Some fly high off that marijuana stench Some dig deeper than the Mariana trench Some find god in the televisionsnow We all keep it in but its best to let it go and BREATHE, your alive Equalize both horizons of your mind You’re here, your alive Equalize both horizons of your mind Value wisdom over knowledge Books over looks, love over power I’m a million years of ancient soul Singing songs of sacred poems and lessons shared through fables told, listen.. I knew a young prodigy, creatively inventive Rediscovered free-energy fully independent of the grid Just a kid who would change the world forever Investor’s offered millions for his brilliant endeavors Enchanted by the government, lured into their possession Seized by the military, used as a weapon he tried to fight against it but he signed the dotted line Now he’s on the run, hiding trying not to lose his mind.. The system's got him stressin, forgettin all his dreams, losin his attention focus on redemption, instead of pointless pretensions move in all directions, shift between dimensions History is written by the victors Truth isn’t proof if it’s hidden in a picture Everyone’s a winner when nobody’s competing Free to Live your life, write something worth reading History is written by the victors Truth isn’t Proof if it’s hidden in a picture Everyone’s a winner when nobody’s competing Free to Live your life, Write a LiFE worth Leading. A greedy suit in a high position of power ruining lives and making millions by the hour let the Corporation control his only soul selfish pig feeding on that space cadet glow. Watched his colleague make headlining news who confessed to the corruption their company abused A whistle blower on the run, heading towards the sun overwhelmed with the dread he fearfully grabbed his gun Thought about the poor families he destroyed All the children they either killed or employed All the television drugs and alcohol to numb the guilt His soul broke free from the pressure that he built He ran to the top floor, heart pounding in his chest Wide awake knowing now he could never rest Prayed for forgiveness screaming up at the sky looking down upon the city believing he can fly Some fly high off that marijuana stench Some dig deeper than the Mariana trench Some find god in the televisionsnow We all keep it in but its best to let it go AND BREATHE, your alive Equalize both horizons of your mind You’re here, your alive Equalize both horizons of your mind

catch you later calculator I am a man of nature, star navigator along the path of flavor, satchel full of paper, analog tapes, no pager cloak of alligator skin, master negotiator born out of a qwazaar, you were born in an incubator, haters of my nature fall incinerator you can always call me your friendly, wise neighbor wand made of holly, ancient light sabor wrapped in annunaki heart string, master of all "ologys" calling me your holy Star King staff made of coral reef from Atlantis I energize by the moon and dragon meat sandwhiches disguised as the homeless vagabond you pass by in the back alleys observing you w/ my black eyes the only way you'll find me is to follow maggots vanish deep beneath the core into the hollow planet time does not exist guiding us since our birth into a hollow earth Don't call me your lil bro, ill punch your nose and stuff your throat w/ an open artichoke, sacrificing rappers at a Quest Haven gathering it wreaked of faygo and the laughter was maddening mad-hatter cavalry storm into my fort I burn sage for protection and rock jewels of quartz. I ring the sirens, this is not a fire drill bring the violence and mayhem, Silent Hill bring the science w/ a mystic minded vibrant skill while your stuck in black n white kinda miming still your systems full of parasites feenin for attention eatin all your terabytes, and cheatin on your lessons did I mention? if you cant break the connection your gettin detention w/ the kids in the 5th dimension pass the crystal bong of space herbs to Merlin turnin my trip from observant to disturbin I was worshiped by Aliester Crowley to master the craft of wizardry listen slowly lumos imperio bombarda crucio patronus of a phantom head of fire, Rufio puncturing your sphere of influence by the day bitch smacked Anton Lavey and made him dig his own grave

I travel space in a cutlass supreme got the chicken pox in the Philippines then again when I was 16? Living in a fever dream that never ends What is real when most pretend? Wrote a list of things to do, start a large fire Next, put out a large fire Get the front page of national enquirer Bungee jump, retire. So many days to acquire/ so many trees to admire too many grays in the wire/ too many people to inspire me I'm an advocate for positive energy Nostalgic remedies, prank call your enemies Laughter is a habit of the healthy Capture the magic of the rapture in a selfie? I failed a personality test No patience for the dumb on this reality quest w/out reinforcement you rapidly unwind build words with everlasting design w/out balance your empire will crumble w/out experience you’re a child in a bubble everyone talks but nobodies listening everyone talks but whose listening? too many mouths and not enough ears disappear for a year, reappear w/a beard don’t blame it on the cocaine, blame it on the Coltrane still rocked my uniform when there was no game riding on spaceship earth on a soul-train re-calibrate my robo-brain celebrate this experience called life don’t sleep, we create all night shy kid, young, cool, laid back vivid ideas, let me create that i'm living in a lucid world but treat her right or your gonna lose that girl got bored w/ school so I took a vacation got bored w/ that so I went back To school, felt outta place when people where changing ..Some kids can be so cruel Fashionably ugly, a calculated decorum RIP, cause of death was boredom Life is a movie, you’re the director Behind your eyelids, mind the projector The wise old owl sat on an oak The more he saw the less he spoke The less he spoke the more he heard Why aren’t we more like the bird?

