Lyrics:
Light as a feather
When I'm floatin' through
Readin' through the daily news
Measurin' the hurt within the golden rule
Centimetres of ether
I'm heatin' the speaker
Motivational teacher
With words that burn people
Seein' the headlines
Lined with discord
It's either genocide
Or the planet in uproar
Never good
But rules of paradise are never nice
The best laid plan
Of mice and men are never right
I'm just a vagabond
With flowers for algernon
The average joe
Who knows what the fuck is goin' on
It's the hope of my thoughts
That I travelled upon
Fly like an arrow of God
Until I'm gone
So I'm driftin' away
Like a feather in air
Lettin' my words take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keepin' it vertical
Forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator
To the somethin' that is greater
So I'm driftin' away
Like a feather in air
Lettin' my soul take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keepin' it vertical
Forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator
To the somethin' that is greater
Takin' chances
Word tap dancin' with wolves
In an ice arena out there
Deep in the woods of arizona
The sun be high
Life's ironic
Ain't tryin' to be Talib
When I write, surreal life
I paint it vivid
Habitat crazy insane
Watch the propaganda 6 o'clock news
That are saying:
Cultures clash
For black folk and white trash
They revel in the cyberspace
That might crash

Lyrics:
Dash to millineum
A million miles of runnin'
At the speed of now back
Don't return gunnin'
Rambo style
Gung ho child gunnin'
Ammo blao two times
Loud stunnin'
When I hit ya
Lift you off the earth like
Ayo take you right back to birth
And niggas wonder why
They might wonder why
This shit might happen
But it does, they go
Driftin' away
Like a feather in air
Lettin' my words take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keepin' it vertical
Forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator
To the somethin' that is greater
So I'm driftin' away
Like a feather in air
Lettin' my soul take me away
From the hurt and despair
So I'm keepin' it vertical
Forever elevator
Ridin' the escalator
To the somethin' that is greater
Treat you better than me
Because that's the heavenly key
To unlock the inner strength
Where my essence will be
It's the
Knowledge of self
Understanding of the things around me
That becomes the wisdom that I need
Livin' this life
To the best of my ability
Channellin' energy to my thoughts
Into your symmetry
Remember me
Because my clothes remain gold
I got the gift of gab
Like them pimps in kangols
It never ends
I keep it rulin' like a cypher
The first caveman
Bringin' fire
Innovating and higher
To blast mistakes I raise the stakes
It's double or nothing
In this vacuum-less space
I will survive
Divine the time to cry
Fuck a hold or hide
I'm alive with pride
And I drove the Chevy
To the levy
But the levy was dry, singing:
"This will be the day that I die"
