Lyrics
Looked all around, saw the faces of the people listening and thought "You're amazing." Maybe we're not friends, but we're more than strangers. All walk a course that is fraught with dangers. Life we're living's too short for a war with neighbours. Entertain with some awesome cadence. Think I'm in it for the beef? You're mistaken; really I'm just headed to the store for bacon. Then I'm gonna bring it home and everybody's gonna be jolly 'cause I ensure the resources later. Whenever I get up on the mic, it's a wrap (rap) like JJ calling on The Force Awakens. Composer with the most composure, doing some yoga. Heed the words of Yoda. Host with the most focus in one and only the known moment already noticed that most rappers that are boasting about a GOAT thing are really notably mediocre - time you woke up! Almost the ball game over. Step into the lane, drain a floater, or maybe a dunk and make a poster. Running up a steep slope but I'm never giving up. I keep on pushin'. Heavy rain falling on my face, wind whooshin'. I'm persistent; Rome wasn't built in an instant. Looking ahead, The Seven Hills in the distance. Living my life with this thrill of existence. Seen a few signs that I'm on the right path; money in the bank to accompany a kind heart. Try hard to keep a tight craft. Time flies past quite fast. Another night parts for the light that the sunrise casts on a planet where science tries to find where time starts at the same time some guy's yelling out some snide remark as he drives past. Who serves to protect strikes fast when they wage a war against a benign plant. The wide variety of life's vast. Many slices in the pie chart. The wide variety of life's vast and there are many slices in the pie chart.
The universal search for the avoidance of dissatisfaction. The universal search for the avoidance of dissatisfaction.
There's a wish for all beings to have satisfaction. Compassionately active towards that happening whether I am sober or if I had a 10-pack of Jim Beam. Getting in the moment, then I crack a tin. Get it crackling and never shackling the patterns in mind I'm imagining, fashioning, actioning. After reexamining, the haters start clapping. In the journey, a long way to the end; I can't start there. For the duration the many obstacles are hard to bear. Things that are happening aren't fair, but I stay so damn positive, they call me R Square. Float in a boat in a moat; got so many flows, bro, better have a raft spare. White rapids strike rappers. Then they wanna run away like a rabbit with an amphetamine habit, on his way to a patch of delectable evergreen cabbage. It might be incredibly savage, or on the other hand a heavenly planet. It's a matter of the perspective. Selective of the directive, steadily at it. Choose to produce the solution: move with those groovy illusions. Moving through music. A student's movements improving, assuming. Now ask "Who's in?!" Not scared of losing if I tried my best to win. Fear's dead, better notify the next of kin. His name is Ignorance - goes for the innocence. Forever treasure the better measures of the diligence. Whenever thinking about the universe I'm living in, there's nonresistance to insignificance.
Find the optimum balance of concentration and relaxation in the present moment.
The universal search for the avoidance of dissatisfaction. The universal search for the avoidance of dissatisfaction.
My personal goal, whether I want to be or not, is to avoid dissatisfaction.
