lyrics

this is what i'm giving.
musical existence.
crucially resistant to the movement of the lizards.
i'm insistent on living different
now, we can make the fire fly far if we're spitting it

what's wrong's wrong but
i'm still confident.
we must trust qigong.
it feels promising.
so i am cognizant of how i'm holding consciousness
i'm wanting you to cop it
i'm the opposite of stolid with it
i got my heart in the cause like i was marcus
always working hard, call me a dog the way i'm barking
they ain't orders when i'm talking, marking god up like a product
power comes in pieces, but you best believe it's getting solid

i'm honestly making good with my karma
even though i will admit i still admonish other artists hits
it's because i'm really fond of living on this blue comet
and we all are subconsciously starving it
by the way we live
we take away our kids' right to be alive in a place that ain't wasted
i'm not hating you if y'all don't wanna fight with me
i'm just saying dude, then we all might die quickly.

how could we survive the near third world war
if we thinking that a gear is what the third world's for?
how could we unite against the first tier's poor course
if we can't derive something healing from the earth's force?
if we can't flow with fluid motion holding focus like moses
how could we hope to lead our people like the chosen?
the hocus-pocus ain't bogus. if i could open your dome, i would try help you see that you always have known this.

i'm getting really sick of the slacking that i'm feeling in me
while my peers and me wait to attack it
these memes are eating us, breed in us like a maggot,
we need to achieve our freedom completely or it won't last, man
and that don't mean it's coming clean or easy,
it is feasible but it won't be so neat as they would all have you think
this ain't some overnight oversight over life
but it's totally rife and gonna grow and mobilize.
we are past the brink.
let's use both our eyes,
try to see something new we could use
we ain't gotta buy shoes, food or our booze, dude
we ain't gotta sign off our loot to them fools, too
i'm trying to remind you - we're being ruled through
a sick process
this corpracracy
is just the tip of the ice that we're locked in, see
i ain't right on a lot but you gotta be shocked
by the facts that i'm dropping in lines
watch

200 species depleted by our greediness needlessly,
daily, nobody's seeing it better let 'em know
but we ain't beaten, we're eating our only to key to being people,
plus your peoples are capable, need to let 'em grow
keep on breathing the vapors of THC cause
the studies say it leads to creativity - let it go!
i know they're evil from power but we ain't weak you got prowess
and i promise that you gotta just let it show

and stay living, man
you don't need a written plan
see the big picture and the niche that you're fitting in
what i'm figuring is happening:
shifting.
we're in a rush tryna get to position to push
but pushing's what we're doing when we're walking,
talking to onlookers when we shook 'em with our conversation
say, "be just non-complacent
and wake up the cats that you can
but be patient
and urgent"
i'm urging the surge to be emergent
and i'm certain that is
look
i see 'em hurting mad memes on the radio
that's what i'm saying bro
don't be scared
be driven
like mercedes
this culture is insane and it makes us fucking crazy
but we are not freeing our souls,
we're saving babies
and maybe it won't happen
and everything will crumble
babylon collapse and zion become rubble
maybe i'll be capped
or escape into the jungle
but know whatever happens i'm a soldier in the struggle
and i'm fighting
no guns if obama wanna git me
but i work with qi gong
and it's helping out plenty
they can send their new robotic sentries
fuck it
i'll be fighting for the rest of the century
and i breathe bliss
i ain't tryna lie
that's what i mean when i say we make fire fly
