Brothers and sisters causing effects Lost it at the raw shit y'all brought to the sesh My losses are kept up in a box of humility Pause if all don't invest The image you saw is sharper than the claws that eject I'm coming across and giving it up To artist here and aboard the plane thats living across the pond Double decks sight seeing the progress Police seem to interject Leave em on a ceiling, reeling from the scenes they intercept Let em zoom into your room, your cranium is now their mess Individuals interwined, obsessed on what they represent The life we live is so profound, it's such a trek And I don't plan to keep everything grounded up in rent I am thoroughly disappointed in the fact that i spent Too much time in front of a device that I did not invent But making plans again to hop up right out of this bed Turn a little happenings into bigger timely events I don't want to spread no lies So imma give out plain advice No flavour enters until It goes through the ritual of full body deletion and seeing life one dimensional External improving, removing of the illusion now the internal is oozing with movements and grooves, intentional Let's tap into it. Charge the pineal Drink your vital fluids Ground and find your center So you won't question your mind and movements With signs and enlightened uses And by movements, I mean the type that might influence you and other's sight improvement Might inducing mental flights and likes to write when choosing how I'm 'sposed to spend my day So I will document the fusion Between life and death Creation and destruction Stillness and constant function And if it's all an illusion Or not Let's see what's resonates to understand This personality and how to balance breathing if I can Usually coming away with a new conclusion A different resolution for everything that I'm using And everything that I'm fused in Mother Earth in this Universe It hurts when these units Assert inserts in her uterus Looking for treasure but ignoring innovation From a group of individuals concerned about out placement~

My mind's moving o'rapidly Told y'all that at the beginning Don't care about winning Just want keep rhyming so happily Happens to be my own remedy And definitely apathy that makes this more Life supportive when I feel I'm too tapped to breathe Unconsciously Monsters be incorporated I'm too faded to recognize when I tell lies Feel like I should be more sedated And if I'm not, that's for my own arrangement It's getting hard dealing with false awakenings Makeshift Timeline vacant I don't log in because i'm working patience And seeing more activity than I should makes my soul so anxious Some on their Ron Livingston Partial to not giving a shit when it calls for it Nonchalant militant- like Stress induced causes life expectancy to fall Protecting the source, practicing the ways of the force It's more than folklore Im trying to give you tribal accents Through this maneuver of my microphone controller actions It's the way that you talk And that way you stand tall Exhibiting all you feel with no remorse Narcissistic response from those who don't care It's time that they learn that we'll no longer stare Not a chance in hel(d) Hand over the different mail Addressed to an uniformed society That's searching bail COVID-ian chapters including mask in different cells and columns, point out many power structures through Gideon sales Testing many of faith And some are following through But there are many who play And revert back into their truth Or so called Because we know it all But who can blame em Some leaders have been ousted as incompetent and dangerous And anyone getting close to truth meets an arrangement So we're now stuck with those conspiracies and some derangement Included, looted of all forms of trust but how'd they earn it? Suppress reality and pretend what's going on ain't urgent Still learning what is useless...they wasted time on cursive Instead of supplying knowledge of what we're truly immersed in Person to person Versions of true divergence Lurking around every possibility of growth, examples of what Earth is

To The Now 04:08
I know I need to talk to y'all Some like to ball, others like myself enjoi the wall Skate up onto a curb not hitting a rock and falling like keys out of the pockets when trying to open doors Towards the glamour in the screen Money for the sheen No stability financially will have some begging please And Im relentlessly in debt to forms of creativity These entities cannot be seen but I can sense them when I dream It seems we're crawling But I can't ignore the schemes because the humans of today are stripped of our natural means And I can't rely on followers Not tall enough to see over problems that have hollowed a soul that showers over my moniker Let's face it In hopes that its fueling my last statements Presently invoking peace, love and understanding my placement Shout out to the ones still saving themselves by making bomb art Collect together in hopes that it brings some patience Gotta give it up y'all give it up y'all give in Give it up y'all give it up y'all give in Give it up y'all give it up y'all give in to the now Wishes profound but some never get the chance To be spoken because this field has a different plan In the age of all this constant content One's only content when there's more time to be spent So I invent the pod of awareness Clarity is sufficed when we set sail Loving each moment like we made bail Using the motivation that's here And the strength lying in the movement of the atmosphere And the lasting impressionable Like basking in the lesson that's full No question is null Voids filled with the message when no essence is dull Part of the bracing, make shifts evidential Pause to take this moment inside and to try and live it out I'm trying my best to solve problems in the realm of now Deep breaths bring this lyric of life to breathe consciously, leaving all pressure out of sight~

