When I look around, I always learn something, and that is, to be always yourself
And to express yourself, to have faith in yourself
Do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate himLike, they always copy mannerisms, but they never start from the very root of his being
And that is: how can I be me?
Self, Self, Self, Self
Self
What up?
Self
What up?
Self
What up?
Ok envision a pyramid of discovery
Drowned in a lotus pond with various blossoms
"Awesome. Now then, what the fuck that got to do with me?"
Idkg, I be wavy
How we stay free?
Being without a block on the seeing
I was invisible
Near the seventh tier but leaving
I took a stance
My ability to break a trance is developed
She seen something different in him, she just couldn′t tell what
It's almost like he fell up, or maybe he flew down
Same kid from that small town wit a new crown
Doing it like it′s natural
Stomping like a kappa do
One step, two feet
Finesse a new round
I meditate till I'm Ali in the jungle
Peace in action
Slide on you with traction
The eloquence, imagine
The lil engine that could going from niggahood to Godlyhood
Even if you can't dig it man, you probably should
A lot of schemes on the spirit not just halloween
The disharmonious have difficulties in their dreams
That nigga tap his temple trying to figure what it means
He forgot he told his self not to spill the beans
Self, Self, Self, Self
Self
What up?
Self
What up?
Self
What up?
KZA Kemetic the presence
I got a melanin complex
They gone name a solar system after me actually
You see my alkaloids reacting to the smoke
Mary ain′t a joke
Some of my friends too young to know the truth so I talk with the ark
It′s like Jamal Crawford's shot
I′m Bodhidharma with a new martial art
Them hidden colors found in the dark bring you the light
Genius ain't measured by some school district marks
Baby go head, show the universe a champion
The 144000? It can′t be them!
Young mastered the pen, comma and ampersand
Eyes open reflecting the starry ceiling and the fan
Mata yo ga akereba owakare
Yume wa tooki maboroshi ni
Anata wo oikaketeita hikari no naka de
Dakareru tabi
Atatakai kaze wo tayori
Sunlight starlight
F5 refreshing renewal
That expanding stretch like a leader thru a loophole
The levanter gave him a chance to blow
He put a message in the sandstorm from the soul
People need to know the throne of God
They throw rocks at his side, debris collides
I cliff note it in blood
DNA wise
She adjust her harp strings
I hear what her heart sings
Holy spirit beautiful offspring arrives
When a second was a sound bite to a heartbeat and the moment mattered
Before the house nigga, the massa, and religious pastor
Youth from the pasture graduated out the garden to James Harden
You couldn't ask a man what it cost him
I hide a gem in his coat
He′ll find it when he's woke
Throwed in his north face now, but his threads still dope
But with the right view and the right thought and the right speech, watch
You'll see a transformer on the tuck
Something humongous shrunk, whoa
Mata yo ga akereba owakare
Yume wa tooki maboroshi ni
Anata wo oikaketeita hikari no naka de
Dakareru tabi
Atatakai kaze wo tayori
My path not popular but it′s noble
Totally within rhythm
Martyr mogul beyond global
Original ways today′s trends
He needs grain, it's harvest
He able in his season, but he need Cain
I never trip off the gladiators, or so called validators
Biting on every toss, a point guards alley-gators
Have you noticed since the solstice? Slow down
I′m in pure awareness not physically bound
In tune and all around
Hinoki kata yori ni
Kimi ni mita hana no kaori katami ni
Musubi yuku michi areba
Mata kaeri mi mu
Nagare ruru namida tome
Soka
Netsu-ru
She wanna understand how the world is in my hands
She skim my universe so I enlighten her skin
Baby you gotta dig deep if I'ma dive deeper
We like a synchronized creature
Olympians from Giza
She nodded wit the shit
Girl real quick
Even just for a bit
I tell the water something she′ll never forget
She responds with a tidal wave
I reply with the gist
I go, "Maata is sweet
Bismillah ir rahman ir raheem"
Suddenly I feel a freeq
I had that truth that Dame has in him. We the same
Like me and Cam, me and Dame, we the same
But I wanted to learn this technique that Jay got
You can see the root of his soul power with a glance at his grandmother
Doesn't it look like she has a brother?
