Guru - State Of Clarity (Solar Remix feat Common, Bob James) Lyric Video

My mind blows decisions, at times indecisive

I think about the paradox that life is

Keep my head to the sky

And understand what Christ is

Turn off the news 'cause every

Day is a crisis

Lifeless niggas on the couch weeded out

It's certain types of niggas in

My life I weeded out

I believe in the route of soul before paper

No gold before labor

Truth told with no glaziers

Days are getting darker quick

I was told it was written, I'ma author it

Wanna go the same place that the martyrs went

The black figures on the wall in my apartment

Like LaDainian, y'all, I be charging it

Touching down with the people from my town

It's the Chi that be giving me my ground

Dug in the crates of my

Soul and I found… clarity

Be yourself ayo, just be yourself

So just be yourself c'mon, just be yourself

Be yourself ayo, just be yourself

So just be yourself c'mon, just be yourself

Toiled in the trenches

Faced judges on benches

Betrayed by some that I fed, not to mention

Standing here now in the best condition

Up outta the dirt so I suggest you listen

See, money can't make you or me

Protect my mind with nines 'cause

It shines more than jewelry

Used to do things that weren't too productive

Now I breathe life into mics for your comfort

I see past the groupies and

Golddiggers to fine women

How I'm living? Doing me

And not savagely driven

Taught the game of fortune and fame

So I'm not playing no more

I hold the torch with flames

I've lost and gained at the same time

MC's biting and swagger jacking still

Commit the same crimes

Once you see past the surface

That trash is worthless

With me you get a lasting purpose

Be yourself ayo, just be yourself

So just be yourself c'mon, just be yourself
