(Intro) Swing high then swing low I know we all know Swing high then swing low I know we all know
(K-Os) I was rushing to the end But you're everything I saw, again And hoping to pretend I was knocking on heavens door my friends But I was just a fool, caught up in the game Everything is cool, believing in my name instead of his And then the sun came out I couldn't find the shade, I'm not afraid Of the light anymore
[Chorus:] Patience Heavens on the side be patient The universe is mines Patience Everything is grand use patience And you can understand
(K-Os) Now everyone knows We hold the key deep in our souls But we are living a life on the surface yo What's the purpose of living lies Somebody tell me Some hearts are made of stone (of stone) They'll find their way back home (home) I know I walk the path of life eternally To be free, its our time
[Chorus]
(Outro) Swing high then swing low I know we all know Swing high then swing low I know we all know
We might want to take you higher than.. You might want to take it higher take it We just want to take it higher than... You might want to take it higher... take it We just want to take you higher than... You might want to take it higher take it
(K-OS) Love do we really know the meaning, cause we always fuss and fight And the mind is so deceiving, when the heart can't stead you right So I wrote this song to tell you, that I can't stand alone in the fire Forget the lies they sell you, Only you can take me high
Love without a second...Far to close to mention Love without a second...Far to close to mention
(K-OS) You can take this higher...and be all the stars above You can take this higher...than I can You can take this higher...and be all the stars above You can take this higher...than I can
(K-OS) There's no need keeping it separated. Just show me we moving together now Ain't no need keeping it separated. Just show me we moving together
(K-OS) Yo yo You really got me going, you took me for a ride Funny how you got two faces, Dr. Jekyl, Mr. Hyde I try to swallow my pride but then I choke People thinking this is just a joke Never really got the verses I wrote Its just a rap song that's all, people do not care Do it for money and power and rolleys in the air But you know who be returning so people don't fear I got to take it high and disappear I got to do it
You can take this higher...and be all the stars above You can take this higher...than I can You can take this higher...and be all the stars above You can take this higher...than I can
There's no need keeping it separated Just show me we moving together now Ain't no need keeping it separated Just show me we moving together
You say you say you say you flying And it feel so good (repeated to the end of the song)
(K-OS) (Masquerade) One two, see this? Right here this is heat, yo, yo Massive massive
(Hook: K-OS) There's something deep inside That's telling you that love's so much more This is just a masquerade When everything's alright You know it's time for the writing wars If it's just a masquerade
(K-OS) When I feel the way of my lost innocence Looking for emotions that are fallacy Everything is waiting on that dominance Hoping for new opuses and alibis And I'm with you, oh oh oh If I could starve from falling And I bet you, oh oh silenced the Voices in your head but there's no place to go
(Hook: K-OS) There's something deep inside That's telling you that love's so much more This is just a masquerade
(K-OS) I sit back with the microphone Watchin' these MC's turn to actors Producin' all the factors That flip life, into a masquerade We like a bunch of mannequins Battery operated, inoculated With five sentences connect us to the Earth Rich sinners since the days of my birth For what it's worth, dissuaded love I'm steadily spreadin' love over the beat down Let's meditate and feel the heat now Like beautiful rain, on the desert plain Cause the sun parch the ground on the weak sound I break it down, to elements H to O A place to go, that you can't escape the flow Does not exist, I love the truth so I persist Intelligent men? Or just "Gorillas in the Mist" Clenchin' a black fist, for the size of dollar bill I leave the space so you can think about it now so just chill
(Hook: K-OS) (There's something, there's something deep in) (There's something) There's something deep inside That's telling you that love's so much more This is just a masquerade When everything's alright You know it's time for the writing wars If it's just a masquerade
Black shit, ration, tryin' to step up But they can't even cash it Kick that shit
