The Craft |
| This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe |
| This style, they say music gives new life |
| From a source inside that is forever flowin' |
| This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show |
| This life, I’ve been given a gift tonight |
| And for that, I vow to be a vessel |
| I didn’t have to be, given the gift to rip |
| I’ll never master me, I know that it’s from Him |
| Or Her or It, dimensions that sit |
| Waitin' to sift through me, I fall short, still it hits me swift |
| I didn’t have to see, I coulda hit the lick |
| I coulda drifted quick, I coulda quit so quick |
| It’s really a trip, I guess I was picked |
| I don’t know what I did to deserve a ride like this (Damn!) |
| I didn’t have to eat, I coulda been so thin |
| I didn’t have to be, quoting these sentences |
| I didn’t have to reap, the work put in but then |
| Even the work in itself was such a blessin' |
| I didn’t have to see, the planet tip to tip |
| I didn’t have to make, a livin' writ to writ |
| I didn’t have to dream and then begin to live it |
| And for that, I vow to be a vessel |
| This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe |
| This style, they say music gives new life |
| From a source inside that is forever flowin' |
| This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show |
| This life, I’ve been given a gift tonight |
| And for that, I vow to be a vessel |
| I give thanks for my rhymin' ability |
| I don’t front like it’s not a responsibility |
| I can open a mind, if the youth will listen to me |
| I’m not goin' to front, like I’m on some killin' spree |
| And as hard as the times are, God is livin' through beats |
| That come not from minds |
| But that travel through spiritual reasons |
| Some of the time, I feel like, it’s not even me |
| No mon-ey can buy gateways to infinity |
| Still I’m hun-gry to shine, when I know I should let it be |
| And I want but I have, every single thing that we need |
| So help me align self with soul and then I’ll be free |
| To sculpt and design verbal styles and experience freedom |
| This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe |
| This style, they say music gives new life |
| From a source inside that is forever flowin' |
| This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show |
| This life, I’ve been given a gift tonight |
| And for that, I vow to be a vessel |
| «Let go, do what’s in front of you» |
| «Then, let go, then do what’s in front of you» |
| This ain’t leisure, although it feels |
| It is a duty, a way to live, another way to give |
| Another way to just, have communion |
| With the source of the sun and moon and |
| A way to pay the bills |
| Displayin' skills, I take it REAL serious |
| The vibe’s so mysterious, not just one more day to kill |
| .and I could lose my connection |
| If I do not respect it enough, fade away it will |
| Day to day it gives energies |
| That replenish me, if I believe and I say it will |
| And act on it, cause action is the key to freedom |
| Only way to be a leader, lead by the way you live |
| This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe |
| This style, they say music gives new life |
| From a source inside that is forever flowin' |
| This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show |
| This life, I’ve been given a gift tonight |
| And for that, I vow to be a vessel |
