lyrics
Verse 1
They say you never know your greatness until your faced with a situation that requires higher elevation.
I’m patient, I’ve waited, I’ve sat up in my bedroom after concentrated contemplation.
I’ve seen it come to pass, when the things that you ask for show up clear as ever in your path.
I’ve laughed at the idea of being in the industry that’s interesting cause I’m getting offers rather relentlessly.
I only seek to spread a message; the fact is my actions are aligned with the purest of intentions.
I’m an educator, not an entertainer or an edu-tainer, I need no containers, can’t say it any plainer.
I live outside the box, but they call me crazy cause my style is so unorthodox.
I know my inner being; the flow of energy is so electric at this very moment as I’m presently.
Hook:
I travel down the path, living a life of balance, learn to subdue my passions, honor the code of silence,
My mind has been enlightened; won’t struggle to embrace it, I'm obligated to spread light to those in dark places.
Verse 2:
Modern day Martin Luther, King of the visionaries, bringin’ the wisdom buried with Egyptian missionaries.
Enter on perfect points, I’ve lead a certain few, to the promised land to find their hidden inner truth.
But I am just a man; living deliberately, master my lower self, embracing inner peace.
I only offer balance, which is the mystery; cause positive and negative have battled throughout history.
Doesn’t make sense to me, how people with the gift of life take it for granted by wasting precious energy.
Fame and riches chasing, names with different faces, the same will need replacements when the master’s seat is vacant.
Now I’m achieving greatness every time I read the statements of those affected by the music that I’ making.
I feel like Cassius Clay did when he changed his name and represented all the hopes and dreams of people in the nation.
Hook:
I travel down the path, living a life of balance, learn to subdue my passions, honor the code of silence,
My mind has been enlightened; won’t struggle to embrace it, I'm obligated to spread light to those in dark places.
Verse 3:
Sailing the 7 seas, crossing the burning sands, using the heart, which is the balance between head and hands.
Some say the heart is wicked, I say the heart is true, it sends the signals of emotion to another part of you.
Which is the intellect, that’s where the wisdom gets to process what is taking place while acting as the final check.
Before a step is taken, you have an opportunity to think about the implications of the choice you’re making.
I live beyond the limits, it is to be expected, that in the face of truth, gimmicks are re-directed.
I want the world to get it, but who am I to want for someone else when they don’t want for self I’m learning to accept it.
Learned to subdue your passions in hopes to gain control, of the things that could potentially control a sacred soul.
I know I’m getting close, but I’m unsure of where, following my inner guidance system until I am there!
Hook:
I travel down the path, living a life of balance, learn to subdue my passions, honor the code of silence,
My mind has been enlightened; won’t struggle to embrace it, I'm obligated to spread light to those in dark places.
