CLARITY IN CHAOS

I gave you fair warning
Now it’s lightning and hail storming
Rain just came pouring
Nobody’s safe
Take precautions
It’s written all on the radar
Let’s make it clear
I ain’t here to save y’all
This is light work
Don’t even need a pay off
It’s Gods work
I’m just leading the seance
The sticks come with medicine drums
One hit will lift you up like an elephant gun
It won’t matter where you from when the reckoning comes
Just make sure to get a check up for a marathon run
It ain’t over for a soldier ‘til the record is spun
Then I’ll be done
Now is when the clarity comes
Therapy is like currency
I’m settling a debt to my son
Instead of trying to get ahead he’ll be set from the jump
I ain’t selling you nothing I wouldn’t use on myself
And I ain’t gotta do nothing
This shit be moving itself
First I was trying to be distant
Now I’m just moving in stealth
Funny how minding your business
could start improving your health
Sharper than every tool on your belt from tooth to the nail
Every book on the shelf is like food for my cells
Ya’ll losing ya’ll hair or scared to put a foot on a scale
So if you ask me how I’m doing
I say, “Doing it well!”
I’m just thinking long range
On how to make large gains out of small change
While you was into playing bored games and arcades
I was in the school of hard knocks all day
Learning the hard way
I got a showdown at dawn and I won’t show up late
Desperado
Sexy Model
Guitar case
Somebody tell these cowboys I’m not for horseplay
While you wildin’
I’m silent
Applying war paint
I gave you fair warning
Now it’s lightning and hail storming
Rain just came pouring
Nobody’s safe
Take precautions
It’s written all on the radar
Let’s make it clear
I ain’t here to save y’all
This is light work
Don’t even need a pay off
It’s Gods work
I’m just leading the seance

SHAMAN WORX

Secret traits hiding deep in my DNA
I leave a case of anomalies that can’t be explained
This is prophecy, but no knowledge of me can be obtained
The wisest of scholars can’t even speak my name
I decline to sign on the dotted line
Seen every trick in the book -
just call me Father Time
They dying to know how to make the clock rewind
The only moment is now
This shit ain’t rocket science…
I heard them say that they getting it out the dirt
One thing they didn’t get is permission from Mama Earth
Begging for attention but they ain’t hearing her final word
Instead of listening, they just stealing shit out her purse
I witnessed it ‘til I feel I’m about to BURST
I’ma make sure it’s worth any energy I exert
Here’s the topic search
That should be required first
You gotta learn the difference between business and Shaman work…
I’d rather roar one time as the lion than be silent the entire lifespan of the lamb
I visited myself in the past
Shook his hand
Right after I made him promise not to rush the plan
While I was adding mileage to the contraband
these cowards was trying to see “Is he solid or a hologram?”
Either walk the path or you running scams
That’s the common law that separates the Shaman from the common man
My thoughts are like a dialogue between Miles and Parks… 🎺📷
Truthfully, you and me are 93 million miles apart
I’m smart like the owl on a Mayan chart
But I become a lion’s heart when the fire starts
How to fight a righteous war is a dying art
And I’ma be the final boss ‘till I’m signing off
You play the odds and pray for albums that could climb the charts
I raise the bar to place my value at a higher mark...
My degree of skill is how I rank with top elites
Modesty was killed and I’m who they assigned as Chief
The driver seat is filled
Found my way around the streets
Y’all can keep it real
I’ma stay with my mystique
I light a tree of that ganja leaf
Then I’m wide asleep
Consciously exit my body to the outer reach
Close my eyes and dive deep into a quantum leap
Observe and find a seat quietly while the Shaman speaks…
I’d rather roar one time as the lion than be silent the entire lifespan of the lamb
I visited myself in the past
Shook his hand
Right after I made him promise not to rush the plan
While I was adding mileage to the contraband
these cowards was trying to see “Is he solid or a hologram?”
Either walk the path or you running scams
That’s the common law that separates the Shaman from the common man
I hear the whispering of spirits
In a dark room is where the signal gets the clearest
And I can spot the difference from the healers and the dealers
It’s only tough when you don’t love the image in the mirror
They say, “The one who’s most familiar be the one to kill ya"
Self-inflicted demolition with the guns and liquor,
drug addiction, double-cup prescription
Now you just a quitter
I ain’t judging
I’m just offering you the elixir...
Sonically
I got similar properties to Ayauhasca leaves
You ain’t dope, you just poppy('s) seed
Papi please
NOT WITH ME
Watch me teach you the proper tings
Then you can guide the flock of sheep with what you got from me
Everything from sovereignty down to alchemy
The Renaissance King
Now who whaan joust with me?
I think you’d rather seek counseling
My advisory
Sip the potion and get a dosage of what the Shaman sees…

