It’s costing you patience, testing your strength when You’re the leader that’s holding the load for your nation Upholding your laws, they’re golden they’re sacred Faith activation, you know when you make it You still roll no matter the toll you’ve been faced with You paid it, flesh bones this road is paved with This life that we live, we chose the vocation We’re called to it, like a rose called through the pavement Called to it, like a brush called to the painting Wounded in battle, we’ll crawl and we’ll make it We dig beneath the surface, trawl information Knowledge, we gain it, no opportunity wasted Problems we face it, resolve with no hatred Walk calm amidst, the storms of relations Locked arm and arm, we’re stronger when linked in Your own mind’s the weapon, be armed, and tenacious Any braces, placed upon you, break them Man seeks freedom, wasn’t meant to be chained in Remove the blindfold, your brain is awakened You’ve now entered the lodge, of your lumination Metamorphosis change, for self-liberation The old self must die, and face it’s extinction Victory is mine, behold it and taste it The old self must die, and face it’s extinction Resurrect your self, a new incarnation A discipline, tested, deserves coronation The road less travelled, the self undertakes it But every road that’s blazed, has been undertaken With eyes open, many have still not awakened Break free, resist the hold of the slaveship They’ll lure you with gold to a life of enslavement Break free, chrysalis, unfolding in stages Break free, nothing can hold you, break it Emerge from your shell, I told you you’ll make it Wing span expands behold your creation Teach others, do not withhold information Find others with wings, and roll in formation There’s no need for waiting, your soul is the savior Break free, nothing can hold you, break it Break free, nothing can hold you, break it :::Martin Luther King, Jr.::: I will break free… (repeat) Of racism Of self-sabotage Of not standing up Of not speaking up Of going with the masses To conform for what? Of not turning off the tube studying the books Of judging people’s characters by the way they look Of always sticking to the script playing by the book Of not eating real food just to power up Of being in a rut Of given my money and time and thought to companies that don’t give a fuck… I’m a break free… Quiet weapons for silent wars are fought through philosophy So I’m a build on my mind like it’s property

This is the origin the beginning the infinite The essence of knowledge that provided everything that we're living with The universal blueprint pervasive I am the creator and the creation’s molecular integration The dark matter and the place where the light wave is My body is the universe crafted in human shapes with The knowledge born in cellular life Understanding through knowledge and wis husband and wife that's given sight I am infinite, given a name by my progenitors But unbound by the confines of whatever a letter does Communicate ahead of the parabola of sound waves Mental grave digger causing raptures from the sound stage Spoke at a profound age - guided by the wise men With compressed data from ancestors inside him I'm naturally eugenic... forming in the womb I was fashioned From the best of what the universe presented... Hook Ye are all gods, and you body is the temple The pyramid, the eye up top, that's your mental Look down and see what your mind has got you into Building on a firm ground's essential Climbing through the bricks and the steps you, understand life within you And lay the cornerstone begin to Elevate from inside out and rise to your apex to shine Until you look down and see the world through one eye... Matters never destroyed, but how was it born? How do sperm cells and zygotes know what to form? The sociological norms can jeopardize your ascension Through the… innermost and the uppermost dimensions So I advocate, studying the context you're living in And speaking about the challenges you're dealing with Supreme architects make a blueprint and survey the land So they can understand the best means to carry the plan This is the way of the universal student I see the patterns governing my heartbeat the sunshine and music Mathematics and measurements, purely on the basis Of a separate observer... is a limitation... You can’t overstand your environment without first knowing your own self To get the picture that it’s framed in To understand the vibrance, you need to dilate your mind’s iris So that you can see the vividness provided... try it... Hook

