You know the type, first love was music, sound
Used to run around the house yellin “I'm Black and I'm Proud”
Astound track by statuesque and profound
Visually speaking whats beyond stars abound
Whether Atheist or Theist the message is love
Power of hope n peace by the wings of thy dove
Never forget whats inherently true
Your mission was blessed solely to you
Competing with image for others is quick way turn morals into enemies
Create your fate, cus inner-self knows who you're meant to be
Step fucked me up 'til I felt so ugly
Crying mama, don't love him love me
Grow, Build, Love, open up the third eye
Flow, Wield, Trust, complete consciousness is nigh
Such despair blinds eye to whats inside
Buried thoughtful heart, why does God hide
Prayer resides where on Earth the body is the temple
Empty, lens full, of course leads to sinful
When Eyes blind, blind shutter, shut shutters to eyes
Eye flutters butterflies of wonder
Wonderfully miraculous soundscapes of thy mind
Describe Art as a universe ultimately refined
Idiosyncratic cus they can’t comprehend the mentality
They call it abstract, I say I’m reaching to touch God’s reality
Music was, my first Love
Music Is. my only Love
The soul bleeds when, heart can not trust
Though we push on, because we must
Music was my first Love
Music Is my only Love
The soul bleeds when, heart can not trust
Though we push on, because we must
Describe Art as a universe ultimately refined
Not confined to a literal time
Sure, the world is only the world in the perspective of our minds
But the mind is infinite, soul undefinable
Length, Width, Height
Love, Space, Time
Synesthesia on continuum visually projected clearly
Adamantly admiringly art as limitless
Before our eyes, our hearts shine
Punch fist, frown clenched, screams quenched
Love & War, Love & War, Love & War, Love & War
Curse hissed, smiles poisoned, notes lynched
Love & War, Love & War, Love & War
Sponge-soaked memories of blood ablazed
Ways of evil I'm denying, metaphors larger than Moby Dick
~~Romanticism of denied DNA, saying we don't carry our parents' sick
We carry Love that lasts forever
And even though it didn't, we do
“When no one is around, Love will always love you”
So stay steady penned pennymen savin pennies for pens, what you think
You know the type, they bleed blood, I bleed ink
Giving all the all of me, but these songs are my selfish lush
Nothing left of me but music, this mirror holds my devilishness
Music was my first Love
Music Is my only Love
The soul bleeds when, heart can not trust
Though we push on, because we must
Music was my first Love
Music Is my only Love
The soul bleeds when, heart can not trust
Though we push on, because we must
Immanuel, Immanuel
Oh sing through me
Oh Please sing through me
Immanuel, Immanuel ...
