From "Wise Hip Hop" mixtape series

lyrics

My flow is green tea, it be steeped in antioxidants
I’m stopping obnoxiousness- watch- that’s where the toxins is
Like free radicals be attacking the body’s prana
Squash that concept, study books by the Dalai Lama
Yoginanda Paramahansa or get clipped like a bonsai
My creations slice like a Hitori Hanzai
I cut through time, your space is merely filler
Freedom from physics, inner wisdom is clearly iller
Perceiving the dream as reality’s the worse mistake
Pursuing passion over purpose’ll curse your fate
Reverse your ways- embrace the moment for what it is
Drop the dead weight, & build wit constructive kids
The receptive ear hears the word from instructive tongues
Pen is mightier than the sword, but there’s more dough in drugs & guns
I look to the place from where the sun come
Shedding light ‘til the time when every one’s one

There’s no ordinary moment, every minute is holy
I treat MCing like a Japanese tea ceremony
Let the essence pour for healthy body & mind
Five elements unify to let the spirit fly

I sit to meditate, body positioned like a lotus
Thoughts exposed this, fact makes it very hard to focus
So Bodhidharma cut his eyelids off and threw em
They grew into the tea leaves that keep us awake after we brew em
Then tune in to the Universal Vibe of silence
On your radio dial this ultraviolet frequency is the highest
Mt. Science, & Math, Swords & Microphones
I study the sutras, enlighten domes recitin’ poems
Fightin’ foes & the souls of 10,000 hungry ghosts
Who feed on psychic energy like a parasite to a host
This the life I chose- we follow the Tao of Flow
Born-Power-God Equality, don’t ask me how I know
Hidden wisdom revealed in the year of the dragon
A whisper from Heaven is more than the ear can fathom

I hear the teakettle callin’, so I burn a stick of incense
Prepare to sip elixir, the experience is intense
Within 10 breaths you can find a thousand lives
And a hundred thousand objects to preoccupy the mind
But if you stop to find the mind, would you complete with success?
Or endlessly search until you’re beaten by stress?
I project mental imagery into what I call ‘real’
It’s confirmed & reaffirmed by the emotions that I feel
So real it burns, this illusion is pain
This cycle continues as long as we’re able to play Cain
To stay sane we convince ourselves that we are
And while we live among the stars, we live mentally scarred
The hardest part is to shed the skin & the sin
The answers are out there, you just have to look within
When you close your eyes the universe is there to see
I watch it like steam …over a cup of green tea
