"I use the mind elevation" Nas Sample
"I Take a deep sigh" scratches
Laozi
Check it
I take a deep sigh
Resume the daily routine
Consume marijuana fumes
And cruise with my team
Polluted teens
Used to amusing juvenile peers
Who choose to be wild and end up doing 2 to 5 years
It's reliant on the weather
To direct my sense of pleasure
I breathe in these embers
Attempt to a**ess the measure
Of our progress
Cause I'm feeling rotten in this gossip
Got caught up talking bout out nonsense in this moshpit
I'm all in
On a pursuit for more depth
Iv dug up four layers but still got the core left
So I store stress, and share energy with my neighbors
Infatuate about relaxing days and half baked Behaviour
I'm out for intelligence to represent me
Retaliate against the fallacies that bred dependency
And mend my entropy with these exceptional lectures
I never veer from the lesson
Maintain my cool under pressure
And my heads heavy with concepts you'll probably never hear
Dropping bits of knowledge when Im talking to my peers
Concoction of thoughts will rock ears once woven to instrumental
My potential is sought nonstop, control is Essential
I'm sentimental
Semi mental bent pushing pencils
While my sixth sense is possessing pens and bending utensils
You emcees use stencils
Pretend to invent your own style
I'll serve you a flavorful verse to bend your smile
And if your hear it, then nod to the rhythm, and burn the chronic
I'm amped up on verses and working logic to phonics
I never stop it
But pause to catch my breath when I'm winded
The Mary Jane in my veins got my brain feeling lifted
And I'm in no rush to hurry so I remain for a minute
Cause I don't worry about my life
My man, I just live it
Keep stepping resilient
Against the forces repelling me
Never let my essence slip into Hell that they telling me
I take a deep sigh
And sink into the city's silence
The white noise of industry and distant police sirens
I feel alive as I strive through this exciting environment
Inviting my mind to find what kind of surprises hide in it
I choose to blend right in, reflect impression of my habitat
'stead of stepping up against the thing that make me mad at that
Disgruntled Student
Glued to confusion From chaos
Still pursuing a punchline in an attempt to get the pay off
Compress the Sunshine to ink and spill the luminescence
Throw brightness over the eyes of the blind in my presence
I step smartly on ice
To keep my feet from slipping under me
And focus on the way my heartbeat mimics rhythms thundering
I've been wondering whats got our search so skewed
What the f** did we do to get our world so screwed?
Well some fools insist that it's best we try our luck
Some of us put up a fight
Man, the rest are getting high as f**
f**
Well Im smokin endo too
Cause I choose to cope just the same way as the rest of you
I aim to make my name viewed by every complacent teen
Just wasting his days away getting blazed on the green
And it's my ill premonition to mention this heads condition
Until it ceases to need an explanation for livin
Driven disciple, pursuing inner peace over beats
My words are manifest of soul(sole) they reside under feet
I ain't afraid of d**h
Nope, man I sleep whenever needed
Walk the streets of my city, constantly getting weeded
Fall from Jesus pieces, I reach for what exceeds me
Seek a higher knowledge
Still admire those who reside beneath me
I'm a free learner
Space cadet and weed burner
My dreams murmur of how this freaking world needs turners
But nonetheless, I know it's me who rotates the globe
So my opinion alone is enough to motivate my load
So I talk on the beats
To keep my spirit uplifted
Try to connect with anyone that be willing to listen
I seek the substance, to provide sustenance to the jive
And keep a wondering why we teach all these kids f**ing lies
Now take a deep sigh...
