lyrics

Uh huh,
Payin’ cash for cigarettes like,
“What you need them smokes for?”
My man buyin nicottene to
Fix things that been broke for
Years of adolescence menace
Up inside his psyche
Maybe that’s why family still
Eat so much despite the
Belly building buldgin breathin
Cut off no more airflow
Habits always passin on but
Do they really care though?
Yogis and the pharaohs slammed
Gojis and cacao
But now out people sippin ish from
Hormone sickened cows
Slump over and scowl
Even when they smiling
I’m workin to reach those higher planes
But my third eye calcifying
Iris growin dimmer
And I can see you dyin
I love your warm embrace
And man I wonder if you try
To keep yo temple up and runnin
Stop runnin from those demons
People teach empowerment
If you just look for healing
Keep yo temple up and runnin
Stop runnin from those demons
People teach empowerment
If you just look for healing like


“Let me hold
All I need
Holding in
My hands lightning”


Time to start it off
I’ve been dormant for too long
Steppin’ in a new way
And I’m singing a new song, man
Time to start it off
I’ve been dormant for too long
Steppin in a new way and I’m
Singing a new song like

Yeah ain’t it true
Our family want medicine?
We fat and sick and nearly dead
And think that we’re ahead and when
We get to work we stressed out
Get home and we stressed out
Sip a couple brews feelin confused
Bout how to get out
Of this viscious cycle
And I really hope more see it
Life is what we make it
Somethin like the Four Agreements
That would be alright
If it didn’t mean this suffering
But I don’t like this game we play
I want to dream another dream
And I need no permission
I can make my own decisions
And I build a better circumstance
When I pursue my visions
Close my eyes and listen
To inner worlds of poetry
I ask the ether questions
Letting the answers wash over me
Achieving without striving
There’s no need to tear and tug
I’m in this thing for all of us
Cuz I know all is one
Becoming a creator
I just want to have some fun
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love
like

“Let me hold
All I need
Holding in
My hands lightning”

Time to start it off
I’ve been dormant for too long
Steppin’ in a new way
And I’m singing a new song, man
Time to start it off
I’ve been dormant for too long
Steppin in a new way and I’m
Singing a new song
like

Becoming a creator
I just want to have some fun
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love
Becoming a creator
I just want to have some fun
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love
I said becoming a creator
I just want to have some fun
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love
Becoming a creator
I just want to have some fun
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love
If I could start a universe
I’d start it off with love.
