lyrics

...I declare:  
that We can conjure consciousness by vibrating the air.  
Put your hands up here. Abandon all your cares.  
I wrote this to be shared and make somebody throw a chair. 
Yeah. Riot. Well. I tried it. It didn’t help. 
Til I medicated and meditated and recreated myself. 
Omni potent Joseph Jason here to balance yo equation. 
Sacred is the flame. Changing preachers into laymen. 
Ever since We came in, the door been
Hangin off the hinges. 
And I’m in the trenches. Sharpening my senses. 
Sensei Say a monkey in the wrenches. 
Duckin & dodging Grinches. Hoppin up over fences. 
Breakin & taking chances. Searching for answers. 
Bangin like blacksmiths. Workin out stanzas. 
Pen to papyrus. Open up yo iris. 
We been stuck inside since before coronavirus. 

Breathe.  
Open your heart and receive. 
Breathe. 
Hold up your art and believe. 
Breathe. 
Open your heart and receive. 
Breathe. 
Hold up your art and believe.

Money is a tool. Whatchu tryina build? 
Hospitals and jails all full. It’s gettin’ ill.  
I feel it like a chill. My Grandma was a nurse. 
My other Grandma curse. They used to go to church. 
My Mother kinda did when I was a kid. 
'Til I did studies of my own. And had my focus blown. 
Started asking questions. The universe answered. 
Told me that my heart would hold me to a higher standard +
The middle path meandered thru the madness and the pain. 
Over mountains into valleys into cities into alleys. 
Out to Cali how we livin? Yo we activated.
An amazing time to be alive. Ay, I'm glad you made it.  
Please don't take it personal. This is my business. 
To tell you what I'm seein'. I'm a 3rd eye witness. 
Takin 2020 to whole other. Go for the gold
Like an alchemist. Open up your mouth and just 


Breathe. 
Open your heart and receive. 
Breathe. 
Hold up your art and believe. 
Breathe. 
Open your heart and receive. 
Breathe. 
Hold up your art and believe.
