There is a sacred geometry in the creases of your smile
Like a love letter from God, telling me this life is worthwhile
So pardon me if I stare, I know it might seem out of line
But I was taught that there are signs for those who ponder the divine
I only aim to take the time to appreciate what I can
And the twinkle in your eyes tells me your heart understands
Grandmasters
All of our teachers were poor and righteous
Spinning funk into the message just to get by,
And us children were taught not to sweat the technique
Using rhythm to achieve U.N.I.T.Y.
All through Immortal lessons of cunning linguistics
they showed us the world was ours, the limit became the sky,
Freed from miseducation, we wanted some changes
And it became Common to go search for The Light
But then we reached a crossroads that broke our harmony
We were fighting internal battles, a darkness that's hard to hide.
Cause It ain't easy to abandon a C.R.E.A.M. mentality
Remaining positive's impossible if you ain't gotta tribe
Refugees of the war bore black eyes, carrying black stars, labeled the Outkasts, the world grew cold.
Those legends have come and gone. They left generations of lost ones,
forsaken by what we do, no ties to our roots
"R U STILL DOWN?" Our hearts call out
In need of a revision, cause we can't recall the message. Ears deaf to the flava of music de la soul.
So now, " the Choice is Yours. Continue on this unrighteous path, or return to the village slum. relearn your Definitions"
For only there, might you find, the rebirth
Of our Grandmasters
Inevitable
Inevitable
You watched me like I watched the trees
Inevitable
It is in our nature, I say
You met me, in a time when the skies were filled with vibrant shades,
Bright greens,
Then reds and oranges,
I was fire then, sun-kissed, and full of life
But you watched me as I watched the trees
And you witnessed death
The skies were filled with muted greys and dulled browns
We both laid naked in our truths, the earth littered with remnants of our seasons past
And I seemed cold, different
I only wanted you to see me as I see the trees
For who they are and who they will always be
It is in our nature, I say
You met me in a time when the skies were filled with vibrant shades
But if you loved me like I love the trees
You would understand
that it is in my nature,
though cold it may seem,
we all must grow and will encounter our own autumns eventually
It is in our nature
It is inevitable
