Lyrics

All my relations I honor you in this circle of life with me today To the creator the alpha and the omega my savior Thank you for this sweet life that I savor To the mineral nation that built the foundation And strengthened my bones so I could walk The straight and narrow road I thank you To the plant nation for sustaining my being Through the fruits of your labor Y las medicinas del corazón Que curan mis dolores gracias a ti Y la nación animal I thank you For feeding me Keeping me company To the human nation Thank you for walking with me On this path of life To the spirit nation Thank you for guiding me Keeping watch over me And all of creation To all of my relations I dedicate this prayer To the ancestors that prepared The way for me to walk here and there To the Landcestors upon whose ground I stand to share My medicine with all who have ears to hear (huh) Til my life is a wrap I'ma live in the present That's a fact I give my all If my life was a rap It'd be a track like this And if I fall I'm a keep coming back That's a promise on my momma And my ancestors all Mitákuye Oyás'in To all my relations Cuz I know I'm not perfect Been given a gift But I know I have to earn it Forgive me of my past I was purging my burdens Deserting my habits That had my focus dispersing But then I had an intervention With a gifted being She was channeling spirits Telling me To get onto my feet Give my lyrics To the people We know this path ain't easy But we got something to tell ya This gift is not given to ya To be selfish Hoarding your blessings Worse than the curse of pride If time's holding you back Then it's time to diversify Clock ticking When you're not living in Alignment with divine intention It's the root of your depression Wanna feel alive Escucha listen Ya future's vivid If you move with vision Til my life is a wrap I'm living in the present That's a fact I give my all If my life was a rap It'd be a track like this And if I fall I'm a keep coming back That's a promise on my momma And my ancestors all Mitákuye Oyás'in To all my relations I'm here to speak truth But truth is since a youth I was compromised by the lies They took root in my subconscious mind And the school system did it too My father's lack of pride Jeopardized my confidence So when I learned to write bars stronger than Solomon's arms No acknowledgement Even though this path Was laid out like a carpet It was hard stepping onto it (uh) But God never let me off the hook The devil is a crook But he provided proper competition Made me stronger I'll admit Lucifer did a lot for me Tempting my flesh Tempered my spirit Now my lyrics emit Energy medicine Metamorphosis Drama tried to traumatize the mold again But the butterfly flew to the forest For that I'm fortunate I'm coursing the path of life With divine coordinates Til my life is a wrap I'm living in the present That's a fact I give my all If my life was a rap It'd be a track like this And if I fall I'm a keep coming back That's a promise on my momma And my ancestors all Mitákuye Oyás'in To all my relations

What is the distance You'll go for your mission Buy a one-way ticket Sleep under some bridges Almost lost my vision Getting tossed by the waves of life Better watch for the ways it might Take your attention Hone your defenses go Cause why would I waste my time on a screen I could be living the life of my dreams Don't mean to Kill the vibe But I didn't believe (huh) I wanted stability Now that I have it, it's unsettling I need fulfillment I need to find something beyond What's only for me Clocking in daily But slowly I bleed My conscience berates me Your soul ain't machine It's a force to be reckoned with When that record hits Right like rhetoric I ain't heaven sent But I got medicine For those who relate yo I got a question What is the distance You'll go for your mission Buy a one-way ticket Sleep under some bridges Almost lost my vision Getting tossed by the waves of life Better watch for the ways it might Take your attention Hone your defenses go Now I'm at a crossroads Feeling like Paul the Apostle Lost in the dark of the unknown This game is harder than Dark Souls Knocking on doors like y'all home They are just scrolling on phones You serving your medicine Or you selling your soul 'Cause everything costs dough I don't got a safety net What if I just let it all go Blow up like Zeppelin Float up to the heavens But Lord knows I went through trauma Living in garages Had about a dollar (huh) Didn't go to college A pension wasn't my dream I believed in my callings (yeah, yeah) Wasn't until reality hit me like boxers Financial literacy They never taught it to me Only compliance Walk in a line Do what you're told I tried it But the ROI Never saved my soul Now I'm like fuck em I'm a pave my road I'ma chase my goals let's go What is the distance You'll go for your mission Buy a one-way ticket Sleep under some bridges Almost lost my vision Getting tossed by the waves of life Better watch for the ways it might Take your attention Hone your defenses go What is the distance You'll go for your mission Buy a one-way ticket Sleep under some bridges Almost lost my vision Getting tossed by the waves of life Better watch for the ways it might Take your attention Hone your defenses go (Go, go, go, go, go, go)

