take when you get to know me Entertain myself so I’m never gettin’ lonely True dat! Certain ones they wishin’ they could phone me or bone me Findin’ me on facebook if only I could please all of you I would but since I can’t do it I’m believin’ that I should but you don’t hear me Take some time to disconnect wit’ the world I ain’t ever talkin’ to my children or my girl Don’t trip Take it personal and definitely don’t assume Everybody need some room so they could breathe Take it eazy Not just your pangs but your soul you gotta feed Yo 36 hours just a tease But for me it’s just enough So I’m a take advantage Slowin’ down my thoughts Realignin’ with the planets When you lost all your contacts can’t call nobody to confide It’s a blessin’ in disguise When you come from different worlds and you find out that he lied don’t cry, why? It’s a blessin’ in disguise When you can’t see eye to eye and it’s comin’ to an end don’t be surprised It’s a blessin’ in disguise When your ego had enough and you runnin’ out of pride you alive That’s a blessin’ in disguise I said everything happens for a reason Sumthin’ to be thankful for as long as I’m breathin’ Findin’ sun breaks even during a rainy season If not . . . devastatin’ like Lebron leavin’ Cleveland Heard a knock at the door refuse to answer Not the worst thing without my phone causes cancer Fix myself a meal A bowl of grains yo no big deal There’s a lot that I can do but keep still Never like to force it See I’m vibin’ off a feel They can’t put a label on it so offerin’ no deal but I ain’t trippin’ It’s a blessin’ in disguise Lookin’ for direction from my guide he replied Let them people live they own lives For those who choose to die There ain’t nuthin’ you can do So let it ride Focus on the ones who wanna keep themselves alive For peace and serenity my friends do strive Balance comes from keepin’ everything in perspective Progress only comin’ after all thru acceptance of the situation that you find yourself in Use your time wisely ‘cause it might not come again And if does maybe comin’ in a different form The last thing it told me stay flowin’ against the norm A star is born Yeah Madgesdiq baby When they can’t place you in a box makin’ comments about your locks Don’t stop It’s a blessin’ in disguise If they ain’t hypin’ you a lot thinkin’ that you hot but give you props That’s a blessin’ in disguise When a pen is all you got plus a beat that knocks That’s hip hop That’s a blessin’ in disguise And if he used to be a jock now you blowin’ up your spot Guess what? I’m a blessin’ in disguise Yeah Architect good lookin’ boy Yeah Madgesdiq Elite Beat Yeah it’s that collabo It’s a blessin’ in disguise remix ish Yeah That Reggae that Hip Hop That Funk that Soul That dub that vibe Gettin’ you high even you ain’t puffin’ like me Which you guarantee or I guarantee You know that’s what I’m doin’ Matter of fact I’m a go take me a hit right now We out Peace

Stay High 02:44
Stay High Vibes must stay high When awareness is low Seeds must be raised in order for them to grow A man is often hurt by the things he doesn’t know The chinks in his armor have long began to show That hate is not the answer, Anger is not the way Emotions have slayed many men before today (Chill out) The trap is being set Into it we blindly step Get control of your emotions before you do sumthin’ you regret Everything is out of balance at the whim of the press Exploited by your own who claim they like the rest Maybe once upon time but that time has since passed The connection it has been severed by the things that we amass Kept in slavery by our debts Under control by our fears Our unwillingness to open up our heart-mind and ears Reactionary figures Put under pressure by our peers As prophesied by our seers we in the midst of those years Unable to shift gears You never cease to interfere You wanna start with them but it’s the one in the mirror, You need to start with To increase your bandwidth Unplug for just a moment it will alter your perspective Your solution I won’t accept it I won’t eat your hate for breakfast I offer Love as its replacement without strings or conditions It’s the only chance we got for everything else has already failed I’m aware of who I am and the potential that I possess I won’t be drawn into your emotional vortex I’m not on call I’ll be marching to the tune of Love until Babylon falls There’s no existence without the All The ALL exist in all I must truly love myself before I can truly love y’all I inhale it thru my breath Choosing Love ‘cause it’s best Your heart-mind and soul It’s up to you we must protect That which is sacred, That which is true, That which is yours, That which is you, That which is everything we ever hoped for, Outside the lines exists a whole lot more. Stay High

