[Chorus]
Damn I missed my space ship,
While on the way to Zion /
Count away the seconds,
While in the rain I’m climbing /

[Verse I] "What do you write / fight for?"
It's like I'm fighting for freedom, writing for freedom /
Pimping my wisdom, pinpoint the trauma /
Sought knowledge in the droplets of rain /
Let it wash over my essence / like, catharsis /
I placed my trust in those who didn't need it /
Gave advice to those who ignored it /
Curse of Cassandra, the clarity of my voice /
Penetrates through the depths of, the void /
Avoid the hardheaded, protecting my energy /
Devour the hard lessons, develop my inner peace /
Destroy, the mental barriers, searching for harmony /
Free fall from asteroids, center self to breathe /
I speak in metaphors, write in similes /
To seek my inner scrolls, and the, vinyl of my soul /
The tone of self love, sounds like my brother's prayers /
Kissed palms whisper to my flaws when I /

[Pre-Chorus]
Holler and you holler, you finally fall (x3)
But I'll levitate, till my spirit, grasps fate /

[Chorus]
I missed my space ship,
While on the way to Zion /
Count away the seconds,
While in the rain I’m climbing /

[Verse II] "What are you worth?"
Speaking in dreams, a black man holding the seams /
Of duality, shedding self, so I can see /
Through reality, wielding the Agamotto, I heard /
The voice of truth, but missed myself / Calling the knowledge of self worth /
The wisdom of self love, the trinity of the verse / Reflects, my Xeno works /
A / Black boy finding secrets of Utopia /
Wrestle inner demons, seeing, oceans of my inner being /
Sitting on the edge of the river, quoting Siddhartha /
Look for definition of self, like Saitama /
Foot steps, treading on Mars, like Manhattan /
Weightless, dancing on air, like Zaheer /
God's Hand in the Zen Garden /
Stay patient till my mind's open /
Evanescent plotting Buddha's Armor /
To the hymns of my brother's prayers /
Kissed palms whisper to my flaws when I /

[Pre-Chorus]
Holler and you holler, you finally fall (x3)
But I'll meditate, till my soul, illuminates /

[Chorus]
I missed my space ship,
While on the way to Zion /
Count away the seconds,
While in the rain I’m climbing /

[Verse III / Poem]
This ain’t a sad song, it’s a sonnet of /
My inner thoughts, seeing / My outer being, reaching /
For reflections in the droplets of rain /
I yearn, for definition, defining my life’s plane / Through,
Countless hours of, honing my craft, it’s /
Time to show, my, work’s gold / A /
Virtuoso lyricist, count stars with Nujabes /
Tight rope misfit, balancing common sense /
I don’t sleep often, but I, dream well /
Every, verse spills, from / lucid lips, like /
Like, loose leaf pages ripped from my soul’s scroll /
The calligraphy is sloppy, but sounds like Jazz /
Whispers of saxophone solo / Sound,
like I can’t keep quiet /

Writing as if, the fountain of youth
can be discovered between her thighs /
Spit, like there was a hurricane
left on my tongue / Tastes /
like Nostalgia / on the rocks

I’ve spent too many midnights
marauding for war / sun,
glimmer like Gai-sensei grin
Senpai, I’ve finally noticed
the Super Saiyan lurking
in my speech
My Taj Mahal is nostalgia
mural’ed in apparitions
reminding myself that “selfies”
are a radical form of self love

My journey to Enlightenment
is a dreamlike ode to the Jazz
articulated in break beats

The studio is late night haven
Catharsis / a pulpit of blues
built on twilight
And I am a comet streak
an apparatus of confetti
strung to night sky
like star / dus(t)k
is moments away
but the horizon couldn’t be
so close

Hue of nostalgia
at the bottom of whiskey
glass / served,
on the rocks

I am (30) and unfinished
Realizing how beautiful my soul / Is
How beautiful I / am
How fragile my smile / is /
At funerals / where /
I wrote eulogies / for /
Homies / Poured / Forties, to memory /
Block / Feels, like I’ve lost myself / In /
Their untold stories, but can’t forget / My /

Story /
Yearning to unravel my /
Story /
Even if no one is listening /

I guess /
Catharsis is the reason /
I missed /
My spaceship /

To(o) /

[Transition to “The Scent of Rain”]

I’m Happy ^_^

[Verse IV]
It don’t take a whole day to recognize my light /
I shine bright, eighth light, of All Might /
It’s the third eye, five side, inter-dimensional /
I calibrate the lyrics to seek, my inner limits and prosper /
Limitless I / break down my gifts, in increments /
I exist / between the seconds, I blink /
Between realities / Slaying the false prophets /
Meditate with scholars / I found, Buddha in mountains /
Love, struck me to stardust /
Palms stretched toward the north star /
Celestial secrets, in my repertoire /
Tethering the Storm / Omega beauty Ororo /
Borealis chalice my magic is universal /
Holding onto spirits, I twist, manuscripts /
Into voodoo / Pull blues from the moon /
Condense my energy / move, in harmony /
To align, nomadic minds /

[Chorus / Outro]
Collapse breaths on a dying star /
Vagabond be molding mantras near and far /
Kissed palms, I’ll meditate to where you are /
Rejuvenate the spirit just to heal them scars /
