Some kind of sky

i fear that well pave the skies
replace the stars with miles of track lighting
that our kids will never see the sun rise
or hear the beauty of the crash of lightning
that once all the trees have died
it wont be no wars
but our own breath that were fighting
for


who will do the giving if we all cant stop taking
who will burn bright if we cant stop faking
who will be the might
of the inner peace and light
pierce the darkness of strife
of our own selves first
appreciate the life of all thats birthed
thats just about everything


open our eyes cup our hands and drink
thirst is just a state of mind i think
we take for ourselves cuz we scared
that there wont be enough to go around
but i found out when i first let go
there is always enough let this truth be told
that stuff wont fill the soul
bloody hands dont make a man bold
cold hard cash just makes the heart colder
open up to the dark hood strangers
let all life be touched by the light of yours
let the light of life heal your scars and your sores
let yourself be something it never been before
spread them wings and let us people soar


we a one world village
why can we not understand this
how can we keep on killing
when our real business is of the spirit
shut the mouths of the suits and buildings
hold up the truth of our elders lessons
old fables are still so relative
what are we but distant relatives

Something Has To Change

SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE

something has to change so im changing my mind

smoothing out the kinks and riding their lines

finding inner peace with compassion to time

a bowed head in silence

the winds

making my cap twist til the sun hits my eyes

the trees the mountains the sky and my kind

blooming like a fountain

still being the rise

the waves at my back

and the light on my face

I think Im finally

finding my place

the people of the fires

the temples and spires

our magic conspires

and tethers together

the pieces meant to build

a stronger kind of shelter

roofless and wall-less

the spirits amongst us

only ever protected

no they never attacked us

just let nature be just

the path so instinctual

just be as it does

my life is my ritual

lawless as rhythm moves

the steps that I choose

stronger branches

deeper roots

prosperity starts in the mind

then the body finds its truth

this is what we thought

and talked about

this is the only move

it starts with an idea

then movements we move through

water earth wind and fire

you know how we do

ive heard you whisper prayers

you monks and you gangsters

victims and the slayers

all looking for answers

from the cradle to the elder

ill be whispering my own

give me pride give me honor

give me respect and strength

give me knowledge confidence

and a hope that remains

belief in my brothers

the healing power of laughter

creation from destruction

phoenix from disaster

a rose from our hands

and black sands by the water

give me an understanding

of the floods and the slaughter

the mud where we grow

lotus petals peel back

to let go the ego

let the good vibes stack

up like my old duplo

to where the oak tops go

where the frogs croak

crickets lay down the harm­­ony

where the glow stokes

thats where my peeps will be

and Im coming home yall

put your hands up

im coming home yall

my people bless up

im comin home yall

dont stress the quests

stay well dressed

and hope for the best

keep the snot off your shoes

and shoot for the moon

cuz its all in the sky man

yea its all in the sky

and were doin fine man

yea were almost there

when the winds just right

i cant stop soaring

second star to the right

and straight on til morning

'Cha Jah

i got a pair of headphones
wrapped around my throat
a 40 of colt in my throne
enemies bones
fillin my moat
sunshine and deer hides
make up my coat
gotta let my mind stream
lest the words clog up
and choke
gotta let the dark steam
settle in and soak
carve out my own boat
fuck the river styx
cant touch how i float
when i set to sail
all the winds blow
to my flow it goes
bitch no after life
no blood of the lamb
no horn of the goat
it goes
bitch no after life
no soul left to damn
no shadow to show
grab my own
neck tie and tow
rough a cut in my gut
pull a tranq up
out my waist line
and inject the rocket
divy up the explosives
drip a cranked chem
into em botched sockets
when i figs i got em solved
the quest sneaks around on me
synapses flash and then stop
until i am the solvent
in the cracks of the concrete


chemicals like me
they dont sleep
when it comes to cleansing
we dont cease
don a dope crease
a poets sleeves
wring out the dirt
soap and the bleach
this hurt deserved
no not in the least
but i play my part
i paint my piece
cut out the heart
blessed disease
pick off the scabs
pull out the darts
arteries squeeze
dont start with the please
weak in the knees
deaden the duck
and my 3rd eye sees
freedom is free
so stop fuckin paying for pain
flush all the cash
and let the song remain
let the beauty be the stain
let the splashs echo sustain


gimme that time
taken that slime
but i cant rewind
talkin lotta chimes
but wheres my kind
I shine like a dime
thank god Im blind
my mind my crimes
my army sides
my papers signed
and my helmets on
got a wrench hand strong
and I'm canines deep
nightengale's song
don't keep my peace
my tracks my spats
my lack of gats
bishop to flap jack
and he don't react
the smoke stack
blows back
concrete to skull cracks
bezentine to what
armor used to be
when weaponless is what
we should'a been
I'll stop minding my cup
your hip your hand your pack
