And so, one's eyes are opened in astonishment

By being living

Totally here and now

And so finally we come to the last consideration

Which is the question

In what way and by what means can an individual who is under the impression that he is a separate individual limited by and enclosed in his bag of skin, how can such a person effectively realize that he is the universal self?

I put the pen to the pad

Not another little fad

Had to do it how I do it cause I kind of felt relaxed

Where'd the fire go?

Where'd the shine go?

Where'd the rhymes go?

Shit I don't know

Maybe all the time I wasted letting people get me jaded

It's my choice and I hated the patience and all the waiting

But I can't go back and switch it up

Embracing all the facts made me better for the run

I could give a flying fuck about what you think

Cause I'm just getting tired of giving 1, 2, 3

I've gotta get away and I don't wanna sink

I've gotta do me

Let myself free

Chasing had its day

Now I'm onto different things

Rap and living true since I'm blessed and a fiend

Never let 'em tell you how to do your own thing

Unless it makes you better than before you could see

But now I see

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

Yeah

In a certain way the question

How do I realize the self?

Is the wrong question

Why is it the wrong question?

Because it proposes a journey to the place where you already are

Now it's true

That you may not know that you are there

But you are

(Let's go)

I caught you in a clip like a Chris Paul step back

I could never miss while I'm ahead no setbacks

Flying through the days with a spliff and a jetpack

Tryna do the things that you can't that I'm best at

Wishing I would change but I'd never switch the set path

Questions on my brain I could never ever help that

Do it for the name and the lane and the game

That I swore I would take what's mine when I get back

(Yeah)

(When I get back)

(Yeah)

(When I get back)

(Yeah)

(When I get back)

(Yeah)

(When I get back)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

And if you take a journey to place where you are

You will visit many other places

Than the place where you are

And perhaps

When you find through some long experience

That all the places you go to are not the places you wanted to find

It may occur to you

That you were already there in the beginning
