[Verse 1]
This trip I took, yo, it really made me think
Not about a someone, but something else I need
To formulate my slate; mend my dead-ends and in-betweens
Just the thing I need to lift me from the tired world beneath
Not only me, but we, indeed can wipe our hands clean
Reaching toward the tangible, once considered dreams
It's possible through mantra and practicing your creed
Sounding cheesy, but believe me, that's the only way to sow the seed
It's why I cut a koi into my skin and watched it bleed
Understood it then, but now I see it's something more pristine
Red rose, blue rock, black font, green leaves
Laid back, eyes closed, ride it out and keep breathing
"Within you, without you," life flows free
It's amazing, always changing, but Jay he got it to a T
Pain is temporary, not impossible to beat
Keep moving, keep pushing 'til the endorphins leak
[Hook]
Your mind is all you own
So you gotta teach it right, man
Gotta keep control
[Verse 2]
Banging in the speaker; People call me motivational
Advocating spontaneity and saying no to saying no
Zoning in the moment, giving back to those who can't afford
To feed their starving souls; Both rich men and poor
So when y'all hear my words, see me digging deep inside
Pulling out secret pieces most prefer to hide
Take the time to introspect, see if my advice applies
I know it does cuz we're all one. Your life if parallel to mine
Young and wise ain't a paradox, you'll find
Eager eyes will observe. In turn, learn to empathize
That's the key to happiness. Adapting to survive
Everyone's fit enough to listen, but only few will guide
Past the path of ignorance many trample in their lives
Completely unaware they're reinforcing ancient lies
At times, it's overwhelming painting picture for the blind
But in time, your kind will die; Narrow-minded left behind
[Hook]