(Kamau) (First saved message) In this venture, nothing gained I've only just touched the surface Once nervous, when writing for a worthless purpose It was once more than this, before the heart left the beat The soul left the speech, I'm still trying to reach My niche, and teach the love again Inside the hate of a present day Got stepped after, being genuine we're swept away Before the importance of diamonds, bells And a platinum place, fallen from grace Not my campus with another trace Of the same thing I came in, this thing is worth saving Standing in the pockets holding tongues of what I'm saying Blaming myself only for supporting what they're playing I may peek through the storm, but now it's raining Unchanging of late, it's hard to be creative Although creating is native to me, I tried to be Even patience couldn't save it, from the days of pages They couldn't believe I would say this No longer without wings, Kamau is what my name is Too many undermine, what I underline Placing my poetry underneath their making of rhymes It was a creation of frustration Brown bricks or blank slates Subway trains and cardboard bound with masking tape It was the sound of the evening, the way the day grew late Words tumble from lungs over my tongue And gave a new taste to my fate It doesn't even matter how the chatter would paint us With love on our side they could barely stand against us Um, what up? Uh Kheaven, what's goin' down? Um I got your message, and uh yeah, basically call me back Basically call me back and tell me Sorry about the length of the message, but you know You feelin' it? Aight man peace (End of message)
(K-OS) Positivity, that's my man And to the one Godzillah, understands The deep, Cole got the beat And to the one that fit, is for the street And contents of the Pressure Knows the deal, and to the girl, Victory You make me feel, but my man John Salle' We keep it down, Figure Four kinda love
I pull out the mic, and shock MC's for spite Whatever I write, magnifies heavenly sight You said you shinin', but that really means you reflect I absorb light within my pores and then connect With the righteous one, he told me son, "Forget it Live your life for the truth don't anyone ever let it." Shed often, trapped on the Earth light walkin' I meditate day to day so I can stay on the right path How many know just what I'm feelin'? The earth keep revealin' songs you can't sing To the non-believers, deceivers that can't see this They blind to the fact but I can't relax I keep runnin' see the light towards the sun and They keep shunnin', but I bow my head to The One and I can't lie, so you for it, I want to fly Up to the heavenly hills where love chills
[Chorus: K-OS] He told me, "Son, follow me And I will come to." He told me, "Son, follow me And I will come to."
(K-OS) My method is wild, original style Acoustic, some'll refuse it Cause they don't know the real The Seventh Seal, is broken so I be smokin' On these whack rappers, cause they never knew the time Easy to find, out the way things are But how it's supposed to be is to far For your mind to grasp so you follow the mass Playin' the role of a mack, but deep inside the mack knows The spirit is under attack, and I lead the war With my battalion, lyrical stallion, riding Dividing the sheep from the golden lyrical quote If not you could get smoked, by the mind is sore genius I mean this I guarantee you never seen this before Rappin' over guitars and finger snaps My rapid raps, open a whole fire bun He told me son, so check it out
[Chorus]
(Red 1) Yo, my war's against the foundation Of a global united nation When humans rule the world By the codes of free mason Hallucinated, by the quest for domination An equation, which equals the battle station Ready to bust, capture and crush Move a nine of us, stealth style rebellious Prefer profile, cause the beast is hideous So move agile, seek the facts and compile More wisdom, smokin' isms That your knowledge and your children Give thanks and it has nothin' to do With the fuckin' Pilgrims Startin' the curriculum, the Devil wants to be Ichiban Interception is how this is done But by the locks of the dreaded don aka Red one We'll emerge the champion cause the war is on So grab your Teflon, your muskets and your swords And peace love and unity will be your reward
Turn this up Turn this up Uh huh No beat Uh huh No no no beat Uh huh uh huh Bring it Bring it

I break out my physical shell And excel past the so called body Used to go to the party But now I sit and chill with the pen and the pad Dropping ill philisophical science Me and my dad we talk about life And how it started How we departed from lights path And probable right math The task at hand is making people understand that we're not who we Think we are Within this land of lost the cost of souls could be so high People be getting high wondering why we die But it's all planned To get your fear take the hand We keep on returning because the lessons need learning Concerning the fact I sing and I rap I hold this mic contact Critics can step back and analize I energise with cosmic rays of days There ain't no ??? ??? of the sun

