Gratitude (Intro)

Gratitude, gratitude
That’ll do, yeah
Gratitude, unh
Yeah, just warming up
Here to give a gentle nudge cuz the norm is stuck
Y’all walking 'round town like some armored trucks
We all know you bout yo bills, you enormous ducks
But Ima waddle wit you
Show you what a thought’ll get you
And why you kinda sorta pop
Wit these bottled issues
Living in the world of not
When that's not an issue
But by the end of this thing
You'll feel like God kissed you
Gratitude, gratitude, yeah
It’s only gratitude at this latitude
And my attitude is never mad at you
it’s the opposite
You can be about yo dough man
I ain’t knocking it
The same about ya goals
I ain’t stopping it
I’m happy wit vanillas and the chocolates
The prophets and the profitless
Illusioned and the consciousness
The few and the populace
Hold up
Let's get it popping miss
People say they wanna live and give
What you waiting for
You just lived today yesterday
What you waking for
Shattering your own dreams
I mean what you break em for
But Ima find you and Ima heal you
What's this Taken 4, unh
As you figured this a make-a-difference album
And it's no jerking you around, watch the outcome, man
It's a lot looking for a savior, well I'll come, yeah
And you'll see that there's a whole lot where I'm from
But we'll get to that
I got a hit for that
This just to neutralize your mind for what we getting at
Or where we getting to
And where I'm coming from
And why you seeing two
When there's only one

Can't believe in what I been believing

You're afraid to do well
For right now, you're in hell, man

Let Go
03:13
|
|||
Why you holding on
You don't need that
They just feeding BS super strong
You don't eat that
They telling you that you is on your own
You believe that
You get everything you ever want
You can see that
But you feeling stripped cuz yo grip gripped tight
Now that grip is a fist, all you wanna do is fight
So your work don't work and your worth won't rise
You think you just 'bout your money, but you want what it can't buy
You can never sit alone cuz them voices so live
But you always on your own cuz you pushed 'em all aside
At least that's what you see when you look through closed eyes
Having a bad past contest like you 'bout to win a prize, like
I had it worse, no I had it worse
Naw man, I had it worse
Ummmm
Let go
You only scared cuz they told you you should be
You only there cuz they told you they would be
Why don't you care at what I told you you could be
Why you prepared for everywhere but where the good be
Yo life is like what you know you not gone like
But you must like it cuz you recite it every night like it's on mics
It's like you chained to what you foster
It's like yo brain is your impostor
It's like you glory in your story like your pain's your badge of honor
Let go
Why do you stay here
Let's go
Why do you play here
Let's grow
Why do you not do you
Instead dwell in the hell that you lived through
Uh, that's old
Remember, only the weak have enemies
And the strong have inner peace
Only the weak have enemies
and the strong have inner peace
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go, ay ay
What you holding on to
Guilt, pain, shame man that's what you don't do, naw
Ay, what you holding on for
Is pain what you wanna be known for
Man
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go
Ay, thinking that you woke but you still tired
Wanting God to take the wheel but you still drive
With yo half full glasses are you still blind
Yeah you look good but do you feel fine, ay
Yeah you look good but do you feel mine
It's yours, nothing is forced
Making these judgments 'bout life, who's your source
Feeling all mighty now you're like, ooh Lord
I need a victory
But let me ask you
Who are you without your history
Man
Everything is, nothing was
Created by, with, and for love
One more time
Everything is, nothing was
Created by, with, and for love
Let go

Cuz maybe I like you that way
Baby I like you that way

And if you do change then it's cool cuz you cool
But it's strange when you ain't, so baby be cool
You prolly saying
He don't understand how the world work
He don't understand how this world hurt
He don't understand what the truth is
He don't understand cuz he stupid
You just putting your faith in the wrong things
You got everything you want but it's the wrong things
In other words, to find yourself
You gotta get outside yourself
It ain't about you, shoot, it ain't about me
Why you looking like that, ain't that what you believe
But when it comes to executing, you don't wanna see
And that's what I'm doing, telling you to just be

