“Spell”

[Intro]
I can see you. I can hear you
I can feel the intention you set
They can mold you, fold you, or control you
If you do not know the extent of your strength
[Verse 1]
We needed life experience so we would be ready
To love one another without repeatedly fretting
And, we trust one another, so all the secrecy's ending
Wouldn't end up hating one another. No deleting, defriending
Or defeated regretting. We're in this for the long haul
Love is unbreakable, and we defend it with a tall wall
But, there's no anger, though. We transcended it. Resolve all
Conflicts with understanding we're family, and solve qualms
With compa**ion. I can relate to
All of the tragic swamps that you wade through
On a sunken road, but our running oath is to love and grow
Like basketball I won't play you
‘cause you're my fellow human. A lost loner and you bellow boomin'
Cries of pain. To the other side we may cross over like Carmelo's doin'
But, that's okay, sir. I'm not gonna hate my neighbor with anger like: “Hello, Newman!”
Holding grudges, I can tell you're suited to jealous moods and overzealous loopin'
Of negavtive thoughts like a broken record
They're parasites til' the host gets clever
They'll never get caught like a ghost or spectre
That very lie they invoke to pressure
You to hurt yourself and others
Music works to quell the mutters
Of the mind. When you rehearse, man you reverse the spell we're under
Music can remove the curse, ‘cause moods they hurt and, well, encumber
Our movement, sir. The universe leaves clues in words and tells in numbers
Patterns and cycles, though. Matter, ma**, Isotopes
Created and then destroyed. You're in saturn's damn rifle scope
He's ready to shoot down illusions. They don't stand a chance, I suppose
It's time to find the little things and examine that with a microscope
[Chorus]
Maybe I can cast a spell
Peirce like a dragon tail
Damage like magnum shells
I'm casting spells
Maybe I'll uplift the mood
Put light on the hidden truth
The power it is in you
You're casting spells
[Verse 2]
Y'all don't understand the power this wields
Moving in truth, influencing you. Man, a cowards lips sealed
Spit real, removing the ruse, and I'll shock like an eel
sh** deals ruining youth. Man, I wanna click heels
And just back to Kansas. I can't manage it. This rabbit hole is
Graphic, yo. The truth is naked like a ratchet on a dancing pole
Like a tactical nuke invasion, these raps can bomb a ma**ive hole
On myths and lies. We're shifting minds and the span is omni-national
This art form is our sword
Abandon your damn heart sores
At all costs. Don't fall off like an amateur at parkour
There are wars for the chemical structure
Make up of your body. When the sentinels come for
You, they'll have a posse with several hunters
If tentacles puncture your head then you'll gush your
Brain be leakin', because they're placing semen
To seed and integrate their invading demons
Into regions of your brain, but a grenade I'm heavin'
To their legions they'll be slain. Like a baby screamin'
You'll hear me callin'
I've been crying like it's clearly colic
We've been programmed like a SIRI comment
Let's put it on the table like the periodic
And peer beyond it
[Chorus Repeats]
[Outro]
I can see you. I can hear you
I can feel the intention you set
They can mold you, fold you, or control you
If you do not know the extent of your strength
