Sintax.The.Terrific - A Mantra to Breathe To lyrics

[Verse 1] Gimme a poem and I'll dream it A song and I'll believe it A mantra, son I'll be it Broken promise and I'll complete it Yo, inspire your crew to be kind before they're fresh Inspire yourself to behave, selfless Inspire your mom to buy the latest Blackalicious Go shopping with her friends and make your dad wash the dishes Inspire the mis-dressed to be chased before the Lord Inspire your homies to get married before they score Inspire not the score, inspire to make love Inspire the party people to find reasons not to club Inspire a doctor to treat the soul and not the body Inspire your daughter to be a woman and not a hottie Inspire a new hobby; learn a trade to teach your kids The work of your hand, yo, that's a Godly gift to give Inspire a cop to do justice and not his duty Inspire your kids to read the book before the movie Inspire your own movie, live a life worth sharing Courage is simply an average man's deeds made daring Inspire a house to be a home and not a hotel Where families shoot the breeze and hope to know each other well Inspire a wishing well to meet our needs and not our wants Inspire hard rock to keep its teeth and lose its fronts [Hook] Inspire your foe, inspire your friend Inspire complete strangers, inspire your kin We either make this world better or we're making it worse So bless with your life, for whatever it's worth [Bridge] Meditate fast, celebrate solitude Discipline your life before your life runs you Meditate fast, celebrate solitude Discipline your life before your life runs you [Verse 2] I walked with God in the garden and it was good Not a word spoken, our feelings were understood I asked him to part the night sky ceiling if he could He laughed at my impatience, but then he said he would Then peel back the dark black steel trap space Top hat that the planet tips flat to hide her face Pulls a puff of cloud plume, to dimple her disgrace The raindrop tears of her pain we love to taste I'm making simple moves like a thimble full of water While this paper house burns I question why I even bother Before the earth took her frame, You knew my very name You loved my every hope, You mourned my every shame But made me just the same, and burdened every blame And set this firefly free to burn the brightest flame So hard rocks and heads, lets beat this gritty concrete Untie these Timbalands to wash each other's feet Cause this is our mantra, a song to mow the lawn to Bump it in your life until the peace of God finds you Put a sculpture of a rapper on the cover just for laughter Doesn't matter if they ever catch what you're trying to capture [Hook]
