    Kush Stream Vol. 1: Kundalini


    Kundalini

    They say 'time' is priceless be wise how you spend it
    Cuz happiness or vices will determine your existence
    "The sky is the limit" that's the lie we've been given
    But a civilized mind won't rely on opinions ...
    He'll climb to Olympus then swim to Atlantis ...
    Discover for himself not accept what's been handed!

    They planned it!

    Ever since Moses and the 2 stone commandments
    Took a 'concept' then it's constant expansion ...
    They're constantly add'n to the chaos and madness ...
    "Man made God and it cost him the planet" ... ???
    Now we're lost in a panic, look'n for a 'savior'...
    But warring over books is irrational behavior!!!

    It's major!

    Who made ya trade ya whole soul for a stack made of paper?
    ... Destroy ya own home then trash Mother Nature!!!
    Disgraceful! Hateful! The Devil must have raised you ...
    You praise who? An 'angel'? That Anunnaki Jesús
    That came to enslave you??? Too faithful ...
    They trained you: '12 Years A Slave' since the 1st day
    Of grade school!

    Escape fool!
    Be brave too!

    Like those who flew the coop and didn't stay to be strange fruit!
    Hang'n from a strained noose give'n shade too the same troops
    Who laid claim to all of your possessions when they set-up shop
    And came thru, to rape you, and maim you, and basically invade you!
    Then turn round and blame you for every single issue in a nation
    That betrayed you! Replaced you! Stole your whole history
    Then maliciously erased you!

    Okay, cool!

    "Get ya head up out the past dude! Lets focus on the present so the future
    We can make new"
    ... I'll make due! Like Moses in the desert
    Blaze'n trails with expelled Jews! I blaze an 'L' and inhale fumes
    My brain excells then it swells too -- like molecules in vacuums
    It EXPLODES 'til it goes BOOM!!!

    So here's the whole truth:
    THERE ARE NO RULES!!!

    And once you crack the 'code' you'll overstand what I've told you ...
    That life is just a thought and what you think can control you!
    So open up that box and chase your dreams, you're suppose to!
    YOU ARE the stuff of stars a living 'GOD'! You have no clue!
    The Unvierse is yours and what you ARE is what you so choose! -- SELF

    Sorry this has been slept on.
    This is beautiful. It's stacked with stunning rhyme and flow and the msg is really interesting.
    I don't have the time to feed this now, but putting this in here for later (tonight or tomorrow) on
    when I come back and feed this properly.

    Till then, bumping

    Your rhymes aren't pure, yet they mesh so well, you'd hardly notice it. Especially on the first two lines here, the intro, good job working your wording into a stanza that isn't hell bent on rhyme. I think you've got the melody down pat and the msg is so good, that when said right, it blends and flows beautifully.
    He'll climb to Olympus then swim to Atlantis ...
    Discover for himself not accept what's been handed!
    There's a lot to be said, (in my world) for clean cut wording, and msg's that cut straight to the core. This is what you've got here. I love the HUGE msg, in these two ^^^ little lines alone.

    They planned it!

    Ever since Moses and the 2 stone commandments
    Took a 'concept' then it's constant expansion ...
    They're constantly add'n to the chaos and madness ...
    "Man made God and it cost him the planet" ... ???

    lol, very cool. And quite true to an extent. I can feel the rush of voice, the desperation of ridiculous behavior you're talking about. I can feel it not only because of your wording but also because of the way you punctuate your sentences. It adds an abrupt nature and an edge to the voice, which in this case here, helps give the reader more atmosphere.
    It's major!

    Who made ya trade ya whole soul for a stack made of paper?That's good. That's really good. And so friggen true of all the bible bashes out there, and the extremists, and the one's who know everything there is to know, about their 'one and only' true God.
    ... Destroy ya own home then trash Mother Nature!!!
    Disgraceful! Hateful! The Devil must have raised you ...Probably my favourite line. It's got great melody to it, and huge appeal with the wording.
    You praise who? An 'angel'? That Anunnaki Jesús
    That came to enslave you??? Too faithful ...
    They trained you: '12 Years A Slave' since the 1st day
    Of grade school!
    Wow. You've got so much packed into so few lines. The flow is still concrete for me, and the msg is still easy to convey to the reader, even though the subject matter might not be the most comfortable for some.

