(Verse 1)

Yeah

I inhale and exhale the strong heat into my psalms

The weak be cut long before the breach of the dawn

I take lead into this poem how the sun melts over the horizon

Reflecting the eye of Zion

I'm from the village and the island

Until i was exiled

Now the outskirts i reside in

Brothers, know it’s only law that my psyche so ex-file

Patiently awaiting my next trial

I keep my creed between the seas

As a poet amongst thieves I've got the presence of Prometheus

In a crowd with the devious, seen open traps become the greediest

And closed mouths go hungry

Stand where the wise play the dummies hand, like they was ventriloquist, the street holds my silhouette

The wind carries my soliloquy as I journey into mystery

In seek of deep tranquility, right beside the willow tree

Follow the thousand miles i marched just to keep them dogs barking

See, I'm enveloped and snarled in the company of a wolves lens

I’ll strip you of your ego, ya essence and ya steelo

None can test my bushido

That golden aura radiation tracing my lyrical physique

I'm solidified inside the beat

My voice is pure obsidian, hitting you in each of your meridians

To push you outta ya body and throw you into Elysium

(Break)

Elysium (x5)

Random noise

(Verse 2)

And so blows the flame in the wind as I grab for my pen

Scratching this into my imagination

This is cerebral activation

My passion burns deep as an ominous creak that leads

To where the anonymous creep

At high noon I sit and I seep into sage smoke and the ganjha

Making it a task to ponder the crow between me and dharma

All I have is my honor, and with the mic I'm a snake charmer

I'm like the art of conversation matched by a godly narration

A film with a lifespan duration

Now who stands before the scribe?

I'm the man with 9 lives, I gotta think like the sphinx

Scribbling riddles within the ink

Depriving you from the jinx that's got you stuck on the brink of chaos

Purgatory and graveyards, I spit the ghostly seance

Diving into your subconscious

The tale goes untold how I arose from the lowest of lows unrolling the scroll to astonish

Amidst the tomfoolery and carnage was a black rose enclosed in garbage

Now residing in the zen garden, I strike down he who's been guarding the path to my enlightenment

I stand amongst the mice of men, Strip em of their self entitlement

Don't he speak it so crystal like? Unlike those who hiss and bite

Some be gripping pistols tight

I hold the pen like Anoklosmos to rip through the riptide

I’m sitting spiffy sipping tea, channeling my inner chi

Don’t exhaust your energy

Ya bars are like Alcatraz, nigga they're completely empty

Now how you claim to be a soldier and somehow never pushed boulder?

Or seen the light that’s solar

The symbols plastered like posters

I'll be the new-age Daedalus to keep the foolish out of the clouds

And my name up in they mouths

And the wolves outta the shrouds

I don't gotta ride with goons, I'm like a one man platoon

Occupying the dunes on the dark side of the moon

Was never the loudest in the room but I’m like salt to a wound

I emit a spark to your embryo, ya embassy filled with empty halls

Ya mind full of envy, dulled by constant stressing over glamour

I'm focused on the questions unanswered

I got you trapped in a state of gamma

I do the strut of David Banner

The real diamond in the rough

Giving you fiends no trust

The fire that can't be snuffed

Don't touch the rags, kiss the chucks of the one true master

The lost poet holds the dagger

I instill the fear of Ra deep in the hearts of you phony rappers

An extreme existentialist

The legend, the man, the myth

The likes of me to these fools is like Jupiter to Pluto

I'm weaving bars like Hugo

Hold more heat than prince Zuko

You'll overdose on numero uno

I'm from the lands so feudal

Word to Mars, no Bruno

Fresh and in the flesh straight outta dimension X with that chicken scratch judo