I can't think right… I'm doing 90 on the wrong road wrong way gas pedal no response to brake lights I had to [censor], I don't plan to take right Drunk by myself drive till I see the tank light Murders on my mind but it's suicide really… Foul thoughts mental devils dwell inside kill me It's dead quiet… no radio no beats no sound but wind The noise it drowns within I'm bound to win my pride it hates to lose when I do I'm lost feeling like I lost again I’m on the highway… tired of doing my things my way Cause my way don’t pay ‘fore I know it’s Friday I’m pissed off… key in the ignition Shouldn’t be driving really ain’t making a good decision To hell with my direction, red light I blew through the intersection Got wiped out from both directions... Hook The road of commitment is bumpy is struggle and pain lies, respect Sacrifice gotta stick out your neck It's quitting betrayal no loyalty, late nights lost sleep Defeat, working by yourself for weeks I woke up with bright lights above me… Heart monitor, beeping wrapped up like a mummy My eyes had to close up peering through my eyelashes I feel stitches on my body where the gash is I crashed in… middle of the road wasn’t thinking Intoxicated by my own thinking I was so drunk I couldn’t see the brake lights or red lights or traffic Now look at what happened Lucky to be alive with sane mind can’t believe I took myself for a ride Hopefully nobody died… They said somebody did… Passed out when they said it was a [censor]... The heart monitor spiked I lost sight faded out Hope I don’t wake up, rather die myself Than ever walk or drive for any distance On the road of commitment, I quit this, fuck it …

In the beginning, there was nothing, and nothing did exist But something, did exist, ‘cause nothing, did exist It caused, an effect, without, being caused And would cause, a single point, to be the start, of it all It saw, it’s face, in the point, that was made And it’s reflection, was the birth, of time, and space So now, there was nothing, a point time and space Which manifest by creating, matter atom, in it’s place And another, and another, it would exponentiate They would move, creating heat, collide, detonate And fusion, and fission, multiply, and division Through attraction and subtraction, it arrived arrived at the decision… That math, ematics, would be the way it would speak And become known to everything it’s energy, could reach And so it saw everything it made, but nothing saw it Because it’s creation was born from its reflection, a living derivative that saw with its own eyes And simply held the language of mathematics in itself And through that mathematics the reflection, created in its image, could see and understand the mind it manifest Then it cried out from the heavens yelling 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 It’s void, and the blackness, symbolized empty space But this space, contained energy, that was dark, per se It pervaded, and it moved in a certain shape that’s, hexagonal And it paved the way for light and matter atoms, to travel through And it took, the mathematics with it… So everything created from it understood the system… Stars, planets, solar systems, moons moving galaxies Populated dramatically, all created mathematically Automatically, life was born from life, and intelligence Was embedded in everything that was composed, of the elements Macrocosm, microcosm, as above so below Space time warps, gravity, other forces begin to show… Man can now use his eyes to see his own reflection and Begin the process in his cipher building, with intelligence And use his own decisions, collectively and personal Now you can use your mind to hold the planets, that circle you...

So tell me, this is all? I came here and got less but I expected more Is this it? Is this the gift that I’ve been waiting for? Is this the only the treasure that’s buried beyond the door?... I know there’s more here, I was patient and waited a couple of more years Blood, sweat, energy and tears Now I stand here... in disbelief that I waited… Cause now I see the fruit of my labor is not the greatest… I feel that my beautiful palace has dissipated… And my reward’s not exactly what I anticipated… I know that... things change But to get here… I persevered physical pain… Had to play psychological games endured strain When the stress became trauma, I prayed to stay calmer… Resorted to the spiritual plane to stay at ease Not for greed and... not only during times of need I remained humble, and my ethics were all pervasive… Respectful, followed the rules no violations Seeing what’s before me, is this the conclusion to my story? There’s got to be more to it… there’s got to be more… So tell me, this is all? I came here and got less but I expected more Is this it? Is this the gift that I’ve been waiting for? Is this the only the treasure that’s buried beyond the door?… I dreamt of this moment but to live it is a nightmare The riches I envisioned to be, are not here But I have one question for you; listen hear How would you feel if what you lived for was not there? If every ambition, and every aspiration Never happened and you never really did achieve your dream And you worked so diligent to see yourself make it And you’ve been through it all with your scars as proof… That’s how I feel right now… incapacitated I need to find purpose… I’m feeling quite worthless I felt like a better life awaited… I hoped it would arrive But I see that my ride never came Where’s the yellow pavement?... Who can give me what I need Feeling lifeless, I’m asking for encouragement to breath Feeling off balance, I need a hand just to lead To the point that I can understand this, I can’t believe what I’m seeing… So tell me, this is all? I came here and got less but I expected more Is this it? Is this the gift that I’ve been waiting for? Is this the only the treasure that’s buried beyond the door?(2x)… As the tears flow down from my face I try to hide it Had to use the collar of my shirt just to wipe it A mix of emotion… anger, sadness Sanity and madness, falling into fragments It’s tough to swallow that I’m at the end of the road At the very place that I envisioned the goal But… can’t believe that this is all Is this what I’ve waited for, I desired more Look at me, see the pain it took for me to get this… This gift is a curse but I expected a blessing… All of those that gave me support, time and effort… They wished me the best and to them I am indebted… But, how I do pay… and what do I say When I come back with this... this is not sufficient… I’m debating if it’s… even worth mentioned That I went through hell to get here and traveled all the distance When all I have to show are emotional scars From struggling for so long, many things are gone Since I sacrificed a lot of things that I considered worthless But in my hindsight I am questioning every purpose… it wasn’t even worth it… So tell me, this is all? I came here and got less but I expected more Is this it? Is this the gift that I’ve been waiting for? Is this the only the treasure that’s buried beyond the door?…

