[00:16]I'm flowing prose to cons and cons to pros
[00:18]I'm scheming rhyme against reason like it was flow against know
[00:21]But beyond the concepts and emotions that rise
[00:23]To the interconnectedness that underlies
[00:27]The lies upon lies have lost their meaning
[00:29]The plies upon plies of consciousness that is being
[00:32]Over and over I fall I learned to walk from a crawl
[00:34]It's not sad it's just the way and the purpose of it all
[00:43]Now every word that you heard that I said that you felt
[00:45]Was put in place in the space as they were shuffled and dealt
[00:48]I steal feels from reels but I pay my respects
[00:50]Paying compliments and disses and deciphering affects
[00:53]Words are water as I court her, as she is pristine
[00:56]Words and mics fall to dust and all that's left is the feelings
[00:58]I give in and I win I try to never complain
[01:01]Intentions venture to center and then they set the stage
[01:04]But I'll remain sane making gain without pain
[01:07]Staining trains with names and driving lanes to the refrain
[01:09]And keep it positive as painstaking as it is
[01:18][01:15][01:12]I'll never turn back cause that's the way I've got to live
[01:25]So like a cloud carries rain I'm gonna carry my rhyme
[01:28]Coming like thunder with lightening timing
[01:31]No hesitation in gestation of thoughts and plans
[01:33]Ferment time like wine no ploys or scams
[01:36]Like the islands dot the oceans in the endless seas
[01:39]Ideas coming to me in answer to my pleas
[01:42]Woke up this morning right out of a dream
[01:44]Reached for my pen and pad because my mind was on a rhyme scheme
[01:48]What can I do with these bones and flesh?
[01:49]With these animated thoughts in a world repressed?
[01:52]I'm going down like the rhythms on the winds of change
[01:55]I'm keeping calm under pressure like a deep-sea range
[01:58]I'm flowing prose to cons and cons to pros
[02:00]I'm like Toucan Sam when I follow my nose
[02:03]I'm giving shouts to Gandhi, Gravy and King
[02:06]His Holiness and all enlightened beings
[02:08]I'll be the one who screams it on the microphone
[02:11]I'll be the one who brings it inside your home
[02:14]But the words ain't mine I just pass em along
[02:16]For Betty Williams and her friends I sing this song
[02:19]And more ink from my pen and more tears from my eyes
[02:22]And more crimes are committed as I say these lines
