Letras

[Verse 1]
I could see it go
I mean, we're not on this planet to like, work, to make a living
To like to not be able to like fully engage our consciousness, you know
This music is for something like completely more
[Verse 2]
(Yeah) You know (Stepping out of that um, negative spiral)
(In each generation, we struggle with that)
(You know, thats, that's my biggest, I feel, like individually)
(If we're individually in our, um, happiest and manifesting like our)
(Fullest potential, I believe in that)
(I also, 'cause it's there, but it's just, um, potential, um)
[Verse 3]
Well so, I do think over time, until we are taught to think as individuals
Versus like as collective, as collective people
I may be in my position to have like uh, you know
My own personal success, my personal achievement
But that doesn't mean that there aren't like vast majorities of people
That don't have the same access to opportunity that I do, you know
A-and
[Verse 4]
(Yeah, yeah, but my definition of personal success though)
(Is, it's a transcendent level of seeing ourself as one in everything)
Yeah
(So, you know, we can't really be our best unless we're actually
(Positively influencing not just people, but you know, everything)
(In an environment)
Yeah, yeah
(So it's, it's that transcendent identity)
[Verse 5]
We're universal beings
But in general, like I feel like, we're here to do what we're here to do
And that's not to be like, you know, mind controlled, or depressed
Or fear mongered by the media
You know, I mean, 'cause that's really what's happening
When you look at the, you know, the history
That's been a thread all the way through
You know, and they, and they, and-and, and they, and they as in
Like I would refer to as like a power entity
Um, you know, sometimes, it's thought of as like an oligarchy
Or like, you know, kingdoms
Um, you know, like ruling class, I'm not
I'm not listening to their shit, you know and
I grew up, I grew up with enough of that
I'm done, you know
[Verse 6]