Light Switch 03:12
This is a twisted opportunity To find out big differences between you and me, you and I understanding that unity comes in the form of understanding beautifully Logically scratching at scrutiny, screwing the loosened More putrid or fused than it used to be Lucid and puking in many a bathroom's because of the death of my ego, newly released Who is thee trying to school and be pissed at a new recruit That wont transfer well And who is allowed to be coolin and pool all their counterparts lives into a sleeper cell No one, it's a power struggle Surf waves as a butthole or stay humble But waste no time Heard beats coming from Aesop and I let its' bass reside Within the mind Lyrics started pouring out like tea pots, see spots and a line Follow suit with ya hollowed boots And a helmet that stays twisted tight Where no air can escape or be let in Let live and die in a man's own skin While women tell us they told us so Because "you never took the time to take things slow" Think things out Ring shit out See what lies beneath Creates doubt Thats the plan and this is that route It's a fantasy mispronounced A mis-ant-thropic List all of my poisons Take it without any options or foilings My creative stagnant-like surface is boiling And now you can see why I need to uncoil this (Chorus) Didnt think that I could manage the likeness Couldnt stop comparing I to the nicest Instead of working to excel till im lifeless Which Is why I think I need to turn on my light switch Giving my soul a new purpose to grow And invite it to sow into each and every single molecule shown on the spectrum we know as this plane of existence believed to be all that there is but of course thats a no in my book of perception and planetary exploration then blow every mind that believes that we're all that there is BUT I get it...that's why we push limits So I give it up to all the scientists and participants of the lyrical exchange towards the realm of the limitless, sitting in the lotus so ill levitate to the infinite and prepare to be a different energetic constituent Missing for ages and knowing that I blame the epitome of how we connect Past/ future plaguing us mentally Literally put down as mental non stability And left to fend for ourselves in a harsh facility Art-tillary is all that some of us have While the rest play politics Bane mask Is what I'm seeing in the streets, people tired of defeat Feeling wired from the irate status of the weak cause a protest gottem feeling like we ain't never going back to the style that they reached Miles to the peak But I'm inspired So my trek might tire but it's fire and when slide up on the beat It's honestly a promise to be mindful when my mind's full of yesterday and tomorrow Last year, decades from now Less space, more crowd, best pace for now since I figured it out, giving my presence a chance to announce it ain't going no where so I'll lay on its' couch and consume all it offers and make it my brand new realities house (Chorus) Didnt think that I could manage the likeness Couldn't stop comparing I to the nicest Instead of working to excel till im lifeless Which Is why I think I need to turn on my light switch Got a seat from these eyes in the front row Nothing exciting and a sense of no one's home Can we propel 'into states that are unknown Liberate the mind from this dangerous carousel zone

Vivid Images 02:11
I feel the fall like broken floors Horizontal open doors Flaws as usual Poking at every sore Scratching at every scab Unearth the inner driven prolific myth inner path And centrifuge into that This lights casted through the mysteries while sinking fast Ink blots will formulate into what can be seen at last These dreams that seem like nonsense at first seemingly passes Then occurs later in this part of realities clash Palpatine flash lightning strikes the momentary pattern that inserts the plugging into outlets the universe has Open up your energy You are meant to be A source of kinetic medicine Releasing it readily And love is steadily Awaiting its comeback My 60s era lingo won't settle like dust Facts ring louder than gun claps Fireworks and lunch raps Over tables we used to beat on, mimicking drum taps Old school styles will never get bum raps In my eyes I try to shock crowds like stun gun zaps Sometimes it unleashes all at once We call a dunce president With "all the best words" Farce intelligence Art uncredited Start embellishing The unfinished projection Large intersection where some parts are devilish Boiling hot kettle shit Medical enhancements Six million dollar man Stuns the whole campus Off the top ropes Fly as maggot life Encapsulating light like the counterparts i captured at night In the field of dreams Our subconscious communicates Vivid images are never what they seem I'll illustrate It's like the upside down but here to guide you to your deliverance Not the film but your deliverance from sibilance Lyrics get to signaling once I'm feeling the stimulants See y'all on the other side~

