Longway 03:42
From this distant vantage point The Earth might not seem of any particular interest But for us its different That's here That's home That's us On it everyone you love Everyone you know Everyone you ever heard of Every human being who ever was Lived out their lives Every saint and sinner in the history of our species Lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam Nighttime vibes, bright skies the lifeline Searching our souls, no clues of what we might find Connecting dots with stars inside the Kuiper Belt Swimming in cosmic pools, schooled by Michael Phelps Priceless wealth, derived from the natural Living out the fanciful they said it wasn't practical View the interplanetary as close to the chest Stardust, divinity evoked with each breath Red dwarf, scorching soul's a comet, sauna or supernova Vaporizing lies ascribed, truth is movin' closer Mesmerized by the splendor of it all Monolithic graced with untenable resolve From limited tenements denizens inside the mouth of madness To gettin' out and winning routs against bouts of sadness Flamed out but building houses on mounds of ashes Steadfast not dead last no doubts surpass us I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway Baptized in the sublime, divine, energized Always cleansing, inner-mind, ain't minimized Question if the youth, would gravitate to tragedy If they understood that they are hosting galaxies Carl Sagan once evinced that we are star stuff Comprised of the same components that leave us awestruck Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, prevalence Holiness personified, elemental preciousness When we transition, recycled into stratosphere So we reemerge reobserve the magic here Deja vu, metaphysical incidents Are nudges pushing us to peer into infinite Cyclicality unveils minutiae, our inner-workings Each moment is pivotal if we seek it's purpose Never devalue spirit over weak assertions Liege-blood, peons and naives, can't usurp us I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway I can tour the galaxy shuttles leave from my backyard Universal spirit appearing to us as cracked stars Bearing witness, puts me in a calm state Best seat in the cosmos is in Longway Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience There is perhaps no better demonstration Of the folly of human conceits Than this distant image of our tiny world To me, it underscores our responsibility To deal more kindly with one another And to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot The only home we've ever known

Hedonism 03:01
Gradient gravity, gleaming in your peripheral Prosecco on my breath too betting they get a whiff of you It's sensory overload our ensembles never minimal We're veterans, indelible, peddling into center-view Ritualistically sipping booze, crew reciprocal Tripping, pimping off liquor, everything's permissible Chosen from the jump, no meeting, greeting or interviews Usual's decorum, hedonism medicinal Sloppy, tipsy, shots of scotch whiskey Prox C, twisted watch as plots thickening Lit chronic, spliffs bombing, hit the Loft for appeal Quixotic, mixed tonic, sip, sophomoric thrills Paid the piper dazed from Jaegermeister Gauged this place the stage was caged as lifers Appraising rates our plays have raised the price up Saving grace is Ace of Spades it's nice cuh Braggadocios, glimmer in any interim Adrenaline on ten, still presented as gentlemen The Sentiment won't intermit, imminent are the benefits Apprentices aren't limited still we're low key as Hiddleston Tonight's our heyday Keep the blams tucked ain't no time for waylay A safe space, we don't want it laced with sprayed mace Vacate, wait, don't disgrace the playscape Proxy That's nice Hear that That was smooth wasn't it Come here And have a little fun on this one man Let your hair down a little bit Chill and enjoy yourself The party's on us Let's go Half a fifth deep, chilling but vertiginous Ecstatic right now, though healing is worse isn't it? Hangover inbound, sobriety is tentative All cool, gathering proprietary benefits Alcohol steadily lowers my inhibitions Back to back shots no stops or intermissions That's a fact, Prox so hot the wind is sizzling Acrobats got to drop it for our entrance (Salud) Here's to settling our differences Camaraderie tonight feeling better than barbiturates Tequila tranquilizers, elephant darts hittin' us That ripped from absinthe, Helluva heart sippin' it Charisma profiled when entering locales Time's ticking crowds wanna finish with more style Prime pickings now, all the women are corralled And i'm sittin' down if the images go down Movements are perfect, so with gruesome inertia Rollin' dude is assertive bro i'm ruling the surface They were lackin' what we're after yo we flew in a merchant Yes frugality is done whenever choosing a purchase Makin' our appearances known like scorned hecklers Amassing this math so fast we've formed vectors Don't ask if we average cat, was born reckless Pour for the homies and don't splash my Doernbechers I hope yall enjoyed yall selves tonight The number one party Well this the number one party In the world man The litest place in the Universe I hope yall come and join us again Thank you The pleasure's all mine

