Man, you know I got some questions

But you say you know the truth

I'm not done learning all my lessons

Ignorance is no excuse

Everything you say I'm missing

Think I'm destined for the dirt?

It's like I'm guilty by omission

I guess maybe I'll convert

And I'm like yeah yeah

And you're like nah nah

And I'm like hell yeah

And I'm like

That's why they call me temple priest mothafucka

Why you don't got any questions?

How you know that this is real?

I am feeling such repression

You can't tell me how to feel

Why you think I'm at the bottom?

Why you think I'm off the path?

Cuz I used to love the bottle?

Or is it the tattoos on my back?

And I'm like yeah yeah

And you're like nah nah

And I'm like hell yeah

And I'm like

Bow wow baby

Bow wow

Bow wow baby

Ay, judge thee not lest ye be judged

Don't mind me I'm just doing my drugs

I don't bar none and I don't hold no grudge

But I'm all real homie

I do not budge

They tell ya it's for your soul

They just playing a role

Cuz when it's all said and done

It's comes down to control

All the lying and deception

Been taking its toll

But I'm ten toes down

I will not fold

I get manipulated every time I'm in a bad place

They straight lie to my face

And then ask for grace

The phone calls stop coming

When I talk my case

Then they tell me that I'm wrong

If I question my faith

I gotta look past the messenger

And hear the message

I gotta be my best self

And get all my blessings

So let me light up this blunt

And if they hate, so what?

I'm doing me

I'm not concerned too much

Sitting on the mountaintop

Well above the clouds

I don't feel like I'm about to drop

Hanging in the balance

I don't harbor any malice

I done been up in the slums

I done been up in the palace

I'm infinity

Sacred geometry

Living simply

Universe aligned with my spirit

I feel its symmetry

I remember vividly

The devil tried to finish me

Nature got my back

So he couldn't fuck with the synergy

I break bread with the lost

Make joy by your pain

Found peace in a war

I made do in the rain

Star shining in night

My light true as the day

I don't believe in the hype

I'm only human, I say

Oh you lost?

Well I'm lost too

And some of us are murdered with the knowledge

But we all fools

What's the point of winning

While we living

When we all lose

When it's said and done

In the ending when we all screwed

And I'm like yeah yeah

And you're like nah nah

And I'm like hell yeah

And I'm like