I pray you awaken and your smarts will increase so you can see the truth about the market of the beast open your ears to these bars as we speak so you can see the truth about the market of the beast Generik: your a target of the beast, so watch what you think be mindful of your moves when your marchin in the streets what you choose to reveal on your own social media is an arsenal of weapons to the global militia systematically dumbing down, conditioning the children to forget how to listen and obey the prison be mindful of where you decide to put your dollar are you a zombie shopper? or a thoughtful scholar? addicted to material and simulate the enemy I know its easy to get lost and lose identity and yes, history is written by the victors so keep it alive in the minds of the listeners survive and thrive, we can free all the prisoners of the illusion we choose to be ruled by sinister sociopaths, self-proclaimed gods alternative living is how we break the facade I pray you awaken and your smarts will increase so you can see the truth about the market of the beast open your ears to these bars as we speak so you can see the truth about the market of the beast

at first we found nothing but space there is nothing more abundant than nothing nothing more silent than the silence of the ether floating weightless like an upper sea creature and im releaved to finally get away from it all i find peace of mind alone without having to fall back to recluse, a hermit on a mission to find gems then I got to mars and was greeting by them "..flying saucers intend to come to earth and.." beam you up, show us what we're doin wrong, show us where we belong, show us how to live, expose us to the corruption on earth told us how they were here first and how we're spiritual beings trapped in a physical realm imprisoned in our skulls under invisible spells controlled by the few, a war for your mind if your gonna fight for truth, now is the time they told us how the moon is space ship created by an ancient race who did nothing but great shit they consider it a sattelite, watching and revolving round the earth along a path of light told us of the pyramids on mars and every other inhabited planet under the stars and how life is abundant, throughout the multiverse so why on earth do we do dumb shit? humankind is still primitive trapped by religions which plague our infinite potential, these words are monumental to the folk and instrumental to your growth detrimental like a spoke to a wheel spinning on its axis we can evolve concsciously w/ practice go and Dora explore it rediscover the knowledge and absorb it its what they told me its what they showed me politiced w/ the hollow earth wizards. peacefull people who are at war with the lizards

look ma' so samples all original compositions written in blood for witches and bugs who give every individual love with a cynical lust for risidual trust with fellow man a bond beyond a simple shake of hand a bloodline that traces back to the ancient land timeless folklores that have survived the test of time if you show me yours I'll show you the best of mine a prisoner in a labrynth of torture a hollow-shelled sorcerer w/ elaborate disorders a king amonst theives, living in luxury glory power and over abundancy a saint, sharing his soul w/ the poor doesn't take much but always gives more a loser hiding from the past never leaves the house w/out a mask or a flask

On my way to the door I was stopped by the eyes of a faceless breathing. I couldn't tell what I was seeing, I only noticed it was being. I stepped outside and listened to the silence caught my breath in the icicle air overwhelmed by the star glow vibrant realized I wasn't the only person there I heard a familiar voice, like the path we've taken was by similar choice a haunting yet comforting sound, whispered through the trees, lifted by the clouds sinking under the weight of heavy thoughts, palms sweaty eyes blurred by the blizzard of confetti like a child lost in the television snow asleep w/ eyes open, gazing at the glow let your business go and let your system slow let the stillness grow and let the wisdom flow spoke to me like an old song Ive had hidden in my mind for so long Ive certainly been here before constellations on the floor I continue to explore Ive certainly been here before constellations on the floor I continue to explore All I hear is my heartbeat, an owl in the distance, the stillness of existence your pulse radiating star heat, from nothing comes everything, let the silence speak All I hear is my heartbeat, an owl in the distance, the stillness of existence your pulse radiating star heat, from nothing comes everything, let the silence speak All I hear is the scratching of my pencil the whisper of a gentle clock ticking instrumental time is precious, precious is time cherish yours and I wont waste minds how deep does it get? curiosity insatiable body is temporary, soul aint replaceable I close my eyes and all I see is light I listen to my gut and all I hear is right these are the feelings you cant deny you can only move with it. You must comply dance w/ the winds, enchanted within no measuring when it pushes out or pulls in it will lead you where you need to be mentally, spiritually come be a seed w/ me cultivate what needs to be done lets grow together and reach for the sun
