From "Wise Hip Hop" mixtape series

lyrics

My eyes are open wide but I don’t see nothing real
Just an ongoing battle between my thoughts and how I feel
Plus a veil of illusion between me and the Omnipotent
Most are indifferent, like to the Maker we’re not significant
Naw- that don’t sit right with my consciousness
An artist loves creation, to think not is just obnoxiousness
To not think’s not an option- like agnosticism
Lost in prison of ignorance- I seek the Gnostic wisdom
In visions I see clear, looking to be here in the now
Fear is a shroud, like trying to see a mirror through clouds
I don’t just sit & wait- cultivate a different state
Clarity cuts through clutter superfluous thoughts dissipate
As the single pointed purpose penetrates my perspective
Until all is still and the water becomes reflective
Like a lens, light bends beginning the ending of time
And repetitive lives- this is zen of no mind

From the rooftop of the world comes the key to inner wisdom
Look within, inner vision
From the rooftop of the world comes the key to inner wisdom, inner vision
The jewel in the lotus

The Life Force pours proving God is a reality
As she reveals her nature my spirit transcends duality
Yin and Yang become a memory like physical limits
All that’s required is that we listen to her mystical whispers
Like mythical figures who outlive their own time
We’re provided limitless space to go beyond our own mind
The Divine don’t need a reason, mankind keeps asking why?
Countless questions fill our lives perhaps they’re answered when we die
I meditate in darkness during moments of quiet
Until my death comes to me, in this moment of silence
Water flows to find it’s own level in stillness
It’s the paradox of purpose, I bring wellness by spittin illness
Can’t kill this, my essence’s beyond temporal knowing
So bow your head, I’m like an emperor flowing
But the Buddha warned against getting caught up in cleverness
So Sinai humbly seeks to reach the peak of a spiritual Everest

From the rooftop of the world comes the key to inner wisdom
Look within, inner vision
From the rooftop of the world comes the key to inner wisdom, inner vision
The jewel in the lotus

Freed from Babylon, I travel on to Shambhala
Far beyond the intellectual studies of a scholar
All my knowledge was a stepping stone to understanding
Wisdom unfolds like the universe- forever-expanding
There I am in the center, cross-legged, thoughts focus
Look to the locus to find the jewel in the lotus
Om Mani Padme Hum
The paths are many but the goal is one