TJ reminds me, not to worry bout what man might say
Talking bout the problem ain′t living by faith
Just got a call from Mama
Auntie passed, it's raining
Send my cousin my love I'm outside praying
Raw papers blazing
Humbly patient this what I live by
Circumstances stand no chances
I′ve always been known to get mine
Turning in a spiral to Charizard from Spyro
Watch an elephant trainer who been zooin′ it for awhile
The tribe a perfect sphere
Unity, energy, life and the woman we usually like
The black goddess of light
Never lose my Buddha nature on the stage we call reality
Mimicry isn't mastery
Don′t fall victim to flattery
He's in his house of learning not bothered by a bloody eyeball
You couldn′t intrude without getting singed by a firewall
Soul brotha understanding
Right on
Parselmouth with positive polarity
The mic strong
Give her an anaconda
Make her mamba
Get my python
From a past life in Taiwan like a padawan of Qui Gon
He need a fortune
Point him to a path of concentration
There's 5 doors to desire
5 forms of emancipation
Find me melting ore
Removing any extra substances
Undisturbed by motherfuckers and whoever they coming wit
I was bout to bring the hook in but I′m already cooking
Freeing on a sofa when the honey start looking
Using the first law as a sage would and giving freely
Like I ain't the one who had everything took
And had to transfigure a street curb into a cushion, damn
I know somebody is feeling me
Lost in an infinity within a larger infinity
Sharing imagery
Precision bordering symmetry
I'm in the mood to fuck shit up honestly
Grant 100 million dollars to my people
Crash the whole economy
Eugene′s birth an anomaly to modern medicine
I guess there′s levels then
The sun is heaven sent
I love rap music. You know, I LOVE IT! But I'm tired of defending it
Because you got to defend rap music, man
Because people always say, "That′s not music, that's not art, that′s garbage!"
And in the old days, it was easy to defend rap music
It was easy to defend it on an intellectual level
You could break it down, intellectually, why Grandmaster Flash was art
Why Run-D.M.C. was art, why Whodini was art in music
You could break it down intellectually, okay?
But it's hard to defend this shit. It′s hard, man. It's hard...
But if the beats alright, she gone dance all night
He got two 15s that make that bass kick hype
Why the Love and Hip Hop episodes always bout a fight?
I'm starting to think the tv got something against the mic
Unless the control is white
And bet for niggas who love nigga moments, trapped in a niggas life
So what′s it really like?
H-I-P H-O-P
It′s magic
Black to the blackest degree
An ancient art
OG expression
The revolution
Correction, the evolution
The nightmare that Lynch had stressing him to write his letter
Homie tricked us it was clever
Though he knew we had one better and would pay for it forever
Industry devils replaced the real with the fake
I looked satan straight in his iris when I just said no thanks
That's why my pillars are not the regular mainstream raps
You clowns wack
I′m bringing Soul Umoja back wit the facts
Take that, take that
I'ma take it high
Then, we gone see from there
I like the view here
And I′m rocking a new pair
Ouu yeah
Destroying the beast from the inside out
Word to MIB
We blast then we ride out
9 to 5 light work
Shredding copies in the office
Talking that same shit they got X for
The same reason I'm next for
Before they kill me I′ll murk the man 1000 times
Defend originality with stylish rhyme
Be blessed moor
Cam go stupid like he forgot he supreme
The mask the mirror
The mirror the screen
Who got the black king dissing the black queen?
It's chess not checkers g
Wu-Tang in my veins
2pac especially
Thug Life
It's hard to defend, "Move Bitch (Get Out the Way)."
Well, as you can see, there′s a bitch in his way, that he needs to move!
Thus, the term, "move bitch, get out the way"
You need to open YOUR eyes so you can get the bitches out of your way!
So fucked up, the whole world′s fucked up, man
It's time for the holidays in a lot of ways
Not just cause the date
Maybe you can relate, you know, with the snow thats on the way
I didn′t write to Santa
Hello wintertime bae
Thought I seen you the other day but o'girl was a fake
My students ain′t get the full lesson before break
Nobody's mistake
The class commences at the pupils rate
You sent love throughout the year that I appreciate
This cards a token
Cash it in after you fold it open
My thoughts wander to your setting and slide in your bedding
It′s chilly but somehow I'm sweating
I breathe in your essence
The day I dedicate to Aishat, Mama Earth
Tomorrow I'm back on the grind, going vert
Have you been staying on yo yoga?
Forgive me for the summertime I couldn′t make it over
The coach bag you said went missing, did you find it?
Them chakras I was telling you about, are they aligned yet?
Theres a fish fry on the 9th but I need to see my honeydip on the 19th
I got grapes for you, you gone like these
Tis the season, the spirit is in the air
Are you still leaving your job? I know you hate it there
Be detached from results, that′s ascension love
I'm not playing either but I might have did some drugs
There′s no fluoride in my toothpaste
Can you tell the difference?
Niggas trippin as usual
I'm focused on the mission
Growing in knowledge and knowledging wisdom
Manifesting thanksgiving feasts as everyday living
I′m working this part time job, the whereabouts hidden
My nieces and nephew deserve blessings I wanna afford to give them
The gift that keeps on giving
That's been on my mind for a minute
As of late I′m trying to win it
Everything spinning like vinyls on records
I still owe you breakfast
There's an intense inner urge for your connection
I dare you to say you haven't felt my energy embrace you
I seen our chemistry. scene a holy nativity
I hope this is your taste boo
Savor the secret
Good things on the frequent
Peace and love I means it
