Empty lies attack and grasp your mind You could see further if you tapped into your third eye Some people get it confused see They think they're the center of their universe See, I think differently I think were all one Mother, father, sister, brotha all and none Every being in this creation is one Nothing's forever, even a diamond loses luster But you've got one life and some courage so muster, Muster it up all that you've bottled down, and break off those shackles that have kept you tied round Two sevens clashed, you watched but never learned The end of time was never really my concern Daylight burned, paid the cost and lost my turn Brain on fire, I let the darkness return Cosmic love gave me rebirth The shadows fell off and fought it out in the dirt As I looked up, to the stars, I Fell out of favor with the gods of the earth Some people say you know everything at birth And your whole life is spent uncovering what's worth What's worth knowing and what's worth fighting for What's worth not a care and what's worth dying for

It was late A half moon night When she came back to me Didn't want to fuss or fight She said by my side's the only place she felt alright I pulled her close what do you think we did all night? One too many as addressed by the sun The moon rise came and you had no where to run You dreamed of flying and I dreamed none Cupids shallow arrow hit me like a gun It was late, back that night Down in LA the city had left the light A drunken haze gave you all your might I pushed you away didn't want to see your eyes One too many lessons I learned that day Your mind can rot when love decays Sometimes life is a Mental Maze But a positive outlook pays in positive ways Your brown eyes Like pools of shit I should've known You were full of it Hard to fight such a beautiful sight But eventually I turned towards the light I'm grateful for the sudden smack upright You gave me the gift of heavy handed sleight

If you've got something to say why don't you just say it If you've got something to prove why don't you just prove it If you got something to lose why don't you just lose it But don't just stand there acting stupid What's up what's down Can't believe I stuck around What's up what's down Now I'm glad that I left town Up the river down the boat Paper planes go up in smoke Up the river down the boat Paper planes go up in smoke I see you over there acting so tough Punk rock patches don't make your life rough Keep maddoggin me and I'll call your bluff You sir need to sit down if you can't handle the ska reggae stuff One bright day I was Layin Down in the Venice sand I was approached by a long haired Dreaded rasta man Smoke clouds were rising Out of his yellow van He had a big fat spliff in his left and right hand, oh man Him and his wife, so soon they approached I Handed me the spliff and asked me if I wanted to fly We've got a boat and it's right near by Took a little walk and saw it with my own eyes If you've got something to say why don't you just say it If you've got something to prove why don't you just prove it If you're not happy with your choice why did you choose it? If you're not happy with your voice you better lose it A pure society needs no crown They said they'd save you, your soul is still bound One sound split and ran through the town I'm self governed now cause they tried to hold me down I see you over there acting so tough Punk rock patches don't make your life rough Keep maddoggin me, and I'll call your bluff You need to sit down if you can't get enough It was pretty clear that they built it themself, with Jah Rastafari painted on the shelf You could see it in their eyes that they'd been through hell But the smile on their face told me all was well From that day on there was no racial division The color lines blurred I had made my decision I'm a mental surgeon watch me make my incision And watch me roll my joints with some fuckin exposition You think I'm blind? How's this for vision Got clearer sight than any wicked politician Yeah, and this man's on a mission To the moon, back and to force you to submission She kept me goin kept me going for so long Could not figure out what I had done wrong I guess it didn't make a difference in the end I met the next chick right around the bend
