Look I sit and watch the leaves fall While smoking on a King Palm Like this thing called life, am I doing this thing wrong This is not a sing song, This is called Hip Hop 96' Space Jam Barry White Chris Rock Random memories from my past I'm on the eastside Soladite and a bag of gas all in my Levi's I've learned not to take life for granted When I was knee high Went through a lot to bring you these scriptures The book of Eli On whom can I rely Whom can I trust Poured the liquor down the drain And left the powder in the dust How easily things can go from Problem solver to a crutch Just to find out that the answer Was always inside of us Man I'm following God Checking my rearview for Satan Listening to Natty Nation And I had a revelation That its all about balance Something that I don't have enough But do the math God And watch it all start adding up cause We're just creatures on this Earth Trying to find a way just to get away from hurt I put a smile on my face and plant a seed in the dirt Get the drama out the way And finally find out what you're worth Let me talk about it Have you experienced the pain Reminiscing on my childhood Needed someone to blame Had to get out of this town Hit the highway in the rain Put the gas in the air Let me see if I can explain Ima talk about it I was living in the darkness Late nights under street lights pitching I was raised to be heartless Before the guitar riffs 25 Sacks on me and a loaded .25 in the car shit I've been through the hardships Memories of nothing to eat Living in that westside apartment Blowing on a cartridge Me and Gage playing NBA Hangtime Rolling up cigars with Jason Kidds from around the way My girl did me dirty man I was a clown to stay Life was hard but somehow shit we found a way The ones that held me down then Will hold me down today And don't ask me a question If you're afraid of the answer I ain't scared of shit But car accidents and cancer I don't ask for respect That's something I demand bruh I had to break free The second I had the chance to cause We're just creatures on this Earth Trying to find a way just to get away from hurt I put a smile on my face and plant a seed in the dirt Get the drama out the way And finally find out what you're worth Let me talk about it Have you experienced the pain Reminiscing on my childhood Needed someone to blame Had to get out of this town Hit the highway in the rain Put the gas in the air Let me see if I can explain Ima talk about it Look Absolutely Malcolm they gon have to shoot me I wrap a doobie then get on the mic And start rapping movies I'm actually groovy A feisty Pisces I might get moody Learned to trust in the Tao Now see all this light come through me I'm rolling down Hackett Memories of streets I was raised on My stories tragic The need for us to change our mind frame is simply drastic Its like a disease that you can live with I call it Magic Johnson I'm staying conscious My mind enlightened like a sparker Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Chuck Taylors and a parka at the park Mostaccioli and some cheese bread Miss me with that he said she said And my punches hit hard Stop the fight Nate Diaz I feel its the perfect time to Elevate and get your mind up I grind up and pack the lime up While I'm listening to Yaima In the lab is where you'll find us Like Dexter, both kinds of And if you need a reminder Maybe you should hit rewind I'm gone Hmmmm Be you be you be you And don't be nobody else Be proud of your story Even though I know its hard for you to tell Hmmmm Be you be you be you And don't be nobody else Be proud of your story Even though I know its hard for you to tell Hmmmm Be you be you be you And don't be nobody else Be proud of your story Even though I know its hard for you to tell Hmmmm Be you be you (Be you be you) Be you be you (Be you be you) Hmmmm

Never deny the power that you have within yourself The fact that you have an imagination The fact that you can create your outcome Means that you are more powerful than you ever thought The chances of you having a life here on earth is slim to none But yet you are here All those dark time that you have been through All those times that you was down You are here to tell about it To share your experiences Because you are powerful You're a God Yeah sometimes yeah sometimes yeah I know That it's hard to have faith When self-doubt starts to show his face (This what I say) Man don't you know that you're a King Man don't you know that you're a God You can make it through anything Show em how you defy the odds Man don't you know that you're a King Man don't you know that you're a God You can make it through anything Show em how you defy the odds Man don't you know that you're a King? The power is inside of you Power to accomplish anything that you try to do When you have reached your brink Know you're stronger than you think I keep it 100 my dude I wouldn't lie to you Social media society fueled by anxiety Self-conscious thoughts daily testing my sobriety but I've been through worse times Shit yours might been worse than mine And if you're searching for the knowledge God Well nows the perfect time Stay original the fist man was you And I'm just building off the facts Yeah I'm just building off the truth I will build a big building in the middle is a booth I hop in and hop out like Superman to save the youth This is what I say to you In those time when you doubt yourself Revert back to your lessons And them