TAO Pt 1

(Get in touch)

—In other words

I'm from Mother Earth

but Im otherwordly

Every other word is murder

If Mr Wonder heard me

He'd say he's the new Miles

A younger Bird

Another Herbie

My mother's Mavis

Pops is Pops

And my drummer's Purdie

That's lineage

My blood is dirty

That's word to my brother

Like that brother Curry

Of the jersey with number 30

You up in church

when I utter verses

Of love and mercy

The ushers worship

and start twerking

With the other clergy

I'm battled tested

But was never that aggressive

Even as an adolescent

I would rather have a message

But man alive

The whole game's been sanitized

Damn what we done to the young

Is like infanticide

infantilized

the dumbed-down get amplified

Via algorithms that's anything but randomized

I cant abide

While these lies keep confusing things

They use ephemisms

to lose the meaning of human beings

We know we're old souls

They call us new machines

What they call enhanced reality's

a lucid dream

Literally remove the screen

And you'll see thru the schemes

The stupid memes we consume

Keep us too serene

I love to laugh too but

It's too much

What we lose

In our addiction

to these cool new drugs

We relax then detach then

we straight lose touch

With everything

and thats when at the last we lose us