Look at what they got they don’t deserve it, I struggled longer I’m worth it They’ve been given the money but they won’t be using it for higher purpose I’m the proper servant... God... where you at God? You gonna leave your children broke searching for crumbs that they can snack on? You said you’ll never forsake me, but you played me How you gonna have me starving and then hit them with a house and a new Mercedes? Fuck it, maybe you ain’t real God, for real God You the one that gave me the signs said it was time for me to proceed with faith and to be real strong Now all of my faith has passed on... Hook This is the sound of cries when dreams die (x4) I got, the weight of the world on my shoulders like Sisyphus struggling rolling the heaviest boulder Only to watch it roll it towards him Over again… (x4) Where am I at I shouldn’t be here what happened to dreams Seems like, I’m stuck in between what I got and what I should’ve received My efforts futile (fu-tile), looking in the mirror like who you? now The weight of my obligation stronger ‘cause I now got 2 childs And dreams don’t cook the rice and sure don’t buy it just like to talk don’t The bullshit has run throughout our porcelain shop and left us all broke So where’s the buck when need you it?... Peep it... My philosophy... based on manifest destination untill I didn’t receive the gift Of meritocratic philosophical bases, keep trying, nah There’s a line between time-wise and time wasted And I won’t waste another minute spinning my wheels with affirmations Reading some recitations thinking they’ll change my manifestations Take ‘em… and put them in the flames where my dreams will be the embers They were... once whole but now they’re ashes and dismembered Gone, you’d be lucky to put them back together They are now like, a bird chained to the ground wanting to fly but lacking the feathers dying...

I burn calendars when time moves slow due to pain The longest moment then occurs through the fall of a grain On hourglasses, I wish that I could reverse its path and Send it backwards to back in time when I could claim my satisfaction... Has it… been an hour or a day?… I kneel and pray… The past echoes in my present state… Keep my head above water wait… I've got a weight on my ankle while water levels elevate I need to levitate to get a break… What'll go first? Me or the chain… It hurts, it couldn't be worse or could it? Cut it, amputate me from my life's mistakes… It's like a tumor that has grown over my former face... The mirror never lies right? So now I’m seeing my life through malicious eyesights awake at twilight Prep’ing for work, rectifying yesterday with sorrow… A bad day… praying for a, better tomorrow... When these 24 hours start to feel like weeks Wide awake after midnight, I cannot sleep Wide awake after midnight, I cannot sleep When these 24 hours start to feel like weeks x2 If thoughts are sins I’m going to hell I already know this clearly If thoughts are sins you’re going to hell that means that you’ll be near me If only God can judge me then who’s the jury?... Who’s gon’ justify this man’s fury?... Who’s gon’ be the one to stand near me? If hell is hot then heaven’s cold like a frozen heart inside a soul Every heart, beat breaks a part of your brittle arteries off Little ice, crystals fall to the Earth in a flurry melt and be gone… Break Commitment is a battle, commitment is a fight Commitment never sleeps, commitment’s day and night Commitment takes blood, commitment takes tears Commitment builds lives, it sacrifices years (repeat) When these 24 hours start to feel like weeks Wide awake after midnight, I cannot sleep Wide awake after midnight, I cannot sleep When these 24 hours start to feel like weeks x2 (Vitality) a new dawn arrives and my tired hands expand like a broken heart that never plans to find forever when the sun goes down i pick up my head and i look around where the dead are dead and they ain't coming back strength i find in compassion i lack will get me home yet crack its foundation this distance is armor and this amazing new lease on life comes with a price my skin ages where somebody's light colors my grey and i walk away where the end of the earth will never say there's room to grow a black rose bestows the gift of life right beside the low side of a high that makes time a threat and hinges the trap doors my love reflects the day is long but it is done and a blank page becomes the one sense of pure that gets me home my soul is dim and i don't own a wholesome life or sleep at night i lost you where the road looks like the echo chamber of a tear that don't exist as if your fears and my bad habits take the hand of the other as they stand before tomorrow a bizarre sky above a falling star becomes a wrinkle on my face a thin line between the time i waste and dying happy is the ingenious skeleton of distance that lies between us

