Mentality (June 2010)

The friction in my system is the engine to my visions.
Black out or burst; it's just my brain's combustion.

Start off starving, finish as a glutton.
At whatever cost: avoid the original problem.

Stick your head underwater. Wait as long as possible,
and right before you suck water in through your nostrils,

see the bright light at the end of the pipe.

Then spread this newfound gospel.
Go to the schools, the prisons, the hospitals.
Spread your words with conviction and withhold little.

Inform the next generation:
1. Please don't settle just because your elders were so pitiful.
2. You won't feel perfect until you lose the physical.
