Sly - Authenticity Lyrics

I don't know how long they'll allow me to speak
But the evidence of intelligence
Lies within these messages
The spark, lights up the brush into a fire
The breath, inspires to go higher and re-wire
Man, I was homeless and hopeless
And still practiced my craft
You want the shine, but you don't want to deal with the path
I came here to leave behind anger, joy, and sorrow
Leaving traces of life, in human form
For the next tomorrow
So I bend the light, as I close my eyes
Letting the voices speak, as I breach, and reach
To open a heart to relieve
Head-zones from head-phones
Vibrate the stone that's thrown
The best philosophy is to follow your own
Everybody follows a trend
Really glad that you can attend
But it narrows down to a low percent
From who is real, and who is pretend
Take it seriously or you regret
I'm the architect building a quest
Alchemist with the alphabet
Who I am eliminates a threat

I walk what I speak
What do you see
Authenticity
I walk what I speak
What do you see
Authenticity
As above, so below

Kicking open this door
Separating ceilings and floors
Head and heart are my new ports
Expanding life is what I live for
Switch your sight, to see more
Awareness I explore, expressing further more
That my core, is what pours out forevermore
Learning about my health and wealth
Braking out of these hard shells
You can get out of your hell
Once you understand it's all yourself
I can't help but to influence
We stagnant or we movement
In order to change yourself from the start
Know why, what, and who you are
Aquarius, with literariness
Everybody wants to be famous, and it's hilarious
No need to look like your typical rapper
Unleash chapters and observe the matter
Accept the facts, of this mental rap
Master your craft, or get the f*ck back
Reading personalities
The method spells mentality
My verses spread to the galaxies
Instrumentalities with reality
Kill the dramatics
Not the first, but not the last one to have it
Real as it gets, hold up your fist
If you don't stand for the bullshit
