Gone in a Trance

First of all I have too many reasons to keep on breathing

It's not the season for Marcus to leave them

in the dark without a beacon of hope

a ray of light from all these flows that I wrote

Don't want to go but I keep going off

Can't ever slow me I'm in motion

I observe all my emotions

Let's have a toast to everything that makes us human

I'm just giving you perspective from my point of view

That's what we do; I mean both you and I

I'm no better, but I'm clever

With these words and these letters

Said they lynched and the murdered

And would stone and behead us

But they never told true origins

Or the importance of ethics

Religious wars in extent

I did Moor research and I went off the deep end

Down the rabbit hole like Alice in wonderland

No more slipping or stumbling

No more bags getting fumbled

No more bragging for a couple a views

This soul food

Get fed and get centered in truth

I'm living proof and so are you

Praise be to allah the one only god

The merciful

Rhymes getting surgical

Like bilateral adrenalectomy

You'd have to dissect it directly

I do this with minimal effort

I'm gone in a trance

I just let go and I let Allah guide

I'm gone in a trance

Reflection is surely the business of I

I'm gone in a trance

I been feeling close connections to God

I'm gone so long

Okay we back again like we had never left

I'm back to getting me a check

I'm breaking necks cuz I'm up next

They be like what is that, what's on his head

This ain't a hat, this is a fez

The way I rap is for the kids

And adults with some intellect

Intelligence is represented

By true artists not these

Gold digging peasants

Who hop on records just so they can get some slave chains

The same reason ye said the slaves stayed by choice

Your favorite rapper is employed

Only difference is he's pimping out his voice

Instead of bagging up some toys

What he kicking is it wisdom or poison

Or simply noise

See my position is clearly cut

I'm raising up to a higher tone

Cut my cell phone service

To resurface, come back closer to perfect

Connect back to my purpose, get to working

Cure all of my hurting

Super hero and the villain what side is being nurtured

It's all about the thoughts we water ones left malnourished

I been tryna find myself, but I don't know what to do

Sometimes I want peace; Sometimes I wanna shoot

Sometimes I want to cheat; Sometimes I tell the truth

Sometimes I'm on my own; Sometimes I'm in a group

Sometimes I'm on my phone; Sometimes I'm in the booth

I can't get away from what these voices be saying

Sometimes I'm fucking bitches other times I be praying

And even with my folks I'm alone with my thoughts

Empty bottles on the floor don't care how much it costs

And I see the worlds lost as I'm taking a glance

I hope I get a chance, but for now

I'm gone in a trance

I just let go and I let Allah guide

I'm gone in a trance

Reflection is surely the business of I

I'm gone in a trance

I been feeling close connections to God

I'm gone so long
