They say ignorance is bliss, but our fingerprints on this It’s time to think a little bit before we sink in the abyss Why you think that we exist? Or have you even wondered? To lead a life of love or just to stack a bunch of hundreds? Of all the points in life this might be one to reconsider At the rate the world is burning ain’t much time to reconfigure This picture is much bigger than me & everyone I know So I’m asking for support from everyone in Ohio they say our states for lovers, & here I was born & raised attended the biggest party school but I’m torn from the craze admit the thoughts that brought me here were all born from the haze these days I’m opting for a clearer mind cause I’ve got more to say my dreams of what we could be, would be, should be are quite lofty most folk who’re steady ‘goin hard’ will probably call me softy I’m steaming with get up & go, just like a pot of coffee so I’ma sit up & flow & speak the Truth til someone comes & stops me I spy misaligned spines simply wasting time why ya’ll miss divine signs I’ma chase sublime confess the picture’s picturesque if Grace can trace your line so be here now unwound allow the sound embrace the rhyme The insanity of humanity sure needs a quick soulution to war famine disease economies & sick pollution our world is cooking in fear kitchen – let me stick the truth in only when you are fear ridden will your pain get any soothing our potential is exponential but our culture keeps us trapped so much so that some listeners probably think I’ve snapped the Truth is that you’re not your mind – meditate & adapt find out who you really are instead of chasing outer crap we’ve been conditioned to obey & to question very little falsehoods are so ingrained in our brains the Truth becomes a riddle we ride through life with lights out – a purposeful padiddle it’s a long road out of darkness please come meet We in the middle don’t claim to be the saviors but at least we’re speaking up to help change our behaviors cause it seems we’re bleak & stuck most folk say ‘know thyself? That’s shit’s a joke, rather be streaking drunk’ or ‘I’m young, it’s fun, go blow thyself, I’m geekin blowin funk’ I spy misaligned spines simply wasting time why ya’ll miss divine signs I’ma chase sublime confess the picture’s picturesque if Grace can trace your line so be here now unwound allow the sound embrace the rhyme you see I’m not a tight ass critic, just believe in moderation I’ve done a ton of drugs & trust me there are cooler stations – smoke DMT guess it’s cool to wreck our brains, so much so now we’re racing! knew some kids back at OU not even drunk with half a case in fifteen beers? Whatchu chasing? spend the whole prime of your lives just getting wasted? disgracing our generation? Ignore the fate that our nation is facing? cookie cutter kids quit tracing I do this music solely to encourage more expression to teach people to love themselves & lessen all the stressin the world is in our hands, should be evolving not regressing! we must stand up united & free the world from this depression see it’s easier today than it ever has been in the past any movement can cross the planet in a flash we’re spiraling out of control & kinda sinkin fast please help this Love go viral, bump the Truth instead of trash

