Deca, Blu - Shelter lyrics

Creation a terrifying word
The little flickering flame of life
I'm talking about wonder and innocence
Horror and despair
And things that are haunted
And fraught with dreams
And magnificences and raptures, and glories
I am talking about the beating
Of the human heart
And the pulsing of life along it's veins
Yeah, yeah here we go

Number 10 chasin' light at the tunnels end
Summer, fall, winter, spring, some'll fall
Some ascend something's in the air
I can't place or decode
But lead us not from the
Sheepfold to the bistro
I cheated death but still treat
It with a deep respect in a shadow world of
Illusions and perceived threats
So, what's real? What's projected?
The signs hum electric
Remind us that the circuitry's connected
And can't be understood
With mindnumbing metrics
Or quantified by a fallen angel
With a death wish if I can translate what's
Written in the stars
You would see your own image
Sharper than a scimitar
Crescent moons to cut strings at the saloon
Quickdraw, fill 'em with holes at high noon
From womb to tomb, from tadpoles to worm food
Raised in the woods with the
Wolves and turned loose
A fraction of the whole awoken by a love tap
You are not that, you are of that
Growing up too fast, the years crawl along
Next thing you know
They're flying past on the autobahn
But all's well that ends on a high note
And all the rainclouds will be gone soon
Some are never there 'til the weather's fair
Others hold you down when it monsoons
I took shelter from the storm
In a stable where the word
Became flesh and was born
As silver ships pass so the
Light could shine through

Rhymes with new skies are

B-L-U, a reflection of truth
Direct from my roots
No question I was destined to do it
Blessin' the music
Same time music was blessin' me
Directin' me through a pure outlet
To let it be
Extra free, a person couldn't sit next to me
Especially if I'm expressin' me
To the next degree
An MC, I need a mic and a beat
On the hour every day, I be writin' a leaf
Fightin' to flee the demons off me
Call me the G oD, OG niggas want me to B
UM but you them, but you could call me the C
Calm in the streets, palming the heat
All I can be a reflection of somethin' made
Direct from love
Givin' love to the blessed above
My ancestors' hug
Imagine if no one ever died
But still, multiply standin' side-by-side
Jesus would be here, so would my grandmothers
Uh, holdin' hands as they stand above us
The answer was us, is us and always will be
Alive until God decides to kill me

How does each person find peace?
Eh, one can't answer that
Because that's for each
One to discover, each one has a different
Uh that's the joy and the pain and
Yes, yes the challenge
This is one of the reasons, let's say
We are here on earth, is to find out such
Things what we are
What we learn to be discover our own
Being and- and live with it and
Act in accordance with our own being
I think that's the important thing
