I am not the same man I was a year ago
I see my spirit froze, creepin' with the nearest ghost
I clear my throat when I wrote it I started speakin'
Not teachin' you to sleep-in when you freakin on the weekends
It deepens the start of new progress throughout the day
I don't play, what can I say, chase tomorrow's dreams today
Or fade away into the void of your normality
Tortured by the fantasies, awarded when you plant the seeds
Determination, ambition, not christened by your wishin'
Listen with your vision, you've risen through the frisson
Gravitate to that "you" you thought you'd never be
Don't waste your energy, that's success for your enemies
Walk your curious feet through beat gardens
Where we started, and breathe for departed
Dearly, never fear me, for I am just a man
Who's without a plan, dragging his soul through foreign lands
It can get better just believe it for yourself
The wealth never adds up to measuring up your health
So please leave all conceived notions at the door
Of this second floor in this greenhouse by the shore
I said before that I would make my return
Bringing back all the skills and the knowledge that I have learned
Concerned with the state of Hip-Hop, but more the world
For the little boys and girls, colored people caught in swirls
Of this fucked up experiment, the end, I know we're nearin' it
You try not hearin' it and refuse to place your fear in it
Look into the past and read the words on the pages
Listen to the past and hear the voices of the Sages
