"Ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself. It is easy for

me to put on a show, and be cocky so I can show you some really fancy

movement. But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to

express myself honestly enough; that my friend is very hard to do."



(Verse 1)

Like sand through the hourglass

So are the days of our lives

And for that lie, only we thrive

Awakenings, as we make the dead come alive

Rise and walk my son, come into the light

Inside the dark, we illuminate mics

Give knowledge to mediocre, the will to Neanderthal

Filter to the smog, digital to analog

We steady advancing, rhyme enhancing

Simple minds can't keep up with this



(Verse 2)

I'm a put it on the table

I ain't a thug nigga and playa

I ain't playful, I'm jus' a non-sinner

A man without label, standin' on my own two

Tryin' to stay stable

Speakin' what I know, to only what I label

I ain't the kinda guy who carry out for dough

The material cat who walk around for show

I'm jus' everyday, merry-way Joe-in-the-go

While other's go wit' the flow

I ain't never been the one to follow trend

I do my own bit, can't keep up with the Joneses

I'm on my own shit, I don't care what you drink

What you stress, how you dress, or where you got the link

I ain't impressed

These lames walk around like mice in the maze

Tryin' to get up on cheese, its just a rap race

One escapes time seems to make

Man worships things over the supreme thing

A stop for lots, should I join the hypocrites

Or side with the suckers, by choice

It makes no difference, that you're a product of environment

Is just coincidence, the world's