    Escape fool!
    Be brave too! I like it, nice.

    Like those who flew the coop and didn't stay to be strange fruit! LOL. Classic wording my friend. Well done.
    Hang'n from a strained noose give'n shade too the same troops
    Who laid claim to all of your possessions when they set-up shop
    And came thru, to rape you, and maim you, and basically invade you!
    Then turn round and blame you for every single issue in a nation
    That betrayed you! Replaced you! Stole your whole history
    Then maliciously erased you!I think what I like about this part here, is the pace. The build really helps the mood, making it thicker with each and every word said. With each sentence it gets darker and harsher and adds such a wonderful element to the piece. The effects are great.

    Okay, cool!These little bridges here too work well. Little odd bits of reality spat in here and there. Just make for a more oganic vibe if you ask me.

    "Get ya head up out the past dude! Lets focus on the present so the future
    We can make new" ... I'll make due! Like Moses in the desert
    Blaze'n trails with expelled Jews! I blaze an 'L' and inhale fumes
    My brain excells then it swells too -- like molecules in vacuums
    It EXPLODES 'til it goes BOOM!!!

    So here's the whole truth:
    THERE ARE NO RULES!!! The footsteps, turns into a bigger stride, and that, turns into a march, and that, gives the rhythm amazing momentum. The tempo is divine.

    And once you crack the 'code' you'll overstand what I've told you ...overstand?-smart
    That life is just a thought and what you think can control you! So true
    So open up that box and chase your dreams, you're suppose to!
    YOU ARE the stuff of stars a living 'GOD'! You have no clue!

    Self, I like that you're talking about the spiritual purpose of one's enlightenment.
    That inner strength, force, power, obviously works well, within you.
    I appreciate this sort of thing. I like reading about the energy of us all, and how we can use
    it to our advantage. I think you've done a great job here. Not frilling this up with complex wording was a smart move I believe.
    The concept alone is quite full on but you've played it down to such a simple format that it works well with your rhymes, without taking away anything where the msg is concerned. The voice you used is also authentic and real and works perfectly with a piece of this subject matter. You did it justice. It was not only entertaining, but I believe in it.
    You did a great job, with nice talent displayed, musical wording, smooth flow, and straight to the core (the irony) knowledge.

    Top Job Self Activate.
    Always a pleasure.

    Wisdom is for us to decide, not for others to bind. We will find it on our own because the definition of wisdom changes from one person to the next. I love the climb to Olympus then swim to Atlantis. I love having that mythology on here. We will swim to unfound worlds, and climb to the heavens to discover these things on our own. At least, a civilized mind will that's untarnished and untainted by the sway of public opinion that demands its 'truths' to be the only 'truth'. Also, the play on time and price and how to spend it. Well done to play around with the 'time is money' concept.

    They planned it!

    I love this bridge. The continuance of the rhyme and establishing us into a next train of thought, and the nefarious meanings of 'they' planned it.

    Ever since Moses and the 2 stone commandments
    Took a 'concept' then it's constant expansion ...
    They're constantly add'n to the chaos and madness ...
    "Man made God and it cost him the planet" ... ???
    Now we're lost in a panic, look'n for a 'savior'...
    But warring over books is irrational behavior!!!

    The implications here, the considerations. A man-made creation of laws and ideas, and took the concept to expand them only adding to the chaos and disorder. Man made God and it cost him the planet. DOPE! Looking for a savior like Jesus Christ but the funny thing is we're warring over these ideals written in books like it's the most damn rational thing in the world. Took those concepts and distorted them into craziness, an attempt to control. And perhaps it worked. Got the whole world divided and fighting while the top are smiling with the things they get away with.

