Intro 01:13
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.

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 repeats)

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) 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) 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 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) 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 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 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

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
