"Way Too Long" lyrics

Once upon a time i was stable, I felt able
To do what i was capable of
Even though a lot of homies didnt really show love
Cause I would give girls a reason to TRUST
And thats reason enough
To feel secure in your own state of being
Thats why I'll rock stuff you wouldn't be seen in
I'm just trying to find something pleasing
While I'm breathing, cause it hurts to see my mom grieving
After my dad passed nothing really felt even
And I miss him to death believe me
My bro gone too...My main friend locked up every weekend
Getting used to people leaving, but I keep believing
That things get better, it's no curse
Cause trust me it can't get no worst
Packing a box of ports cause my pack getting short
Cause my emotions back & forth and they help my thoughts

When you wake up in the morning, which one you gone be
The envious, glad, sad or the one with jealousy
If you not feeling like yourself then where the real "YOU" be
And do you feel it in your heart, mind, soul or body
If you wake feeling aggressive is that mood just destine
Or can you change every second by breaking habits and lessons
The christians say pray, the buddhist say train your mind
The athens say just wait cause it only takes time
The Priest say confess, clear your conscious
The weak say fuck it, kill the nonsense
The strong say they tough, they can "heal they self"
The depressed say enough, they gone kill they self
I say them ALL cause we ALL have ills
Even though sometimes we mistake them for skills
So use to the FAKE we mistake it for REAL
So use to being used we mistake it for deals

I look at life like sports
At the end one side "happy" and one side "mad"
It all just depends on the makings of your THOUGHTS
So the event LACKS EVERYTHING you THOUGHT that it had
Correlates to life, if an event happens
To some its a miracle to others a disaster
That doesn't make the EVENT either one
So the event two different things but it's really just ONE
Then, if we control our minds to know that EVERYTHING'S for the better
Then we'll keep our happiness through any kind of weather
And thats how I base my life
I TRY to separate the wrongs and rights
I got the heart to fight
SAMSARA (see below) through the darkest nights
Get through cause it'll be alright, and if not
It's nothing I can change so I'm still at peace
I just hope that you can live it with me

-------------------------

Samsara - derived from "to flow together" or "shifting from different states". One of the causes of suffering in some religions. Meaning, always wanting the next thinking it will be better, but when you get the next, you want the one after that because you think it will be better. It's an ongoing cycle that EVERYBODY has.

The Meaning of the Intro to "...And So It Begins"

The intro to "...And So It Begins" is the mantra (or chant) to the Throat/5th chakra. It is related to communication and creativity. When the mantra is chanted, it opens the chakra, and releases the energy within that point, in this case the throat. When open, you feel free to speak your mind, express yourself fluently, and feel as if you have a right to your voice.


If the chakra is under-active, you feel:
introverted
shy
intimidated to speek up
no need to tell the truth

If the chakra is over-active, you:
are dominating in conversations
have a tendency to talk over others
speak without listening


The words being spoken in the chant are:
Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam Ji,
Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru Ji


Meaning:
Sat means the truth; Nam means to call upon, name or identify with
Sat Nam means "Truth is my identity and I call upon the eternal Truth that resides in all of us"

Wahe Guru is the chant of ecstasy. Its not translatable but chanting it elevates the spirit.


So I hope that reading this helps you understand the Intro to "...And So It Begins"