I just need you and you to really know
That you’re the main reason that I do this for
I just can’t do this without you
You’re the space beneath the wind when the wind blows
I used to think that I was all alone
No one who could understand
How we could preach peace
And then abort the plan
Tryna get some one ups for the upper hand
We simply fingers fightin on the same hand
One down, that means the load increases
That means we get instructions down in pieces
That means ridding of the weak is a weakness
That means normalcy is in incompleteness
Then it's repeated, more fall down
The one that thinks it's weakest chose to bow down
Now, I'm like all that remains
From yo P.O.V, it's middle finger to the game
I just need you and you to really know
That you’re the main reason that I do this for
You are the reason
I just can’t do this without you
You’re the space beneath the wind when the wind blows
I used to think that there were toxic people
Ruining my moods
But light shines away the dark
That can't be confused
Light shines away the dark
What remains is true
So how could he ever be negative to you
And how could she never be bettering your view
Cuz light reflects light
So that negative is you
That means keep yo shine on
And you can lead the blind home
Instead of cut em off
Where you lost like a mind gone, ay
But it's real though
Faking like we arrogant
What's the point of gifts if ain't no one to share it with
Scared of humanity we treat em like some terrorists
Sharing insanity we treat it with some therapists
But do they have the cure
Or is their view obscure
We share what we want to keep alive
Why endure
When we could let it die
As we remain pure
Our perception is what birthed it anyway
I'm so sure
"You so sure"
I'm so sure
You think you know the future
"I don't wanna do that, cuz this gone happen"
Let me mute ya
We all trying to give you these blessings
But then you shoot the
Messenger, second guessing us
Just to suit ya
Only you can bring to this world what it needs
Let your heart be the guide that you follow as it leads
Conflict was your mind's pick, so don't be sad when it leaves
Cuz as you breathe it's of you and into me
And into you, becomes of me
I just need you and you to really know
That you’re the main reason that I do this for
You are the reason that I
I just can’t do this without you
I just can’t
I just can't
You’re the space beneath the wind when the wind blows
You're my everything
Some you win some you fall,
You're my every spring
So that whenever that you call, I'm there for every ring
And I'm thankful for it all, that each every brings

So if you're thinking about the worst possible outcome
You're praying to God
Or you're praying to the universe
Or you're praying to whoever you pray to
That you want this to happen
You want this to come to fruition
Because you're focusing on it
All your attention through your heart and soul
Through your mind and body and spirit
That you feel it
That you feel it manifesting right now
You feel it happening right now
Even though it's not happening right now
Even though it might not even happen
But you're bringing it into that existence
And change yo thoughts bro

And let go of external distractions
Take a deep breath in
Filling your lungs with air
And holding it for just a few moments
Breathe out
Releasing any negativity, stress, anxieties
Or worries that you have been holding onto
Continue to breathe deeply
Focusing only on your breath
And being fully present in this moment
Continue breathing

And the slow in and out of your breath
Signifies life
Continue breathing
Continue breathing

You are at peace

Bro I need, I need to be on that song bro
Send me the instrumental now bro
Ooh ooh
Bro, bro
Hold on, what is it you want to rap about
Bro, I’m following yo lead bro
I’m rapping about the truth
It’s so, bro, the government bro
Like right now bro
Wait, lemme
Bro, people need to know this stuff bro
It’s…the oppression, the poverty, the 1% bro
They don’t be sharing their money br-bro
The, it’s a reptilian ra—, ah
Y’all not ready for that bro, they not
I don’t know, bro
Whew
Ooh bro
Hold on
You're saying a lot right now
Gather yourself
Let’s take a step back
What are your thoughts on God
Bro don’t get me started on religion bro
In the bible, bro it’s not what you think it is bro
It’s not
Whoa, I just wanted to know your thoughts about God
Not necessarily the bible or religion
We can get to that
We can talk about that later
But right now, I’m just, just just God
Just only God
Bro I believe in God bro
He made all of this
I got, I got mad respect bro
I got the upmost respect for the Lord bro
I got the upmost respect for the Lord, drop a beat
I got the upmost respect for the Lord bro
I say the upmost respect for the Lord, bro
That’s good to hear
So do you think He’s weak or stupid
Bro, blasphemy bro
How can you ask, bro
What, you you, bro the lighting strike finna get you
I’m not standing by, bro
How could you even say some, bro
On our Lord bro
On our Lord
Forgive him Father bro, uhh
Forgive him he knows not what he do, bro
Nah, I’m asking because you seem to have a problem with a lot of things
And if God is the Creator of all
Then you must have a problem with God
Bro, I don’t have no problem with God bro
Why you trying to start, bro
He got
God got a problem with all this madness going on right around here bro
All of this bro
I, I know this bro
Well that’s what I mean
You seem to think that God can create something that can anger him
Or destroy what he created
Without his say so
You have little faith in God
Bro, no bro
Bro
Man is corrupt
Th, look
You can just see
How can you not see that bro
So God messed up when He created man
Well yeah bro, the the bible
Wait I thought the bible wasn't
Bro I see what you trying, that’s not, look
Since the beginning of time bro
Man has fought
They have killed
They have
They have done unspeakable acts bro
And
Wait wait wait, you’re going from topic to topic
Since the beginning of time
That means God exists outside of time, right
Yeah bro
So if God doesn’t care about time
Why do you
Because bro
It’s, what, we not even

