about

Created as a document of the inner ideas of a person as they encounter multiple dilemmas in their troubling life, this song is also a homage to the therapeutic and inspirational properties of writing down your thoughts.
I was in dark place and constructing this track brought light into my life. Enjoy.

lyrics

These lyrics I wrote, a beacon of hope
I'm seekin' to cope, to keep me afloat
A phonic lifeboat full of beats and quotes
with ideas that are soaked in musical notes

Just connecting my thoughts, like connecting the dots
Then injecting my shots and selecting my spots
minimizing my loss while perfecting my sauce
Since love's all I got, gonna give it 'til I rot
Since love's all I got, gonna give it 'til I rot
Since love's all I got, gonna give it 'til I rot

When I'm feelin' pathetic, I act copacetic
Tell myself "don't sweat it", Keep my thoughts kinetic
(Stay)
cerebrally majestic with ideas so epic
That I express them poetic then align and go get it

The best of vibrations manifest situations
cause positive changes that shape your foundation
don't drown in patience cause hope's a flotation
And symphonic creation, a true salvation

chorus-
These lyrics I wrote, a beacon of hope
(repeat 4 times)

_______
Reviewing my ways ensuing my plays
analyzing the maze to see through the haze
some things stay, others just a phase
Just living my days postively praised

A mind is an ocean, thoughts stay in motion
of swirling implosions in tides of emotions
rising one moment, then fall in atonement
'stay bliss' be the slogan that keeps us going

Seeing the mission with twenty-twenty vision
then made a decision to change the condition
By causing demolition to being corporate driven
Let's focus our attention on sustainable livin'
(So we can)

Using verbal persistence, for fighting belligerence
and making a difference by demolishing ignorance
Done with the vigilance of a flow so vigorous
It's giving deliverance to all who's hearing this
