Letting It All Go

Yeah Yeah Ugh
Some days are harder than they really need to be
I bet that's everyday living wherever you go
Nothing is as beautiful as it seems
This is poetry and art of a solemn soul
I've retracted enacted my actions are latent the flower is dead but it's essence pervasive
Willing but stunted I'm losing my color the changing of seasons has never been duller
One day I got it and the next I'm lost
Confused and robust yea the time adds up
I'm only getting older with a mission so distant I've staggered my time and some days yea I miss them
I'm harder on myself than I use to be I have a fear of missing out when I put in time to study
I have a fear of wasted time like what if I don't advance and the people I put off was all for dead ends
Stress, limits are invasive invading the mental concocting an illness
Strings out of tune resemble emotion sensing discomfort are auras are loaded
Passive aggressive it's more than malicious take on abuse and spreads like a virus
Call of the Wild that's why I love nature taking steps backs man I don't want to be a hater
Burn the overgrowth for a moral cleanser, I need to get back to revive my fire
I need to get back like an innocent child
I remembered when I cared more what cared for
MORE MORE
Laws of attraction the way I've been acting
Careless as ever but still am trying
I don't know why I don't know how
Iv'e thought to run away but that doesn't seem sound and Iv'e thought of suicide but that wouldn't make me proud
WE ALL GOT GREATNESS INSIDE OF US
YOU GOT GREATNESS INSIDE OF YOU
And I know that I doubt everyone doubts the out is in and I'm letting it out
It's hard to be sure when lacking a core
The public it hoards in succubus form
Average mundane I'm going insane
Tested and treated by limits of pain
The niche Iv'e obtained is stranger than strange
Looking at this planet we've become deranged
Does it really even matter when the pressures in the brain?
Just in the brain just in the brain
Iv'e pulled my heart out to keep myself sane
Keep myself sane amateur in the game
Consistency has always had resistance with me
Unofficial individual reaching for the minimal
practicality has always be key
And I wear it proud like my Grandpa's ring
And when it's lost I still feel it's grip
And when I'm lost I am not alone
When the passion is real I can let shit go
I can feel my soul I can feel myself whole
I can feel my soul I can feel myself whole

Honest Living
03:43
|

I want to be making an honest living
Attaining my freedoms by righteous decisions
A healer a feeler of sorts
Empathy symphony aura the force
The deeper one digs the hotter it gets
The fire sustains the chimney of breath
As long as I live I keep it together
The earth and the magma is keeping me settled
I reflect this planet so It hurts when I see it damaged
Clear cutting of that forest empty pits where my heart is
Driving on these packed roads where the vegetation use to grow
The fragments of what are left
All the guts and splattered death yo
Repercussion for the man is dodged by the business plan
As long as making that money and stealing for business and corporate bodies
You are the problem but you are the source trapped in a void that destroys for growth
Blinded and hollowed compelled by the choice the vices and verses is numbing are critical point
Being sold is construct
Leaving my people sluggish
inability to process continuity of the nonsense
It's all so real
How advance we are but how little we deal
Peaking the future is fearful because we don't know how to act when we need to
I'm in need of my essentials
nothing more but connection
family and friends talking with people who get it releases my stresses
I'll ignore it if you ignore it too
Forgetful I'm working for freedom and youth
It's not about a collective it's a cut throat incentive
People want their piece of the pie
And would rather right their way with pride
We won't survive but we can thrive
The greed it kills by cutting our ties
Stubborn as hell we've become ill
Toxcicity filled the vomit it seeds
ingrained in the brain torrential it rains
The sadness is builds and builds
Flooding and flooding climate chnage
Flooding and flooding climate chnage
Flooding and flooding climate chnage
Flooding and flooding lets make a chnage
I want to make an honest living sustain myself without the killing
Harming and polluting why mutate with excuses
When abundance is in front of us
Covered up by a plain ass lawn
Covered up by a warehouse
Poisoned from the soil down
Chemical industries families comprised
Leaching of the groundwater
Health is our support line
Yea the price may be cheaper
But the real expense of nature
Won't be worth it when the world becomes uncertain from chasing paper
We can see within space molecules and elements
We have launched in space rockets and astronauts
Still there is a struggle of common everyday people
Going in with what is know and left to find our own sequel
I'm a human by chance knowledge is loud
Picking apart what's important
And leaving the bullshit out
If you want to make an honest living you have to fight to figure it out
The chances of debts the bombing on tests
The broken down cars short coming of rent
Own the self doubt yo
Own the self doubt yo
If you know what is right than you shouldn't even flinch though
I've broken bonds to find purpose
confused at times that's no curtains
Time will rob you again and again
If you push it off you'll regret the dream

