lyrics

Yo,
Let's get really real about it,
I don't know if you're ready for the realness,
Let's get it:

I AM
Not afraid to bust,
Why these other sleep walkers are afraid of us,
Betray the trust,
Of the blind lead the blind 'till this mechanized conveyor rust,
You say enough,
But if you really where about it then you probably wouldn’t even have to say as much,
I call your bluff,
Do you step up,
Or leave your passion on the shelf man, collectin' dust,
(collectin' dust, it's collectin' dust,)
Tip-toein' on the topic like you neva seen a,
Elephant in the room dancin' like a ballerina,
When Ganesh starts steppin' in,
Compassion is my weapon an',
Your own intelligence,
The inner seer,

So what the fuck you gunna do about it?
Don't talk about it just be about it,
Just be about it, just be about it, just move,
Lets do it,

Deity:
I gotta be about it,
'Till I dream about it,
'Till I can't live with out it,
Cause I'd be nobody,
And I, never felt myself until I be stephonix,
No records on the shelf and you ain't eatin' homie,
I gotta feed my stomach so I believe in tryin',
So now's the right time to do what I claim,
Fuck hopin' on it,
I'ma do my thang,
Most chokin' on it,
I'ma watch my lane,
(you son of a bitch)
And keep focused emotion,
Flowing explodin' implodin',
Put me closer to my elephants in the room,
Y'all been locked in a zoo,
Fuck the elements,
Now I got the composure,
To put this lonely rock you call earth in the mood,
For another composer,

I AM:
I shine cause my minds got that 3rd eye open,
Most just sit in with the lights out hopin’,
While I’m out spoken,
You figured as much,
Real critical skeptic with a cynical touch,
If you’re feeling the rush,
Your feeling the devotion,
Infinity flux,
And just for a moment you can feel it erupt,
This line reach ya till you feel it in your sneakers heart head and your gut,
And if you’re fully present in this moment my people won't ya put your hands up,
Fuckin' put your hands up,

We know that we can do it, then we prove it when do it,
Then we do it like we do it, never through with, but we do it,
Like WHAT!?

What you do,
Is who you be,
Not intentions or prophesy,
You do you,
And I’ll do me,
And you’ll see whats possible,
When I put my mind to it unstoppable,
Man drop the bull,
Be responsible,
Consequently my philosophical,
Logic's deontological,

About to bring this Hip to this Hop,
Never ever flop,
Never ever stop,
Never,
Don't believe me just watch,
Stop,
Wait a minute,
I find my bowl and put some sticky in it,
Life takes it's tole, it's kinda tricky idnit,
I'm on my roll, you know you benefited,
I's on my mind and I'm on my grind and I'm gonna get it,

Deity:
On the beat,
Let me breath,
What you see's what you perceive,
When I'm outside of rhythm I cease to be,
Outsider feelin' like I'm pleased to meet,
Another low down, down low, fuck believe,
You want the whole pound now bro? Fuck Police,
We keep the city on lock like a fuckin' disease,
But that's just perception misdirected,
You wanna talk, talk truth, and I bet I believe,
So don't abandon dreams,
Love is the meta-seen/medicine,
Feel it in every moment it's betterin' everything.

You won't know till you try,
Be patience with it till you can,

I AM:
Castles in the sky I'm buildin',
I fill them from ceilin' to ceilin',
Some will be,
I’m still in,
I’m willin,
To seek and then find and then fill in,
If you got feelin',
Jump up touch the cellin' like,
He might be the illiest or realist fleshy gorilla who ever touch the mic,
Dealers in dolomite,
Show you right,
Know it’s tight ,
Wheeler and dealers have confidence but do they have the light,
Can they really let it shine bright,

You won't know till you try,
Be patience with it till you can,

Only got one life,
One mind,
One mic,
One May,
One Might,
Stay up all night,
Insight in sight,
Invite Enlightened light in,
Like lightning strike,

You won't know till you try,
Be patience with it till you can,

I'm givin' my gift,
This is my body, my blood,man this is my shit,
This is my love, my heart, my niche,
My soul, my desire to uplift,
Speakin' my mind, my wish,
Man my conscience insists,
That this song exists,
I take my proper place on that top 5 list,
You study up and practice,
And maybe one day you can step to this,
Come on,

You won't know till you try,
Be patience with it till you can,
