When you judge someone
It does not define them
It defines you
Who am I?
What am I searching for?
I just can't seem to find a place where I belong
What is life?
And how can no-one see?
We're all the same, it is our aim to get along
Well you can see my white skin,
My blue eyes, my dreadlocks in my tam
You look me up and down,
To try and find out who I am
You startle and you hesitate as I extend my hand
If only you could see that I am just a man
Don't be distracted by the shallow surface
I'm not your foe
And so there's no need for you to be nervous
Don't see a man who's lost his way
And think my life is worthless, no
That kind of judgement never was our purpose
I can't decide if it's a jungle or a circus
The system of charades a just manipulate and hurt us
But still so many under the belief that it a serve us
It's blinding us from that which can truly preserve us
It's all been said before, but still it's not been done
Do unto others as you'd have them do unto your son
The man inna the mirror is the foundation
And the example for the world to live as One
Who am I?
What am I searching for?
I just can't seem to find a place where I belong
What is life?
And how can no-one see?
We're all the same, it is our aim to get along
Just search your soul
And look inside yourselves
And when you find yourselves, align with who you are
The key to life
It has been planted in your heart
You'll see the answers had been with you from the start
You see my eyes, my eyes have been blinded
Our hearts, our needs and wants have us divided
And I know, downing bottles of spirits won't ever be enough
These impurities and insecurities can't be hidden behind a puff
Of weed smoke
Shit, I guess every man needs hope
These answers seem close, whenever I read between these notes
I see those who use a needle between toes
Just to cope with these lows,
But their life's like looking out a broken window
And I'm trying to find the point to it, like a free throw
But sometimes I'm so sick, my soul needs to be treated like chemo
Radiated, satiated
I'm wary of the path I travel
Cause many have lost themselves on the road to greatness
I'm careful of what I plant, cause each seed grows
If you find the library with knowledge of self
Tell me, cause we need those
To spread it
This ignorance needs to be deaded
And if I understand my own reflection
Then I can prevent it
Who am I?
What am I searching for?
I just can't seem to find a place where I belong
What is life?
And how can no-one see?
We're all the same, it is our aim to get along
Just search your soul
And look inside yourselves
And when you find yourselves, align with who you are
The key to life
It has been planted in your heart
You'll see the answers had been with you from the start
So now I know who I am
Said, I know who I am
I'm strong like a lion
And meek like a lamb
So what happens after death?
What happens if I die unaware?
What happens if we die aware?
The most important thing for you, if you really want to know...
If you just want to listen to your story, that's different...
If you really want to know, the most important thing is
That you must know what is happening to life now, here
If you strive to know this, if you know just thyself
You will know everything that's worth knowing in the existence
