KING KONCEPTS Ever since I got that little once important slip of paper In a leather case and it seems that I been racing The clock, to finish everything before I embark on a journey All I wanna do is go back to the park The place in my mind where I can find A form of peace amidst war like times And I'm- About to crack my bags ain't even packed But it feels like I'm trapped in a destiny That's ultimately wack All I can do is enjoy the last thirty days But its hard for me to feel the sun's rays When I'm not even sure it'll be out tomorrow And I gotta follow a road leading to sorrow Cuz I can see the imminent destruction of my life Ponderance lines the night As I sit here and write Something right and true, but if you only knew A lot can happen between August and June And boom, another friend is down I paid dues for four years and now I ask myself how Can I give up all I love forever? Almost lost my girl last night, I know I gotta act betta In stay high to avoid the lies Cuz I don't even wanna die but- CHORUS I gotta stay alive Cuz the only one I got in this world is my tribe Will you take heed to what's said Or march to the fire with the rest of the dead One foot on the plane and I knew something was wrong So I relied on the bomb to keep me calm I had smoked a blunt facial before So with my carry on's I went though the door Found my seat and turned on my walkman and fell out Woke up to the sound of a voice talking bout "Buckle ya seat we're in a rough patch of air" "we're all the way up here and its a long fall to down there" No fear until the yellow mask appeared Saying "breathe" I can't leave this world What about my girls, seeds to be planted I don't want the reality of hitting the planet Untimely man its not a fair trade SO I pray to Allah for Tariq to be saved Grab my neighbor's gla** of vodka I don't want to be sober when I die Out of the corner of my eye, a sankofa bird in the sky \But it can't reach me until its too late I see my fate why can't I think of an escape? A new patch to create cuz I'm in a free fall Gotta deal with reality's call CHORUS Seven feet from the ground its profound The sankofa came around And dragged me out of the mound Of rubble like a bubble rose to the top And then sipped but didn't drop A shot of light went by I grabbed it It was a thought- Maybe it was a prayer that saved me from being vcaught Maybe not but I was brought by the bird to the ocean He let me go but somehow I stayed floating With a blessing from God now its gonna be hard To get back to shore but I got four Incense sticks each possessing a different property To help me maintain in New York properly Talk to me "use them weisely" said the bird "Avatars never die using the words of God" Now I question will I learn my life's lesson Or just burn like a session CHORUS
