A Reminder

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

Woke Up This Mornin' (Work in Progress)
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
Thankful yes I are
Today I feelin’ like a star
Gettin’ set to travel far
Got air condition in my car
Keepin’ me cool
Yeah green smoothie for my food
From my system watch it ooze
To be brought down I refuse
Feelin’ enthused
Yeah, thru my city where I cruise
I rock no socks when I wear shoes
We got nuthin’ left to lose
So we gon’ go for it
If you human can’t ignore it
Said the light is either on or off
No in between seen
On the brighter side of things
Before the flesh a spiritual being
Work my body out my friends to keep it lean
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
Hey I love my girl in her birthday suit
God damn right gotta have that proof
All 100 of it
This how Madgesdiq does it
Wit’ no filter when I cut it
This shit just ain’t gon’ cut it
Slightly different when we dub it
If we have to we’ll unplug it
Ether way
Yeah you probably still gon’ love it
Thru the mud our culture drug it
If not positive then shut it
What you say
Yeah negativity destructive
Had to reconstruct my budget
If I’m rockin’ then I’ll club it
Otherwise I’m probably chillin’
Hear a knock I ask who is it
Opportunity it tells me
Butterflies inside my belly
Like a pro I’m stayin’ ready
Been preparing for this moment
Like Rakim a microphonist
On myself I place the onus straight away
I said a change is comin’ quickly
Got some reinforcement wit’ me
Keep a proper distance from it
If that vibe is feelin’ is iffy
I done seen too much of silly
97 and we giddy
I don’t want if it’s pity
Your support
Current affairs not lookin’ pretty
My religion like I’m Ziggy
In the studio you feel me holdin’ court
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
Remember every step a crucial one
Choice is always life or death
No matter how you choose to see it
Attached to this a consequence
While you makin’ money thru your private banks and Parliament
Hey!
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'
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
06:25
|

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

|

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

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

Time/To Stay Sane
Herb in the mornin’ for my breakfast
A pear from the tree for my lunch
One more toke before I exit
I plan to take the day how it come
Prisoners of time
Though time does not exist
In a real sense
It makes no difference
2 The Most High
Him vibin’ on different clock
No death
Life goes on it neva stops
So mature at your own pace
You ain’t gotta race
No competition wit’ others
Only yourself
2 be the best that you can be
2 set yourselves free
Yo no more runnin’ or stress
Anxiety
Got us missin’ out on most of R lives
Because we runnin’ clockin’ in
Yo checkin’ the hour like every ten
Where I’m at
Where I gotta be
I can’t be late
Got us shackled by R hands and feet by certain date
By a certain month
Certain year
A certain age
What’s age?
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!
Time it really doesn’t know
How I know how I know
‘cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn’t know
Unless it’s with the flow then I suggest you let it go ‘cause . . .
Time it really doesn’t know
How I know how I know
‘Cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn’t know
Unless it’s with the flow then I suggest you let it go
The only thing you need to do is you
If that thing there meant to be
then time gon’ prove it true
So you can stop your worryin’
No need for you to stress
Mistakes they gon’ be make along the way
Just do your best
Pay attention ‘cause it’s sublte
Tell me how it make you feel
Think but not too much
‘cause it might leave you frozen still
Surrender to the current
Get in it like the wind
Take you to a place that you ain’t never thought or been
Where . . . expectations don’t exist
To yourself you can be true
Step outside your comfort zone
to discover sumthin’ new
It’s up to you
Can’t always know the thing before you do
Time it really doesn’t know
How I know how I know
‘cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn’t know
Unless it’s with the flow I suggest you let it go ‘cause . . .
Time it really doesn’t know
How I know how I know
‘cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn’t know
Unless it’s with the flow then I suggest you let it go
Time is pressure
Worry about it much lesser
Bad 4 your health
Full on sprint lookin’ 4 wealth
Got us searchin’ but not 4 our self
Not by our self
but majority
24 hours not the authority
It’s in your mind
4 your soul don’t know the time
Yet it wandereth from place 2 place
Neva in haste
I do agree
That moments we shouldn’t waste
Doin’ things that we do not like
Do what u love
At the moment that it feels right
deep in your heart
Then do it
Natural rhythm get into it
Start 2 move 2 it
Grab a partner and groove 2 it
Set the mood 2 it
Yo! eat your favorite food 2 it
In a nice zone
Don’t even wear no watch on . . . my wrist
Yo! green, yellow, red that’s it
Soon come
I mean no disrespect 2 none
but I’m pledgin’ my allegiance 2 the One
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
I write to stay sane
If not I go crazy
I’m crazy in love with this bug
I can’t shake
Can’t rush inspiration
I sit here and wait
For that next dose to forward
To make itself known
So I can interpret
Record it on paper
Then practice it over and over again
To share it with you people
my family and friends
who receive it
Not just for a hobby I need it
‘Cause without I’m nuts
‘Cause it’s never enough
When you stay wantin’ more and more
Without it I’m cranky
I’m moody, I’m achy
I’m dismal, lethargic, I’m sore
So for survival I write
In the morning at night
Over dinner in place of first meal
Lunchtime, whenever
Wherever
On whatever
Paper bag, notebook or letter
Check!
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

