Yeah
What's the first thing that your mind think of
When you wake up, now what's your life made of
Blink up and look, yeah we came from the vertical
But they put you in the ground when they murder you
They don't want you really yelling from the precipice
Pointing out all these wide open entrances
Nah, they'd rather charge you for your entry
Guarding the garden and at the far end there's a sentry
Pardon the fiend, my thumb's staying green
Hands staying clean, I'm a one man team
What's it mean, when you really don't cling
Except to your dream because that's your one thing
Yeah now what's a ring if it don't ring true
Aye it's all a circle from a certain point of view
Yeah what to do when there's so much to be done
Lost in the numbers when it's all about the one
They wanna charge us for the arboretum, yeah
They putting nature in a mausoleum, aye
Hermetically sealed, sliding in the DM
Fresh breath from the AM to the PM
Direct messages, what the essence is
Get in touch with the roots for some emphasis
I just profess to find what the lesson is
Yeah to find out what the lesson is
Around the clock they just tryna keep us ticked off
Talk shit, you can tell that they switch soft
Even flipped on you can see they ain't strong
Crush they catalog with just like one song, yo
What's your focal point with no distractions
They want half my slice of the pie with no fractions
I want the whole thing, I let my soul sing
I just came to ball out like a bowl ring
Yeah, commemoration of your whole team
Yeah dropping new styles on your old scene
Aye, I know it seam like they all about things
It's lots of fraudulence out here chasing dreams
Doubt stings the worst cuz you really know you dope
But if you don't believe then nobody gonna know
A seed in the soil that's potential that's been sewn
But it need some shine and some water to be grown
They wanna charge us for the arboretum, yo
They putting nature in a mausoleum, aye
Hermetically sealed, sliding in the DM
Fresh breath from the AM to the PM
Direct messages, what the essence is
Get in touch with the roots for some emphasis
I just profess to find what the lesson is
To find out what the lesson is
What's the now if it don't tap forever
What's the how if it don't bring us together
What's allowed when they do things they'd never
Yeah what's the Tao it's the way that we enter
Yeah, all I, all I wanna find
A little bit of space and a little bit of time
Yeah, all we do is miss the signs
So I got my head up just to taste the shine, yeah
They wanna charge us for the arboretum, aye
They putting nature in a mausoleum, yeah
Hermetically sealed, sliding in the DM
Fresh breath from the AM to the PM
Direct messages, what the essence is
Get in touch with the roots for some emphasis
I just profess to find what the lesson is
Yeah to find out what the lesson is

A call to action.
We wanted a revolution, but they just ran us around in circles. Here to speak truth, to say what needs
to be said. And the beats are f#@kin bangin.
Do your best.
See the positive. Transform the world.
