Be Here Now

what's life and what is death? surely more than just concepts to ponder while i'm lying awake in bed seems most of our path on this rock is dimly lit they say you'll see the light when you have your last breath I guess if life is the present then death is the gift the moment you accept everything as it is as you play back the tapes of everyday that you lived the times you couldn't make it though you gave it your best or when you faced your demons as if they didnt exist the highs, the lows, even the mids your last goodbye, your very first kiss all the road rash and bruises art and music the way grandma always made you your favorite food dish you see life is a game and death is just an illusion but the day to day grind causes all kinds of confusion, for now we have our fears, or as I like to call em delusions, but one day we'll sit back and laugh realizing life was made for our amusement.

Note To Self

every day is a challenge
in this life i lead it's hard to achieve balance
from what i've seen winning isn't about talent
ambition or valor
when good guys finish last
with a head full of questions left unanswered
was it worth it taking a chance
when in the end you feel so worthless
you say you tried your best
but homie can you be certain
that on your path
there isn't a wake of those who love you
you left hurtin
when your maker closes the curtains
will your spirit rise and flourish
or will you be consumed by the flames
of all your fears and burdens

cause
life is a mystery
gotta piece the puzzle together
and find the missing link
shatter the pattern of history
only then will i fulfill my destiny

said
life is a symphony
gotta play from the heart
to find the right key
scatter the notes how they're meant to read
only then will i rest in peace

The Veil of Illusion

tell me
why are there pyramids on a dollar bill
ancient evil concealed behind the masonic seal
at the top of thirteen steps behold the light that shines
trying to trick your mind imitating that which is divine
lucifer disguised as the all seeing eye
practicing idolatry and force feeding you lies
whats worse is that his roots are buried deeply inside
of every single institution you've ever believed to be right

it's a hard pill to swallow but don't wallow in sorrow
it's all an illusion you must escape the delusion if you want to survive
you must imagine yourself with no limits and undefined
you were created in god's image so you're one of a kind
overstand that and you'll be simply sublime
an infinite prime
a perfect fusion of truth
an omnipotent union that you cannot divide

we're coming to the end of an age the end of the times
but please don't believe the first savior in sight
another wolf in sheep's clothing through the dark of the night
tricking you slowly just like they do all the time
history repeats itself so why aren't we seeing the signs
we're headed towards world war three and the fourth reich
how could they just let the nazi party slip through the lines
it's cause the illuminati is wicked and was funding both sides

that's why
they've turned civilians to soldiers and ruined their lives
they poison our food and they're bleeding us dry
then they pump you full of prozac so you can't even cry
but they have the nerve to call marijuana a crime
please
these overzealous fascists are the reason why
most of the people who hear these words will believe they're a lie
so if you're pissed then throw a fist up and raise it high
while you're at it grab your black flags and we'll hang em to fly
but violence isn't the answer we gotta fight with our minds
with the power of truth now tell me who's on my side
cause all i see is political violence
governments trying to
silence our voices
limit our choices
flying planes into buildings
killing civilians
instilling fear in our children
waging war against so called villains
wasting trillions
what the deal is?
don't listen to the t.v. it will deceive thee
designed to blindfold your eyes and feed you lies
it's the chains that keep you tied down
modern day slavery in the mainstream
media steadily feeding ya
pop culture mind torture
meant to distract and keep our minds off track
this shit is whack
we need to take our existence back

Transcendence

mysterious catacombs
hidden worlds beyond the pupil
delirious sick circle
revolving doors trappin you within
ladies and gentlemen lets begin...

evolving intricate patterns spin
when i'm switchin dimensions
sittin with distorted perception of Escher position
ascension through planes of existence by way of astral projection
dark thoughts phantom nous
introspection divine
my mind finds truth in reflection
manifestations of salvation observed in constellations
contemplating information that makes us
larger than life
ramifications of indulging temptations
sensations of being cut down to size
finally i've received answers to questions which i had once pondered why
scaling the rugged edge of sanity with peace of mind
letting go of misconceptions which were once contrived
stepping through the shadow finding divinity on the other side
still ego continues battling
but in time it too... must.. die.

Our Divine Nature

i was,
born screaming, red in the face
lend me your lobes and i'll give you a taste
get out of my way if you ain't here to listen
twenty three years ago i was sent here on a mission
to teach people the key to heaven lies within them
we just need to focus and be attentive
lets get cohesive and make a plan that sticks
shining like diamonds with each puff of cannabis
tomorrows anew but nothings greater than the present
the time is NOW so we should never neglect it
introspection has got me thinkin that life is only what you make it
so i'm takin my doubts and breakin em down to basics
rearrange em, mold em, shape em
turn the tables and change my thinking
open my minds eye to illuminate the oasis
that sits adjacent to vacant waste pits
in the recesses of self
step through the shadow and realize
depression is a tool to your health
a treasure found covered in dust on a shelf
blow off the cobwebs and discover spiritual wealth

hard to imagine till it happens to you
it takes a lot of shit to get a garden to bloom
but like a lotus flower or the ugliest duck
the most beautiful creations tend to rise out of the muck
like the odd horse out with a jockey that never gives up
winning feels better when you've been down on your luck
cause once you hit the bottom shit can only look up
no need to sit in sorrow just grab the next rung
it might be dark for the moment but tomorrow we'll be seein the sun
the key to success is believing in love
we're in this together through the best and the worst weather
just have a little faith and a whole lot of trust
that your needs will be met
there's no need for regrets if you keep this in mind
please believe me because
i've been down in the trenches warmed many benches
and been the victim of some vicious shit
but no matter what i'm never givin in
cause life is splendid when you keep pushing on
take a punch turn your cheek and feel the strength that erupts