things you learned about yourself And taking losses is a part of the game Sometimes depression will creep into your brain Drive you insane like Yeah sometimes yea sometimes yeah I know That it's hard to have faith When self-doubt starts to show his face (This what I say) Man don't you know that you're a King Man don't you know that you're a God You can make it through anything Show em how you defy the odds Man don't you know that you're a King? I'm here to tell you "You're a champion" I'll fellowship and jam with him And I don't care what camp he in I'm gaining Knowledge of Self Learn to be an example then Share it equally through my music Give you a sample then Flood the streets with positivity and consciousness My city knows I care about them To me that's an accomplishment A lot was taken from me but I still know how to give I learned when you learn how to die That's when you can learn how to live for real Learn to relax a bit No matter how mad you get Sometimes we make decisions in anger And can't come back from it Create a shield for all those weapons that they attack you with I've seen people take themselves out for feeling inadequate Man I had to spit for those who can't express themselves Who feel the same as me Who overthink and stress they self It helps And taking losses is a part of the game Sometimes depression will creep into your brain Drive you insane like Yeah sometimes yeah sometimes yeah I know That it's hard to have faith When self-doubt starts to show his face (This what I say) Man don't you know that you're a King Man don't you know that you're a God You can make it through anything Show em how you defy the odds Man don't you know that you're a King Man don't you know that you're a God You can make it through anything Show em how you defy the odds Man don't you know that you're a King Man don't you know that you're a God You can make it through anything Show em how you defy the odds Man don't you know that you're a King?

I used to be a Man of the Darkness you know I thought my past defined who I was today still But once you learn how to let go of that Only then will you truly be able to shine I came into the light Pro After years in the darkness I had a bad day like I just lost Padme Crying tears on a starship I reminisce on my youth Them Rockford days It was hand-me-downs I wasn't in Polo Big fam but handled things alone Like Kylo Ren shit I Ben Solo I was searching for clarity Trying to skip 1 and 2 and get there to 3 But the therapy came in time When I realized the light was right there in me (The light was right there in me) Balance is instrumental God I push for Equality like a pair of 3's Track 7 Good Orderly Direction Tends to make a devil scared of me How you shining God? Commissioner Gordon I put the light in the air No matter the issue step into my cipher And guaranteed ima stand right on my square With no Knowledge of me Don't act like you know me This black man is God But I am not holy Mamba mentality Rest in Peace Kobe You might need your shades Excuse me I'm glowing Cause I got this Light inside of me See it glowing through my heart Light inside of me Help me make it through the dark Light inside of me And I'm no longer afraid to shine to shine yeah Cause I got this Light inside of me See it glowing through my heart Light inside of me Help me make it through the dark Light inside of me And I'm no longer afraid to shine to shine Harmony Park Dakota killed it Oh yea He’s over there, somewhere Spare Change killed it too He’s right there He’s eating chicken and waffles Yeah he’s eating chicken and waffles Yup Love you Dakota You're amazing awesome special All the above I never been to a place where the whole idea of being Was care compassion and love It' not complicated The idea that we're demonstrating is honestly simple and plain "If you change the way you see the world The world you see will change" cmon Camp awesome what's good my homies Harmony's Angels I pull up slowly Hear my music Feel my passion I'll bleed for this shit just like Romie I know that we're lucky Outside eating chicken and waffles with Dakota Muckey There is a group playing next called The Late Ones And you don't wanna miss these brothers trust me On this Earth Live Free I Remember the days when we Had Good Times and heard the Wolf Cry On the way to The Giving Tree To all the Gods and Earths I say Peace Do the knowledge so you can teach Shine your light on me when we meet Then our Cipher can be complete Cause I got this Light inside of me See it glowing through my heart Light inside of me Help me make it through the dark Light inside of me And I'm no longer afraid to shine to shine yeah Cause I got this Light inside of me See it glowing through my heart Light inside of me Help me make it through the dark Light inside of me And I'm no longer afraid to shine to shine This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine That light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Light Cause I got this Light inside of me See it glowing through my heart Light inside of me Help me make it through the dark Light inside of me And I'm no longer afraid to shine to shine yeah Cause I got this Light inside of me See it glowing through my heart Light inside of me Got me feeling like Tony Stark Light inside of me And I'm no longer afraid to shine to shine Don’t be afraid to let your light shine baby Aye I said this little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine hold up This little light of mine aye I'm gonna let it shine aye This little light of mine yeah I'm gonna let it shine hold on I’m gonna let it shine (Hold up) I’m gonna let it shine yeah This little light of mine (What) I’m gonna let it shine (Turn up) This little light of mine aye I’m gonna let it shine hold on This little light of mine uh I’m gonna let it shine yeah I’m gonna let it shine wait I’m gonna let it

