Stardust in my eyes Don't know where it came from but it's got Fractals in my sight and I need a sign That we are whole and not just Gestalt images And not pieces held together by Electric synapses Telling me what's real Cosmic waves come take me to another star Cosmic waves come shape me I'm here now No time like the present 'cause the future is past I'm here now tryin' to take me soul fast The black hole in me The space in the universe where I can be free So cosmic waves come take me to another star Cosmic waves come shape me 'cause I know who I are A star

SHARA: Yo it's hard to love an artist Narcissistic beauty divided and parted into Swells and Swings of catharsis Or maps of oceans uncharted Farthest and largest worlds apart It doesn't make sense tryin' to put up a fence around this nonsense When all we really want is these 2 cents to be a dollar But we can sit on stacks and never prosper No never prosper 'Cause like atoms we create and expel Or like magnets attract and repel Synonymous heaven and hell No common ground to dwell No common wave to swell Venus retrograde got me ready to bail Thinking Undina might collide and unveil to my eyes To see the lunar cycles Let her run my miles So I can't reconcile this coma Drank the juice of the soma Tasted the god's ambrosia I let my id take over but it's time to close Yea it's time to close her and open the knowledge of self Said I'm open to the knowledge of self So I'm living it how I see it who am I seeking? Myself is the only one I can and can't be with but believe in If I go on this loop then I'm stuck dreaming Waking Life man I must be deep in If love ain't the reason I gotta to keep bein' Negative spirals, I got to keep breathin' I got to keep seeing Not question myself But ask myself questions Stop counting my sheep and start counting my blessings 'Cause even though I want you I can't keep guessing I gotta find my peace of mind or I'll be stuck messing Up or around but I'd rather be besting at the studio My legacy sews itself in ratios of gold The symmetry of line meets truth and growth And only here will I find my own 'Cause if I keep hurting me, love is unknown And 4eva n a day I'll be alone So when my time comes The beauty will be shown The space in this sentence will combed Scanned for knowledge of self Said I'm open to the knowledge of self Said she open to the knowledge of self Said he open to knowledge of self BOLA: Knowledge of self keep it tight like every song is a kite I keep it on a string in a cave chippin' words like stalagmites Tryin' to taste all the world like the tongue But at times you know the teeth they bite So here is I Black is life Any matter even though I know I'm giving off those artist vibes And I know it's hard to tell this truth now mostly lies Keep your 3 eyes on who is I and please Don't worry 'bout the odds dog Their fire arms are too short to box with god Yea I know this renaissance and it's taking way too long Hold strong, I got the poems in my bones like a winter storm Yes I swear we got some soul, underground so deep so low Spittin' introspective disconnected from the status quo

I jumped in the river, what did I see A black star staring right back at me In the center of it all was the universe's kiss Blind to its depth and lost in its bliss And it revolved, yeah Orbital Mechanix, it evolved yeah Attracting other planets, Atoms and patterns that scattered in matter Then formed to storms moved spores to shores and sewed seeds Tudo foi feito pelo sol Tudo foi feito Tudo que você ganhou Aceitou-se aceita Aceitou-se aceita I accepted its current, then the river reversed it Reached out to its surface but never did stir it. Liquid like life and love nothing will deter it Hold it up to the sky and let the sun observe it Purge it Evaporate to clouds Change my purpose Watch my rain come down the circle is so perfect I can feel it I can be it I can feel it I can be it I jumped in the river, what did I see My existence staring right back at me It was not my past nor what I will be But myself as I am just as I see And I revolved, yeah Lucid reality I evolved, yeah Transcending normality Prisms of schisms transitioned from visions Both inner and our The will of my power of self Tudo foi feito pelo sol Tudo foi feito Tudo que você ganhou Aceitou-se aceita Aceitou-se aceita

SHARA: Look at him shorty slims with the trim grin Living in dens of grim Hits to fit lips Knitted 'round fibs Jut to get a quick fix like it's so legit But damn He don't know what lies within He don't really know how to care for shit Five-O says that it ain't in his skin But it seems white chalk likes melanin 'Cause it ain't just burning in Ferguson You ain't seen it yet but death slipped in It ain't just red in the city of wind Hell is hot where ever you live Mama's got arms the towel's in Brotha got arms up but still gets hit What's the point if you keep gettin' lit What's the point if you keep giving in It's the Young Elders and the old souls Leaving the streets and making self gold Is it evolution or history told? Spit in 16s to make new molds It's not enough to go harder than hard People are numb but they'll see your scars So when it's rough repeat this part FEAR IS IN YOUR MIND NOT IN YOUR HEART My mind, my breath, my words my art FEAR IS IN YOUR MIND NOT IN YOU HEART My mind, my breath, my words, my art Fear is in your mind MASUNE: Yo I stay fly GNV Got 200 for the end of the week Blow it on smoke, blow it on drink Blow it on blow, then I blow it on E Bottoms up just 'cause I wanna feel good Make me feel good like the gal dem should I bow them down stepping out on the wood Make me feel good like the world never could Like the world never should Just a southern boy I'm the piss of the earth Work and I work but what's it all worth? I work and I work but what's it all worth? Salt and mineral gentleman Crook Salt and mineral ice on the road Purple in the bag like I'm porfirio Pour one out for those that don't know Yea I pour one out for the silver and gold Silver and gold I got hot metal and something to fold 4 inch shiv with the diamond crest I got hot metal right next to my chest Yea I got hot metal boy try and test Out on my one they ain't even gonna flex Them fuck boys tried one time but they missed Born in the chaos lost in the vex I was lost in the shit Just a southern boy I'm the piss of the earth Work and I work but what's it all worth? I work and I work but what's it all worth? Salt and mineral gentleman Crook Yea Work and I work but what's it all worth? Salt and mineral gentleman

It was Monday night Groovin' with the best of the late night tribe Gettin' no rest there's a music light Turnin' on my mind Sweats on All of us are vibing to the rhythm Travelin' to zones that Transcend us Turnin' on my mind On muted strings glides highs of sweeter things Synthesizing different beings into sound Blink on my light, blink on my light, blink on Turnin' on my mind Far out set your mind to free Tell me how you elevate Tell me all you wanna be It's yours The world is yours to see Spin it with your artistry Turnin' on my mind On muted strings glides highs of sweeter things Synthesizing different beings into sound Blink on my light, blink on my light, blink on Turnin' on my mind

Reclaim my closeness with the sun Quietly resounding (oh quiet sound) Oh the amber kiss Tastes of honey glow
8.
Following your emissions To get a better glimpse of Time that's passed Since you compressed Since you first compressed The memories into Reels of filmed Light transitions Since you compressed Since you first compressed Since you first compressed Since you first compressed, since you first Superclusters expanding and Collapsing out your deeper breaths Holding in your fevered beats Of equalizing horizons Since you first compressed, since you first All of the lights in your smile Since you first compressed, since you first