All of reality Including all life and consciousness Is the manifestation of a Unitary Energy Being In simplest terms, everything that exists is God There is nothing that is not God Surface emerges certain lysergic Dreams seem teaming gleaning my purpose Detox poison feels like i'm herxing Obsession, expressing genius i'm birthed with Prismatic thoughts race Pulsing like Gauss waves Mesmerized, can't feel my heartrate Immaterial, wow, float through stargates Find alignment in the psilocybin Mind is vibrant, strident time skips Hush, attuned to the vibes of silence Awash, euphoria, seen the tides flip Supine, ease your mind and breathe Too wise, visualize release Woosah, emphasizing peace Hoorah, when the signs repeat Safety in stillness, Buddha-minded Crystal acuity is the true assignment Everything's everything, feel it all at once Keep on evolving till you vault that hump Meditating, plan is simple Medications are transcendental Rhapsodic when I manned a pencil Flying so high and the landings gentle Reality, the physical and mental universe That we find ourselves in is what God is doing Headspace real zen Matter fact Satori Matter fact Satori And the colors alright But the fractals floored me And the colors alright But the fractals floored me But the fractals floored me But the fractals floored me And the colors alright But the fractals floored me And the colors alright But the fractals floored me Transcendent, Ajna wide open Grand tempests, modified potions Advanced diction, propounders my voice when Man's christened, proud of each choice then Limitation only a myth to me Planets play funk, enjoying the symphony Elapsed timespans keep upping intensity Godlike lessons, viewing them senselessly Wavelengths, glitch through spacetime Embraced rise, face my fate fine Create signs, redefining baselines Erased grime, afterglowing on day nine My live sessions hit the scene Skydiving on dimethyltryptamine Feels palpable, ain't just a dream Reality revised, changing it structurally Anointed, energetic body's a fortress Voids, rifts, teleporting feeling amorphous Metacognition listen physics visually warping Morphogenetic, auric field is absorbent Dilated pupils unveil baroque imagery Hemispheric tandem dance promotes synergy Cranial abode is the host for the Gods Mania was ghost once I opened my eyes Both large-scale and small-scale structures From quantum objects to DNA And river systems are fractal expressions Headspace real zen Matter fact Satori Matter fact Satori And the colors alright But the fractals floored me And the colors alright But the fractals floored me But the fractals floored me But the fractals floored me And the colors alright But the fractals floored me And the colors alright But the fractals floored me Life and consciousness are also fractal expressions of energy And exhibit fundamental geometry as expressed Through habitual behaviors, Thought patterns Mannerisms, belief systems, and means of personal and individual expression God is a fractal energy being That unifies all of reality through multiple energetic permutations of itself In infinite forms simultaneously

From a little enclave, just off of Saginaw Those in this sector want paradise but can't have it dog And tragic flaw is that rap is obsessed with bragging yall That's why I babble on about Avalon in my travelogues Rhetoric's heaven sent, stay abreast with a clever sound 90's baby cloaked in the afterbirth of the nether-realm Elegant I represent for prevalent impact Pepper or bespeckle tracks with eloquent syntax Cheffing up these sonnets we got non-stop catering To fuel a revolution call me Jean-Jacques Dessalines Tasteless, in the kitchen cooking flagrant moves to make But i'm bringing more flavors to savor than cajun bouillabaisse Here comes the boom, our bap brings soul Keeping listeners jazzed up like Nat King Cole When the rhythm hit us flooded with a deluge of emotion These new sonics are the preludes that evokes it Time waits for no man, peeping this observation Contemplation serves to feature that proclamation Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration There's wisdom in concentration Time waits no man, peeping this observation Contemplation serves to feature that proclaimation Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration There's wisdom in concentration Expensive timepieces can only map out the microcosm Truth Stranger Than Fiction move around like my life's a novel Tryna meet the Gods, I walk abroad in them Aether garbs Cut from steel fabric, Illmatic my teacher's Nas Solar streams weaved into the seaming of my genes Don't know much about mathematics yet these edicts are supreme Alabaster ornaments adorning my perception As a constant reminder that this rhyming is fluorescent Entwined in the threading of time, I'm like a haberdasher Panoptical mantras topics diverse as Madagascar Painted poetics rival galactic latticework Nothing came Ex Nihilo I had to form the habits first Hypnotic oration, mesmerizes the most adept Then loosens the grip of those who chose to promote duress Believe in reaching demons, heathens, even talk to godless I'mma keep em nodding out in Eden, Shangri-La, or Jannah, honest Time waits for no man, peeping this observation Contemplation serves to feature that proclamation Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration There's wisdom in concentration Time waits no man, peeping this observation Contemplation serves to deepen my concentration Forethought is clear, there's wisdom in concentration There's wisdom in concentration

