The Five Practices for Nurturing Happiness
The First Practice: Letting Go

The first method of creating joy and happiness is to cast off, to leave behind. There is a kind of joy that comes from letting go. Many of us are bound to so many things. We believe these things are necessary for our survival, our security, and our happiness. But many of these things—or more precisely, our beliefs about their utter necessity—are really obstacles for our joy and happiness.

lyrics

[Chorus]
Solar System traveler, waiting to, transcend /
They ain't realize, the work, we putting in /
It's Peace, Power, Overstanding when I ascend /
On Celestial Self Love, loving my melanin /

[Verse I] I’m probably the /
Most underrated, yet, elevated / Meditative state /
Open up your mind like, / Chakras /
Chakravartin / Moving Spartans / Spitting esoteric wisdom /
Through the dew, prism / See’em glisten in they vision / I,
Tear planets from heavens and place them in a new sky /
Nomadic Medjay, calibrating your third eye /
Foresight of Garnet, navigating the streams of time /
Magnetic poet, bend words like the Avatar /
Afro-magical, shatter your tabernacle /
An Afrocentric Buddha spinning mantras in the lyrics /
Uplifting spirits / Zenyatta with the harmony /
Purple haze Hendrix, kiss, sky when I resonate /
Majora with the mask, command, magic and moons /
Modal be my Soul, that's word, to Seba Jun /
Chewing on some donuts, with Dilla, I will commune /
Timeless, through soundscapes, elevating the truth /

[Chorus]
Solar System traveler, waiting to, transcend /
They ain't realize, the work, we putting in /
It's Peace, Power, Overstanding when I ascend /
On Celestial Self Love, loving my melanin /

[Verse II]
Fractions of Godbody / War tactics of Shaka Zulu /
Art of War like Sun Tzu, Art of Peace like Morihei /
Book of Five Rings, wielding Dragons when I Dream /
Steel, sharpening steel, but rhymes cut through diamond /
Fabric splitting universe craft, eternal shining /
Black Fist, revolution, mind state glisten, like /
Shotgun Urameshi / Spirit Bomb of Goku /
Black(er) than Zamasu, my Super Saiyan is Rosé /
Blacker than, Rick Ross, steady yelling out Rosé /
Hue of crosshairs, ready for warfare / I'm a,
Levitating Monk, who, cross counters in midair /
Hit them with that knowledge, rolling punches like I'm Dempsey /
Barrel roll through cosmos, seek, peace, in my journey /
Afro Samurai, who smiles, like sun rise /
I comprise these thoughts, while I stay, Black and die /

[Chorus]
Solar System traveler, waiting to, transcend /
They ain't realize, the work, we putting in /
It's Peace, Power, Overstanding when I ascend /
On Celestial Self Love, loving my melanin /

[Bridge]
Black people unite, let's all get down /
Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The 8th Light is gon' shine like All Might /

(Brown) people unite, let's all get down /
Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The 8th Light is gon' shine like All Might /

(Everybody) unite, let's all get down /
Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The 8th Light is gon' shine like All Might /

(Everybody) unite, let's all get down /
Now everybody hop on the one, the sounds of the two
It's the third eye vision, five side dimension
The 8th Light, we gon' shine (Bright Tonight) /

[Verse III]
Peep the word. Yes, my, heavenly word /
Tongue clung to the edge of reverse blade swords /
Sworn deity of mercy, I'm Guanyin, perceiving the sounds of the world /
Ambiance of the record resounds through the soul /
Transcribe, my melody in the warmth of this jazz /
Root, tendencies, in the fabric of these lyrics /
Garden of the galaxies, I'm searching for Leylines /
And infinite sunshine, together we mobilize /
Like the Megazord / Write through discord /
Zenyatta with the orbs, I'm balancing, the source / Between,
Heaven and Earth / Monolith and the verse / Obelisk and the mind / Align,
My inner scripture as I feel the astral texture /
Of an Afro child, just, gazing toward the clouds /
Cavalier of stratospheres, conquering my fears /
When I shoot for the moon, just to land, in the stars /

[Chorus]
Solar System traveler, waiting to, transcend /
They ain't realize, the work, we putting in /
It's Peace, Power, Overstanding when I ascend /
On Celestial Self Love, loving my melanin /

[Outro]
Lotus flower / Nebula, rise out of the mud /
Kissing through the earth / In search of Buddha's love /
Bloom, out of the darkness / Illuminating magic /
Radiate to the world / Enlightenment in passion /
