I ain't just rapping I'm unwrapping my grave clothes My funeral became a party so I've changed clothes Of course I'm metaphorically speaking To those who are seeking life's deeper meaning I've got skeletons in my closet I'm doing cleaning dry bones will live again I'll keep believing As my heart and this beat keeps on beating I feel moved to keep on rhythmically speaking I speak life when I'm live on the mic My soul comes alive when I feel the vibe It feels good, real good, when I get live I connect with something that I feel deep inside I was asleep inside but dawn broke I woke up I found my voice in silence and spoke up I bottled up so much emotion I choke up I have another date with destiny we almost broke up I feel good yeah today I feel good I know life has got it's ups and downs It's ok I feel good [x2] all things work together for my good [x3] it's all good now I feel good now Even when you have been misunderstood [x3] it's all good now I feel good now yeah! access granted right now to my inner thoughts My heart is like a cup running over let it pour It's like it's only in my verses I can breathe It's only on these beats that I can fully be This is therapy I do this for me It's like I'm on the couch not on an M-I-C This music creates the space I need To let loose caged feelings and set 'em free This is the soundtrack of my process That I go through daily yes I know stress Some of it self induced I confess but nevertheless I get it off my chest as I create street psalms that are like balm They bring healing to my soul and I stay calm Right now you're in my inner chamber Getting to know this familiar stranger I feel good yeah today I feel good I know life has got it's ups and downs It's ok I feel good [x2] all things work together for my good [x3] it's all good now I feel good now Even when you have been misunderstood [x3] it's all good now I feel good now Lack of reflection always leads to projection that's when you don't want to face your imperfections But are quick to point out someone else's If you've ever kept it real you have felt this We have all felt misunderstood It's worse when your intentions are really good But sometimes good intentions are not enough I know it's rough and tough but it's a must That I tell it as it is off and on the record This doesn't mean that it will not get better For instance we want everything instant but to think like this is to think like infants Good things take time so have patience that is true wisdom that is ancient right now you're in my inner chamber getting to know this familiar stranger I feel good yeah today I feel good I know life has got it's ups and downs It's ok I feel good [x2] all things work together for my good [x3] it's all good now I feel good now Even when you have been misunderstood [x3] it's all good now I feel good now

Inhale, Exhale, just breathe breathe again Yo check it, I don't mean to be a tease as I start this off with ease Sometimes I aim to please but now I'm shooting the breeze Yes I'm an emcee have you ever heard of these? We're that rare species and like hair that recedes We go way back but now as I proceed You'll find out that we're current in fact you will believe We're ahead of the times as lyrics we breathe We're kinda futuristic as I'm dropping these Lines and verses that almost sound prophetic Yes I'm tried and tested in touch with the essence Manifesting blessings in lyrical sessions I reckon when I'm done I will leave a deep impression I'm hoping if you're down you'll be lifted from depression If you're disconnected you will find the connection This student of life is still learning lessons Like how the enemy of greatness could be perfection You have to show and prove is what I heard before So when I bust a rhyme wooha! it's rhymes galore I cater to my core but leave open the door, I stay accessible on point like decimals and I'll give you more I inhale inspiration then exhale these creations I just breathe (Inhale!) I just breathe (Exhale!) breathe again my friend breathe again my friend [x2] just breathe (inhale) just breathe (exhale) just breathe (inhale) breathe again my friend breathe again my friend Someone called me a minister I said nah I'm an artist Maybe they are right I'm serving verses regardless My ministry of sound is still so underground So please mind the gap the sliding doors are closing now I do all kinds of styles I wonder if you're wowed Well anyhow I'm live and direct right now Profound is how you might describe what is going down As I'm flowing now different seeds I'm sowing now No need for termination of this germination I impregnate the sound with revelation. Giving birth to higher aspirations Bringing forth paradigm shifts in this generation Sharp verses cause penetration But bring no pain just a sweet sensation The music that I make will ease you mind I'm so laid back though fiery with the grind I'm lighthearted but burdened with heavy thoughts Maybe that's why my opinions are strong of course I don't get it twisted opinions ain't facts And these ain't scripture neither man they're just raps I inhale inspiration then exhale these creations I just breathe (Inhale!) I just breathe (Exhale!) breathe again my friend breathe again my friend [x2] just breathe (inhale) just breathe (exhale) just breathe (inhale) breathe again my friend breathe again my friend I had somebody tell me that I cannot rap at all Go through my catalogue expand your mind so small The last time I checked opinions ain't facts It's a fact that I'm not wack when my train of thought rides tracks So please mind the gap, don't cross the line You could fall off this platform it's clear that you're blind You don't have to like me and I'm not defined By whether you accept me inside your tiny mind Art appreciation is very subjective And to be expressive is my main objective I've traveled the world with my collective I'm a man of the people I'm known and respected so check it, don't be reckless this is just for the record My flow is an acquired taste so respect it The Most High can use the least impressive I'm a living witness that's why I'm expressive Yes I'm low key but I am not one to be messed with If you have bad intentions I'm not interested When I emcee, it's like breathing to me I take deep breathes and just breathe on the beat I inhale inspiration then exhale these creations I just breathe (Inhale!) I just breathe (Exhale!) breathe again my friend breathe again my friend [x2] just breathe (inhale) just breathe (exhale) just breathe (inhale) breathe again my friend breathe again my friend

It aint always black or white sometimes there's grey area This makes some folks blue and feel life is scarier I don't mind grey area cos see I am colourful not just because of my brown skin so wonderful I was sipping orange juice watching the colour purple The sun hung in the sky like a gold circle This is a stolen moment call me a bandit you've caught me in the act, you've caught me red handed I was contemplating on how I can make some green When a song from pink came on my tv screen My mind drifted I thought of the indigo 02 When I was at an award show and trouble brewed Violence broke out by a crowd I was swept Into the female loo with a blonde and brunette Their faces were pale and they were scared to death But my thoughts were crystal clear as I held my breath I escaped and I saw some crimson splashes On the shirt of this guy who had caught some slashes So many things are fake like false eye lashes But I see your true colours in glimpses and flashes I've got.... rhymes for your mind beats for your feet flows for your soul lyrics for your spirit [x4] Beats rhymes and life that's what it is I grab the mic and handle my biz [x4]
