Beyond Us

Illmaculate:

Yeah, and those are proud words to say

when your eyes open wide and them clouds burn away

and realise your environment's an extension of you

when it all depends on whether you're tuned in, so tune in

I'm human, a strong connection this group in, I plug this loose end

but I feel free, life's a gamble, so who's in?

Really, I'm all in, till this conclusion, I'm still me

I live within the confines of this human body

but escape it through the music, don't confuse it for a hobby

It's a movement at the least, the proof is in the product

I'm truly on it, I grew from a seed into an artist

Yeah, it was a rough transition, and I'm still struggling,

but what man isn't

I draw upon everybody's untapped wisdom

delve into their mind, free 'em and come back with 'em

Chorus (Sapient):

It's beyond us

how can you separate life from dreams

or trust what your eyes perceive

anything that you or I believe is indefinite and shouldn't put your mind at ease

It's beyond us

how can you separate life from dreams

or trust what your eyes perceive

anything that you or I believe is beautiful, so let it put your mind at ease

Iame:

And those are proud words to say,

when the sky opens wide and the ground starts to shake

And you realise the surroundings you perceive to be true

are thrown off balance by the things you consume

The trees, the shrooms, pills, yay

that's a night on tour for me

You can't restore the faith it stole from me

Just like my paper, it's runnin low

but I ain't broke, still got my solo reasons to be thankful

Perceived from every angle to make moves and lead by example

Follow too close and all you meet is your downfall

No meetings at town hall can unify the city

it's the hatin' y'all doin that divide us, really

Try and feel me [...]

earthworm grown fatter than an anaconda [...]

[...] the pain that haunts you to way beyond.

Chorus

Gold:

And those are proud words to say

when you shine this eclipse by lampshades of grey

you realise what you thought were once lies were sheer truths

So how you once walked the line is no longer by design

I took action, when my axis was denied

in case of my absence they buried the hatchet in my spine

so I strived to stay relevant and keep my skeleton in line

exhale just to let go as I inhale the West coast

At the same time I'm grateful for the air I drink

I pay dues just to share my think

by way of old speak, no beef

now may your stare turn blink

it's written in blood, I don't spare my ink, nope

So from this day forth, I'ma stay outspoken, dawg, say no more

Given you shall receive, so I present this delivery

until the day we take the world by storm

Chorus (Sapient):

It's beyond us

how can you separate life from dreams

or trust what your eyes perceive

anything that you or I believe is indefinite and shouldn't put your mind at ease

It's beyond us

how can you separate life from dreams

or trust what your eyes perceive

anything that you or I believe is irrelevant

Illmaculate:

I know there's something beyond us,

beyond that I don't know much, nah

it's beyond me, we all think like we got a grasp on things that won't budge

so call it ignorance or call it ill fate

but if we stay oblivious then we feel safe

and we feel safe long as the bill's paid, see

No pain, no growth and no real change
