Terence McKenna - Driftin lyrics

[Intro Terence McKenna] Obviously, when you evolve inside an animal body localized in space and time you get a hellacious set of reflexes and muscles designed to deal with immediate threat in the environment But at the core of the oyster is, you know, this portal into universal-ism; which we have denigrated into what we call the imagination [Hook] Driftin' I feel different I'm drfting Floating out Driftin' Man, I feel different Driftin Floating out [Intro Sample] Ladies and gentlemen, Whysir [Verse 1] This is for the kids in basements Sipping whatever they've sold you In a time where we can train you to play ball Or to be soldiers Or to feel unworthy of the path you choose As if you chose to Rest behind the holes in front of your skull You're here that means they own you You're one of them so go to school and go to church And learn what's cool And crave that stuff and start to drool And go bankrupt acting a fool Like you knew where path would end up When you started walking it Gotta lotta baggage on you Sitting road side talking sh** We've got a space for vagrants just like you Who can't follow the rules Get desperate and then f** up And then we'll put your a** to use Take a tab then teeth will dry From the forced smiles on your faces Side affects from antidepressants and non inflammatory agents If wait gets intolerable just ask friends or neighbors They charge more cuz they scored first But you get what you paid for In the land where standing in line for stuff is considered labor I can't stand for pharma culture I don't trust these pills or their makers So i'm [Hook] Driftin' I feel different I'm drfting Floating out Driftin' Man, I feel different Driftin Floating out [Verse 2] Drifting in and out of dimensions did I mention I'm dope Meant for greatness grate your cheesy bars it's bu*ter that I smoke I'm a psychonaut and a** will not determine which way I go But acid may and MDMA and shrooms and maybe even dro I watch the news and break a sweat and write a rap and cash a check and take some d** my life's a wreck so self destruct Ama**ing debt I wish I could escape the traps I feel I'm always walking in I've gotta my life back on its track so grab some scratch and wins I gotta space I've built inside my mind that takes me into space i fuel the craft and then blast off The whole planet is then erased And when you emcees on the fence see me I can't wait to see your faces In the meantime I'll be grindin Down In Portland Cashing rain checks If pain gets intolerable consult a physician And if you're bored see a hypnotist, palm reader or magician I'm a technician out of work Who has his tech game legit and I may just be imaginary Mirage in the distance [Hook] Driftin' I feel different I'm drfting Floating out Driftin' Man, I feel different Driftin Floating out
