Trapped in a cave In front of a wall Plague of shadows No, it doesn't change reality, reality Humans have no perception Of reality Im afraid Of the shadows that I'm seeing They dancing on the wall But shackles keeping me from seeing That true True Man If you know the hidden meaning Then you know theres something else behind the shadows that I'm seeing Just think Your shadow isn't everything Its 2D Just an outline of a complex being Behind it there is something your words can't explain And even farther is when they start to call you insane But anyways back in the 3d, back in the cave, And now I'm back to the future, got lost along the way I said it once, said it twice, I'll say it again This is my Third Eye, It doesn't stay hidden Took off my own shackles, now I'm off the walls I saw Chuck and Taylor but they had no vans at all So we walked out, conversing feeling high, topped with everything we've seen, praying our souls still supporting us Oh yes I'm afraid Hope you hear my prayer Oh yes I'm afraid Hope you hear my prayer Oh yes I'm afraid Hope you hear my prayer Oh yes I'm afraid Hope you hear Hope you hear As we walked up Todo cambio Un mundo nuevo Todo se mira bien extraño Caminando Mirando lado a lado Veo a mi gente viviendo como esclavos Pero poco a poquito regresa mi memoria Empieza a recordar Me dice una señora Es un sueño decide como vives Si no te quedaras en la pared viviendo en el cine Bueno, sigo en el camino, veo huellas No voy solo en mi destino Voy protegido Me cargan pa arriba I start adjusting pero duele todavía Something is telling me the facts and I'm just listening Pointed things out, from then i started thinking and Observing more and more, being more aware Of the people who cast the shadows on the wall we stare at There are different levels to this though We cant hear or see them unless we open up the door I saw my ancestors, I saw my homie Chris I felt the All around me, the energy that flows within Up and up i go I see a blank piece of paper Something simple but the symbolism is much greater As I approach, I see a small dot arrive A line attached to us, I see the real truth of life

I hit the corner left, I made a right and then I fight, I saw in sight, I was like oh my that's life though I hit the nitrous one time, not through the mouth though, Just press the button hear it go Pssss And then it's strike mode Like a jaguar prowling through the fucking jungle, I know my strength inside, gotta stay humble, It could eat me up inside my stomach there's a rumble Always had 1X on my plate like Johnny Campbell, Not talking bout the soup, I'm talking bout survival, In the Baja desert being aware is very vital, You feel the cactus looking at you, stars will guide you, And from Dust to Glory till the end you're your own rival I say that to paint a picture, yeah that's tribal, Carrying my people on a platform just like tidal, Waves Do for surf boards and that's a cycle, Under the waves the currents looking like recycle, Signs pushing the water like some do white girl, Fine as hell, Es from Peru, that's suicidal, That's not for me, neither Meth, Crack or Percocets, I stick with entheogens, They help me dip the set, They help me dip the set, yeah they help me dip the set, Ooh, they help me dip the set, They help me dip the set, Yeah they help me dip the set, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they help me dip the set, After having that first session I knew I was being called on, Learning to swim in the same waters that they drown in, Young Padawan Learning the ways of Plagueis and Qui-Gon, Gotta learn and learn sometimes to let bygones be bygones, Become a great Jedi, There is no light without darkness, Through passion I gain my focus, No I don't wanna sound heartless, Through knowledge I gain my power Through serenity I gain strength, And through the trial and errors, Yeah my harmony strengthened So, I thank the spirits for the blessings they're sharing with me, My family, my girl and the time for the music you see, I ain't got money but I gotta take a chance on me Cause it all started down at the roots of my family tree, What my ancestors did Everything they said, Every step that they took, yeah this is to where it led, So, Imma keep on moving forward, It doesn't end with me, The energy spread around to the whole family This feels like arrival but what does it really mean? Does it mean that I got some hits like Billie Jean? Or is it a feeling, a dream like Dr. King? or imagining all the people like John Lennon did, I don't really got the answers to that, I just like asking questions, feel it keeps me on track, Sho you right, And I'm on to the next chapter in life (On to the next) Like turning your girlfriend into your wife, (Oh she mine) Like a Tribe Called Quest when they lost Phife Should they keep on touring, it don't feel right, But there's nothing they can do life ain't limitless, And right now it's not time for them to get the set I keep having this dream Memories A different body Bodies made in a different way It is not a dream This is called a metamorphosis You've evolved You see things differently Higher and higher realms of consciousness We crossed into an alternate dimension

