Jalal Salaam - Observe lyrics

Take a breath Observe your surroundings Pay attention Everything's connected Life is so ephemeral but so eventful Geometries in a flower petal Dichotomies oh dichotomies! I find refuge back in my breathing Results bare more repeating Halt an onslaught Carry their karma Salt of the earth All these seeds I feel like a farmer Oh how I love to garden Guard the sacred from the Profaneness Still both are related I got a mind like a monkey I'm just trying to tame it Even the bear climbs the tree To get a piece of the honey He doesn't care about The bee stings He's just trying To eat things Not all of them are Cuddly You are what you eat And who you keep In your company Everyone wants the money But they don't want to work daily I just want to feed my family Suffering deserves much respect Still both pain and pleasure are temporary Nothing lasts it's like a fleeting memory Everything runs on energy What's a friend without some enemies? My best opponent helped Me more then anyone of my homies He taught me what's really important What's intrinsic And doesn't rely on something to begin with ? What's melanin without The lack of pigment ? They attached but steady act distant Keep focused Turn the poison into potent medicine That's ultimate perfection Take a breathe Observe your surroundings Pay all your attention
