Know Yourself (feat. L-Fresh the Lion)

When you judge someone It does not define them It defines you Who am I? What am I searching for? I just can't seem to find a place where I belong What is life? And how can no-one see? We're all the same, it is our aim to get along Well you can see my white skin, My blue eyes, my dreadlocks in my tam You look me up and down, To try and find out who I am You startle and you hesitate as I extend my hand If only you could see that I am just a man Don't be distracted by the shallow surface I'm not your foe And so there's no need for you to be nervous Don't see a man who's lost his way And think my life is worthless, no That kind of judgement never was our purpose I can't decide if it's a jungle or a circus The system of charades a just manipulate and hurt us But still so many under the belief that it a serve us It's blinding us from that which can truly preserve us It's all been said before, but still it's not been done Do unto others as you'd have them do unto your son The man inna the mirror is the foundation And the example for the world to live as One Who am I? What am I searching for? I just can't seem to find a place where I belong What is life? And how can no-one see? We're all the same, it is our aim to get along Just search your soul And look inside yourselves And when you find yourselves, align with who you are The key to life It has been planted in your heart You'll see the answers had been with you from the start You see my eyes, my eyes have been blinded Our hearts, our needs and wants have us divided And I know, downing bottles of spirits won't ever be enough These impurities and insecurities can't be hidden behind a puff Of weed smoke Shit, I guess every man needs hope These answers seem close, whenever I read between these notes I see those who use a needle between toes Just to cope with these lows, But their life's like looking out a broken window And I'm trying to find the point to it, like a free throw But sometimes I'm so sick, my soul needs to be treated like chemo Radiated, satiated I'm wary of the path I travel Cause many have lost themselves on the road to greatness I'm careful of what I plant, cause each seed grows If you find the library with knowledge of self Tell me, cause we need those To spread it This ignorance needs to be deaded And if I understand my own reflection Then I can prevent it Who am I? What am I searching for? I just can't seem to find a place where I belong What is life? And how can no-one see? We're all the same, it is our aim to get along Just search your soul And look inside yourselves And when you find yourselves, align with who you are The key to life It has been planted in your heart You'll see the answers had been with you from the start So now I know who I am Said, I know who I am I'm strong like a lion And meek like a lamb So what happens after death? What happens if I die unaware? What happens if we die aware? The most important thing for you, if you really want to know... If you just want to listen to your story, that's different... If you really want to know, the most important thing is That you must know what is happening to life now, here If you strive to know this, if you know just thyself You will know everything that's worth knowing in the existence
