I AM THE UNIVERSE PROJECT PART 2:
Who is this I AM? The mind wants more.
I wanna grab people in the street and say:
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS?
(Megatron, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Carl Jung, Ken Wilber,
and some eastern Guru who I don't know about or want to endorse)

While I'm in the limelight,
I rhyme like,
You think I'm out of my mind,
Cause I'm way ahead of time,
And I'm still refining,
Reaching my prime,
Yeah I'm steady climbin',
While your gettin' left behind tike,
And it's so likely,
That you might find me,
Smokin' mad joints like Spike Lee,
Hitin' them trees, feelin' the breeze,
Chillin' taking deep breaths, feeling at ease.
They don't wanna battle me with philosophy,
They wanna fight me,
and turn around and bite me,
And try to write a rhyme just like me,
but just can't manage to get loose so tightly,
Not even slightly.
Man I Shine so brightly,
like the sun. My Apollo G's.
Out rhyme and out shine mediocrity,
Davidian integral pluralistic methodology,
I lead by example and you follow G,
What you call religion is mythology,
So closed minded and dishonestly,
You impose your ideas and it bothers me,
You obviously,
Can't get past your own hypocrisy,
You're Too slow to grow,
You'd never want to step to me toe to toe,
You'd rather talk this and that and so and so, and so it goes.
But there's a reason it's a mystery,
Cause no one knows,
And all throughout history,
It's rapped in prose,
You still wouldn't get it if I rapped real slow,
Still over your head even when you turn up your nose,
But my brother from another mother,
If you're feelin' these flows,
Say hey and say ho,
And if the beats still droppin',
Keep on rockin till they close the do(or)s,
And if it's the case G,
That in the place to be,
That everybody knows that everybody knows the Gnosis,
Everybody suppose that it's suppose to be,
Then chill for a minute let the silence speak.
Yo, this DJ can drop the beat.

And no one dared disturb the sound of silence...

Yo I Rip flows fantastically,
Kick mad verbal backflips gymnastically,
Homie I mastered the,
Art of attack of the track to get past the beat,
Just how it has to be, accuse me of blaspheme,
But I still got you shaken you head YES,
As I bless, cause you know I'm so so fresh,
Huh, I didn’t hear ya, cause I’m so so def,
Well who’s the next fool to step to get their rep ripped in half,
Remember Jesus cried but buddha laughed,
And krishna clapped with one hand tied behind his back,
(Impressive)
This is a fact,
Somewhere I got medusas severed head in a sack,
Sometimes I’m home alone,
And I need to get stoned,
To get my life (state) back on track,
Cause life's an act,
And I’m a method actor,
I'll be playin' my part,
Cause I shine so bright,
And the worlds so dark,
Sometimes I think I‘m the only man with a heart,
Or a brain,
Like the whole worlds totally lame and insane,
Goin' of the rails of the crazy train,
It’s only evolutions so theres no one to blame,
I’ll bless the mic and long as I remain,
I hit you with explicit truth never the tame,
Never the same,
You should never hesitate to get up, grow up, and change,
Cause you’re only stagnatin' if you’re set in your ways,
You only get one life, don’t live it stuck in a daze
Unconsciously playing plays,
Like your job, family, friends, life, and your name,
Your life is lame compared to what it could be should be,
Man it’s just a damn shame,
Every single day is the same,
You strive for the fame,
But your living your life just like another mother fucking pawn in the game,

And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains, within the sound of silence,

You got the sorrowful symptoms,
Your a sucka for samsara,
So drunk on the dharma,
That it’s effecting you karma,
I’m standing naked before you while your covered in ya armor,
And yet I still manage to damage ya and disarm ya,
Even though it’s not really not even my goal to harm ya,
I unwind your mind like it was yarn ya,
Don’t even know what happened,
My rappin' took it to another word like it was Narnia,
Darn ya maybe shouldn’t even of tried it,
Man do you know King David even slays Goliath,
My life's a revolution, every songs a riot,
I’m spreadin' the good news,
Man i got the philosophical tools,
And I’m even teachin' fools to apply it,
Way past argument by Keynes and Hayek,
We should all know that this fuckin' systems violent,
Way too many brothers and sisters dyin’,
I even got your baby momma on a vegan diet,
And she told me that she really likes it
Maybe you should try it.