Could Be Greener

I don't want to rely on anyone for anything
Self independence comes from knowing many things in the world of human origin
Before all of the hoarding, mobbing malls and targets
The succession of our growth in it's natural progress
Edible weeds
medical trees
foraging for simple needs
The abundance to eat is in the seeds
Based on our ecology
Pollinate
Procreate
The roots already in place
Allow the space to elevate
There's a forest to return
And I'm inhaling a deep breath
Germinating words
In the hopes of reset before we make it burn
The presets are dead ends impractical demanding
We got people buying land before they even understand it
If you don't know the basics your like a wounded animal
Susceptible by income, paper is our life support
The last words of an old man inside of a hospital With Covid-19 was who will pay for
Who will pay for it?
Why are we so hopeless?
Maybe it's those with power that control what's in focus
Loans of fiat currency printed with that interest
Bounded for infection when integrity's demented
United we stand strong but we don't stand Together
We got the strips and the stars but we're not a real collective
Patriotism blindfolds like blue lives matter
The bigger the shadow, more hiding what really matters
Who's the real Bud Lotus?
Soaking in the sun rays
Dealing with the coldness
Fear based weakened state
How do you bloom when things don't change?
Leaderships a damn shame
Dialed back to ruthless
Narcissist not clueless
Conjuring hate for the gain of freedom
The economy is not worth the lives deleted
Freedom half the time is a mere illusion
Ceasefire in countries when it could of been sooner
The result of a virus we're HUMAN
Suffering gives us a common
Put aside your differences
self-help limitless vision shift
Before they take it back like they did with the Indians
Before it starts creeping in
Our leaders today lack benevolence t
They don't inspire nor empower us
Violent is silent with the right type of language
Unfiltering the smokestacks in the midst of a pandemic
Racism isn't dead and they use it for a conflict
Wiping out the weak may just be sick logic
I see actions speak like fast food is essential?
We're hardly incentivized
To
Ever
Be
Better
People
We pay the government to lead us into the arena
For poor delivery that doesn't brace us for the evil
They steal from us everyday and facade their for the people
Getting back to my roots won't ever be a cake walk
I'll never be the same evolution doesn't take breaks
Love is in my heart and I hope that you can resonate
Whether not you believe me
Know that there are better ways
I throw shade to the shade
In the hopes for brighter days.