Snuck in the Vatican, and found the truth about a lot of shit Found the truth about the Christian and Mohammaden I found the high priests were also astrologers They studied the heavens and followed it… The allegory of astrologic theology’s told through ancient gods and the goddesses And told through the heiroglyphs… The pyramids built pre-Egyptian Not as a tomb but a power system Saw the the truth of our genesis That mankind is a genetic experiment manufactured by aliens… That they’re the gods from the heavens and The supreme being they believe in is a master geneticist And taught hermetics and medicine And knew all the sciences of the energies and the table of elements Every current technology progression’s really a remnant Of evidence left behind many millenia Underground cities in Earth many kilometers Pre-telescopic knowledge of stars in Andromeda The Renaissance brought the knowledge to all of the Scientists like Descartes and opened the mental aqueducts… Snuck in the Vatican, and found the truth about a lot shit Found the truth about the cross and the obelisk I saw the historical books that they claimed were burned They had the copies of them there perfectly preserved I saw the messages encoded in the star of David And found the secret of the Mars’ faces I saw the reason why lunar module during the space race Lifted off from the moon without leaving a blast crater I saw a levitator, that could pick up any megalith And move it on no matter how much it weighed up They used a power grid but none of it was wired up They used zero point energy to power up...

They say that I can overcome fear (How is that?) In the face of death keep marching (Use courage) In the face of death keep marching x4 Burn the ships, never going back, cut the bridges off Ready able and willing I’m raw, this is inner war I ain’t going back to living the way I lived before I ain’t going back to doing the things I did before Until I lay in the morgue, I’m taking my a step for My future, I motivate with a jet force I’m my own savior, use the right and my left arms Mastering my cipher is only making me get strong...

I smell topsoil and roses, grass and seeds A strange ability, because I lack the lungs to breathe My eyes adjusted to the darkness, but still I can’t see shit Strange anomaly because I lack the eyes to see with But do I have a mind to dream when I lack a brain to reason I’m back in the womb of mother earth and getting deepened 72 inches plus a rapid loss of body mass My placenta’s a casket but will it last? When I hear the pressure from the ground above knocking on it’s surface Gravity pulling me deep into mother earth it’s My birth in reverse it, feels like finally... My life on the surface, had purpose First my mother pushed me out, now I’m being pushed back Back into darkness, back into black Back in the days I lived my life knowing I would see this I had my meeting with death, her kiss was the sweetest She’s even with me right now protecting me and keeping She told me everyone I knew that died I would meet them And that they never really died and it’s possible to see them If I open the eye that the darkness helps me see in I use that same eye to tell you now what I’m seeing The black eye the eye doesn’t need light see with The black eye the eye that stays inside the human being The eye that drives you, the eye that survives you The eye that, when you’re drained of life it revives you The eye that, sees your lack and when it can supplies you... Dead but alive, I know it may surprise you We’re only separated by a veil I am by you We’re only separated by a veil I am by you We can see each other if we try to We can see each other if we try to, but I need your hand to reach... I need my name to be written I need you speak I need, the lights off... at brightest keep the light soft Using candles for your light source I can see you looking for me, walking through me... I can’t obstruct your path there’s no more density to me When you’re looking at my photos, I’m looking back at you Even though you think the eyes are looking right past you I made, the candle flicker getting your attention Fire doesn’t burn me through this other dimension... I kiss my son every night that he goes to sleep You water my grave when your tears weep So I smell flowers every spring while I sleep... A strange ability, because I Iack the brain to think And the more I lose my physical the more I spread Into other forms of life, I am never dead I am back in into mother earth, the black of mother earth Blacker than the blackest black black like a curse The type of black that, you can never see but only see with The black eye, the eye that can defy a man’s reason The black eye, the eye that makes the earth change seasons The black eye, the only eye that you can use to see us
