Hook:
Power to the people, middle finger to the popo
Turning them into an army I would say that that's a no-no
Put down the guns, seek the peace, help each other
I got love for all of you, y'all my sisters and brothers
Verse 1:
I stole a line from Mick's book, turned that sh** into a hook
When I started eating healthy, turned a kid into a cook
When I started drinking water, then I started seeing clearer
Now I'm present every day, I don't spend any time in fear
Perfect attendance award, now I see right through the war
So I'm asking my brothers man what the f** are y'all dying for?
Little bit of gold won't do nothing for your soul
I see it every day, it could turn your heart to stone, but
I'm staying flesh and bone, got some blood and some chakras
You don't know what that sh** is? Look it up it'll shock you
I got body, mind, and soul, they be asking what's the difference
One's the physical self, next one talks and last one listens
So I'm tryna quiet down, listen up and observe
Still delivering these lines, with energy and verve
I don't know if I'll be big but I just want to be heard
And I only do it right, as I'm giving you my words
Hook
Verse 2:
If you focus on your breathing you can slow down your mind
If you pop a tab of lucy you'll be slowing down time
Drugs are good to help to take you down the path, to a point
Some of my best memories are smoking a joint
With the boys, but you've got to start to use what you learn
To apply it to your life when you've got no bud to burn
Seek the peace, put on a smile, drink the water, take a breath
Learn to stay elevated, soon you'll stop fearing d**h
(d**h? Nothing but the start of a new life!)
The root of the fear is the lack of the knowledge
And personally, my third eye opened in college
But this knowledge isn't something that can really be taught
You got to find it by yourself, when you're thinking ‘bout your thoughts
When you drink it all gets lost, alcohol is a poison
“Put the bottle down” is the message I'm voicing
The message in the bottle says we need to drink the water
But the plastic in the ocean's sending fish right to the slaughter
It's up to us to make the changes that we deem that we need
Be sure to source your stuff sustainably when buying your feed
Be sure to think about your brothers when you're thinking ‘bout yourself
Ain't nobody alone, we can't do life without help