Roam 03:30
Live from the basement Lies in the form of truth, propaganda loves to loom Devising different statements To drive ones mentally and follow where the base went My laced tennis shoes touch ground Beating these agents Beforehand, I go to the Earth and learn to embrace shifts Happening within my vessel to elevate & create this Now we get to face it Coming from a different forum Like we touring Meditate The vibes a normal stasis To break shit that's habitual, no longer serves your placement It's a big issue, some stay still until awareness, they're faced with New mental stability, bodily fruitility All the foods and energy absorbed are friends or enemies Building blocks to stop the clots Not talking shots they readily provide Some have corrupt the spot, they need your gwuap for pedigree Advancement of their major greed It's capitalistic onslaught upon a basic need, jeez Roam Mind moving rapidly, perhaps I need to roam And see other environments, the kind outside my own Sitting in one place for too long, I can't condone But that's the bar Im setting for myself, so I'mma.. Let these Spitfire wheels roll past toll booths Land of the free where we question all quote truths End quote Unspoke Clash, internal barrage Buried in the seats, beats blasting in the garage Personal pursuit; project visually Connect spiritually Release sets then let viciously the mess we let take a course Fall into a realm of sleep, Mastered and tamed on the pathway to inner peace In the most cinematic of scenes, degrees to reach these other emcees, believe we invite thee They're mostly profound, breath exchange so loud in impact of substance The love's unreluctant I call it that but honestly it's just your system responding to energy being received, processed and honored. We embrace this to make time to live within this lake of existence Surrounded by the life force, a light source

Let It Go 03:11
My life sequence is similar to spirals Vertical velocity, intolerant of idols Midas touch the whole society like it was my gold Beauty taking form within the vision in which I hold Slight fold like I'm giving up but here's a light bulb Maybe I could play it long enough and reach new heights, woah I got vertigo so Imma level down Perhaps ground when this ego gets too ahead of the sound That's inspiring I'm letting go of control Finding proper waves to surf cause it's sure to serve the soul Concerned Earth in bold Verses inter-fold A little hoarse from projecting and invent what will be told Later evenings, the cipher congregates In the illustrious lead upward Love will always dominate If we let it I'm tired of not trying to understand My plan is shown through wide angles and I feel it's time to (Glow For your self It's so loud How you felt And ignite What is real There's no end When you deal Let it go) Letting go and living out is what | want You can have it too if it calls you in the front My personal opinion is grounded now In order to see more than what my ego allows We can rise higher than they want us to I had to look inside to see more of the truth I'm gonna challenge everything I ever knew Just so I can be aligned and walk along with you And travel when I need to But At my own pace of course Never forcing the hands of the force As it surrounds the territory My sound bites get very gory The moment it sinks in like every story That captures Lyrics play roles like actors Film critics get middle fingers When judging the stature Mature in passion Mash tours and accented slash marks on covers of disc, passing out more Cause music expresses the freedom within And if the freedom isn't present, I'll free it with the pen Through my own scripts A well thought out process or an instant urge to stream the ol conscious Freestyling in my senses Sent forth through your inner speak to translate my own thought pattern connection And if the words are relatable then I'm truly proud The production usually brings forth the truth, aloud

Damp and cold Many folks scold Passengers aboard, some can't sit So they stand and hold onto the strap, seat or isle rails In case the accelerators fail They won't bail from their position on our sail We're on a voyage Daily commute to nowhere Some go the round trip Others one way fair I see many but rarely stare I can't get caught up in the still theatrics even though they're always there Cops making sure you got a ticket And if you ain't got one, the chances are you get the boot and gotta kick it I used to hop skip it and still do Of course if the machine doesn't work I mean I need to go to work So I can't let their rules stop me Let the fiends go bezerk That are power struggling City officials straight bugged again I just need to make it to my last destination Peeking out the window, city life, the inspiration To feel it all and take it in Let's begin..losing all I know inside the wind Always tryna go far but the feeling of home starts to sink in every single time that I roam Late transit We band together through the anguish This about the time where you see alot of strange shit On my board, I dip through alleys and main streets The pain deep sufferers up heave and can't sleep I heard a stampede of crackling fires and bottles that clink together like cuffs Not to expire In the midst of all this piss, bands of drunk dudes and chicks from clubs Love was a disease We're only living to breathe But some struggle to eat with zero energy Searching for that little bit of heaven as a remedy But it temporarily suppresses simple pains from existence It transpires in an instant Hopping on the train to the next town The slow down Processing This late trip was like embossed pressing Sticking out like a sore thumbs on the travel Listening to life among more people and unravel~

