When I die, take me down To the edge of the ocean And burn my body Let it be free, aflame Sweet release, as the flesh and fire Reunite with the sky all at once there All my love, my hate, my anger, my jealousy I’ll leave it there, release me, I am free Make me a soldier of the spiritual war Send me into battle Help me to break the cycle Stuck in the endless loop The endless loop When I die, I’ll be dead Was that a part of the agreement Of being here in the first place? Glory, glory, hallelujah Raise up to that higher ground Come and see this new shit That me and my friends have found Stomping on the altar That is the new age dance floor And I’m feeling frustrated Is it all a game That I’m bound to play? In this wicked world Can I get away? And oh, my life is changing fast But what do I want? What do I want? Make me a soldier of the spiritual war Send me into battle Help me to break the cycle Stuck in the endless loop The endless loop Hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on

I gotta job and it don’t make much I got love so I’ve got enough And the weight of the world I’ve been carrying on my shoulders Will fall away in time I got all these walls built up And I don’t know why I build them in the first place Life is too precious I’m far too connected To sweat all the small shit Living that lie Brothers gone and sisters crying Screaming out a window Sayin’, ‘You know me now, Yeah you know me now.’ While ten and a half blocks over Someone found a four leaf clover And is passing the day away I am here and I am with you As immigration forces ran up on their houses today Yeah they took all they had They took it away And it’s hard to cope In a world with such hatred So find that thin line Between you and the matrix And live your life Live your dreams Let it go As hard as it seems Be free Be free I got a job and it don’t make much I got a job and it don’t make much I got a job and it don’t make much I got a job and it don’t make much

I just wanna give to you All of the answers I just wanna ask of you All of the questions I just wanna go Clear Rainy days are cool these days I need time for reflection I get so caught up In my old ways Had it up to here With the fear Now that I’m Clear In love, in war, in life, and hate We try to do the right thing Like water comes to wash away It takes some time to come around Picture this Lost in the depth of the grip of the human condition I feel the light I feel the dark And I don’t ask why Anymore When remiss, down low Feeling as though you are so god damn Out of control, slow-mo It’s just passing in waves It’s just passing in waves And the darkness hits hard But the light will prevail The paradox is bringing me consciousness Woaha woah In love, in war, in life, and hate We try to do our own thing Like water comes to wash away The fear leads to division And i’m no longer giving in I won’t let it bring me down Now that I am clear Now that I am clear Now that I am clear

Take a step outside Go on, get high Take a step outside Go on, get high This is that new wave From the sun beam and the new moon And I’m heading towards the 38 In the opposite of afternoon The beggars and the clubbers All align the corner right on time But only a fraction of this faction Ever had to ask if you could spare a dime There’s contrast Between the haves and the have nots As the loaded bar goer Meets his girlfriend at the sweet spot While the Friday nights best With the vomit on his chest Meets the ex-daughter tweaker With tattoos in her neck And a pain in her back From sleeping on the sidewalk I wonder what it’s like But me I can’t miss a beat And I’m tryna catch that last bus Gettin’ off this grave shift Go home to smoke some cannabis Take a step outside Go on, get high Take a step outside, Go on, get high I throw on my headphones And I fall into a daydream Tonight I’m spinning Kanye’s ‘College Dropout’ And Common’s ‘Be’ I study the movement I follow the delivery A bonafide poetic With a real jazzy back beat I sink into my seat And I take a survey of the bus A real solid mix Of the privileged and the homeless And everybody in between Husslin’ to make some green If we can just make rent We don’t ever have to leave Distorted is reality When you cannot see clear The haves and the have nots Have not always been here Hierarchy’s natural In a system that perpetuates Division via racism Scapegoating And deep, deep hate Come on man What’d you take me as? I see that bull shit line That you’ve drawn in the sand And I will not succumb To identity politics The empty platitudes Fueled by divisive rhetoric Set sail For the people’s revolution Cause I’m all for the break down Of the broken institutions Trust me, we must be The change of the world But if we’re gonna do it Gotta change ourselves first There’s someone Who I thought That I was But I’m not It’s crazy And hazy Here under the golden sun The golden sun This last verse Is for millennials workin’ 9 to 5 Delaying gratification In the pseudo struggle to survive Around every corner lies Another chance to compromise The dreams that we had once considered To be our god given right Entertain ourselves to death As we’re waiting on these checks Tuning in to the tube To see what’s up next And yeah I’m down to chill But I fear we could be become numb Scrolling through our phones so much We got arthritis in our thumbs And as for me I bear a heavy load of classic contradiction Fallin’ in and out Of a set of spiritual convictions I cannot be defined By the world I come from My soul is as deep As the bass of a kick drum Kick, kick, kick kick drum Kick, kick, kick kick drum Kick, kick, kick kick drum Kick, kick, kick kick drum And if I cannot spit If I cannot rhyme Then who am I? If I cannot spit If I cannot rhyme Then who am I? If I cannot spit If I cannot rhyme Then who am i? Break loose From the old ass scheme I’m tryna make myself Make my dreams I’m tryna make something Of myself I’m just tryna Make something of myself Break loose From the old ass scheme I’m tryna make myself Make my dreams I’m tryna make something Of myself I’m just tryna Make something of myself
