August Greene - Meditation lyrics
[August Greene - Meditation lyrics]
I met a little boy, he asked me
"Where are we now?" i met a little girl
She asked me if I was proud
Of what I had become and
What the world would allow
I might put up a fight
But yet I'm still losing ground
If a tree falls in the forest
And no one hears a sound
Did it really ever happen at all? Did
It really ever happen at all?
I’ll tell you this: I put the work
In daily, so it’s my belief, i can’t fall
As we go into the well of
The black pool of genius, august Greene
Time meets worth, rhyme beats birth
Of a new day, born again
Good mornin' then
These beginnings never form an end
Crowns of righteousness not to
See the thorns again i argue with my aura
Am I born to win or born to sin?
Maybe both, contribute to daily growth
Oath is taken like Liam Neeson
Somebody take my daughter
They gon' cease from breathin'
They body snatchin' black girls in DC
Politics and propaganda on the TV
Distractions, distractin' us from action
It's time for some, time for some passion
There's a time for patience
A time for communication
A time for formation, a
Time when it's overflow
And a time when it's wastin'
They say time's on our side
Like a hip replacement
This shine that I wear is from
Them times in the basement
A time to rebuild, a time to be
Ill, a time to be still, a time that we heal
On the mountain top
The youth from the fountain drop
Thoughts about being forever young
It's like a deacon never ever sung
With the choir, this is praise and worship
Every day’s a circus
I walked the tight rope
Tryna find a way to work it
Yeshua paid for our sins
That's the greatest purchase
To keep it 100, we made imperfect
What I strive for is what I live for
Studied the lessons
Now the lesson is to give more
And endure trials with style
Like Johnnie Cochran
I rap with a gift that can't be boxed in
Winnin' is the doctrine
Starin' time in the face
I guess that I'm a watchman
My father created time, yes I'ma watch him
Locked in, tryna get out of a sunken place
A blackness that ain't defined
By time and space
"Where are we now?" i met a little girl
She asked me if I was proud
Of what I had become and
What the world would allow
I might put up a fight
But yet I'm still losing ground
If a tree falls in the forest
And no one hears a sound
Did it really ever happen at all? Did
It really ever happen at all?
I’ll tell you this: I put the work
In daily, so it’s my belief, i can’t fall
As we go into the well of
The black pool of genius, august Greene
Time meets worth, rhyme beats birth