I've taken a leap of faith I've let go of what was comfortable For the possibility of something more aligned Still there's no guarantee Still I have self-doubt arise Like what if I made a mistake What if it doesn't work out What if I'm not good enough What if you went all in Said fuck the stallin' And called in your greatness (huh) What if you stopped waiting Launch your project Like a spaceship Before congratulations What if faith was the goal Not applause that you get But the strength of your soul Bearing hardships We all been through tribulations But not all live with the will to face 'em Prosperity the fruit of cultivation Can't fake it Money can't replace integrity You can't chase it Only claim it in the face Of choices you make daily The soil is so important Don't neglect the foundation That's where it all begins So get your micronutrients Take kindness and benevolence as basis Take frankness and friendliness to heart Forget the lies and Remember who you are Cause we've been waiting far too long I think it's time we break through the fourth wall Let em know We're not playing along Not playing small anymore this a war call The only one worth fighting for is for all So drop the stories that are only keeping you small Be brave and tell a new saga Wake up to your true nature Like a Bodhisattva Cause truly we are infinite If I'm definite of anything It's the fact that we're limitless I've spent sufficient time in my shell But I'm bout to crack it like an epidemic did and yell I practice discipline instead of wishing well Won't take for granted my presence on earth Put ego on the shelf No, it cannot be me first Dedicate my efforts To merit of all sentience Selfishness never works To procure what it promises Check my motivation How can I serve my fellow hominids And all creation? Maybe through these bars But I digress Maybe only through the grace of God I can bless I ponder on success I ponder on loss But any time I wander in my thoughts I am lost Bring awareness Back to my body To my breath To the life Inside of me My essence Is better than anything Outside of me Cause we've been waiting far too long I think it's time we break through the fourth wall Let em know We're not playing along Not playing small anymore this a war call The only one worth fighting for is for all So drop the stories that are only keeping you small Be brave and tell a new saga Wake up to your true nature Like a Bodhisattva

Uh, no I don't care who's up next This year, one yourself Like the GOAT said I don't boast much But I'm so blessed Professing what I know best My story Give 'em no less Than the whole breadth Step up in the booth just to confess Truth from the roots Of my sure steps Burst through the room With a firm microphone grip, hey Yeah, I gotta microphone grip Step up on the stage And I feel my soul lift Write your destiny Poetic with the way I'm manifesting these Flow states got me on a wave All waves gon' crest one day Thank God Tell the devils Get up out the way Listen to my angels I always do my best No Cain but I'm able to Kill comparison 'cuz Because I don't care who's up next This year, one yourself Like the GOAT said I don't boast much But I'm so blessed Professing what I know best My story Give 'em no less Than the whole breadth Step up in the booth just to confess Truth from the roots Of my sure steps Contest with myself That's the way that I work best This song is not a flex It's a chance To get something off my chest I'm the best Northwestern They never noticed No diss to the rest But I had to do this, yeah Move with the smoothness Of Cupid Cue this for the clueless Truth is music Been brewing in my soul Since I was young and clueless Now I know true gold Juxtaposed from the foolish (because) Because I don't care who's up next This year, one yourself Like the GOAT said I don't boast much But I'm so blessed Professing what I know best My story Give 'em no less Than the whole breadth Step up in the booth just to confess Truth from the roots Of my sure steps Contest with myself That's the way that I work best

