Foresta, Kabaka Pyramid, Protoje - Quiet Thoughts lyrics

Life is a journey you know?
And on this path I’n’I
Come to many realizations
The evolution of thought to creation, u know?

I remember when mi first
Start to question life
Age 7 ask questions why me de pon earth?
Is this my first or my second birth?
Or is it my third? Is that a
Number or is it a word?
Is life a noun or is it verb?
Is there a god weh a listen
Every single word weh mi think?
And when mi see the color red
Is it the same to you?
Or maybe what you explain is blue to me
What you perceive is individually risen from
The prison of the mind literally
And your senses form defenses
Against the entry
Of frequencies weh them sen fi
And the ones them weh out of them reach
You say dem doh exist but a
Dem one de mi seak, yea
The preacher dem a preach
But in the end I teach myself to seek
My self until the end of these
Dying days, I used to ask my how?
But now I put the why? in place
Instead I cook the wheat I
Cook the rye in place
Fi put my third eye in place, yea

And we’ve lost meaning
With all that’s going on with
The life we’re leading
All in all, Great or small these feelings
Knowing that we’re blessed with
The air we’re breathing believe me

I remember thinking if you born
January how you one
Grade higher than someone weh
Born december before?
Dat nuh mek no sense when you check it out
The ones weh born december nuff
Nuh mek it out the school system provide the
Tools fi true victims
Arrive while fixing the mind on rules
Three 6 a di sign dem choose
Chesse trix by design abuse the youths
Time a fly sometimes I feel I’m a fly, jus a
Pitch and a watch people sit
On a clock from 9-5 time just a fade away
Till the day them family sing amazing grace
I heard that souls are made in space
Then them travel to earth
So the womb can unravel the birth
I search with a ravenous thirst
For someone to balance an merge with
But sometimes my manners desert me
Thoughts rambling example is this verse
But what the meaning?
As long as truth’s been dispersed
I’m cool with that
Some a burst oozies Glocks, I choose fi Ras
Tunes keep the youths in tact
It’s kinda funny
How I keep goin like the energizer bunny
Mi haffi memorize an study da verse ya
‘Cause the message I’m delivering is truth
I confess with every synonym I use yea

Yeah man, you know de time de when
You reflect pon life and
Wonder what’s the meaning
So one a dem time