Peace on Mars What they dangle do not chase So much time you end up wastin’ Time is moving faster like 100 meter races Life is what you make it You want it gotta take it Sometimes I cannot take it The spell come time to break it The point where it all started at My finger cannot place it Life you cannot trace Let’s agree to disagree Ain’t got no time for no debate I received an invitation I’m already runnin’ late The savior wasn’t comin’ so no longer could I wait Startin’ plottin’ my escape Everything was going great Till I fell upon some hard times couldn’t catch a break Yeah, but I was born to create Ain’t no reason left here to play it safe so I shake Went lookin’ found peace on Mars No plane, no train, no cars Quiet place where I get to know God No hell, no guilt, no charge Just me, myself and you Ain’t nuthin they can make you do If it’s false then it can’t be true Just remember everything is you When the walls start closin’ in No push go within Ignorance is the only real sin What I now comprehend If it falls must ascend I’m on my rise once again thanks to them My teachers, my angels From so many different angles Life a complicated matter Web we now untangle Yeah, let’s put an end to the confusion You see it separately you still part of the illusion The war is never over I feel myself gettin’ lighter as I’m crossin’ over I’m drunk like a Sufi master who is never sober Lay my burdens down that’s relief for my shoulders Takin’ on a different form Feelin’ like a new born Higher speed Higher vibe No longer torn I’m coalescin’ with the All in all Another part of me is all I saw Went lookin’ found peace on Mars No plane, no train, no cars Quiet place where I get to know God No hell, no guilt, no charge Just me myself and you Ain’t nuthin’ they can make you do If it’s false then it can’t be true I been feelin’ sorda anxious I’m runnin’ out of patience Get rid of all the riff raff and get back to the basics Project my innermost thru a verse Before you probably see it you gon’ hear it first We livin’ in a holographic universe Quick trip to Mars now we headed back to Earth Find it in the space I hold not just in a church I break the mold to break the curse What you see I see it in reverse What you see I see it in reverse Went lookin’ found peace on Mars No plane, no train, no cars Quiet place where I get to know God No hell, no guilt, no charge Just me myself and you Ain’t nuthin’ they can make you do If it’s false then it can’t be true Just remember everything is you Just remember everything is you If it’s false then it can’t be true What you see out there is you Ain’t nuthin’ they can make you do Be you Just remember everything is you If it’s false then it can’t be true What you see out there is you What you see out there is you Went looking found peace on Mars No plane, no train, no car Quiet place where I get to know Ausar No hell, no guilt, no charge Just me, myself and you Ain’t nuthin’ they can make you do If it’s false then it can’t be true Just remember everything is you Just remember everything is you Ain’t nuthin’ they can make you do If it’s false then it can’t be true Under the sun there ain’t nuthin’ new There ain’t nuthin’ they can make you do If it’s false then it can’t be true Under Jah sun there be nuthin’ new Everything you see out there is really you Yeah, Another Elite Beat Madgesdiq collabo Yeah, this how we do This how we do Check us on SoundCloud or sumthin’ We out

