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
