lyrics

for somnambulists that run rampant in
the nocturnal, my journal shines like some amethyst
fresh out of dr. caligari's cabinet. ravenous when ravagin
lies propagandized upon the masses and
i'm tappin into frequencies with transcendental features. seen
duality of man manifested in some evil scenes.
so with the reefer, breath, like tai chi with chai tea.
moon can't describe the sights seen in the nights he's
submitted to the will of his 3rd eye's lead.
history or future, it's more lucid than when i dream.
so i transcribe these images to lyrics spit
wit the intent of liftin spirits like "cheers. here's to spliffs,
here's to liqs, here's to you if you feelin it."
my lyrics got layers. a mix of sediment and sentiment.
at beer pong tables, periodically in my element.
where we smoke volcanos for the mount saint hell of it.
and 'cause the beast sees menace in my melanin
and escapism's great; when i'm shakin, the haze is settlin.
i took the mask off to blast off like the elohim.
the late of a poet who ascended and never fell again

and nothin about my stanzas is standard. it's verified.
my flow is four nickles yo, it'll change your paradigms.
it's like they're terrified of paradise, whereas i
wanna pursue it as well as truth no matter where it hides.
i wanna live unaware of time and space to find
the place described by nostradamus and edgar cayce like
take me away from life. i see the pagan signs
waved in my face at night. the beast is gettin brazen, right?
the bars would take up a terabyte to explain it right
so vaporize the marijuana wit me; let's just take a ride
to where we can say goodbye to hatred, lies, and vacant eyes.
the strength of my henny got me feelin mighty sanctified.
a nigga fired 'cause a nigga was a frankenstein.
didn't fit the status quo, alien to the naked eye.
a walkin anachronism meant for ancient times
but while i'm here, i'll let the lunar luminescence paint the sky.
'cause whether new moon, full moon, or crescent, baby i
clue you in to sacred signs and do my best to stabilize
scales against the scaly ones tryin to take a life
but when i allude to the truth, y'all lookin at me crazy like...

so they wanna throw me in a padded cell,
a fema camp or jail. i see 'em lurkin where the dragons dwell.
i tried to shake 'em like a rattle tail. but niggas tattle tale.
shit, snitchin niggas make me mad as hell.
'cause how you gon' rebel for truth against illusion when coons is
too quick to give master the blueprint.
and then they ask why mr. moon is reclusive.
a nuisance to the beast. evolution through music.
