"Way Too Long" lyrics

2010-04-17T11:46:00.000-07:00

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 Lethal Aces rare & classic mixtape VA'z Locked Vol. 1. Not being on our own nuts but we took over with this mixtape. If you weren't a part of it you wouldn't understand. People were loving what we were doing and we did it well. Consisting of 4 different styles, Producer/Rapper J. Chill, Producer/Rapper Dimp, Producer/Rapper (Young) Hoffa, & Frank Wizzle, who were all on Black Royalty Ent. Really a classic to those who know about it & recognize talent.

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

2010-02-19T12:21:00.000-08:00

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"
