Sup The Chemist - As the sun rises
(from the album Dust)
© copyright 1999, Sup The Chemist
As the sun rises
The moon descends
Bringing another chapter of my life to an end
I plan to win
If I fail, try again
Body leaning forward
Into the force of the wind
Wearing shades to sustain my vision
Commissioned, conditioned
Cause I train
I have goals I must obtain or go insane
Worshiping God
Gives me strength when I'm drained
Delirious from my quest
Chris you must understand your purpose
Before you can expect someone to be blessed
When they purchase
A recording packed
Wt. ecclesiastical recordings
I thank you lord
For once again with wisdom you showered me
A vessel who offends you daily
Knowing this and I still choose
To disobey thee
My God how can I ever repay thee
Chorus
As the sun rises
The moon descends
Bringing another chapter of my life to an end
I'm awaken by the rays
Shinning through my blinds
As I stand to live out yesterdays thoughts
I left behind
Are the detrimental or instrumental
Is my ego so thick
That even if the answer is negative I won't switch
Man I'm leaning on Proverbs chapter 3 verse 6
Trying not to get caught up in the mix
Tripping of f of baller's and tricks
I love the grip and the lavish life style
But then I'm spooked
By the phony smile
I feel like I'm on trial
The path I stroll
Controls the destiny to my soul
Trying to imagine forever
Then my concentration is broken by this peddler
Asking me for a dollar
I look into his eyes
And I can see that he's not right
He explains
Man I haven't been the same
Since I was 19
Sent off to Vietnam to fight
Chorus
As the sun rises
The moon descends
Bringing another chapter of my life to an end
A communion of interest to those who respect my opinion
A pothole to those
Who feel they need no more wisdom?
I choose not to argue
Because ones thoughts
Are shaped by what they've seen
But I firmly stand on 1peter 3:15
Though at times it seems
The more I analyze
The more I realize
We've been programmed to memorize
And except it as the way to be
Living the speakers reality
Well my millennium mentality prevents me
From this act
I must study to accumulate facts
For everything has truth
It was one big pie
Someone got the recipe
Added their own ingredients
Giving birth to a lie
Hindering the possibility
Of one experiencing the maximum level of Gaiety
When I die
How will the world remember me?
Will my family benefit from my legacy?
This is the mind state
That I am continuously in
As the sun rises
And the moon descends
