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

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

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