So Open 07:11
Peace Much love to all the positive and progressive people in this universe Everyone never taking a day for granted On this beautiful planet This is my last song of the evening Hope you guys had a good time You know I do it for you We gon rock like this I am so open Smoking to Joe Rogan And I guarantee what's inside this swisher Is so potent You should recycle your trash Before it end up in the ocean You should see what's in these whales When they have to cut em open I am so open Smoking to Joe Rogan And I guarantee what's inside this Swisher Is so potent You should recycle your trash Before it ends up in the ocean You should see what's in these whales When they have to cut em open I’m on a mission to help the mind’s eye see my vision Education of ones self is something I’ve been Wishin My mind used to be Layzie to Bizzy with Krayzie nights manifested Flesh on my Bone And put Harmony in my life that’s right I know this might be new to you A brother with my characteristics probably confuses you Rebuked and moved on from the bad things I used to do Searched for redemption like Arthur Morgan Homie and you should too Lord should I stand unshaken When everything about my culture is systematically taken From the music to the style Get locs now your Jamaican I love everyone But everyone don’t love us in this nation I was raised to be numb to that And mainstream Hip Hop now in days Make it seem like you gotta be dumb to rap but I spit that humble rap, praying on the floor And we don’t need to build walls yall We need to build doors so we can go and Push em open Smoking to Joe Rogan And I guarantee what's inside this Swisher Is so potent You should recycle your trash Before it end up in the ocean You should see what's in these whales When they have to cut em open I am so open Smoking to Joe Rogan And I guarantee what's inside this Swisher Is so potent You should recycle your trash Before it ends up in the ocean You should see what's in these whales When they have to cut em open Take a breath I want to say thank you for hopping in my passenger seat And trusting me behind the wheel You know the point is to gain a better Understanding From when I picked you up To when I drop you off If when I drop you off Nothing’s changed Then what’s the point of the ride You know? Look If you ain’t willing to do it yourself Don’t preach to be better I’ve had some dark nights That made me quit joking That’s Heath Ledger Back in high school I rocked the straight backs with the cheap leather I’m doing good but honestly shit I could eat better I’m on it My only opponent I feel is myself Focusing on mental health More than focusing on wealth Uncle Jo schooled me about Kava in front of the dome The love I feel at Harmony Park I bring it back home And a spread it around Lord knows that we need it in my town Just put ya headphones on and relax to the sound Playing guitar by the docks And trash was all I seen So I picked that shit up Before thrashing on my strings Give me patience Relax while I turn another page I feel demons in my presence So I’m burning on this sage Finally started yoga Thanks to Diamond Dallas Page And I feel good y’all Shit you wouldn’t believe my age Yeah I stay So open Smoking to Joe Rogan And I guarantee what's inside this Swisher Is so potent You should recycle your trash Before it ends up in the ocean You should see what's in these whales When they have to cut em open I am so open Smoking to Joe Rogan And I guarantee what's inside this Swisher Is so potent You should recycle your trash Before it end up in the ocean You should see what's in these whales When they have to cut em open Let’s build And in these times that we’re in In this new decade I find it very important for us as artist To understand who we are Who you are inside yourself I’ve learned to start with the Knowledge The foundation of everything Which is the thought To look to listen Observe and respect everything around you And when you find something useful with those thoughts That becomes your Wisdom The wise words you speak Your actions The way you move And then over time hopefully you’ll gain an Understanding Of what it is we’re trying to do here And to see things clearly for what they are And not for what they appear to be Then apply it to your Culture Your way of life The way you dress The way you speak you know Find the Power within inside yourself when you bring people to you To tell the truth And share it equally through your people And make sure you have Equality inside yourself too And at that point your Arm your Leg Your Leg your Arm your Head Can move in a true and living Good Orderly Direction At which point you can ask yourself Are you Building or are you Destroying Are you adding on to the people’s consciousness Or are you taking away from the minds eye of the people I hope this music helps you Build on what’s positive in your life And Destroy what‘s negative So we can all Born new ideas And add on with love and happiness to our Cipher And with that I just want to say Peace