Magnificent 02:51
Artificial tablets Kid and adults trip alike Its a form of fragments I passed through these fires at night We surround ourselves with Earth Not a structure in sight Its the plight that we call the gain of fright Alien type So it aint so Comfort driven into depth condition No lack of vision, just an entrapment system Like the code written Evolution scribed DNA And all forms of progress get cast aside To master pride and let humility stay in control Plans to meditate before the day closes as we unfold on the next Like a butterfly living out its days Reminiscing on over cocoons and it where it stayed But we trek Forging new paths because the stars we line up tell stories of the past and manifest As we reach these new levels and search Archaeologists of perception, respect This mountain of worth, its all you You We Are Magnificent (You are the all of us inside And it reigns when you see us) A born catalyst of change Environment erupted causing minds to rearrange Using this canvas for your pain Encapsulate the moment Non saturate A different position from last steps taken Will find you in this lane Cause i notice that societies all over are toxic Trickle down effects from centuries of greed and no form of widening the optics got the youth searching for validation but cant discuss topics Of true importance Loitered voices Moistened and cracked Like Fragile beings saying Yes to all poisons We set the stage up and attack Like no appointments Playing darts with all players And rack up new coordinates Let off more seasonal acts Above the water Til Atlantis type scenarios Snatch the sons and daughters But for now, let the moments instill The power lives inside, lets activate without the need for any pills This is you~

Serenity 02:49
They're saying space is the place Since they laced our fellow youth Cant relate to the pace Or turn away from the truth Verse cased in the brain We brace to follow through Cause it's waste to the traced If we cannot do So walking the way we talk May slip at times cause the grid of ours Plays to our most vulnerable senses Each verse is repentence Meditate then mend this physical self And catch the mind playing games when restless We got this Awareness is key To unlock this Social media leaps informational locksmiths Backhanded and falling hard It's beautiful And now we're learning to strive without sitting in cubicles The large world outside the screen is unpredictable Within our current placement, Creativity is critical Not lifeless We share images of all thats priceless Opposite of nice trips intercepted a mind stint Capture again And don't let it go Serenity Loves it when you're home It loves it when you're home Home These forces of the universe are giving you the work Falling like rain are clues that spurt while treking through the hurt Move and jerk Through energy that doesn't match the wave of yours Finding a connection through the verses brings you to the source This song's a pitstop while you embark Decipher light and dark, learn to ground, ignite a spark and you can start Back up again, senses are friend And you can tame it all The cities like a battleground and empires are sure to fall But nature never will Harness that power From the inner and then enter Still While others are racing to fill The void but you recognize it lies within It only takes a minimal amount of grounding to begin And I would like to see us all move in a solid direction Gaining a foresight of traps at every intersection I'm working to fulfill that by inventing, inside the lines A stream towards hope and courage embedded in ourselves to climb~
12.
These children cannot protect this world blindly Grow up to get folded up like human origami So we have to leave the old spirit behind of no self awareness Or get sucked into the games like Jumanji Honesty but on the inside Comfortable with personal tides Moving like ribbons that stride Women that strive Black, white and brown enterprise Usher a new era where most others collab to devise a better understanding This planet, it needs no commanding Current admins need to reform Or else we can't live Riots and heartache are products of what's systematic If we choose to act right now them we cause damage But not unto us, it's more unto them Saying no to the diseases pushed on our family and friends Mainstream manipulation on a grand scale Will soon falter, with these like minds, we can't fail~

Peace! Any proceeds will go towards the San Diego Food Bank in order to help feed families and individuals who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. I appreciate the support from everyone. Love~

Stone #2: SELENITE stones and wands has been used to amplify the subconscious during meditation when placed either on the subject or beneath the head during sleep. It has allowed me to explore further into my own thoughts; pushing to see through the illusions of our growing technological grid and continue to work on ways to become grounded, mindful and intuitive of vibrational occurrences encountered on a daily basis that are both healthy and unhealthy to us, collectively.

The workings of this mixtape is to portray my own dreams and to illustrate isolated conversations with myself; from anxiety, awakenings, realizations, depression, insomnia, panic attacks, epiphanies, anger, hopefulness, courage and a search for inner peace into finally talking to you, the listener, towards the end.
Also, I'm still getting used to mixing and recording in the midst of a global pandemic and am grateful for the opportunity to learn how to do something new and exciting.

DR. JILL BOLTE TAYLOR is a neuroanatomist who graduated from Harvard who has published several books and specialized in the postmortem investigation of the human brain as it relates to schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses.
After watching her TED talk called "My Stroke Of Insight", I was immediately captivated not by the story of which she had experienced but the courage and enlightenment she had received from her experience and survival from a rare stroke labeled "atrerio-venous malformation" (AVM). She continues to inspire others through her books and presentation and now educates others as CEO of My Stroke of Insight Inc. & as Chairman for the non-profit "Jill Bolte Taylor BRAINS inc.", which provide educational services and promoting programs related to the advancement of brain awareness, appreciation, exploration, education, injury prevention, neurological recovery, and the value of movement on mental and physical health, as well as other activities that support this purpose. She also has a feature film coming out about her life but you can check out her famous TED Talk in the link below, which was partially inspiration for this project~
