[Verse 1] Twice in a blue moon, I might stumble cross thoughts like What's the meaning of life, it triggers foresight Bein able to see in lost clarity, does The money we make define prosperity, was Situations quite complex like this In ancient times of kings and goddess Isis I hold my throne alone, livin history still Feel the relevance of those in the history gone It's a body and mind but not soul, cause born Is other worldy kinds that god molds for one I do believe in bein after this shit (shit) Whether you righteous or a misfit Intrigued by the hereafter, avoid the fear factor Capture the fact that self will be here after Celebrate life and death in the same vein And those that are gone I mourn but it's from pain Live and let die, some thoughts I been thinking bout Not fascinated by death but just hear me out Live and let die, see you in the whirlwind Grandmother, see you soon when my world end
[Verse 2] Do you believe in him? Is he alive and well? Heaven and hell debated as my mind dwelled Into a place numb, from which I came from Return the innocence, now we can play dumb See I ain't like y'all (why?) I don't read much Biblical words ain't shit, fuck Jesus I just live now, perhaps regret later Don't call me atheist, I do believe that God's greater But is it in you, or is it in me Or maybe just he, defines celebrity It's sorta like telepathy the way God move me Wit hands on my soul, I'm bold but not unruly I sacrifice life an', pay the right price to Live free now, God let me be now It's a cold world, some people need heat Just give me space and a beat and I'll find retreat Say, it's a cold world, and people need heat But give me space and a beat and I'll find retreat Believe in the after life, there ain't nothin wrong wit that Cuz that we exist is fact, and fact which is truth that lack Lies, live life, life life Say life is a beautiful thing, or maybe pain is the feel we bring Just live life
[Verse 3] I'm touched by the Arrow of God, that left scars I'm praisin the atmosphere, respect Mars Cuz, we all connect beyond the laws of science Akin is the product of two beautiful migrants The new world makin ends meet a lifetime Love and experience the reason why I write rhymes So I put my all in, 'til my sky falls Crush my head, I'm dead when I write y'all Believin it now, my God's not oblivion My God is the omnipresent being in ya city and We dial long beyond the bounds of language Perhaps that's the reason why some face still full of anguish Believe in my aim, my God, and my destiny I dodge and weave 'til the game of life get the best of me Believe in my aim, my God, and my destiny I dodge and weave 'til the game of life get the best of me Come on y'all
[Outro] *Bill Moyers speaking with Joseph Campbell* Moyers: In classic Christian doctrine the material world is to be despised, and life is to be redeemed in the hereafter, in heaven, where our rewards come
But you say that if you affirm that which you deplore, you are affirming the Very world which is our eternity at the moment...? Campbell: That's what I would say. Eternity isn't some later time Eternity isn't a long time Eternity has nothing to do with time! Eternity is that dimension of here and now Which thinking and time cuts out This is it (Moyers: this is it!) If you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere And the experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life
