Prose Minded
You've arrived.
You're here.
That moment after you've snapped back into wakefulness. The mirage of dreams from last night evaporates and the rays of sun pour through your curtains.
You've done this before, and it's not the last time.
See, every day is separated into seasons. Morning, Afternoon, Sunset, Night. Our daily actions are camouflaged in those seasons.
Every day is like a ritual. Remain present with each part.
Our ritual is the rhythm of life. Join us, let's take this ride.
The Ritual.
The Ritual.

Rebirth (sunrise)

Prose Minded
Solar rebirth, Beginning of a cycle
I’m a sunshine disciple, Let the sunlight inside you And
Harmonize everything that divides you
Honor what died and Returned to dust, I’m alive but all my Old selves are burning up
Sometimes it’s smooth sailing, Sometimes currents are rough
Caffeine poured in a cup, young, Yearning for earthly love Trust
Energy never diminished, Eyes open up Cause my story’s not finished
In fact I’m on the opening Sentence and my vision’s Replenished
Cause it’s I-deal reading Conditions Yo,
I put myself in a yoga trance Or whip out some old Soul Train Dance*
Whatever leaves the soul of The morning enhanced, Traveling lifespans
I reach out my fingers and Hold the gold horizonIn my hands
Good morning
Good morning (repeat)
Good morning (repeat)
Good morning (repeat)
Hook (Prose Minded)
I’m back but I never left
I only let you rest your eyes, who can deny I
The sunrise what, the sunrise what, the sunrise
(hook repeats)
Chef C
Illuminated clouds calling out with nostalgia
Patient for now scattered light is basking in the outer
Regions, got allegiance with the seeds through dirt as its creeps in
Golden crowns of (the) trees symbolize the degrees
Savor the sky, shadow chasers slowly say their goodbyes*
Fleeting moments but you know that we high
It's all natural vibes, crossing the horizon
Odysseys and cinematography sonically drowning
Vibrant, full of life
We vow to keep it light
With style into the night
We found it now are sights
Are locked on
You've never seen nothing like this
Melted clocks gone
Time's fallen off of the cliff
Hook (Chef C)
I’m back but I never left
I only let you rest your eyes, who can deny I
The sunrise what, the sunrise what, the sunrise
(hook repeats)
Odd Insyte
Finally the dawn upon ya
Last hour was on some drama
Had to set fire to vampires who hate when I shine forward
In Korea they label me calm
In other places I’m napalm gettin drop in Vietnam in the 60s
I rejuvenate the earth, amazing daily rebirth
When I rise in the east, but more beast than a phoenix
I attribute my attributes to the Sun or Jesus, Double Helix
Crucial to the system, when you see me PAY ATTENTION
Hard not to, I got you from the clutch of death’s cousin
Cuz see the second death coming it’ll be the Light that you covet
Soak me in while u can, Folgers in a can wake em up from the slumber
Couldn’t tell a lie like them numbers
I make for interesting summers, coolest part of the day
In the morning winter i’m deadly, freeze a ninja til he breaks
Icicles, not a good time to ride bicycles to high school
Unless u layered send your morning prayers UP!
Send your morning prayers UP!
Send your morning prayers UP!
Hook (Odd Insyte)
I’m back but I never left
I only let you rest your eyes, who can deny I
The sunrise what, the sunrise what, the sunrise

Hook (prose minded)
Not enough time for
The things that I wanna do
Gotta organize and
Think what I’m gonna do
Put on some kicks then hit
Umong avenue*
Get revenue then
Holla at my retinue
(hook repeats)
Odd Insyte
If u can’t take the heat u better find some shaaaaade
Strange folk, bleaching skin like ghost, avoid the sun locked at home, the colonised mind state*
The darker the skin, the harder chances of getting paaaaaid
Mentality of the slave, getting buried in a grave, man look at all the mess that I made,
Shit it’s time we celebraaate
Until i’m laid to rest, calling a spade a spade no less
Draped in bathing ape i’m blessed
Living life in abundance, just shining like how the sun is
0-100 i’m keeping a steady pace
I’ll be damned if u see me running in this rat race
I see the glass half full cuz i’m always half-baked
God, bless the vape pen to help me see thru fake men
Then light a fire under they ass, no cave men
Hook (prose minded)

Prose Minded
Eat something now
Then I grab a bite for later
If you ask me now I forget
What I paid ‘em
If you wanna swipe gotta
Pick up some more data
Whether I’m in Chiang Mai
Or maybe in Decatur
Looking for a honey dip
Who likes David Deida*
Laughing at situations I instigated
No time to waste man daylight’s
Just slippin!
Some miss their chances ‘cause
Of indifference
Gotta put my phone down I know this
Shit’s listening
Carolina certified cosmic
Rhyme wrecker
Navigating space time causing
Star fractures
Earth spinning fast but my
Mind’s moving faster
Anime colorway
Re-watching Black Panther*
See weeks in a flash but
They never lose their luster
Clouds in the sky lined with
Diamond clusters
So just bust it, so just bust it
Hook (prose minded)
Not enough time for

