lyrics

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
