Jalal Salaam - Lotuses lyrics

Lotuses For em My form Is foreign You fortunate if You last And don't forfeit You're pa**ionate That's important I bridge the gap and Let you across it Cross me hang Martyrs on crosses They die come Back To be prophets Lines Get crossed very often Many seasons I've blossomed Images tarnished All my visions I harnessed Admonished foes Mind sharpened God threw the stone I stay polished That's why we have knowledge To grow I'm still Unfolding Coming Into my own Emerge from water When the suns out Like the lotus flower In the morning With the dew in the wee hours I smell fear That's how I see cowards What's the height let me tower Above it No amount I couldn't fly by What's as high At this moment ? I'm on another tip Past lives All the sufferings not a punishment I blossom and float Balance my doshas Slim pickings for vultures Pyramids I made with my hands Molded from scratch They stood for ages right Ou T of the sand How many grains Is like Lives I've had The desert makes no One a friend Mirages in every location But somewhere hidden There is an oasis They wonder To this day How they were created Lotuses for them