Time (feat. Kasy Red)

Time
All I need
All I need
Is just a little time
All I need
Why we so worried bout time
We want it right now, we don't we wanna waste
Say we too busy, we don't wanna make time
But we'll have everything if we just take
I need I need
Why we so worried bout time
We want it right now, we don't we wanna waste time
Say we too busy, we don't wanna make time
But we'll have everything if we just take time
Hold up hold up hold up
Why we so worried bout time
We want it right now, we don't we wanna waste a bit of time
Say we too busy, we don't wanna make time
But we'll have everything if we just take time
I saw a 30 yold say, it's just too late to start
I saw a 40 yold say, it's just too late to start
I saw a 50 yold say, it's just too late to start
I saw a 60 yold make it, it wasn't no old in his heart
He had gold in his heart and he shared it
He served a million people and they squared it
Making mo' money then he carried
He said that everything wasn't scary
It was his imagination making him very
Stagnant, the fabric of the fragments
Making us see fractions
When we part of the whole wit the w
Not the one without that troubles you
You make time, time doesn’t make you, ay
Time flies when you’re doing what you want to
But it’s so slow when you ain't doing what you s'posed to
Why give time time, man, yo that’s on you
Are you serving time or is time serving you?
Why we so worried bout time
We want it right now, we don't we wanna waste time
Say we too busy, we don't wanna make time
But we'll have everything if we just take time
Hold up hold up hold up
Why we so worried bout time
We want it right now, we don't we wanna waste a bit of time
Say we too busy, we don't wanna make time
But we'll have everything if we just take time
Time is an illusion
A conclusion came to through dissolution
Its delusions causes all of our movements
We make it our god, we call it an improvement
A false idol, unproven
Bringing fear, angst, and confusion
Don’t confuse us Clay
Confucius say
Study the past if you would define the future days
So it’s you who defines all the future days
And that puts you in a box, locked
Caged by your interpretation of what was never lost, lots
Like a pile of sought
No like seeking
By defining your wants
You created a lack, a leaking
And time fills the gaps, linking
You to what you were never separated from, a re-synching
Now all of this you’re re-thinking, great
Forget what you think you know, because time is space
Why we so worried bout time
We want it right now, we don't we wanna waste time
Say we too busy, we don't wanna make time
But we'll have everything if we just take time
Hold up hold up hold up
All I need
All I need
Oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
All I need
All I need is just a little time
A little time
A little time
Just a little bit of time
Just a little bit of time
Just a little bit of time
Hmmm
Whoo, yeah
Just a little bit of time
Ohh
Time

Unh, I know what Kanye meant
Everything that I have shared has been a monye-ment
To the things that I had faith in
So my fears were some things that I had faith in
My bad God
Was looking out for the devil, but I'm at large
Ay, seek and you shall find, no wonder I'm at odds
I got exactly what I asked for, through my actions
Witnesses to my beliefs like “I told you it'll happen"
Ay, itt's time we get the lesson
We all looking for love, but we looking in depressions
We all looking for love, cuz we think it's a possession
We all looking for love, but it's simply an expression
Ay
There's no time
It's alright, yeah
You got worries, huh huh
It's alright, yeah
Not right now, unh
It's alright
Cuz when you ready

Ay, I feel ya
I been to where you are, you stuck in the familiar

You holding on strong to what can kill ya
Like it's yo healer
Hold up
I ain't passin no verdicts
But you got plenty attendants and you passing up service
Cuz they got yo back when yo back turned
But you stacked 'em on yo backburn
And then you act burned
Hold up
Ay stop and take a breath
You can have what's yours, not try to take what is left
Letting go is not the same as giving up
Life is creation so literally I give a, hold up