Leitmotifs 03:13
Same themes recurring, swipes your sleep There until I face them, leitmotifs Time moves in circles Time moves in circles I'll work until I make the choice That's right for me That's right for me I'll work until I make the choice That's right for me Delving deeper into semiotics, surfaces are lies I've surmised that the who is us, let's figure out the whys Challenges encountered on this bumpy road are multifaceted Que Sera Sera, but acceptance is the asterisk When it's said and done will they glorify my passages? Hoist my body up, parade it through the streets like Maximus Or am I cliched? Potential, but no wrangle on the self Ushered out to Hollywood to languish on a shelf Perturbed forced to choose between: consciousness or coonery Dumbest thing i'd ever do is let the public choose for me Truthfully, sycophancy steers you close eulogy Adversion to the foolishness but do it for approval see Duality, between obstacles you're sandwiched Realized I am both the painter and the canvas Delirious but introspecting is the predication Experience is sensei, it coached my revelations Same themes recurring, swipes your sleep There until I face them, leitmotifs Time moves in circles Time moves in circles I'll work until I make the choice That's right for me Same themes recurring, swipes your sleep There until I face them, leitmotifs Time moves in circles Time moves in circles I'll work until I make the choice That's right for me Lyrically expansive, yet boxed in by flummoxed crowds College dropout ironically i'm told to dumb it down Lumped in with the flexers, degenerates, mumble rappers Progressive prose but impatient, cannot stumble backwards I don't want to propagate depictions of ne'er-do-wells Who benefit financially, but don't seem to care who's jailed I look around and see the next Hughes, Angelou, Cesaire But taught vanity, skewed to lose tangibles for flair Does sticking to my principles create a prima-donna? Or is my resolve a result of how I cling to honor? Straddle fine lines between preachy and prophetic Music's just a medium, manna's in it's message An insane statement it's painstaking but labors taught That those nature walks formed the basis for my sagacious thought Chaos is ubiquitous but now we must admit this Seems the wisest ones see the whole, not the reductionistic Same themes recurring, swipes my sleep There until I face them, leitmotifs Time moves in circles Time moves in circles I'll work until I make the choice That's right for me Same themes recurring, swipes my sleep There until I face them, leitmotifs Time moves in circles Time moves in circles I'll work until I make the choice That's right for me Same themes recurring, swipes my sleep There until I face them, leitmotifs Time moves in circles Time moves in circles I'll work until I make the choice That's right for me Yeah

Fearless Nights Fearless Nights Dusk makes me stronger Umbra will reveal my light I feel invincible in shadow when I wield a mic Fearless Nights Fearless Nights Fearless Nights This a serenade for progenitors that paved the way Rap's brainchild trust fall into omega waves Stern, unflappable, letting go of wavered states Cosmos right next me, savoring the neighbored rays A sucker for pain, smiling, limped around on brittle bones Stayed strong, napalm the type of fume i'm living on Contemplative genesis, conviction hits, showtime Oxymoronic gained quick wit from slow mind A ghost inside machines, views are transhumanistic My mechanized mandible grants you permission To masticate the opposition, obstacles are obsolete when I'm on the top rostrum and I postulate these Oxford speeches A Conquistador, don heat for war Monster, Kong's bestial roar Or these bomb beats will forge A pathway wherein which I shall exude mastery Exalted footsteps cannot stride with apathy Fearless Nights Fearless Nights Dusk made me stronger Umbra will reveal my light I feel invincible in shadow when I wield a mic Fearless Nights Fearless Nights Fearless Nights Laser-trained artillery, lyrically rush squadrons Maim yall like chainsaws the human Husqvarna Steeped in psychokinesis if putting pens to paper Reverence off name alone, never needed a demonstration A vindicator, avenger, visage is venerated Running simulations, too advanced to be emulated I'm the type of specimen that baffles archaeologists To me, so-called specialists appear as partly competent Dominant dreadnought produced a dead populace Residue I left upon the mic is red phosphorous Apparent vibes are rarefied, now bare in mind, I dare say I'll terrorize the fairer skies and paraglide through airwaves I'm kind of simply the cognoscenti of rhymes a plenty They, trying to tempt me but higher sensing inspires shifting Plus, sweltering stanzas, my Infernos merit song It's combustion if I touch you I got thermobaric palms Fearless Nights Fearless Nights Dusk makes me stronger Umbra will reveal my light I feel invincible in shadow when I wield a mic Fearless Nights Fearless Nights Fearless Nights