Let the Music Take Control feat. Mz. Etta
Ross Island Bridge feel the breeze
We blowin’ like the wind when it’s blowin’ thru the trees
Full of leaves
Not only what you want but what you need
90 is the tempo 45 the speed
That the DJ gon’ spin on the table
Yes indeed
We freein; up ourselves like they freein’ up the weed
Born in the States but we fleein’ overseas
I’m a self-proclaimed master of the birds and the bees
Suky Suky now
In and out deeply thru the nose how we breathe slow
Jah my inspiration my momma that’s my hero
Touched when I was younger by that movie Less Than Zero
so I never chose to go the other route
Free flow
Let this music take you where the music plan to take you
I know this life can get you down but never let it break you
Things we are attracted to
the things we can relate to
Love is an open door
it will not forsake you
See it as a blessin’ in disguise
So beautiful it is when you open up your eyes
talking all four
1,2, 3, 4
Yo this beat is hard core
Birds soar
Get ya sexy ass on the floor
and . . .
Let the music take control of your body and your soul
Move your body and your soul
Be free and let it go
Let the music take control of your body and your soul
Just be free and let it flow
thru your mind body and soul
Send the ego packin’ if the ego wanna trip
Find your God Self where infinity exist
Ain’t no tellin’ where the flow gon’ land when it drift
Peace of mind and balance at the top of my list
Awaken your consciousness things gon’ shift
The difference between a Jpeg or a tiff
I woke up this morning to a hug and a kiss
plus a little more
Sniff it while the joint get twisted
We lifted
Tap into your sunshine
Make you feel terrific
Probably felt the same way if we ever kicked it
Everything we do in life we do it wit’ intention
To all the details of the script pay attention to
Please forgive me Father for them things that I never knew
In my world miracles they happenin’ like Bantu
Finish line y’all that’s the only thing I’m runnin’ thru
I’m a do the best me ‘cause I can’t do you
Do You
Keep my inner circle to a very few
Change the way you look at things make your life brand new
Hope you do everything in life that you plan to
Keep your heart open be surprised at what it hands you
Follow your dreams not theirs
The things you receive are the things that you share
So we gon’ share more love green everywhere
Hands in the air
Wave ‘em like you just don’t care
and . . .
Let the music take control of your body and your soul
Move your body and your soul
Be free and let it go
Let the music take control of your body and your soul
Just be free and let it flow
thru your mind body and soul
Tap into your sunny place
Let it fill the whole space
Let it put a smile on your face
Tap into your sunny place
Let it fill the whole space
Let it put a smile on your face
Let the music take control of your body and your soul
Since the mind can’t be
Gotta set the soul free
I and I livin’ all about we
Be Free
Since the mind can’t be
Gotta set the soul free
I and I livin’ all about we
Let the music take control of your body and your soul
Tap into your sunny place
Let it fill the whole space
Let it put a smile on your face
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tap into your sunny place
Let it fill the whole space
Let it put a smile on your face
Go, Go, Go
Let the music take control of your body and your soul
Since the mind can’t be
Gotta set the soul free
I and I livin’ all about we
Smoke Tree
Since the mind can’t be
Gotta set the soul free
I and I livin’ all about we
Blessed be the ones . . .
who remain jubilant
Blessed be the chosen few
To thine self be true
The ones that know that music
that music is God’s therapy yeah
Let your mind and your body be free
Be free and let it go

The Fullness

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 . . .)
Simplify and know you are Jah
(Yeah)
More than what they’ve told you so far
(Way more than what they told ya)
Why you make this life here so hard
(Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why)
Free your mind and know who you are
(Know who you are, who you are)
Simplify and know you are Jah
(You are Jah, you are Jah)
More than what they’ve told you so far
(More than what they told ya)
Wake up to the morning dew
Wake up to the God in you
Be careful of the dreams you pursue
Wake up to the morning dew
Wake up to the God in you
Be careful of the dreams you pursue
Wake up to the morning dew
Wake up to the God in you
The one that you be worshipin’ is you
Wake up to the morning dew
Wake up to the God in you
The one that you be worshipin’ is you
