Time/To Stay Sane

Herb in the mornin' for my breakfast
A pear from the tree for my lunch
One more toke before I exit
I plan to take the day how it come

Prisoners of time
Though time does not exist
In a real sense
It makes no difference
2 The Most High
Him vibin' on different clock
No death
Life goes on it neva stops
So mature at your own pace
You ain't gotta race
No competition wit' others
Only yourself
2 be the best that you can be
2 set yourselves free
Yo no more runnin' or stress
Anxiety
Got us missin' out on most of R lives
Because we runnin' clockin' in
Yo checkin' the hour like every ten
Where I'm at
Where I gotta be
I can't be late
Got us shackled by R hands and feet by certain date
By a certain month
Certain year
A certain age
What's age
It's just anutha page in the book
So slow yourself down
Take some time 2 look around
Look within
'Cause enjoyin' this life is no sin

Time
It really does not exist
Time
Allowin' me to flow like this
Time
Forget about that watch on your wrist
Time
The only time I know this is it
Time
It really does not exist
Time
Allowin' me to flow like this
Time
Forget about that watch on your wrist
Time
The only time I know this is it

How I know
How I know
'Cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn't know
How I know
How I know
'Cause my soul told me so
Everyday a chance for you to grow
Yeah, a chance for you to grow

Life has no beginning
Love it has no end
Life is going on no matter if you lose or win
A mixture of the two
True definition of a blend
Like two lovers making love it's pure ecstasy we in
So much easier is life when we going with the flow
If it ain't you then let it go
(Let it go)
Not in theory what I know
Never get too high or get too low
Yo

Time it really doesn't know
How I know how I know
Cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn't know
Unless it's with the flow then I suggest you let it go 'cause
Time it really doesn't know
How I know how I know
'Cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn't know
Unless it's with the flow then I suggest you let it go

The only thing you need to do is you
If that thing there meant to be then time gon' prove it true
So you can stop your worryin'
No need for you to stress
Mistakes they gon' be make along the way
Just do your best
Pay attention 'cause it's subtle
Tell me how it make you feel
Think but not too much
Cause it might leave you frozen still
Surrender to the current
Get in it like the wind
Take you to a place that you ain't never thought or been
Where... expectations don't exist
To yourself you can be true
Step outside your comfort zone
To discover sumthin' new
It's up to you
Can't always know the thing before you do

Time it really doesn't know
How I know how I know
'Cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn't know
Unless it's with the flow I suggest you let it go 'cause...
Time it really doesn't know
How I know how I know
'Cause my soul told me so
Time it really doesn't know
Unless it's with the flow then I suggest you let it go

Time is pressure
Worry about it much lesser
Bad 4 your health
Full on sprint lookin' 4 wealth
Got us searchin' but not 4 our self
Not by our self but majority
24 hours not the authority
It's in your mind
4 your soul don't know the time
Yet it wandereth from place 2 place
Neva in haste
I do agree
That moments we shouldn't waste
Doin' things that we do not like
Do what u love
At the moment that it feels right
Deep in your heart
Then do it
Natural rhythm get into it
Start 2 move 2 it
Grab a partner and groove 2 it
Set the mood 2 it
Yo eat your favorite food 2 it
In a nice zone
Don't even wear no watch on... my wrist
Yo green, yellow, red that's it
Soon come
I mean no disrespect 2 none
But I'm pledgin' my allegiance 2 the One

Time
It really does not exist
Time
Allowin' me to flow like this
Time
Forget about that watch on your wrist
Time
The only time I know this is it
Time
It really does not exist
Time
Allowin' me to flow like this

I write to stay sane
If not I go crazy
I'm crazy in love with this bug
I can't shake

Can't rush inspiration
I sit here and wait
For that next dose to forward
To make itself known

So I can interpret
Record it on paper
Then practice it over and over again

To share it with you people
My family and friends who receive it
Not just for a hobby I need it

'Cause without I'm nuts
'Cause it's never enough
When you stay wantin' more and more

Without it I'm cranky
I'm moody, I'm achy
I'm dismal, lethargic, I'm sore

So for survival I write
In the morning at night
Over dinner in place of first meal

Lunchtime, whenever
Wherever
On whatever
Paper bag, notebook or letter
Check!
Bananas I go
Bearing baskets of fruit
The ripest you'll find in the garden

That hang from a tree
That I cut from a limb
Trim it from stem
Then I share with them
Who listen intently
I doubt those who sent me
Dream big I do but I live my life simply
Though that right there tempt me
I once drove a Bently
And felt like the man when I did

But that didn't last long
'Cause the car wasn't mine
Not when you want it but always on time
That's when it appears
After all of these years
I see nuthin' has changed but a face and a name

Still shackled in chains
Addicted to fame
Addicted to itches and physical fitness
I once was a witness but now I'm hands on
Those voices I hear just won't leave me alone

So I write to stay sane
If not I'd go nuts
To the tell truth y'all probably fuck some shit up

It's my yoga
My prayer
My peace and my calm
My passion, my gift
It's my weapon, my charm

It's all of those things
To me everything
The thing that I choose over everything else
Even those that I love
Understand what I'm sayin'
Death will come sooner if I shun inspiration
So I'm creatin' the space
Got to have it in bunches
I write in my head while I'm packin' their lunches
Like a detective I follow my hunches
No gloves for ya' boy but I'm packin' my punches

I'm defending myself
I'm wardin' 'em off
When it's time to come hard
When it's time to come soft

My words are my power
And this is the hour for me to share them with the world

'Cause for years I been plantin' and tillin' the soil
It's time to reap harvest

My temperature boils

My cup overfloweth
I bid you drink up
Sumthin' to turn to when life really sucks

Grab you a pen
Some paper, some time
Write what you feelin'
Yourself you can heal
Over time if consistent
You must be persistent
Like anything else it's a lifetime commitment

And I know that it's hard to let down your guard
But don't be afraid
It's an ointment for scars

How I map out the stars
How I get to know God
To tell the truth y'all it's my Wizard of Oz
So I'm professin' this now
I'm easin' on down that yellow brick road
And I'm carryin' nuthin'
That might be a load
I'm reachin' my goals
Feedin' my soul
Comin' in from the cold
Tappin' into my genetic code
Beast mode...

To stay sane
