I wanna take a trip to the states Because when the air escapes From my chest It is the place that knows me best And I found myself in New York City In Brooklyn and no one was with me Until you broke into my dream And told me that the queen Wanted her king back And it is a massive attack To know that the strikes will hit Every girl you call a bitch As she rises to claim her power And I watched the demon shower All the shards on me Til a little girl set me free I ran out of my building half afraid Because the sun was in the shade And she took my hand Asked me to help her cross the sand To the other side because the cars Were passing by like shooting stars And I could only think “you must be an angel” So I stood and paused until the ladle Was full with soup to drink And I took a second to just think And looked left and right Til the coast was clear and white As a ghost I led you across the trail It was Flatbush and it didn’t fail To live up to it’s reputation But as I watch you catch a dream with elation And skip away into the neighbourhood I thought God the Great must be good To send a little precious child To save me from my thoughts so wild That had convinced me I was masked By an evil that was dark Because I reached out my hand to touch And it, damn well, exploded the plug It blew out with a bang And I was scared because my phone rang At the exact moment the die was cast And I reached back into the past To pluck an apple from a tree And now he is one with me In the land of duality To break like waves on the shore And I can’t take it anymore I gotta get outta here But it becomes crystal clear That kundalini is electric And when life gets hectic It slows you to a glacial pace And you drop out of the human race Into something deeper and dynamite I don’t think I’m keeping this thing quiet
I unlock my phone And Chocolate opens Like a heart that’s in the hand you’re holding And you’re too sweet to be believed You’ve been hiding nothing up your sleeve Only an endless free terrain And I’ve spent years studying your pain From afar And Teresa named a star After me So somewhere out there my shine you’ll see Under ever present heavens We were both born on elevens And so I tick my clock Wondering what it is you’re not In all that you claim to be You were my favorite song to see
I’m burning up like the flow of the river As all of life calls me to forgive her Coz I can’t split in two just to spite my face Or deny the regard of constant disgrace And I was only a teen But I saw through the cracks in the dream Untoward a vast expanse Where music makes the people dance And I feel as though I’m on fire Like I’ve been lit by something higher But it always seems to come back to ground Like I’m rooted in the sound Of you saying goodbye Then realizing what it means to die As I sweated it out in the class Then fell victim to what could not last And I stirred on the floor as I heard her call It was like I’d lost the wall Separating me from creation A moment stunned and then elation You can call it enlightenment or waking up Or just realizing all is love Then I see you with your eyes downcast And I try to forget the past But the memory of the crush is ever fresh And I’m still not there yet At the part they say release But I may just be at peace
The universe is trying to get through to you
So don’t wipe away the innocence and give pain its due
Cause there is a reason for everything under the sun
And there really is no telling where anything is begun
Cause it is all cause and effect, an experimental design
And the fabric of the cosmos is neither yours nor mine
So live your life in truth, in alignment with the whole
Cause there is nothing else that satisfies the soul