Acid Reign

You can't stop an invisible world
Boost your health boost yourself
To what you've had all along
The quality of a bond
Harboring the strength from inside of yo earthy gut
Respect is to my body what you know about the spreading of disease from the animals we cage in the darkness
Scraps to make penny's for the pinching of the pockets
Violent tyrants encourage the silence
The unearthen of sin for a plate full of nutrients
Diluted and converted to insert the carcinogens
Excess marketing to reverse doubts of bargaining
Without your money yo you could really ruin them
'Stretches of acres in cages their cornered
Cramped up and shot up with hormones for slaughter
Chickens don't walk like obese needing walkers
Open up the mind and hone in on exposure
Billions of beings are slaughtered every year
While 1/7 of humans still starving in fear
Doesn't make sense when the numbers add up
Concentrated in cities but are we moving up ?
We're all for expansion where random turns to ransom
Yea they take advantage government mismanaged
Priorities are branded shock the whole system
Fear monger us with a lack of vision
Communities a grey spot we don't build together we just work together workers in a place we don't want to be forever
Insane cuz to break the same is pain
word yo shorter lived the lessons
I started from unity now I am trinity connected
Mental in the physical sixth sense protection
I haven't had to die yet
It's not the ears that always listen
I may be young but anything can happen
Integrity's the word to hold down my reputation
Still devilish by nature a sexy connotation
Don't forget your manners awareness to each other
Could be what saves our dying future
Convoluted instituted in the wrong advancements
Stop looking the other way to ignore the damage
Cuz when the shit hits the fan it'll be your problem
Acid rain is dropping down and droughts are increasing
Hurricanes are gaining speed and coral reefs are bleaching
Death is accelerating deforestation
Extinctions of species you never have heard of
Never have heard of
Acid rain is dropping down and droughts are increasing
Hurricanes are gaining speed and coral reefs are bleaching
Death is accelerating deforestation
Extinctions of species you never have heard of
Fake love is a lost of real love
Anxious faded into nervous
Lost of purpose untrustred by the hustled
Unprovided in the struggle yo look at what were learning
We see our problems building and deface
Design them to be shameless
Resilient in billions we suffer from villains
In danger and toyed and lined up for illness
Unfulfilling drinking down the poison
Submission zooming in searching for desires
Thoughts wonder eyes wander the paths on fire
I was born to touch down yo elevate higher

Together We Are Stronger

In the seams of disaster locked down in battle comes out the heroes fighting for wellness
Aiding in illness unsure of the healing stillness for some is a sense of the freedom
Slow it all down progressive of what?
If we don't got health we don't got trust
Poison in our food for the gain of a buck
Unhealthy and nervous unaware of the crutch
We can be stronger than where we are
Looking out for others can be a start
The truth is pain but it's also power
Hard to align when brought up by cowards n
The fear is louder the light is louder
The prayers our louder I can feel it's power
We can be stronger than where we are
Looking out for others can be a start
The resistance is here
Here to take charge
Nature restoring it's wounds from the hurt
Clean air in China swans back in Venice
Watch nature go our nature is magic
Relatable the will to survive
I want to be alright with the people of my time
Everyone is here right now
When I come alive I envision a world where we're more of ourselves
Food forest we're artists
No starving for progress
Where is our targets we gotta use what we got
We work to hard to be this advance
Natures our queen forgiven forgiven
Wake up the people the beauty is living
Compassion from the loving
The love is resilient
The rhythm is heated
The smoke is escaping
We can be stronger than where we are
Looking out for others can be a start
Blessings connection capture the moments
Appreciate beings that love you and hold you
Standing on by there when you need them
Made life better with no thought for a reason
We can be stronger than where we are
Looking out for others can be a start
Absorbed in the presence of equals
A lotus in process of stretching it's petals
I have to grow up for the sharing is nectar
The webbing of life is weighed out by behavior
I'm still reaching out to the depths of our waters
Spirit going out to the deaths of our elders
I can't tell myself that it's all for a purpose
But when the fire burns new life emerges
If things get bad will we learn a lesson
The experience now is a pure occasion
We know what we know but we still know nothing
Our primal connection is gone like the ashes
Blown to the wind inhale the connection
What we do to ourselves we do to the others
Are you gaining from yourself the life that you summoned
Secluded from the daily try not to panic
Spread the vibration High high high to infinity
Brace the day before it breaks away
For sake of play on the trinity plane
Physical grounding my spirit to stay
The singing of birds the chirping of crickets
The peeping of frogs harmonys living
Let the voice of the world feel like home
Feel like om
Let the voice of the world feel like home feel like ommmmm
We can be stronger than where we are
Looking out for others can be a start