Lucid Dreams 04:56
Since 9/11/91 felt like I've been a hybrid and everytime I close my eyelids i'm reminded of a place beyond the tangible, so far to reach where i create like Michelangelo, my art is me Good morning to reality, now i can hardly see Why am I not allowed to be the one True part of me? The things thats so important to you, they just aren't to me. Some days just wanna leave my body and just start to Be But this my place for now, must show my face around Athens is my city, man do I embrace this town I FUCKING LOVE this place, and that still understates, Feel like I'm under weights, and still the thunder waits... ----- Yet I will never blunder, Most people doubt themselves, me, I don't even wonder We let the man put asunder, sure wish more could see our Oneness All the gods are right so it ain't right to say which one is If parts of the past were undid, wouldn't wonder where the fun went instead we work all day til free time comes, by then we're done spent this dumb rent is exorbitant, who plotted these coordinates? was talkin drugs on the phone.... think that they recorded it? Why do stores exist when we just sit at home and order shit? The boat to misery set sail EVERYBODY boarded it Boy is it so torturous, our forests are all orchardless Some horses shit, my torch is lit, took my dream and exported it! Hope they're hoardin it, not distortin it any sunny day in Athens you can bet i'm longboardin it but for now it's stormin and these people are all bored and sick my life look like I took pure DMT and straight snorted it Google that acronym, go explore a bit Find a dark room with a cushion put it on the floor and sit, meditation ain't to mainstream yet buuuuuut, my alliance breaks the silence My aura's ocean blue, same color as my iris Lover of the highest, degree, I see Everything in me, through my third E-Y-E You see, I CAN BE, WHAT THE EYE CAN'T SEE How absurd times three, solution is denial. Evolution is our destiny to live in supreme ecstasy and lyrically this ain't close to the best of me so guess you'll see ME... Goin viral with more flow in me than nile and my crew goes hard as tile tell me why you hardly smile puttin each idea on trial Are you scared of the truth? Think I'm a sayer like the sooth? Or just as dense as the enamel in the layers of my tooth? (the next few lines are a Billy Madison reference) Walk up the stairs to the stoop, with a flare n some poop Like billy reliving his youth, drunk on gin and juice like snoop Cause these crazy penguins danglin from the tree of life nterferin, engineerin every seed of strife so we smoke weed for life, only thing that stops the negative this pressure that i'm under crushin, feelin like my leg'll give Doctor King once said no man can't ride you 'less your back is bent Martin Luther was a trooper, his tactics were dead accurate STAND UP! Take a few minutes to stretch, See me i'm in it til death, in like a dentist on meth Dennis the Menace my Apprentice mister Wilson the target Got the skill of an artist, and the will of the martyrs But my death ain't necessary, though my purpose esoteric Makin moneys secondary, writin like a secretary Hope you're relieved, that I'm not generic Sacred geometry is Universal Numerics From outerspace, ionospheric Ball like Jeter but I don't know Derek Heart like Peter, the Saint not Jennings, The human race is a bunch of lemmings Misled in Spirit til we start condemning Cause they hide the source from where the problems stemming. And we're sippin Starbucks all the way to the grave and this bar kinda sucks when you make minimum wage Full of venom and rage, cause we're stuck in a cage Evolution is a novel and we're stuck on this page. Read ahead to the next chapter yes I've mastered this stage. So i'ma just climb back into my bed and lay and dream

nineteen years gone by in an instant first time I left realized I’d be fenced in my ambitions been steadily climbin since then this man’s mission keeps my mind stuck inventin & so I write to you so you can see thru the confusion out of my wits making hits keeping hope that they’re all bruising so you see thru the illusion & their method of intrustion keep fear so infused in we’re scared to try for fear of losing break free can’t break me take me to another plane embrace the chase, most can’t face the taste of a mind free of pain wake me make me see I’ve been trained to be contained, ‘sane’, fit inside their frame heart resides beside a flame, promise that I’d die for change honest yeah I’ll try the fame – our message is a relic from a time that was angelic feed new life like the umbilic & I vow to give it freely, this world it truly needs WE these spineless fiends be brainwashing mindless screens see the Truth will set you free, mean that from my deepest part so beware of those who claim God but truly have the cheapest hearts said the Truth will set you free, mean that from my deepest part so beware of those who claim God but truly have the cheapest hearts

I’m seated seeing CNN & all I sees a bunch of puppets their orchestrated actions seem like I’m just watching Muppets elite be planning genocide over some tea & crumpets I truly love this country & it sucks to see it plummet see scenes like columbine I’m tryna find where all the Love went work on bringing Light but seems like all minds set on sunset keep my hope alive although some nights I do get upset our brains can be Blu-Rays while yall insist on staying cassettes Obama needs to talk to Dalai Lama out in Tibet Peace Love & Compassion’s much more useful of a skill set seems to me that power just makes cowards want to kill shit Bush knocked down the towers, let the people really feel it let’s conduct some terrorism, best part we’ll conceal it! & laugh at all the silly psychos that try to reveal it keep the people chasing money hoes cars & clothes give them funny shows & take freedom from right under their nose not the life we’ve chose & it’s not our destiny most are just too stressed to see, I promise that Real Life is ecstasy it’s time to take a stand hope you feel pressed to be next to we show dissent, don’t be acting like you’ve had a vasectomy We deserve equity – not engineered apathy please share this with the world, do ensure it spreads rapidly sit silent then we’re guaranteed more violent catastrophes cause the White House & above’s really where all the assassins be

