The Time Has Come
(Transcription attempt by Ethan)
let's begin the show.
all systems go.
got the airflow to outgrow
the status quo on the radio
from the studios to the stereos
scrappy buddha overthrows
those commercial sideshows
so hey yo, what's the scenario
it seems the world was once wonderful but now it's skid row
rainbows is gone
from the metropolitan
the streets that we on been replaced by babylon
they all pawns in the game, that's just what we are
suckas try to be the king, and live like superstars
with they fat cars
commerce in their soul
as they stroll down the block
all they gold got they mind in a knot.
we down deep in the trenches
dreamin of a better way.
gotta be a better day
outside the gray
to another world, tryin to find a doorway
so i smoke jay after jay
just to break away
now the journey's underway
walk from the world and fly through the milky way.
mary j's at my side, as i facin the abyss.
sativa, and indica, ? cannabis
help me uplift the process as i move beyond
lose my brain in the rhyme until the break of dawn.
for eons, it be on down around the neon lights
and on the concrete streets it's quite trite
shrouded in the darkness as we embark for the sun
some find the strength in others find it in the gun
one for one, blow for blow, violence is the code
yo the law is in your hands in the inner city zone.
no hole to run to, my peeps run through
the streets illin night long yo these juveniles ?
the depths of aura, we all lost in depression
the only real thing left is the youthful expression.
open your mind and let it go through the flow
just relax baby and let your soul go,
the time has come.
dipping through the darkness
of the streets with the gutter punks
to the beat i walk the concrete with the buddha monks.
train track crews in areas that's industrial
dope fiends and cans of spray paint that's combustible.
untouchable, people say that the youth in trouble.
they unreachable, unteachable, sin lovers.
we livin in a world that's mad hedonistic
heads is masochistic and be trippin on some bullshit
but not me, they can't crush the creativity
i just let it go with my positivity
how real it be, the world is crazy real but humility
keeps my shit in check tryin to dodge is the ? be.
spill the beef i don't give a fuck, so let it slide
pass the reefer for the deeper drive
as we try to free the mind, leave behind the drama
word is bond the bomb ya essence
take your life for what it is
and flow retain the lessons
messes life is death and death is life
day is night. wrong is right
weak is might, that explains the taoist plight
boundaries and falsities
in these days of abnormality
you must define your own reality
to be or not to be
i just let my mind flow
relax in the spot yo and just let it go
open your mind and let it go through the flow
just relax baby and let your soul go
the time has come.
ah, yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
now they're here to stay
yo, why must it be this way?
mom's tryin to tell me to put down the mary j.
yo but she don't understand that i gotta get away.
on the head trip. head's flippin out and catch a wreck
all night parties doin lines of crystal meth
and you can bet we ain't accepted by the fuckin mass culture
i'd rather steer clear of those fake pop vultures
cause i can't get down with pop. that shit don't rock.
i'm into low end beats, the poetry that don't stop.
plus the pot, buddhism and the chillin after midnight
crushin blunts and rhythms, that's the shit that got me hype
all across the whole world underground is my word
never been the type of kid to follow the herd
so when the pop culture dies there'll be no love lost.
the shit is for the weak, and the fakes, and the soft.
the time has come to expose the antidote.
yo we got on the flow, yo and just let it go.
you gotta let it go yo. you gotta let it go.
open your mind and let it go through the flow
just relax baby and let your soul go
the time has come.
