Jericho Falls

Mind, body, soul Was divided for a long time Devil had a hold Was to bold to ask for help Cause my pride, I was mold Coming up as a youngin' Rarely seen what I was told And so I faded And fell back into my hole I had to pluck the weeds out Around my heart, they tried they grow In my mind, tried to show, different colors When I wrote Paint emotions, with these notes With a pencil, I was loaned From this girl Who sat across me in class In the Worst subject I rarely used to study math Everyday cheating pass, if you don't finish first then last Because the systems gonna eat you up regardless of a mask And so I asked her Like excuse me pretty lady, I don't mean to bother Can I take a second maybe To ask for yah help? On a question that had felled me for the last time I wrote about it in that last rhyme You see this pen is permanent I need to past time Uh Erasing my mistakes, can I Burrow a pencil while I stencil out my pain She of course you can as long as you promise to script from veins Don't do it for the fame Soon as you gain they'll start say you changed Couldn't refrain What you expect of me to stay the same No evolution? no growth within these bars Is how you'd rather see me It's easier to pick apart See you project yo' fears Onto me, while I'm healing years Suppressed trauma that resurfacing from all the tears Within these lines, my soul cries, confiding in these rhymes I hit my knees, every rising, pray to THE MOST HIGH A new horizon in the sky, I know whom I reside Don't need a piece, created from the baker of the pie In due time, the entire thing will all be mine Just play the part, and my position I was handed signs Went to audition but the role reversed when on the line He told me seek the highest blessings reign on number five Never let them tell you what you cannot do, cause I'M THE GREAT I AM, manifested you in perfect time Cyclical nature, round and round, you know we spiral nine In the womb, matter earth, birthing pains a curse Adam hurt, took the fruit, ate it, knew his worth Yeah Uh The Eve of all the summers From the tree of knowledge You took upon it then you plummet Reading books in college Didn't inspire I acknowledge Went to heeding silence I found myself within the violence Went to killing ego Resuscitated now he free though Yah saved him assimilating from three nodes Mind, body, soul Spirit physical Breathed in through yah nose Emotional, and astral Every time you dream Drifting through the beams New realities is what we really bring Dependent on the conscious pray you really see Seeing through the non-sense, devil get off me Crucify the flesh, resist 'em and he flees Striving through yah tests a veteran at seas Flowing like some honey, milk the land of bees Uh Yah yah Uh Who would've known what would grow From the concrete, a flower like a rose, that is shown With a crown of thorns, laid upon the heads of the scorned Trumpet blow the horn, signaling defeat when they mourn Walls is crashing down But if a tree falls does it make a sound Maybe it does or it doesn't you just not around To reap the benefits of seeds planted in the ground Same blood as ma's son when they built the mounds
