Time - Astral Wings
Look closely and you’ll smell the poison in a pot of gold
If you don’t use your mind someone will borrow your skull
They'll take you and replace you and give you a barcode
They'll make your heart cold and replace it with hard coal
I met a man who didn't know himself just the stocks he owned
Most these artists just Warhol Basquiat clones
The knowledge is buried in the stories not told
Like mystics who sleep on nails and walk on hot coals
AI want me to ghostwrite in binary dot code
So I’m glitching thе information superhighway with potholes
They wanna digitizе souls so they can be bought and sold
I’m shooting psychic bullets, their server shot with holes
My aim is remarkable, doubt my own only obstacle
The first shot tragedy, the second farcical
An open mind is the most dangerous weapon in an arsenal
I’m calculating flight patterns of pigeons and cardinals
The earth is a spaceship I’m just a barnacle
Mindstate above the clouds I do not see floor
I see geometry I’ve never seen and I want to see more
If enemies invade then they will see sword
When your immune system sees threat it doesn't ignore
Cuz when a T Cell sees infection it just sees war
Nourish what you love, what you want to see grow
Harvest what you planted, save some seeds and seed more
Share with your loved ones and give to those who need more
And when pessimism comes make sure it sees door
There's uncharted parts in my mind that I need to explore
Sipping tea from the snake vine I'm a psychonaut
Chakras lit, I’m a keep writing till the lights go off
I compost the pain I learned to write with rot
I keep cooking I stay hungry I might bite the pot
I stay on Paulo's Path through the light and the dark
I earned my astral wings I take flight I’m off