LIGHT TRAVELS

“HANG ‘EM HIGH!”(Woop! Woop!)
That’s the soundtrack to Babylon
So ain’t no burying the hatchet ‘til I’m satisfied
Strategize
When tough talk becomes war
I don’t what it’s good for
But it’s American as apple pie
Stop the lies
I can’t oblige what you advertise
Daggers fly
Then all of your plans getting sabotaged
Y’all can try
I’ve gotten wise to your alibis
So it won’t matter who around for you stand behind
Through a falcon
perched high on a mountain
my 3rd eye seen ‘em coming before the outcome
Start surrounding without warning or announcement
Storm the grounds then we let the tomahawk scalp ‘em
Victorious
They tell stories of our prowess
We’re warriors
And we don’t want you foreigners around us
It’s sacred
No invitation for a scoundrel
Denounce you
Then we leave a grave where we found you
We’re natives here….
I’m called Crazy for questioning things that make me wonder
I can always tell the authentic from fake production
Like, "What really creates the earthquake and thunder?"
I stay looking for the answers they just can’t come up with
With all this ANCIENT information
How do they get dumber?
The pain numbers keep my brain
From a state of hunger
Instead of seeing shades and races
I see changing colors
Disappearing numbers descend in front of their facial structure
Lines may trickle
and the mind may trick you
But I’m not blind
I got time
‘Cause mine ain’t fickle
Not trying to dismiss you
But I’m high as it gets you
Put a lock on my mental
From the shock that I’ve been through…
Everybody got they issues
We all know how to block the signals
Stop ignoring all the signs they send through
Start glowing when the light ray hits you…
Angels and demons beefing like cat and mouse
Labeled me heathen
Peep who’s the savage now
Don’t believe the sermon
or any word from the pastor’s mouth
I’m only determined to keep the courage to cast ‘em out
I witnessed many things on the battleground
Remember it in my dreams
Post-traumatic now
Before that account
peace pipes was a pass around
Now you catch me rolling for dolo
Nothing to laugh about
The only hope for me is when I see the Shaman’s daughter
She helps me cope
I knew that she was deep just by her aura
We share thoughts concerning
Universal law and order
Earth, wind, and firewater
Birds, bees, and flying saucers
She tries to turn my Alcohol to ayahuasca
I turn the bottle up right after turning down the offer…
That’s how you kill the body while the mind is altered
Ultimately giving power to what I should conquer

BOOK SMART

Specialist
Blessed with the gift
of a 7th sense
Effortless
Can’t attribute this
to intelligence
Never quit
Ain’t no settling
for a failed attempt
Pessimists
aimed to wreck the ship
And their arrows missed
Yet again
Catch him sailing in
on a second wind
Extra strength
Kept it peddling
to the next event
Represent
I don’t recommend
being hesitant
Level 10
This ain’t where it ends
Let the quest begin…
Stepping in
with no fux to give
then adjust the brim
Check the list
But I’m coming in
That’s just what it is
Better sit
As I’m entering
Check your temperament
Give respect
If I get upset
That’s your detriment
Excellence
Must perfect the script
to the lettering
Held it in
like electric fence
Now it’s definite
Separate
from the pestilence
and you variants
Candidate
for The Catalyst
That’s unanimous
Pulling rookie cards
Who gon’ set it off?
I’m the real McCoy
Y’all just look the part
As the door revolves
I don’t move at all
Numbers on the board
Ten toes on the floor
The goofies talk
I shoot the ball
You knew the score
Now who’s the boss?
Y’all do the sports
I do coup d'état
What’s a star to a God?
I can walk you thru the dark
