[Verse 1]
Cuban in hand while I'm delving into a deep contemplation
Improve my plans for freedom and world emancipation
I'm just trying to escape the strain and pain of day
While my third eye gapes at the way the smoke plays
And it displays
This elegance that bares so much more relevance than before
It seems to momentarily restore
My sanity
I keep my faith in humanity
Observations of nature take ya away from the calamity
And humanity's meaning is embedded and seen in
The shrouds of clouds and theirs complex swirls
I decipher the life i have, in this next world
This unsaturated consciously activated realm
Where nothing buy myself is impacting myself
This anti-blind state of mind an*lysing mankind
Requires dire relaxation
Be it a spliff or cuban this is deep contemplation
[Chorus]
Just kick back and relax
Listen to your favourite musician on wax
Read your favourite books or some of the facts
Just kick back contemplate and relax
(repeated)
[Verse 2]
Now I'm deep in relaxation but I'm keepin concetration
I'm decreasing the pace and no longer demons I'm facing
My heart was racing until I started gazing
On the beauty of the spirit: a land that could never be pillaged
And it's filling with this smell, an absence of fear in ya
The smell caresses my nostril interior
Re-living the moments that lacked any opponents
The places I have grown in, the tales that I have told and
The people that I have known and
The happy memories play out in front of me
Their longevity is infinite so I know I'm gonna be
Smiling through the pain, the turmoil in my brain
Without this contemplation, man, I'd go insane
One time for my philosophers, thinkers and introverts
Keep smiling even though it hurts
Keep smiling even though it hurts
[Chorus]
I gaze upon the heavens and witness divine thunder
Lightning strikes my brain and i let my mind wander
This time under
An apple tree like the story of Newton
Differentiating between fact and fiction-my conclusion:
Is the eye of the beholder is the molder
The flame scolds one man and makes another colder
As i get older
I question what I thought yesterday
an*lysing every detail in every way
Getting mad artistic when I was spliff'ed
But now meditation gets me lifted
The sickest thoughts still grab my attention
No longer in depression but they are now my obsession
Think about the distribution of wealth
Think about my own contribution myself
The subjectivity of ethics
The arbitrary symbols we've elected by race to interpret perception
How they can differ from one man to another
Perfection lies in works of Bob Marley (Bob Marley) Peter Tosh (the wailers) Herman Hesse
2Pac, Richard Feynman (Schrodinger alleviate the stress
Chakras energised by various orators: Krishnamurti
Herodutus and Ivan van Sertima, certain to
Open my eyes to African civilisation
I'm feeling Jim Al Khalili, Einstein, Pilger and Akala's tunes
Nasir Jones, Shakespeare...
