I'm keeping calm under pressure like a deep-sea range
I'll never turn back cause that's the way I've got to live
Words and mics fall to dust and all that's left is the feelings
Woke up this morning right out of a dream
For Betty Williams and her friends I sing this song
With these animated thoughts in a world repressed?
Like the islands dot the oceans in the endless seas
I steal feels from reels but I pay my respects
But I'll remain sane making gain without pain
Was put in place in the space as they were shuffled and dealt
I'm like Toucan Sam when I follow my nose
I'll be the one who brings it inside your home
Paying compliments and disses and deciphering affects
Coming like thunder with lightening timing
And more ink from my pen and more tears from my eyes
But the words ain't mine I just pass em along
Over and over I fall I learned to walk from a crawl
Ferment time like wine no ploys or scams
Reached for my pen and pad because my mind was on a rhyme
What can I do with these bones and flesh?
His Holiness and all enlightened beings
I'm flowing prose to cons and cons to pros
Intentions venture to center and then they set the stage
I'll be the one who screams it on the microphone
It's not sad it's just the way and the purpose of it all
To the interconnectedness that underlies
Now every word that you heard that I said that you felt
I'm going down like the rhythms on the winds of change
Staining trains with names and driving lanes to the refrain
And keep it positive as painstaking as it is
I give in and I win I try to never complain
Scheme
Ideas coming to me in answer to my pleas
The lies upon lies have lost their meaning
No hesitation in gestation of thoughts and plans
Words are water as I court her, as she is pristine
So like a cloud carries rain I'm gonna carry my rhyme
I'm giving shouts to Gandhi, Gravy and King
The plies upon plies of consciousness that is being
But beyond the concepts and emotions that rise