Wait, hold up, electrify, death defy, elect the high, Connect the sky To the sensei, blade keeps spinning All around the world, but the world keeps sining I've been in crazy situations Since I've learned the art of watching paitence Big shout to the hip-hop nation, just dance with elation, yeah
Don't rely on this, to get you high Don't rely on us, to get you high
(let the music go) x3
Yo, put the needle on the record, here we go again It's the brank new funk for real Mass appeal, it's everlasting, asking you forcasting direction Insurrection is served on a 12 inch platter Mostly incorrect data, over matter Is a mind that you'll find, it's design, is international, Rational Back in the day we listened to rap, Bill gats in the backpack Yo, try many styles for the 3-1, instead of writing a rhyme I'd rather be one two yo can watch what you do and live in the now, but believe there's only a few Sometimes you've got to get inside to get it high
(you don't know) x3
Don't rely on us, to get you high Don't rely on this, to get you high Don't rely on us, to get you high Don't rely on this, to get you high
Yeah, It's so hard to remain authentic Everything around me is changing, Even the earth is moving in two different places in outer space But.. One thing remains the same.. Till the end of time I think I'll remain, I think I'll just stay?
A b-Boy standin in my b-Boy stance (x8)
From the top of the highest summit, again we run it. A hundred and forty four shimmering lights stunnin To quick for the human eye to catch a glimpse You know pimps cannot convince with bigger attempts of emcee'in, Blowing word to the wind, While we conscend to limit the sins and pretend We're still human, when if fact were only half, the other path extends infinity do the math I try to laugh, but they pull me down like crabs in a bucket With hands in my pocket, I don't really laugh Heaven only knows, the keeps invading the flows that turns black pros to white foes? Your just supposin have you heard my words moving at light speed and getting blurred. It's all so incredible decibels at glance standing in a be-stance
This one leads the way Now cut it up, cut it up back to back, on the wheels of steel, cut it up back to back
Elevate, meditate, eliminate-thoughts from my past keep knocking upon my gate Shouldn't let em in, the answers not to debate But to observe the debating and then we can understate
Yo party people listen up at the drop of dime, They took cameras to Africa for pictures to rhyme Over old...yes, the great pretenders Religious entertainers who want to be life savers Damn...another dollar for the mind, another cold ? hoping They can't find, they can't copy or get pictures with no lines, I guess it's just a case of the blind leading the blind But, I'm flippin and steppin' and rockin' the roll, take the control Payin' my tolls, whose in control? I'm playin' a roll so people will remember that I'm just a servant of rap, hopin to bring it back
It's a new day but it all feels old It's a good life thar's what i'm told But everything it all just feels the same and my high school it felt more to me like jail cell a penitentiary my time spent there it only made me see that i don't ever wanna be like you i don't wanna do the things you do i'm never gonna hear the words you say 'cause i don't ever wanna i don't ever wanna be you...don't wanna be just like you what i'm saying is this is the anthem throw all your hands up you don't wanna be you go to college a university get a real job that's what they said to me but i could never live the way they want i'm gonna get by and just do my time out of step while they all get in line i'm just a minor threat so pay no mind do you really wanna be like them do you really wanna be another trend do you wanna be part of that crowd 'cause i dont ever wanna...no i don't ever wanna be you... don't wanna be just like you what i'm saying is this is the anthem throw all your hand s up you don't wanna be you shake it once thats fine shake it twice thats okay shake it three times your playing with yourself again you don't wanna be just like you what i'm saying is this is the athem throw all your hands up yuo all got to feel me sing if your with me you don't wanna be just like you this is the anthem throw all your hands up you all got to feel me sing if you with me i'll never use a rat comb.......
