Braille - Relevant
(from the album Scatter Brain)
© copyright 2005

Yeah, digging through the box of rhymes. This one’s from 1998, 16 years old. It’s like this:

Explosion’s a base to the rec league effect
An unrighteous mind that can’t understand perplex
The way you view life is a complex aspect
Promise is body language, it’s forced to dialect
With all due respect, I’m not blaming you as a whole
But in this case appointing the thickness of your skull
What we believe intrigues what we know
And keeps us from tracking down our own soul
Self discipline lies in self control
I bootleg, heads drift, call me gravitational pull
Cuz I’ve read it all, from man to myth
And in my right mind, a supreme being exists
I first rec a track so your mind can’t resist
Then have you tripping off a metaphor that’s God’s premises
It’s poisonous, fatal gets blown from the callous
Will shatter us, whether or not we think it matters
My cerebration will have brains in action
Just wait ‘til heads realize the sentence they’re repeating
It’s not to be abrasive, it’s setting a mark
But how can one live off a shot in the dark
The evidence is thoughts that we’re not trained to express
There’s so many stories, how do I know which one’s correct
It becomes the too hot to handle subject
When stress is of your decision, don’t get near it
It’s resolved in the mind but understood by the spirit
So quit using your ears to hear it

CHORUS:
This is a lyric from the heart to ya’ll
This is a rhyme I wrote in ’98
I still feel the same way today
Maybe that means this verse is relevant

Some refuse to let a track shine for what is spoken
Misses the song ain’t dope until their neck is broken
I’ll get you open with intelligent conversation
And show the difference between the real thing and imitation
You leave your own mental state as victim’s of pollution
Every time the sun rises, you see it in suspicion
Why have a taste of every man’s medicine
Until a glass of calcium washes down the vitamin
Display those defective babies in a museum
So those that created them will have time for retaliation
At least do it out of precaution
Yo, this verse is too long, we gotta flip up the beat

Why faze the nation when your face could be the nation
I commence with deep breaths of emotion
Standing as the differential of all sensation
So write abrasions on life but their verbal isn’t matching
It’s cuz there’s no answer to the question. It’s cuz
There’s no question to the answer that you’re asking
I lose every job I hire for mentally harassing
Chain linking my tongue to security from the assassin
It rains on both of us in the plantation
You just need to learn to soak it in for expansion
This tension will have a stiff man bending
The inner ? words , drop your weapon
I’m trying to finish a story that’s never ending
I was battling myself and ended up surrendering
Man closes his eyes and starts pretending
Then opens them thinking he will see a conclusion
How can a mind start physically attacking
By using the body as a chemical reaction
Uphold those myself as energy subtracting
I closely watch, cautious that others are reenacting
It’s not all the sudden that I’m disagreeing
It’s all the sudden that you started emceeing
A vaccine clears all symbols that resemble
It’s all in the spirit translated to the mental
These are young one, perplex, son, be gentle
You’ll scare the child using food stamps to buy soul food
Interacting with his own impulsive mood
I can let anger circulate to human beings
But instead I let it flow through ink when I’m writing
I struggle to keep up my triangled health
This isn’t for you, but for God and myself

CHORUS (2x)
