Mr. Lif - Kumite lyrics

[Chorus: Ayla Nereo] Tails flip, time slips Restoring the balance Seems ya bend the frame, see where your dreams wanna meet you Face to face into the give way into Time, slip, plans tip Reworking the shape of it Seems you sew yourself in surrender Can you turn your eye to eye, what you see there? [Verse 1: Mr. Lif] This is not about the d**h of your physical form Nor is this just another spiritual song It's about being present without clinging to the now Accepting changes without clinging to the how Fluidity, rigidity, on opposite poles Divided by the rat race and all of our goals The long quest for balance in a world that's off kilter Stress'll k** ya so it's best just to filter The madness out, the quest for status out Silence your mind, try and take a look at your route How does that path look? Has it been true to your core? If not the other shoe drop, it might get raw The quest for sanctuary often riddled with setbacks Close calls and moments that you'd like to get back But let the reins go, realize life flows If you're following your heart, you're gonna like where you go [Chorus: Ayla Nereo] Tails flip, time slips Restoring the balance Seems ya bend the frame, see where your dreams wanna meet you Face to face into the give way into Time, slip, plans tip Reworking the shape of it Seems you sew yourself in surrender Can you turn your eye to eye, what you see there? [Verse 2: Chali 2na] Transform, my plan of attack is hands on We adapt, never land on my back, I'm in grand form We stand strong, pushing forth with this metamorphosis Pharaohs and sorcerers tortured us but couldn't force us to quit Enforcing the gift given, herbals help the sense Metaphor martial art, verbal self defense I'm Bruce Lee with the claw shaped scars And crews flee when my flow take charge, we hate frauds Telegraph, never humorous, it's the paragraph pugilist They call Tuna Fish, my accolades are numerous You and your crew are a consumer risk Kumite, Tuna stay super, team up with Mr. Lif Not here to dispatch fists, we match wits With verbal tactics that could crack bricks, we back b**h Scratching your back itch with cla**ics When rap switched to darkness, we kept our match lit [Chorus: Ayla Nereo] Tails flip, time slips Restoring the balance Seems ya bend the frame, see where your dreams wanna meet you Face to face into the give way into Time, slip, plans tip Reworking the shape of it Seems you sew yourself in surrender Can you turn your eye to eye, what you see there? [Verse 3: Ayla Nereo] We're detached from the center from the moment we arrive We strive and strain steps to the desk to the drive And old this is it, work hard, buy sh** It holds us in, tight rope and tightening Yet truth - built into our bones, cells and souls Not a far off thing but takes some Listening, let it go, choice and a dare To nod to the beauty of the duty you find there What you find there What you find there What you find, what you find [Bridge: Chali 2na & Mr. Lif] You really shouldn't dwell on what we will or won't say You've entered the verbal Kumite, say Matae Surrender your shell, turn to spiritual form Nothing lasts forever yo, we all transform You really shouldn't dwell on what we will or won't say You've entered the verbal Kumite, say Matae Surrender your shell, turn to spiritual form Nothing lasts forever yo, we all transform [Outro: Ayla Nereo] Truth - built into our bones, cells and souls Not a far off thing but takes some Listening, let it go, choice and a dare To nod to the beauty of the duty you find there