    It's major!

    Same as I said above on the last one line quick hit.

    Who made ya trade ya whole soul for a stack made of paper?
    ... Destroy ya own home then trash Mother Nature!!!
    Disgraceful! Hateful! The Devil must have raised you ...
    You praise who? An 'angel'? That Anunnaki Jesús
    That came to enslave you??? Too faithful ...
    They trained you: '12 Years A Slave' since the 1st day
    Of grade school!

    Soul for the pages in a book. Or we can think of cash here. Too faithful in the teachings without questioning til' we're so blind that we're overly sensitive to counter arguments and other thought. 12 years a slave. 12 years of school. Fucking love that, the movie play. Your wording here flows so effortlessly and the multis are hitting. And you can read this with a bounce of emotion. Great verse, might be my favorite set of lines in here.

    Escape fool!
    Be brave too!

    Oh, two lines this time. You nifty motherfucker, lol. Escape from the bullshit, don't be a fool. Be brave too, because you'll need it going up against these twisted fuckers trying to distort your words and make you seem like the one who is being hateful.

    Like those who flew the coop and didn't stay to be strange fruit!
    Hang'n from a strained noose give'n shade too the same troops
    Who laid claim to all of your possessions when they set-up shop
    And came thru, to rape you, and maim you, and basically invade you!

    Flew the coop. Those birds leaving the nest of crazies, but being on the outside looking in can get depressing. Escape from the madness with the noose. Do I sense a Native American undertone hidden in here? Native American genocide, stealing of history. Could simply be an examination of colonialism and 'christian missions' across the world.

    Okay, cool!

    Only so many times I can comment on this. I just like these bridges. Makes it easier for us to hop into the next stanza/verse.

    "Get ya head up out the past dude! Lets focus on the present so the future
    We can make new"
    ... I'll make due! Like Moses in the desert
    Blaze'n trails with expelled Jews! I blaze an 'L' and inhale fumes
    My brain excells then it swells too -- like molecules in vacuums
    It EXPLODES 'til it goes BOOM!!!

    Head filling up with so much knowledge, too much, it fucking explodes when you can't handle too many hard and honest truths at one time. But... you can do it. If others have made it, you can too.

    So here's the whole truth:
    THERE ARE NO RULES!!!

    Now those bridges become even more important. They were kind of setting us up. Each small line in between verses almost a commentary on what was said in the verses. A conversation kind of, building up to this. This moment of truth. Self revelation? A revelation of the world. THERE ARE NO RULES, and this is true; only society decides what you can and cannot do but in the truth of the natural world there are no laws or rights or privileges; it's simply survival via evolution.

    And once you crack the 'code' you'll overstand what I've told you ...
    That life is just a thought and what you think can control you!
    So open up that box and chase your dreams, you're suppose to!
    YOU ARE the stuff of stars a living 'GOD'! You have no clue!
    The Unvierse is yours and what you ARE is what you so choose!

    Overstand? I'm sensing that was purposeful... Over. Above, being above the lies and deceit. Could even be a simple break of those rules. Overstand is innovation and creation. It's all up to you. You can do what you want to, just silence out the noise of bullshit.
    Thoughtful, poignant, great rhymes, smooth flow, cool story. Great shit, Self.

    Re: Kush Stream Vol. 1: Kundalini

    Overstand by definition means to resist. However, in spiritual context it means to know on a subconscious or higher level; whereas understand means to be under the authority of popular opinion or subjugated to intellectualism as opposed to true wisdom which is the highest form of knowlege. Now these are not concrete definitions, more personal interpretations, but what I've stated is how I intended the word to be used. However, on a deeper and more divine level I personally like to employ the word inner-stand. To me it's about soul searching, looking to yourself for answer. To know thyself sort of thing.

    OAN

    Incredible breakdown per usual. Your feed is more interesting than my verse. But at least I know you thoroughly read it and meditated on the content. Drop something new so I can do the same.

    Good looking out Illy. For real.
