Arrived on the humble
Prior to the stumble
When sleeping lambs lounged with the lions in the jungle
Advised not to break the one rule or say what's untrue
No such thing as Artistry in War save the Sun Tzu
Soft sweet night gave way to brighter days
Place the fire in your gut in the sky to light the way
Promethean strides lead to eagles on your side feeding
Onlookers watching all grins teeth and knives
Even in the dry season I'm straight
Set a task flesh it out
Ration water from the well when there's a drought
The morning sun was rays of light from the shepherd's mouth
You meet some on the path and head back on separate routes
From brash young maladapt scrapping with an alley cat
To forty laps watching sand pass through the hourglass
Peace and love to fam and friends
Standing Where the Sidewalk Ends with captured moments through their camera lens
Cracking jokes laughing til it hurts
The tears welled then burst and fell to earth
We dance like amoebas
Into open arms that receive us
And readjust the settings when the aperture's off
Turning fallen boughs to ash looking back at what's lost
No service where I'm at I had to gather my thoughts
No two alike you see the same patterns repeat
But everything from A to Z's rather unique
Chaff from the wheat
Fishing in the fathomless deep
When the spirit moves all I do is catch and release
When I blast off she holds me down like gravity's leash
I pass through the star system and collapse at her feet
Had to patch a few leaks but made it back in one piece
Paid the cost to be a boss and grabbed a receipt
Beyond price tags and everything the camera sees
Beyond nice back when I was in the amateur leagues
Beyond surface dust this and that
Aristocrats in the lap of lux
Vast corruption, twisted facts
They dish it out and we lap it up
Mass production rain or shine
Break your spine for a place in line
The daily grind days and times
The out for self and I'll take what's mine
The got mine I'm gonna take all of yours
Runaway train with us all aboard
Peaks and valleys streets and alleys
Eye for an eye keeping tally
Beyond that a second home
To harmonize and reset the tone
The world is more than its outer crust
A man can't live on bread alone