Chef C
Never enough time
But we shine with seasons
The daily grind
Reach for the state of mind of that feeds it
A feast or a freedom leap
Either way you see it
Gotta hit the ground running
With perspectives you believe in
Relive it and give it your all
Every day is occasion to call
On your inner self and walk
Down the path of your passions
Packed with soulful interaction
So that when looking back and asking
These questions of life
You can revisit these classics
And know (for a fact) that it was mastered
No need to look at the stats
Cause ya weaved it in the fabrics
It's become a part of your cosmic fashion
A confluence of contact(s)
A contract with the Ritual acts
Running laps everlastin’
So we breath deep and release stress
Ready for a repeat indeed we blessed
Say yes
Hook (prose minded)
Not enough time for
The things that I wanna do

Reflect (sunset)
03:57

Odd Insyte
Rally up, gather round, snap a photo
The fact I made it to the sunset, kinda loco
So-called homies been acting phony since the sun rose
Plus couple of hoes trying to bribe me real cut throat
Quick, karma hurry come get em
Fore they think carpe diem
It’s what I get for wasting time sliding in their DMs
I wanna call the shots like a boss be the GM
And trade all you clowns and the wild visions you seeing
Been styling on em since a pre-teen for good reason
It seems to be smoky mirror season
Like picturesque sunset got you in your feelings
Before the sun starts dimming yo..check your mission
Before the darkness settles in check ya lamps for trimming
Something tells me I’ll be among the last ones left
U can have the shine I’m fine with the sunset
I said U can have the shine I’m fine with the sunset
Word
Chef C
Our sunsets symbolize success
Synergized inner fire with the sky’s complexion
See her face every day like she’s painted in waves of reddish hues
Well amused by the moves that she makes / plays
A gradient shapes time, we take time for granted
Irradiant lifeline see grapevines imagined
Great lines and passionate takes shine a beautiful light
We In the darkest of nights climaxin'
Looking at fate as she awakens
Raising her rays to the occasion
a dazzling constellation’
Set the entire scene with a vibrant conversation
And a saturated balcony full of green patience
Kicked back on the mezzanine as we based in
Collective energy and memories ancient
Reflect on the message in her rays well invested in the moment
Pay respect to day and its presence
Prose Minded
By day I’m a slick talker
The sky dims and I turn
Into a skinwalker
Shimmering thru hell fire
And windy harbors
If i’m audible I’m ardent
This turning planet I’m on it
Verbal stereophonics
Kids aiming semi automatics
At Targets
And they probably copped ‘em
At Targets
I’m coppin' alchemist tonics
‘Cause love is a language and
I’m hooked on her phonics
Another S-U-N-S-E-T
Celebrating my spirit
Trapped in biology
Severed from knowledge
searching for that skeleton key
*clears throat*
America what you sellin' to me?
What you sellin' to me?
I don’t need society telling me
How I’m supposed to be
Saw the face of God, it’s
Made of pearls and serendipity
Why democracy gotta be made
From the blood of kids in the
Middle East?
The light fades and the veil thins
Thinking back to the banks my
Forebears sailed in
Promises mailed in
Let’s start a new chapter
As history’s world ends

Remember (nighttime)
04:08
|

Prose Minded
Speaking truth to power, I’m down for all of it
Honoring ancestors, I’m down for all of it
Showing self love, I’m down for all of it
Showing you love, I’m down for all of it
I’m down for all of it
I remember all of it
Plane rides when I was a
Kid hopping continents
Got sick in Shanghai but
Stayed focused on the positives
Lebanon, Hezbollah guards*
Tried to stop us from crossing in
This was before the
‘07 Israeli bombing
They let us, see Roman ruins
Without comment
Midnight peels the shroud
Because this is the time memory
Starts to crowd
Speaking these stories out loud
I know my night owls know
What I’m talking about
And my 80s babies go ‘head
Walk it out
Way before I
Ever opened a text I had
Stankonia on a cassette*
Now I’m an author, go ‘head
Open the text
I wish, JFK had rolled in a vest
I wish, they hadn’t put Pocahontas
In a Victorian dress
I’m, Kierkegaard in a Mitchell &*
Ness keeping all these old
Memories fresh
Chef C
Now It’s time for the contrast
A full circle time lapse
Shadows engulf the past
Sparse light interaction
I know you’ll always be right there with open arms
Ready to embrace the fate of tomorrow and how it evolves
You keep it cool, collected, and calm
You keep your shades drawn
So that we can ride dream waves on
To greener pastures where the days yawn
A relaxed state way beyond
The fake mainstream, we beam as modern day vagabonds
Cosmic waves repeat as long you stand by me
Cosmic waves repeat as long you stand by me
Raisin' standards as we raisin' the frequencies
Come on dream with me
Come on beam with these
Twilights that highlight divine life
Open ya third eye and get supported when ya shine bright
Remember these mics
Remember these emcees on the your darkest of nights
Remember Rituals and keep it righteous
Odd Insyte
Did ya’ll prepare for the absence of light?
To the point where u can navigate through the maze of the night? with no night Vision, just the intuition provoked
Cuz no joke it's been getting dark as the dark ages
But instead of bars and cages they got us running in the matrix, consider this a Sifting of sorts cuz if they hate us
Then we press system abort with no debating
I’m lifting the torch, just trying to put ya’ll on to the basics
With the nighttime i got a love and hate relationship
I love my bed but I can’t escape thoughts in my head
Which are just prayers I should’ve said, am I spiritually dead?
SOS, cuz sleep is the cousin of death
Man i’m tired, but i stay woke, to the silence pay close
Attention, hoping for a message from a higher dimension
I pray the truth is what i’m repping,
Keep your soul close as the stars are to the heavens