Take It Higher
03:55
|
|||
Ay, can you hear me
No, can you HEAR me
The sun shines every single day
And I know exactly where it stays
So ima take it higher
Take it higher
Ima take it higher
Take it higher
Yeah yeah
People think somebody gotta lose
Ima show you never have to choose
So ima take em higher
Take em higher, ay
Ima take em higher
Take em higher, ay
Yeah
I had a dream of an awakened state
We all make corrections, we don't make mistakes
We are light reflected so we always safe
What we see as death is just a change in space
What we see as death is just a shadow or
An illusion, confusion, believed lore
A belief in time, is to be lived in poor
Since truth is timeless, life is yours
Death cannot exist without life
Death cannot exist within life
So death cannot exist, right
So never shall I give it my light
Never shall I give it my life
So why do we believe in sacrifice
Like what age do you really start dying
Let's just start living, stop trying
Ay, the sun shines every single day
And I know exactly where it stays
So ima take it higher
Take it higher, ay
Ima take it higher
Take it higher, ay
Yeah
People think somebody gotta lose
Ima show you never have to choose
So ima take em higher
Take em higher, ay
Ima take em higher
Take em higher, yeah
Ay
Never have I ever, uh
Never have I ever been wronged
Never will I ever, uh
Never could I ever be alone
I can see in heaven when I'm fully present
Can't take my possessions now I get the lesson
I can't take my past cuz it's not here
I just gotta laugh cuz I'm right here
Ha, I just had to dwell on it
Every single second holds a special moment
But we make each moment hold a lifetime
Being covered makes it hard to see our light shine
Let the kids show us, happy go getters
Then we pass down fear sayin we know better
Every morning sending kids to the teachers
But God keeps sending the kids to teach us, unh
The sun shines every single day
And I know exactly where it stays
So ima take it higher
Take it higher, ay
Ima take it higher
Take it higher, ay
Yeah
People think somebody gotta lose
Ima show you never have to choose
So ima take em higher
Take em higher, ay
Ima take em higher
Take em higher, ay
Yeah
I never met a bad person ever
What you show is my reflection and I'm grateful forever
We seek witnesses to our thoughts
So if I think you out to get me you just giving me what I bought
And you perceive me as past transgressions
So you never see me, you see past heaven
So you never see me or even anything
Stuck in a world made up of dreamed dreams
But we all wake up when it's time to
And that's my single purpose it's to remind you
Of what you are not what you will be or was
Of what you are
You are, hush
And that will never change
Even when you let go of who you think you are, you remain
You are formless, you were never born
Ideas were born out of you, never worship the form
And that will never change
Even when you let go of who you think you are, you remain
You are formless, you were never born
Ideas were born out of you, never worship the form

Forgiveness
03:14
|
|||
There's a healing going on
There’s a healing, there’s a healing going on
Ay
Let’s talk
Let’s talk about forgiveness
I know we hear it get thrown around a lot
People like, “Man, I'll I’ll forgive, but I ain’t gone forget”
And then you hold it against the person
For however long you you see ‘em
It’s something you want
But you’re not willing to give it yourself
And you wonder why you feel so divided
Or or alone or by yourself
It’s kinda like, hol up I I got you I got you
You let a whole lot of things bother you
You let them same things go and coddle you
You let a whole lot of strings model you
And you let a whole team of gods father you
Let's talk the god of time
Let's talk the god of money
You talk God all the time
But yo gods don't seem abundant
The one that makes peace can't lack it
Value isn't in the money but the person that backs it
Ain't nobody going out they way to see you fall
And if they do, they just furthering in in yo cause
So why you hate these haters that don't hate at all
They just showing you the you to use that could evolve
So now you wanna toss
And now you wanna floss
Slave to these haters
Cuz you trying to prove em false
Yet, hate cannot be real, when everything is love
So why don't you be real, because you are beloved, ay ay ay
It’s like
It’s like you you you, you’re caught in this circle of karma
This karma circle
And you’re trying to balance the scales yourself
And then you’re perpetuating more karma on yourself
For what you did to try to balance
When you can, you can just neutralize it completely
Every time you judge
You cut in half
Half that makes you happy
Half that makes you sad
The more judgements you finish
Percentage diminished
Of what will bring you joy and always keep you grinning
So now you in a box mad at yo limits
Unaware that this world was made in your image
Trying the play the role that karma plays
That's the only role that your armor plays, man
Forgive and rejoin what was separated
Observe a sinless world that is regulated
By your thoughts and beliefs
For example paying attention to tension gets you no relief
What you focus on will expand
Focus on forgiveness and forgiven you will stand
I know you've tried it all and you know this to be true
But once you've forgiven them, you can forgive you, ay ay ay
And there’s a reason why
No matter how strong of a person you feel you are
You, you look for the validation in others
Or you look for someone to kinda mend that, that emptiness
But the truth is we were all meant to be together
Every person is your people, every person
This, this whole thing is a learning experience and
And we make errors in judgment
And we want to be forgive for those
Like we don’t want that held against us every interaction
So forgive
I mean it don’t matter anyway
I am nobody
I am someone