Yeah, yeah, uh Living in a wonderland Wondering why so many struggling Abundance is All that there is But it's hard to receive Greed got us in its grip Like damn Can we refine our karma Before the house of cards crumbling like Gaza You might pray for peace Yet still pay taxes To the war machine Now that's ass backwards We think we moving forward When we orbiting our patterns Overstimulated by the simulation That they broadcasting It's why I'm moving at a tortoise speed Fuck the rush I don't believe Our nervous systems can adjust Easily It's why so many of us Need a crutch just to keep going Bottle up emotions Instead free flowing With our feelings and healing them In the moment And yeah I know it's hard Who am I to judge Another man hey We all got battle scars I've come far and Yeah I'm still struggling But now I stay calm Patience is all that it takes To get an upper hand Be a mountain in the storm Stay strong Roll with the waves When you're under them Uh where does your compass lie In the oneness, right? I'm in love with life But I suffered like The son of God Maybe that's a stretch But I was crucified by the stress And the loss That followed my steps Like a hunter Hot shit I thought was until God struck me down Like falcon punch Just to build me up again From the ground up The cycle never ends Life will crush you 'Til you ground up like Grist for the mill That powers the wheel of existence Divine will beyond our comprehension Don't be victimized By what arises in perception Whether it's dark or light It's all for your tempering So when you're tested by Agonizing trials Tribulations got you Face down in the trenches Remember Kindness and benevolence Never fails To crystallize intentions And bridge heaven from hell And yeah I know it's hard Who am I to judge Another man hey We all got battle scars I've come far and Yeah I'm still struggling But now I stay calm Patience is all that it takes To get an upper hand Be a mountain in the storm Stay strong Roll with the waves When you're under them Still wonder how I made it through Things we used to do so reckless Jah continually checked us Blessed us time and time again And some things take a little longer to see And sometimes we don't even hit the mark Dark thoughts gotta fight 'em Rather focus on our passions and ignite 'em Light 'em up, light 'em up Heaters to the sky Two shots for the Most High More love for you More love for the people And I'm thinking again If I am in a wonderland My family and friends they mean the most Explosive some people tend to be More loving But some people just pretend to be Truly for the cause Always pause and take a breath Less stress, I remember I&I again And yeah I know it's hard Who am I to judge Another man hey We all got battle scars I've come far and Yeah I'm still struggling But now I stay calm Patience is all that it takes To get an upper hand Be a mountain in the storm Stay strong Roll with the waves When you're under them

Mr. Disciple, so good to see you Tell me, what brings you in for today's session I just feel like I've been in a funk lately Maybe I'm in my head too much Focusing on what doesn't serve me I hear you well tell me in the past How have you typically handled a funk like this When I'm feeling out of touch And I'm feeling out of flow I just look inside for light for a glow For an ember in the dust That I trust I can blow just enough Oxygen so it grows watch it grow (yeah yeah) When I'm feeling out of touch And I'm feeling out of flow I just look inside for light for a glow For an ember in the dust That I trust I can blow just enough Oxygen so it grows watch it grow Cause life doesn't hold punches When I didn't know something I was quick to hold grudges yeah Against my own knowledge Wasn't patient I was pacing Racing back and forth in the matrix Wanna break the code Even moved to Mexico to change it But then I came up north Just to chase the dreams remaining Guess what huh (what, what) I face same demons You can change the scenery But yourself ain't leaving yes lord I Wanna go professional Left my girl in Mexico For the calling in my soul I miss her (huh) And her effervescent glow Every moment is precious Entonces gracias por todo uh Yeah keep feeding them flames (yeah) Pain the greatest teacher On what need to be changed And what need to remain The fire burns all that isn't pure (word) Spread your wings like a phoenix Fly from will not serve When I'm feeling out of touch And I'm feeling out of flow I just look inside for light for a glow For an ember in the dust That I trust I can blow just enough Oxygen so it grows watch it grow (Yeah yeah) When I'm feeling out of touch And I'm feeling out of flow I just look inside for light for a glow For an ember in the dust That I trust I can blow just enough Oxygen so it grows watch it grow yeah Just listen To the rustle of love's wind in the trees For reprieve in a jungle of uncomfortable feelings I need release beyond something to numb symptoms nah That ain't the reason I'm living With the gifts I was given I can become something different When I'm feeling distant from myself I sit with with him Draw from a well that's infinite My weakness are strengths If I pay attention So watch me as I break the limits Take my power back from out of Systematic simulations They wanna dim your light But don't know how to When you in alignment To a calling like a fire that devours Listen they wanna fade your flower But don't betray yourself For the comfort of a coward I dare you to be proud of Where you come from The creator of the galaxy The majesty no analogy can capture Cause actually you matter Despite what they touting From their algorithmic patterns That were made to disempower See actually you a master A masterpiece no cap bruh Your mastery is waiting Time to step into your power

