lyrics

Chilling in the moment got my knees in the fog
You gotta live it like you own it, saying peace to the gods
And there’ll be sequels involved, so all my people be calm
Until then, my mind is peaceful, I’m in seats with the stars
Never reach for a fault marked by external foolishness
Because they say don’t mean that you have gotta stop doing it
Be patient like a Kubrick flick, viewer when the rules are lift-
Ed, while they confuse creativity for stupidness
It won’t come to you, but take your time when you’re pursuing it
Enjoy life man, the fruit of it, the dandelions, junipers
The satisfying, putrid shit, and interlining wool in this
Time you’ll abuse, better beat it till you ruin it
Not heated by the Judases elude them when they’re spewing this
Bull, they wail and cry, they can tell it from a mountain
You got when you’re dying to get heavy and nostalgic
So now get to trying in those many you’ll be counting

Hop up out the domicile, nigger will be gone a while
From the title you surmise I’ll clear that gong
Crying tears of a crocodile, all I gotta flaunt is smiles
Apologize I didn’t mean to speak that long
Though every day is like a sadder day, looking for avenues I can take
Now I’m watched and I can’t grease that bong
But, don’t let the blood coagulate, it would have been quicker to masturbate
Instead of writing all these damn songs
But now I’ll sleep and all thoughts of before can go filmy
Yo I’m from Greenville, but I’ll never give my heart to a city, ya feel me?
Fig a deal me, or you’re a herb like a dilweed
These were the feelings I was saving as the architect, building (Belding) (bell ding)
Understanding more is less, you see, now Morris ain’t helping
So then I put it in these tracks and move on forward into hell where
We can prolly be ourselves without the judging or pressing
It’s it’s…I’ve made my point, this is the spot where I’m resting…no return


WHAT dreams we have and how they fly
Like rosy clouds across the sky;
Of wealth, of fame, of sure success,
Of love that comes to cheer and bless;
And how they wither, how they fade,
The waning wealth, the jilting jade --
The fame that for a moment gleams,
Then flies forever, --dreams, ah --dreams!

The dreams do come the dreams do go
As well as human flesh and blood
It seems that we do live enclosed
In what we want not what we love
It’s fucked trapped within all these schemes
In disappoint of what we eek
I query Dunbar, you agree?
That if you dream, you’re sure asleep
-Plain Nigger
