Yesterday, forget it
+
Tomorrow is, nada
+
The present is, right here, through the breath, watch it
+
Atheist Jesus piece, hangin' on a cross
+
We sit and discuss God on lawn chairs
+
About how we got here,
+
What it is, what it isn't, shit
+
Fate versus faith, scrimmagin' with coincidence
+
Leave out the market and hold up on the business end
+
Focus on the genuine, with everything else, you can shed the skin
+
I was a couple moves away from being dead
+
In that ER overdosin', eyes bleedin' red
+
I fell in love, made an album, got a buzz
+
Lost it all, sobered up and guess what?
+
Now we meet again
+
And I'm back, finally just laughin'
+
Expectations are resentments waiting to happen
+
Studying the Dharma, Karma of a pastor and his practice
+
Gautama Buddha, God, to the mountaintop and I'm traveling
+
Learnin', yes, reflectin' on what matters
+
People, permanence, lack of attachments
+
It's space and time, a couple man-made distractions
+
The measure of a spirit that no human can ever capture
+
Church, this booth is my Vatican
+
I don't control life, but I can control how I react to it
+
Student of the breath, brick beats and balancin'
+
Desire versus truth until I finally find happiness
+
I was put here to do something before I'm lyin' in that casket
+
I'd be lyin' on the beat if I said I didn't know what that is
+
The world's a stage and we play a character, I found him
+
It took me 20 something years and a bunch of shitty sound checks
+
I'm not gonna be content, until I find gratitude
+
Regardless of my sales or the record deals they're handin' you
+
If the next generation takes our legacy and samples you
+
We'll have a bunch of mp3's and misled kids to pass 'em to
+
I use my veins to create the color I paint from
+
Delve into something 'til my heart becomes my paint brush
+
I told my mama I'm not stoppin' 'til my name's up
+
Thinkin' those comments on that blog is gonna save us
+
Searchin' for everything but Gods and validation
+
Get insecure and then we start blamin' the haters
+
Used to look to women to fill a part of me that was vacant
+
Truth, the only thing that I ever used in moderation
+
So I stare into this paper instead of sitting at a cubicle
+
Take all ugly shit inside and try to make it beautiful
+
Use the cement from rock bottom and make it musical
+
So the people can relate to where I've been,
+
Where I'm going, what I've seen, what I've heard
+
From the guts, f*ck the glory
+
Just a person on a porch putting it all into recording
+
Many in my past and many that came before me
+
I just keep walkin' my path and blessed to share my story
+