as fires smolder tired souls are growin older & colder this life's a crushin type a trip but bet we'll shoulder the boulder scold her and mold her like a soldier skilled at followin orders we're sleeping through our waking states just skilled at swallowin foldger's while deep in sleep i've reaped the fruit of lucid heaven sent dreams and seeked the speak the peak of Truth with a benevolent team to clean this evident greed, poor puppet president scenes restore the story of our glory fuck irrelevant screens farthest from the hardest artist just a young college boy your food for thoughts got tarnished garnish we preach Love, Knowledge, Joy speakin Light to bleach the night and put the Peace in the pipe got Heart like Jesus Christ the season's right for seizin the hype i'd say the way to the charts has marked the fate of the art the way our days are so dark has put a weight on my heart this mystic’s mission is a magic mix of tricks & slick decisions time to fix our intuitions - inner vision breaks prison you see it’s just a simple fact that this life is what we make it lost control of our souls our cultures got us mistaken those thought vultures are real clever so don’t ever let them break in rise and shine these words are foldger’s to take in and awaken as time unwinds my mind defines the nature of these blatant signs of blatant lies – the impieties of societies it seems they’d rather let us die at ease than find we’re truly deities this Truth inspires me to energize all who are tired & weak conspired to seek the secrets of reality I’ve tried to speak but like hide & seek most flee until the timers reach… zero while countin down most doubt & frown instead of backing down consider scoutin out a path around I’ll act a clown, mind in space but Self attached to ground this tracks profound – we’re pushing weight but never maxin out the facts can vouch – this worlds a dangerous wonderland so keep three eyes wide open & expect the strangest plans it’s hard to care but be aware this life is stranger than fiction there’s a reason that these rich rapists all seem strangers to diction we’ve been conditioned to accept – they’ve prearranged how we listen to make the stars the ones with cars bragging bout brains in the kitchen so please refrain from the dissin – start to complain bout what’s missin each day I train for this mission – cause I see pain where I’m livin there’s disparity, no charity – most just claim to be givin fuck being lame & real livid my only aim’s to be driven my soul has been untamed & my vision is vivid my decisions to live it got way too much brains to be timid this is my destiny so take the best of me til I rest in peace & our recipe is the best indeed so keep testing We cause the stress just feeds the needs to plant cerebral seeds to expose those evil deeds songs composed to make the feeble see just how obscene TV screens really seem to me & so I dream to be universal, disperse these verses without becoming commercial this life is a circle – what goes around comes back I give my heart to you so please go share these tracks

it’s been so loud inside your head those incessant thoughts keep pressin stressin like an adolescent so you drink some more depressants this life’s a game & to be a contests you best be present despite the fight start playing right you’ll see the light is incandescent if you ain’t an actor then you’ll never be a factor plow through info like a tractor trackin national disasters – natural disasters tearin thru drywall and plaster unemployment’s climbing faster all enslaved to the same master – TRAPPED – and this is how it’s meant to be? fear corruption & greed is all we’re meant to see? But you see to me a great change is inevitable – hear to speak the Truth while yall put “change” on a pedestal - lames keep your pedals still I’ma tour thru France like Lance – illuminate dark where I glance consuming hate sparks ignorance so while elite ignore us ants explore your soul right now’s your chance the world is caught up in a trance someone tell me that I’m dreaming working all week just to go waste it on the weekend got a thing for Doctor King & I’ve been wondering where his dream went somehow we’re still treadin but we’re headin for the deep end who can we believe in? these sheeple sitting silent so I guess I gotta speak then see, the truth is the youth is lost at sea more worried bout their B.A.C. than philosophy now this is awfully stressful as we wrestle with these problems tryna solve em hollering purify this cesspool! certain I’m a vessel for spirit that’s eternal spendin time inside my mind I’m not too worried bout external kind of like a turtle, a blastoise among squirtles & my path is clearly paved the rest are sprinting jumping hurdles true you do what you do & to each his own just tryna spread what I’ve read so I don’t teach alone living on the top shelf don’t gotta reach Patron my life is easy cause God helps so I’m just preaching poems & I’m lovin all the people though I don’t even know em but I owe em I can show em & I know seeds are sowin while I’m flowin & their sprouts clear out the doubts words rain on their brains blotter spouts water droughts work on bringing some peace to share the fruits of the Earth you thinking Gucci (mane)’s a beast then you’ve been zooted since birth but ignorance is bliss & money’s all that matters right? never seen a sadder sight, music needs more Gladys Knight folks with heart & soul, not the heartless & cold souls sold for apartments, a few chart hits & gold so my part is to show this is a world disguised despise their lies & grow wise or see our worlds demise they hear me speaking soul & they’re probably pissed & plottin hits sure hope I don’t get shot & split but God is on my side in this my eyes is on the prize & it’s for love to come inside & fix the lies & tricks bad guys are sick my eyes are fixed as I just spit the truth – share it, confide in it this is the way it is, but why is it? that millions have to die & shit got AIDS, swine flu & viruses, prescription pills in sinuses loves as rare as kindness is & hate is on the minds of kids this blind mindlessness is sick
