Feather

Light as a feather when I'm floatin' through

Readin' through the daily news

Measuring the hurt within the golden rule

Centimetres of ether I'm heatin' the speaker

Motivational teacher with words that burn people

Seeing the headlines lined with discord

It's either genocide, all the planet in uproar

Never good but rules of paradise are never nice

The best laid plan of mice and men are never right

I'm just a vagabond with flowers for Algernon

The average Joe who knows what the fuck is goin' on

It's the hope of my thoughts that I travelled upon

Fly like an arrow of god until I'm gone

So I'm driftin' away like a feather in air

Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater

So I'm driftin' away like a feather in air

Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater

Taking chances, word tap dancing with wolves

In an ice arena out there, deep in the woods of Arizona

The sun be high, life's ironic

Ain't tryin' to be Talib when I write

Surreal life I paint it vivid habitat crazy insane

Watch the propaganda six o'clock news that are saying

Cultures clash for black folk and white trash

They revel in the cyberspace that might crash

Dash to millineum a million miles of runnin'

At the speed of now back don't return gunnin'

Rambo style gunho child gunnin'

Ammo blao two times loud stunnin'

Stunnin' when I hit ya lift you off the earth like

Ayo, take you right back to birth

And niggaz wonder why they might wonder why

This shit might happen but it does, they go

Driftin' away like a feather in air

Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater

So I'm driftin' away like a feather in air

Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair

So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator

Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater

Treat you better than me because that's the heavenly key

To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be

It's the knowledge of self understanding of the things around me

That becomes the wisdom that I need

Living this life to the best of my ability

Channelling energy to my thoughts into your symmetry

Remember me because my clothes remain gold

I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangols

It never ends I keep it rulin' like a cypher

The first caveman bringin' fire

Innovating and higher to blast mistakes I raise the stakes

It's double or nothing in this vacuumless space

I will survive, divine the time to cry

Fuck a hold or hide I'm alive with pride

And I drove the Chevy to the levy

But the levy was dry singin', "This will be the day that I die"