Walking with peyote Letting go of everything that Can't control me I was in Mexico At a ceremony There I met a girl Era de Bogotá No entiende mi inglés But her aura strong Strong enough to strike a chord In my chest like accordions So I stretched Like cómo estás Spoke to her my best She listened like the earth And told me in a language not of man We deserve the world And everything in it Even the pain of putting Pressure on limits 'Cuz what is there to gain Never questioning systems That don't sustain And only drain I'm kept alive by a holy flame I'll never sever ties with it I sit in front of abuelito And offer tobaquito For all my people Dead and gone Even those still with us But they forgot The will to live We need medicine When we're sick But it's hidden in everything Ya dig Cause we all need medicine Ayo A tall tree never did grow With a lot of speed So you better take it slow That's my medicine I'm letting everything go Cause we all need medicine A tall tree never did grow With a lot of speed So you better take it slow That's my medicine Meanwhile in the west we still Peddling pills To no avail There's no panacea or holy grail But there's energy out there That can heal ya soul for real We need forgiveness to Move forward up that hill Too tortured by resentment Hoarding feelings unexpressed I was there sitting with myself Paranoid about a dream I didn't catch Now it seems I remember while I vent Something in the air Unprepared for what's next An ember in the flare Spoke to me Truth sweet as poetry All you need Is faith to grow from these pains And life force Is force like a forest flame that was Born from the smallest breeze Yo what a gift and A blessing to receive this life Take it to heart Everything ain't what it seems That's right And a spark Is all you need To manifest ya dreams alight And the best medicine Cannot be prescribed Cause we all need medicine Ayo A tall tree never did grow With a lot of speed So you better take it slow That's my medicine I'm letting everything go Cause we all need medicine A tall tree never did grow With a lot of speed So you better take it slow That's my medicine And in spite of what the idols say You can't find it in a diamond chain Tears you can wipe away with money But it's funny In your fear you can't hide from pain What purifies me is what I embrace Ain't scared of dying because life remains And love lives forever in the light of grace I dare ya to die daily And live to fight another day

When I left the Pacific Northwest I didn't know I'd miss the rivers Much as I did The forest like a fortress I'd retreat to the trees In the middle of the city of Portland Streets gritty as coarse sand Looking at my patterns like corsets Sitting with myself It wasn't all zen But I did it for my health, it was all blessed Still I was depressed Stressed about the cents I could barely pay my rent Uncle Sam wanted his I gave it with regret 'Cause who else is with me when I say Fuck the U.S. government But I digress Let me bring you up to speed like a Corvette See I been in Mexico Tryna find my focus No hablo español, pues Pero aprendí mucho In the mix of the cultures Even found myself sitting In the midst of Huicholes Taking sips of peyote juice And it showed me the truth No one told me There's ancestral tethers tied To every moment They held together by the bonds You can never sever There are past lives You can never get ahead of Only atone 'em in the moment So remember When the bones of our Ancestors rattle our emotions To pay attention 'Cause there are some battles That were never yours to rectify Direct your mind to the present The past you can let it die (huh) 'Cause there ain't nothing like home That's where my heart is I hope you find it Amidst the grind And the change of climates And if you're climbing Take your time Embrace the grime It's all enlightened Face the shrine in the city 'Cause everything divine Ain't pretty If that don't make sense there's Two sides to the penny Lately I been missing home Reminiscing 'bout the dips In the cold rivers Leaving frozen tips on My short whiskers It's been a whole trip Living in a climate With no shivers I feel like something's missing What is it? The stage Or the lone summits Where the snow glistens Did I forget my luggage on this trip I moved away I'm not the same And I'm no different Still been feeling out of place 'Cause I changed scenery But it's still the same life Since I was yay high Greatness haunted me Like a poltergeist Taunting me for the gold inside Temptation called on me But I know what's right Following the path Back into the holy light Calling on God Guide me through colder nights And keep the souls of my homies bonafide like (hey) 'Cause there ain't nothing like home That's where my heart is I hope you find it Amidst the grind And the change of climates And if you're climbing Take your time Embrace the grime It's all enlightened Face the shrine in the city 'Cause everything divine Ain't pretty If that don't make sense there's Two sides to the penny
