[Hook]

And then I remembered the magic

Forgot that you can't plan it

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

I just get stressed when I try to understand it

And then I remembered the magic

Forgot that you can't plan it

It's always there in front of us

Just trust and it happens

And the star dust from the universe of this planet

I just get stressed when I try to understand it


[Verse 1]

Now, I don't know why this world is a trip

See, I just float by hoping that I can live

With a pen I'm so high, using this medicine

I got a little bit of it to give

Come on, hear me now

My momma says the trip inside of you gon' hear it child

We all got it, if you want it gotta get it out

I know you know what I'm talking about

See it's the music from the magic, got me on top of these clouds, come on

Keep it poppin' with my favorite song

There's no feeling like the city walking with my walkman on

It gets to me, giving me goosebumps and I'm gone

And when I die just make sure that I got my pen and headphones on

In good times and upsets

Rain, hail, beats, sand, heat, land, and a lot of damn sunsets

They say that you can never capture the moment

Photograph or record it, but I swear I can when I bump them

As I bear witness to existence, setting in the distance

For a sheer instance I become one with it

Dismeant up to ten when I listen like I was set on this mission

Places I've been when I with them

I'm feeling the most high when I got my pen and I'm scriptin'

No engines speakin as I enter religion

No crosses, pews, prayers, or repentance for sinning

Just the RCA jack, a sentence and a vision

Inside of the gut, time with the cut, right from the plug

That feeling that goes right into us

Instead of bump live, but with eyes wide shut

You got some fire and a lighter, I'mma fire it up

Depending on the month, sometimes I feel high with just pen and pad

If the gab, the light's within us

I can apply my touch on the mic stand and bust

To the whole planet, and my headphones on

[Verse 2]

Now, have you ever done hallucinogenics?

Children, don't get it twisted, I'm not reccomending

But it's not fried brains and hippies and kids jumpin' off buildings

It can be spiritual epiphanies and medicine

Now I first tried shrooms when I was 16

And the universe became more interesting

I began to contemplate my place in this landscape

And reflect on what it meant to be a human being

What I went through felt as though I dreamt it

Through my experience, became aware of my breath, then

Began to cultivate my art with the intention of the heart

Started to use my sentences as reflections

And what I saw was God was in all of us

And we'd all come to be interconnected

And all that was depended on all of us

And had effects like a domino when you let it

Go with the flow, that the universe holds

Understand that there's more than you expected

I don't do shrooms anymore cause I don't need to explore

All that I was looking for was was the present