Let Me Heal 05:03
Let Me Heal I need time Time to heal from the wounds that have been self-inflicted by my desire to be alone with myself Away from the noise the chaos, the clatter the ongoing, the senseless the frivolous, the chatter Plus all those other things I have been taught along the way that mattered when in actuality they didn’t But silence to a man is calm to a sea like peace is to a mind uninhibited by time and space Free Free to just be without the influence or distraction of others A chance to declutter All of the mumble jumble The issues I must work thru myself before I’m at leisure to help you thru yours Today I must be selfish Even though the world is becoming more crazy daily There’s nuthin’ I can do to save it For this is part of a bigger picture An evolutionary plan that will take place rather we are here in this form or not For suns become earths and earths become moons and moons become comets and so on and so on Regardless of what, the show must go on Now don’t get me wrong because about my fellow man I do care but there’s an infinite universe out there And the more I get to know it and explore it the more I will bring back to share . . . with those who also have a desire to go there For I cannot share with you that which you cannot see And frankly today, I don’t have the energy or the time it will take to help see Today I must be free Free from all responsibility that has nuthin’ to do with Thee This will be better for we This will do wonders for me ‘Cause a person who has not the time for self cannot get right for you it’s sumthin’ we all must have time at some point or anutha throughout the course of a day to do To keep the proper balance that must be obtained in life to sustain Without stress, without anger or frustration Without comparison, worry, fear or shallow considerations For there’s always sumthin’ else we could be doin’ but what will it yield? Will it be part of the infliction or the thing that helps you heal? For the truth remains tightly concealed until it is revealed to him or her who can move while being still Quieting the thoughts Lettin’ the feelings take over instinctively and naturally creatin’ the things that one day may impact the scene in a positive way Changing the course of destiny if only by a small degree . . . that would be better than nuthin’ you see It’s nice in here Much better than it is out there, unaware So I’m fine And no, this has nuthin’ to do with you I have no problem with you It’s just that I need some time to heal some time to see how I really feel And not how I been conditioned to feel or think or react to what you may do or what you may say or what I should say Today is my day My day to work on me Or should I say allow myself to be worked on by a pair a (of) invisible hands that massage my temple of Solomon helpin’ I transcend to the level of a God If I may use the term so loosely For the presence of a better one at this time now alludes me Excuse me But this I must ask you Are we gettin’ anywhere here Is this conversation really sinkin’ in here? Though it really doesn’t matter if it is or it isn’t because I need time to heal and I’ve made my decision So I step inside of a cocoon, a large room to resume this process of healing Removin’ all toxicity from my being Changing the color of my aura Increasing the distance that it travels Channelin’ my inner Buddha Removin’ the bandages from my eyes that have been blinded by the illusion The root of all confusion Altering my experience immediately So if you would be so kind as to respect my request and give me time to heal I will without hesitation grant you the same favor when the shoe happens to land on the other foot For the world travels in circles What goes around truly does come around Word, power and sound For the moment, I am healed

It’s just anutha page in the book So slow yourself down Take some time 2 look around Look within ‘Cause enjoyin’ this life is no sin Time It really does not exist Time Allowin’ me to flow like this Time Forget about that watch on your wrist Time The only time I know this is it Time It really does not exist Time Allowin’ me to flow like this Time Forget about that watch on your wrist Time The only time I know this is it How I know How I know ‘Cause my soul told me so Time it really doesn’t know How I know How I know ‘Cause my soul told me so Everyday a chance for you to grow Yeah, a chance for you to grow Life has no beginning Love it has no end Life is going on no matter if you lose or win A mixture of the two True definition of a blend Like two lovers making love it’s pure ecstasy we in So much easier is life when we going with the flow If it ain’t you then let it go (Let it go) Not in theory what I know Never get too high or get too low Yo!

Bananas I go Bearing baskets of fruit The ripest you’ll find in the garden That hang from a tree that I cut from a limb Trim it from stem then I share with them . . . who listen intently I doubt those who sent me Dream big I do but I live my life simply Though that right there tempt me I once drove a Bently and felt like the man when I did But that didn’t last long ‘cause the car wasn’t mine Not when you want it but always on time . . . that’s when it appears After all of these years I see nuthin’ has changed but a face and a name Still shackled in chains Addicted to fame Addicted to itches and physical fitness I once was a witness but now I’m hands on Those voices I hear just won’t leave me alone So I write to stay sane If not I’d go nuts To the tell truth y’all probably fuck some shit up It’s my yoga My prayer My peace and my calm My passion, my gift It’s my weapon, my charm It’s all of those things To me everything The thing that I choose over everything else Even those that I love understand what I’m sayin’ Death will come sooner if I shun inspiration So I’m creatin’ the space Got to have it in bunches I write in my head while I’m packin’ their lunches Like a detective I follow my hunches No gloves for ya’ boy but I’m packin’ my punches I’m defending myself I’m wardin’ ‘em off When it’s time to come hard When it’s time to come soft My words are my power And this is the hour for me to share them with the world ‘Cause for years I been plantin’ and tillin’ the soil It’s time to reap harvest My temperature boils My cup overfloweth I bid you drink up Sumthin’ to turn to when life really sucks Grab you a pen Some paper, some time Write what you feelin’ Yourself you can heal Over time if consistent You must be persistent Like anything else it’s a lifetime commitment And I know that it’s hard to let down your guard But don’t be afraid It’s an ointment for scars How we map out the stars How I get to know God To tell the truth y’all it’s my Wizard of Oz So I’m professin’ this now I’m easin’ on down that yellow brick road and I’m carryin’ nuthin’ That might be a load I’m reachin’ my goals Feedin’ my soul Comin’ in from the cold Tappin’ into my genetic code Beast mode… To stay sane

