God heals. man kills.
The human is real, God don’t exist.
Either which way, same image,
Preference, impressions burnt in
Downward turning, fallen in the cauldron.
Look at life as a cook, the recipebook.

Crystal clear, abolishing your means.

Everything ain’t always what it seem, bruh.

We wake em up from out the dream, bruh.

You know the Exus keep it real clean, bruh.

Everything ain’t always what it seems, bruh.

Heaven + Hell is part of the scheme, you know

You blessed, you never had to ask us

But one question:”What’s the answer to your past, bruh?”

Recollect, look back, watching how you act,

Following the signs, future is the response.

Never cut your feet on broke glass. Walking the path with

Baby steps: small + relaxed.

…Bruh

Focused like a pyramid,

Old renegade,

Life is what it is

Except when it ain’t.

Perfect surface, fucked up paint,

“Derangement of an angel”

My creative instinct.

Jesus at 33, that’s my insecurity.

We find you at the same spot that you got lost,

On the cross.

Your perspective can make you or break you.

Then later, you do to yourself the opposite.

Listen, we came here in the midst of fear

Parallel to love, curiosity, + wisdom.

So I never give up,

I just only get down.

Hit the ground + get up,

Give down? I don’t know.

Focused like a pyramid,

Old renegade,

Life is what it is

Except when it ain’t.

A star is born,
Making light from dust,
Every particle a secret heavenly messenger.
Westinghouse, Edison, Nikola Tesla
Never did better, tracing the pattern from cellar to stellar.
Manwoman’s job, a camouflaged God,
Freedom you released from, then put your fatigues on.
Fear, stress, fatigue set in, you was feeling pressured 
So you reduced the equation , made a difference,
Nothing’s left but the positive.
You undivided, personified, cross multiplied
Optimized product of environment.
Everything’s everything…

“ Eshu understands the darkness in the world and in men’s hearts. A traditional story about him says that when evil first entered the world, the Orishas didn’t know how to combat it because it was so different from themselves. Eventually, Eshu stepped forward and sacrificed half of himself to become half evil. Because he did this, he now understands evil and knows how to fight it.”

“Ichigo-Ichie ” Once-in-a-Lifetime

Ichi-go ichi-e (一期一会, literally “one time, one meeting”) is a Japanese term that describes a cultural concept often linked with famed tea master Sen no Rikyu. The term is often translated as “for this time only,” “never again,” or “one chance in a lifetime.”Ichi-go ichi-e is linked with Zen Buddhism and concepts of transience. The term is particularly associated with the Japanese tea ceremony, and is often brushed onto scrolls which are hung in the tea room. In the context of tea ceremony, ichi-go ichi-e reminds participants that each tea meeting is unique.The term is also much repeated in budo (martial ways). It is sometimes used to admonish students who become careless or frequently stop techniques midway to “try again,” rather than moving on with the technique despite the mistake. In a life-or-death struggle, there is no chance to “try again.” Even though techniques may be attempted many times in the dojo, each should be seen as a singular and decisive event. Similarly, in noh theater, performances are only rehearsed together once, a few days before the show, rather than the many times that are typical in the West, this corresponding to the transience of a given show.

How you spend the day’s your whole entire life compact
Like a text box capturing the rapture, exact
Moves, never fall inside a pitt trap hunting dap, you
God as a body, many layers, lotta stories.
Pouring wisdom out a gourd, quenching thirsty newborns.

Everybody tryna feel love, looking for they piece.
Separate your self from the world, claiming property.
Strange non-fiction that’s the history of humanity.
Mechanical, sophisticated animals, 
Reaching for the stars like that’s where we came from.
