Sometimes I get a vision from the mind of a mystic, Sometimes i am pre occupied and probably missed it, I probably wished it away in some instance, Five other minds are present, Blades of Steel, we mixed this, For Christmas, I want the knowledge of the universe, Before I can dispense it, you know I must accrue it first, But then again I ought to be aware what I wish for, The truth is just the truth, I don’t know what I resist for, It’s been said that mortal men can’t comprehend the expansiveness, I simply lose myself inside the beat, in a trance to this, Danceable arrangement of the various sounds, That’s raining overhead like most precarious clouds, So right about now, I send a blessing to my brethren, And sisterine, sometimes it’s so hot the mind’s blisterin, I wish you infinity of bliss and divinity, Mind, body, soul, it’s the meaning of trinity Like that y’all, like that y’all, In fact ya know it’s like that y’all, It’s like that y’all, like that y’all, The universe fade to black y’all, Above the clouds is where we fly and simply hope for the best, With no control we just prepare to don inflatable vests, But the fact of the matter sometimes we don’t have control, So just sit back, relax and let the good times roll, It’s like life, what’s the purpose of our service on the surface, Of this earth, it’s like a circus when we walk around in circles, right? I often wonder what the hell we’re all doing here, Sprouted from the earth, now it seems the goal’s to ruin here, But who knows who’s really in charge, If this is a conspiracy it’s fearfully large, I got the will to pop a president that profits from people, But if we’re all too stupid, the question is, is he evil? And I don’t know, here I am, one third through my lifetime, And now I realize I walk along the right line Cause I made it here and all my marbles are in tact y’all , Mostly I control my future, and that’s a fact y’all Like that y’all In fact ya know it’s like that y’all It’s like that y’all, like that y’all The universe fade to black y’all It’s like this, it’s like that, It’s like this on every part of the map, It’s like that, it’s like this, So fade away back into the abyss, I think it’s silly when young people making fun of the elderly, Stop think about it, tell me what in the hell will we be, We can’t go backwards in time, Unless we are Benjamin Button, maybe Marty McFly, So we’re born, and 80 years go by, To pick a random sample of a unit of time, So at this time, there are two visions ahead, I’m blowin 80 candles, either that or I’m dead, Because there’s no third option, or none I’m aware of, But I am just a human, I just like to compare stuff, That fits inside my tiny little miniature brain, Compared to everything it’s just small it’s insane, They say a wise man knows that he doesn’t know much, Well they say a lot of sayings and a lot of em suck But then I choose to see the truth of that one specifically, The mind is like a funny bone, and sometimes it tickles me, Cause I don’t know, and you don’t know, So we both know, that we don’t know, It’s like that y’all, and a little of this, Take a swim on my stream of consciousness, Like that y’all, like that y’all, In fact ya know it’s like that y’all, It’s like that y’all, like that y’all, The universe fade to black y’all, Cause I don’t know, and you don’t know So we both know, that we don’t know It’s like that y’all, and a little of this, Take a swim on my stream of consciousness Like that y’all, like that y’all, In fact ya know it’s like that y’all, It’s like that y’all, like that y’all, The universe fade to black y’all, Like that y’all, like that y’all, In fact ya know it’s like that y’all, It’s like that y’all, and a little of this, Take a swim in my stream of consciousness

I got a homey who’s a businessman, an honest lad, The type of friend that I would trust with everything I had, He’s a professional, he’s not some type of scallywag, He makes a living hooking people up with smelly bags, Those who know him always love to see his smiling face, He brings the product and they judge it by the smell and taste, And when he visits you he takes you to a higher tier, He’s like a Santa Clause that comes through the entire year, From what I know he never fails to bring amazing chron, Some people roll it, others smoke it out their favorite bong, When I smoke it, yo it’s time to write another song, He’s like a brother who was brought here by another Mom, Another job would never suit him like the one he’s got, He’s like a workaholic, once he starts he never stops, A lot of speculation floats around this kinda biz But here’s the inside scoop, you know my homey is Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, Supplyin people with their vitamins and minerals, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, He’s like a farmer at the market selling vegetables, H to the E to the M to the P, If you ever met him then I’m sure you would agree, A lot of time and energy are pumped into it, A tough job, but somebody gotta do it, He’s only adults, he doesn’t play with little folks, He ain’t about serving kids a little nickel toke, The dirty drugs aren’t the type of thing my buddy serves, He keeps it strictly limited unto the Godly herb, To get involved you gotta know somebody kinda well, You need a reference just to get into the clientele, And his accounts stay neat and tidy for his buddy’s bags, He ain’t the type to drive around and break somebody’s legs, So Stephen Harper, maybe you should simply go relax, And then you’ll have a chance to cash in on the income tax, And understand, all dealers ain’t some deadly mob, You never know it might assist you with your stressful job, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, Supplyin people with their vitamins and minerals, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, He’s like a farmer at the market selling vegetables, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, Don’t confuse him with the guy cooking chemicals, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, He’s just a real dope guy in general, We want our marijuana (Smoke Cheeba Cheeba, smoke Cheeba, Cheeba, Cheeba) We want marijuana (Smoke Cheeba Cheeba, smoke Cheeba, Cheeba, Cheeba) We want our marijuana (Roll that shit, light that shit, smoke it) We want marijuana (Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side) Members of Parliament, can’t you see, That you can’t spell HEMP without the MP, Members of Parliament, agree with me, You can’t spell HEMP without the MP, He’s an Excellent Medical Practitioner, Healing Energy in My Perimeter, You Get High, Even Maybe Peaceful, Help End the Madness Prohibition Needs to Cease for the, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, Supplyin people with their vitamins and minerals, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, He’s like a farmer at the market selling vegetables, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, Don’t confuse him with the guy cooking chemicals, Honorable Ethical Marijuana Professional, He’s just a real dope guy in general

Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? I wrote it in blood and faxed it, you ain’t got that? Yo man, I thought we had a contract, That was the status when we last made contact, I got the feeling that you never done yo job that, You made a big excuse, but I never really bought that, I know you thinking it’s the end, but it’s not that, I’m not illuminati or the army or the mob jack, But tell me in yo deepest thoughts have you thought that, You’re responsible because you did nothing to stop that? Now I gotta break it down with the hot track, Forgivin and forgettin I ain’t trying to drop the bomb jack, I got an eye for injustice so I spot that, Thought I wouldn’t notice never thought I had caught that, You ain’t gotta give yo money or yo props back, Ask me to forget it and it’s done, beef’s off jack, No disrespect, no need to talk back, I just wanna know what happened to the contract, Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? I wrote it in blood and faxed it, you ain’t got that? Hey dude, where’s our contract, This type of thing tends to happen quite a lot Jack, I’m just lookin for the reason or the cause Jack, I wrote it in blood and faxed it you ain’t got that? Ready ready, ya ready? Nah feel, Ready make a contract, ready make deal, Ready, ready, ya better face facts, Why you sign a contract if you won’t act, Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? SoLeo on the mic, you stomp that! We had a deal, you signed on the dotted line, And now it’s time for you to finally reveal, The secret documents ya keeping to yourself, While you creepin like a stealth, I’ll be sweepin through ya shelves, Lay the wrath, as I claim the stash, I could get paid in cash, that only pays for half, Of the balance that you owe for the talents at the show, Valiance is something that you obviously don’t know man, So keep it locked just seal ya mouth, I ain’t even gotta speak cause I can feel ya doubts, So where the (bark) is our contract, different approach, Pressure points being punctured like a clip to a roach, yo Did you not see that blood splattered fax? Ricca’s got my back so there’s no time to relax, Moving in with the suffocating forces, AI, Dishonor the contract and the price you pay is high So where’s our contract? Don’t make me stomp that Squeezing every pretty penny out ya top hat Until you stop that, we’re gonna walk back, Until it’s readily available to cop stacks Ready ready, ya ready? Nah feel, Ready make a contract, ready make deal, Ready, ready, ya better face facts, Why you sign a contract if you won’t act, Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? Hey dude, where’s our contract? Blades of Steel in the house so rock that!

If I had a time machine just like Marty McFly, I’d pick you up next weekend and I’d take you for a ride, Put my foot upon the gas and flip that shit in drive, And just like Huey Lewis girl we’d both go back in time, I’d take you to the 60s and buy you a flower dress, Smoke some 60s reefer as we sat at some protest, I’d take you to the 90s Lolapalooza in the rain, We’d chill out watchin Seinfeld as we master our domain, We’ll visit every decade all you do is pull the lever, Stop in 1950 and say hi to Beaver Cleaver, Take you to the 70s, we’ll both get Disco Fever, Are you a fan of Ricca yet? I’ll make you a believer, When I see you smiling, and I know it’s goin great, I’ll save one special decade for the ending of our date, I’ll take you to the place that I know will drive you crazy, It really all boils down girlfriend, you know I wanna do you in the 80s The 80s, the 80s, the 80s, Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s, I’ll be your sexy lady In the 80s, the 80s In the 1980s I’m gone be the friggin man, I’ll walk around in Jordache and I’ll sing Duran Duran, And once you get a load of me you’ll never be the same, You’ll want me even more than Kirk Cameron or Cory Haim, Like the Beastie Boys, I’ll be rhyming and stealing, I look at you, you look at me, you know we got the feeling, You got that 80s look, and I find you so appealing, The way you’ve got your bangs all teased up to touch the ceiling, Buy a pack of cigarettes and smoke one in the store, Go to the hotel, and then go up to Penthouse floor, You get a bit more comfortable, you’d go and lock the door, Then just like Wayne Gretzky, it’s time for me to score, Put on Kool and the Gang and we’ll have a Celebration, I’ll take a couple Polaroids of our 80s vacation, I’d snap one as we gave the 80s proper consummation, Wrap it in an envelope, send it to Ronald Reagan In the 80s, the 80s, the 80s, Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s, In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s, I’ll be your sexy lady In the 80s, the 80s, Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s, Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s, Wanna go and drive you crazy, the 80s, the 80s, You go and drive me crazy, the 80s, the 80s In the 80s, gonna make you frisky, In my acid wash, how can you resist me, Wanna kiss me, we can do our thing y’all, I can be your personal Molly Ringwald, In the 80s, gonna make you love me, While we’re there, you’ll be steady thinking of me, I’ll drive you crazy like Patrick Swayze, baby, you’re gon be so glad you date me, Hazy shade of winter, not complicated, baby you can do me in the 80s, The 80s, the 80s, Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s, In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s, I’ll make you call me baby In the 80s, the 80s, Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s, Wanna do you in the 80s, the 80s, the 80s, In the back of my Mercedes, the 80s, the 80s, You go and drive me crazy, the 80s, the 80s
