It's an adventure
It's an occurrence
With no deterrents
Patience is the key, even though it feels urgent
Do you have the strength to sit with each moment?
Identify your place in the scheme
And then own it?
Zoom out and see the overall picture
Take the thoughts with ya
Use pen to draft scripture
In the folds of time
The annals remind
Of the missteps that crumbled kingdoms, and we'll find
Amidst the ruins
strands of grass now grew in
Displaying that the birth of an era had been looming
The new information breathes some new energy
A positive vibe that is available plentifully
What will you do with it?
Be a true cynic?
Or will your legacy show that you grew with it?
Take the path that leads to more light
Don't miss out!
This is your chance to shine bright!
Verse 2
Where can we take you at this turn?
On the surface of the sun, we may not get burned
So celestial
Extra terrestrial
Music made with love, resurrecting you
Up from the sludge
Up from the grind
Free from the shackles
Free from the bind
Sight for the blind
With some 8D glasses
Extra dimensions
Best of intentions
Best not to mention
heights of ascension
To those who would throw the wrench in
Gut wrenching to think we don't all want to fly
If you're staying in the former states of mind, goodbye
I see new horizons
Yes, the sun's rising
So awe inspiring
Watch us just dive in
Thriving as we bask in the light
Don't miss out
This is your chance to shine bright
This record is dope as Hell and continues Mr. Lif's mastery of rhymed storytelling. The first two tracks feed into each other as a harrowingly real tale of a new relationship grimly overshadowed by the girlfriend's stalking ex-lover with things inching closer & closer to inevitable confrontation. Brilliantly creative and very true to life, these are hallmarks of Mr. Lif and this new record is instructive, entertaining & worth attention. Sir Reginald Styles
This is the type of art that I'm always looking for. Honest. Story presented as a sort of folding of previous classic technique and still coming out fresh. To be moved forward with great work. Ben "Angrycrow" Nix-Bradley