As I walk to the backyard again, dig up some memories As I walk to the backyard again, dig up some memories Thinking bout the past when I was young, love is the remedy Mentally, you gotta be kind to yourself And if you're not, then you can't be to anyone else And that's a fact, cause you're constantly comparing yourself And all the good things you did, and all the bad things that still But, there's more to life than that There's a whole other side, where things grow Adapt and ain't afraid to die Where death doesn't mean the end, it's just a new beginning Trees shed their leaves, snakes shedding all their skin And they start anew, not thinking bout the way they thinning Dropping all the negative energy that within was spinning Catch me winning and losing, it's all the same, it's printing These lessons in my brain, so in life I can keep on grinning Cause God knows, there's demons on earth And they trying to take control, and grow through collective sinning These memories, These memories I'm searching for Lost energies, Subconscious knows what's good for me These energies, These energies I'm searching for Lost memories Subconscious knows what's good for me Aye yo what's good for me may not be what I want And vice versa Looking down the barrel of my wand, it might hurt ya Thinking I can change the world around me Kemetic teachings, telling me the worlds inside me And you So are we God or misguided? Haven't decided, feeling very divided At a young age, got information provided Thought I had learned it all, and saw it was many sided Collective consciousness, what they call it in writing Learning about it first can seem a little bit frightening Fungi communicate in a similar way And that's to say, it's just natural in it's own type of way So I'm confused on how you fool us Telling us this is something new When I can go to the backyard, dig up lost memories that my ancestors knew These memories, These memories I'm searching for Lost energies, Subconscious knows what's good for me These energies, These energies I'm searching for Lost memories Subconscious knows what's good for me I saw You saw a caterpillar Those are your ancestors, friends, and loved ones Before this body, there was another They shared the same soul Can't go back Until it's time A virtuous cycle

It's not your time yet A different part of life that we may never see Living with us in plain sight A monster from the sea, it's kinda scary to perceive And throughout history, we've been taught that death is the end of life And that's not true, you see Thinking back in science, learning energy Thermodynamics, the study of what it means to be Jeopardy, what is being a human being Cleverly I answer, but you know that I ain't elderly Not yet, of course, but we all get there eventually So I soak in the moment and just proceed to breathe Take a step back, try to focus on the memories They might be physically gone, but the spirit never leaves So may their souls rest in peace, guide us with their wings I miss them all so much, I wanna go and take a peek But it's not my time, but my soul wants to go Cause we're stuck in this life And I know that there's something else Living with us And I sense that those who have passed on Ain't really gone too far And so I pray for their peace And so it's rest in peace to the homie Chris Lost you a while ago, man I couldn't believe that shit, it was a couple days One or two after your birthday I got a text from your cousin, and he was hurting I thought he was lying, my head started spinning I was in the room with my brother And I just started crying on the floor, man He was like, ayo, what happened I couldn't express his words or feelings until I wrote this I guess I retreated back into the spirit world Lost and confused, I didn't know which way to go Until I saw you and your mom in my dreams It was an all-white house, beautiful as it could be And from then on, I knew everything would be okay You said, I'll see you soon I tried to go, but you said, wait It's not your time, just fill the world with love Cause we're stuck in this life And I know that there's something else living with us And I sense that those who have passed on They've really gone too far And so I pray for their peace The answer is love The beginning and the end A psycho's wife When two butterflies love each other The caterpillar is dead