no need for retaliation when you've developed understanding and patience
life is amazing so what are you waiting for
take the plunge
dive deep in the rivers of bliss and swim in everlasting greatness
peace is attained when you stop holding on to hatred
calm your thinking and give thanks that you even have air in your lungs

we've got power beyond our wildest dreams, but for some reason can't conceive
the reality of our divine nature
there's nothing to fear because we are eternal beings
fate didn't leave you stranded in this land of lost souls
we put ourselves here as a game to watch our powers unfold
so sit back and enjoy the ride you'll be surprised
once you let go you gain more control.

sometimes
its hard to stay in check
and not live my life in regret
when theres no change in my pocket
and im up to my neck in debt
i get to trippin and i dont mean no disrespect
but i start slippin back to old tendencies
bad habits of self neglect
at times its hard not to fret
when the life you been livins a wreck
you got too many buttons to press
and even though you try your best
to disconnect the wires that signal your stress
in the end it seems a hopeless dream
cause even marvelous attempts keep bringing dismal effects
thats why i need to focus
pause for a moment and take a breath
blaze a sack of potent ass doja and just relax
learn to count my blessings instead of my chips
and earn a new perspective
an appreciation of the things i do have
sit back and smile cause i really dont got it that bad
i love life and everything that comes with it
take my ups with my downs its all stupendous
remain conscious and ill never stay suspended
in the same stagnant waters in which ive been swimmin
begin to build bridges
instead of burnin em down
start wearin a smile instead of a frown
happiness abound
behold the light
a new king is crowned
i got the recipe to keep livin life in ecstasy
cant let doubt get the best of me
nor stress when im tested now
pleased with the fact that
regardless of the hardships endured on our path
the world always keeps turnin around
dont be nervous wanna learn ask how
i know it sounds absurd just observe the sound
you still got fears watch me burn em down
we're gettin closer better merge the next turn is town
we gotta get out and spread the word through the crowd
share what we've learned so we can be certain we've found
the path to righteousness with the sense of a hound
no more head in the clouds when your sniffin the ground
once you're on the right track its okay to be proud
with faith and intuition sharp as a scepter
we can sever the chains in which our burdens are bound
no more misconceptions nor discontent
troubled waters in which
with out direction
we were once destined to drown

Ethereal.Love.Craft

twist the herb
listen
observe
what lies beneath the eyelid
words do no justice to the truth
but still i try my hand at rhymin
just a dude upon this chunk of rock
a vagabond wearin holes in my socks
travelin on to the next spot that i can kick shit off
i need to focus to keep the prize in sight
if my plans remain potent i'll grasp the apple of my eye
i got faith so my hopes never became hopeless
don't give a fuck of your doubts i'll smoke em like dope
quick to roach spliffs
approach this mic like i molded these words with devotion
cause thats exactly what was done
inspiration has lit my path with the wrath of a thousand suns
and i will never turn back to the darkness that was once
attached to my heart stealing every ounce of my love
a titans fist squeezing the last breath from my lungs
at times it seems life is a ladder without any rungs
thats why we gotta collect the tools we need to build ourselves up
then we will rise at once far past the flight path of doves
traveling onward through this sphere of atoms that seems so fucked
sail past the shining stars above in a makeshift craft that we call love
live in infinite bliss and erupt in jubilation
no more trials or tribulations
demise nor devastation
cause theres no time for violence or hatred
once the fact is grasped that
all is ONE.

Can't Stop. Won't Stop.

im standing here in the shadow of city lights
thoughts hanging like corpses from gallows
and im wonderin why
why im standin here
why theres holes in the atmosphere
why cops run this town and nothing
significant ever happens here
unless we make it happen
please peep what im tryin to speak
because we're here to verb
actions speak louder than words
still im rhymin in verse
kickin out the jams like MC5
till the vinyl bursts
my mind is parched
i'll never stop my quest
until i quench my thirst
i'll run through the gauntlet
when it's my turn
duck all the punches
and bend through the curves
i gotta stick with it
i cant submit when it hurts
even when the solid grip of life
keeps twisting my nerves
i know if i persevere
i'll see the tables reversed
once this fable is over
i'll learn my lesson for sure
and i'll never perish for my spirit's preserved
in the lighthearted bliss of overstanding
the hardships that i've endured.

Imagine

Imagine your self living outside of the box
no white picket fence
no doors
no locks
you can go outside but there's no sides to walk
no nosy neighbors with those snide remarks
that you can see in their eyes though they never talk.

Imagine.
Imagine yourself in a timeless spell
bliss intrinsic
suspended in an infinite realm
no worries
no fears
delusions
quarrels
nor tears
enriched with new sense from this plane of existance
that which remains now
a forever that never ends
your spirit lighter than a slight wind on a feather's tip
infused in an ecstatic trip
like a warm rush from a cool kiss
as lips touch the winter's breeze moves in.

Imagine. 
Imagine the intangible
where all is ONE
everyone's God and God is love
inexplicable abundance of limitless sums
a wealth that is greater than anything you can touch.

Imagine.
