Passion-Life Balance

from #StoriesAboutSongs · host RedefineHipHop

Passion-Life Balance Elegance like King Tee, patterns like Kool G Abstract like Kool Keith, calm like Latee Still it’s all me, as far as the eye can see The mind concedes, let’s the heart take the lead I don’t foresee any other path for me I laugh with glee when I craft a masterpiece That has to be somewhere in my future I guess I’m laughing less and wondering if I’m passing the test I fasten my vest, jump from the hatch, catch my breath Cause you can take it in slowly, or descend to your death I’m into your depth, intimate secrets are kept The seeker of clarity is reviewing the debt I wouldn’t fret, there’s more than some trash in the net It’s not perfect but maybe it’s the last that we get Don’t smash it to bits, naw, let it melt till its fits The passion and bliss, never felt good as this My soul good like Nefertiti, presence like Antionette Creative like Frukwan, On Fire like Stet Admire, respect, both for the prior and the next Inspiring text, requiring my full focus for context Yeah, what a bold concept, I’m set Code cracked, the track has its own effect I’m prone speculate about the things unknown The things I’m shown through bits and pieces, sight and tone Write and roam, vulnerably recite the poem The world can hear, let them all cast a stone Judge me, Imma still live grudge free To budge me, that’s gonna take a lot to read My life story is a mystery of failed success I fell for less then any one would ever expect That’s unless, you knew something I didn’t guess Checkers not chess, I don’t need the extra stress Rhythm like Queen Mother, the Rage of X-Clan Timing line Das Efx, confidence of MC Shan B-boy like PMD, poetic like Def Jef And Funkytown Pros still one of the best yet …Let’s get deep in the mines of the mindstate Mine’s made of pain and the things that I find great Signed, Date, Sealed, Countdown from the 9, 8 7X3, programmed to Annihilate All doubt, survey the lands of the fallout Small drought, however the ball bounce Fall back, lean in, get up, keep low The rules change every place you go The price of stone must be more than gold Cause words are written in dust, that’s not in code My story told by myself, that’s my final goal Express my soul whether or not the vinyl sold
