The stakes are high / 
Plus, the weights heavy / 
I’ve been around the globe / 
Yeah I’ve seen plenty / 
Enough to hold a conversation / 
An ordinary commentary / 
Through out the planet / 
These underground rappers are buried / 
Unlimited talent their hands reaching out of the ground / I attempt to lift them up / 
With a cup that’s half full / I pour a little out / 
Its like rain falling down straight from the clouds / And as we wrestle temptations / 
The temperatures risings / 
I’m purging my trauma no longer /
Holding on to the drama / I need a shaman in my life / Who prepares me for my rebirth / 
Place me in the center of the pyramids / 
Sacred is the seed that’s the Earth /
I live and I learn I can see that the pain that I feel / 
Is for growth / A gift I discovered /
The strength and the gain / 
I no longer play the victim /
I know you’re not to blame /

Verse 2 

Back and forth through these trap doors / 
I’m not a walking corpse /
I’m not a victim to life circumstance / 
I circumvent chance and place my self / 
In a position to advance / 
And maybe plant medicine’s the answer we need / 
To finally learn to grieve / 
Well that’s cancer relief / Death of the ego / 
Leaves me to wonder if life has a sequel / 
I’m standing at the top of a mountain looking down / At the canopy below / 
It’s evening autumn / I don’t want to fall but the foliage is so beautiful I hearing it calling me / 
It sounds like angels singing a symphony / 
Divinely orchestrated why is heaven so debated / 
The human race losing touch with the sacred / 
We’re running right past it /  
I wish we could slow down /
I believe in miracles they’re happening right now / 

Verse 3 

Imagine waking up with no TV / 
No electricity and your phone won’t work / 
Check the radio but not one station comes on / 
Feel the panic outside something is wrong / 
It’s that chest tight feeling why are we even here / 
If all we do is complain, argue, fight, live with envy / 
A bunch of hungry hippos / 
Hippocrates living toxic / 
Gossip talking behind each others backs / 
There was once a poem I read from a boy who / 
Grew up as an adult living that poor me mentality / Raised in poverty / Lack of community / 
That little boy was me / Chaos created family / 
No longer do I cling to my old past / 
There’s a new paradigm for my life at last / 
I’m waking up from unconscious demands / 
I’ve had this monster under my bed / 
Now I hold his hand /
