Guru - State Of Clarity lyrics

My mind blows decisions at times indecisive I think about the paradox that life is Keep my head to the sky and understand who Christ is Turn off the news 'cause everyday is a crisis Lifeless n***as on the couch weeded out It like LaDainian, certain types of n***as out my life I weeded out I believe in the route of soul before paper No gold before labor, truth told with no glaziers Days are getting darker quick, I was told that it was written I'ma author it Wanna go the same place that the martyrs went The black figures on the wall in my apartment Like LaDanian y'all, I be charging it Touching down with the people from my town It's the Chi that be giving me my ground Dug in the crates of my soul and I found, clarity Be yourself, yeah and be so clear Hey, yo just be yourself, and be so clear Be yourself, yeah and be so clear C'mon just be yourself and be so clear C'mon just be yourself and be so clear Toiled in the trenches, faced judges on benches Betrayed by some that I 'fed not to mention Standing here now in the best condition Up outta the dirt so I suggest you listen See money can't make you or me Protect my mind with nines 'cause it shines more than j**elry Used to do things that weren't too productive Now I breathe life into mics for your comfort I see past the groupies and gold diggers to find women How I'm living? doing me and not savagely driven Taught the game of fortune and fame So I'm not playing no more, I hold the torch with flames I've lost and gained at the same time MC's biting and swagger jacking, still commit the same crimes Once you see past the surface, that trash is worthless With me you get a lasting purpose