The Fullness 01:35
The Fullness Money is cool But happiness is better Joy is even better than that My thoughts my transportation Peace my destination Ending up in bliss after that Their material won’t fulfill you It will only tease you Chasing after things you can’t catch Their world is made up Of things that aren’t real Be careful not fall into the trap They will lull you to sleep Every chance that they get Hypnotize you Then fuck you while you nap It’s time we wake up To the God that’s within Their religion it will never teach you that That u are the Christ That death is life So of it u don’t need to be afraid At the skyline I stare Myself I prepare On the horizon I envision better dayz Days filled with love Where higher consciousness pervades When man has been freed himself from his own internal cave Thankful for the day that the Lord has made With my aid No longer am I a slave To my lower chakras Or the misinformation That was given to me as a child I’ve been humbled I’ve been shaken I have risen been awakened And for those reasons today is why I smile Because I know who I’m not I know who I am Now all I have to do is just be The God that I see when I’m alone in my room Stepping into the fullness of me

Why You Make This Life Here So Hard Why you make this life here so hard Free your mind and know who you are Simplify and know you are Jah More than what they’ve told you so far You are more than just your body More like mind and spirit Truth will set you free If you know it when you hear it Better when you feel it Wrapped inside a metaphor or parable conceal it Truth, you must come to overstand The spirit is the son of god The flesh the son of man The whole world is in his hands Created in its image inner-stand Listen to your gut It will never lie to you Everything you’ll ever need is right there inside of you The universe a vast one Your power you must tap into Your mind will be the vehicle Your thoughts will be the avenue Your soul that’s the subject That’s the one to satisfy Peace will be the destination Written in the constellation Everything that come to pass If it’s coming from your past You may have to let it pass Oscillating back and forth Some things you cannot force If you have to force it to… then maybe it’s not meant to be for yourself you gotta see the blessin’ that’s in everything Omnipresent everywhere Why you looking everywhere but here Why you make this life here so hard (Why you make it so hard) Free your mind and know who you are (Free your mind get to know who you are) Simplify and know you are Jah (Know who you are you are Jah, you are Jah) More than what they’ve told you so far (Than what they told you so far) Why you make this life here so hard (It don’t have to be) Free your mind and know who you are (It don’t have to be) Simplify and know you are Jah (You’re infinity) More than what they’ve told you so far (Yeah) You are everything you think you are Even what you think you not Life would be so easier if we got to know ourselves But since we don’t we make this life a living hell This way it doesn’t have to be All of this is fantasy Everything is energy What is it that you want from me In search of my divinity Still sometimes you have to be Your vision your reality What I see can’t make you see Emotions spin you round and round Have you going up and down Happiness or sadness when all you want is joy around Make a different choice today If it hurt you yesterday You may have to let it be on its merry way I say Everything it starts with you There’s nuthin’ that you have to do Come to know that which is true All of this is temporary So don’t get attached to it Confidence is necessary Know that you was born do it Always there by your side willingly to help you thru it I and I Why you make this life here so hard (It don’t have to be) Free your mind and know who you are (Free your mind to be . . .)

about

‘Herb in the Mornin’ is inner Meditation radiating outward . . .

Like a Summer Sun on a slow rise, Madgesdiq flows lyrically in a natural reflection on Life. Inner and outer states blend smoothly with deep dub . . . insightful thoughts fuse effortlessly with self-revelatory meanderings that reveal themselves not to be meanderings at all but rather improvisational insights appearing in their own moments.

Breaking the normalcy of isolated tracks ‘Herb in the Mornin’ is one steady deep thought stream of consciousness that leaves the listener entranced within their own thoughts that Madgesdiq’s deep dub rhyme flows inspire!! . . .

A must for all conscious music listeners.
