Intro for "The Elements"

lyrics

Bismillah (In the Name of God)

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to The Elements

Fire, Air, Water, Earth
The Elements

Nature, and lovers
And science, and summers
And lions, and hunters
I will not be above
The rest I, be humble

And One Love,
I will be
the last one
to swim deep

In the deep end where I can't swim
In this big blue vast and calming
Soul-Ocean

And I sleep and dream about
My pen and paper think about writin
poems

The canvas is the paper and the mindspace with the pen are the potions

Like magic

I make entire worlds so vibrant that I'm just so gone

Ay yo it's verbal alchemy
I'm usin' abtruse words absurd to create magic see
The canvas leaves, I stampen thee

I can talk about governments
The corruption of just some of them,
Or nothingness, destruction of the crumbling

Ruins of my heart, darkened by the evil wind that society has brought
And I was always taught to share with others, create peace, and avoid drugs

But my nation has become such that it became commonplace
But soon shall be the day when it will become just too late

The Last Day will surely come
So before that happens, listen to what the Prophet said

Through my rhymes I educate, create an abstract world
Through which those without a voice can now be suddenly heard

And I will

Teach through my rhymes

Speak

With the time that it takes

To say what I've got to say

And this is not the ending or the beginning

It's a page

In the book of ruminations
That I created today

And I hope you will all listen
And make your own book, hey
