Do It Today 02:27
I feel spurred to do more than you can do I don't under- stand you. Can't you get into position listen to me as I plan to handle any situation that I'm facin'. You're comp lacent as a damn fool. Life hands you opportunities that tend to pass you up cause you stay stuck like a tattoo. Nutty like a cashew, somebody should slap you. Takin' any snafu, makin' sure I crash through. You hatin' on a brotha? Well then, ain't nobody asked you. People wanna kick it with me everytime I pass through. That's true; Oh well... ridin' on my coattails so hard that I'm 'bout to take you to a hotel. I'm so swell with it that I expand. Not the next man, dogg, it's supply and demand. We won't stop 'till the whole world's inside of our hand with earthquakes and volcanoes dividing the land. But most folks say tomorrow. More time to borrow. Time equals money paid back in sorrow. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. But most folks say tomorrow. More time to borrow. Time equals money paid back in sorrow. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. People sleepin' on their time while I'm keepin it in line. I illuminate the sky; people think that it's a sign, believing it's divine. I'm creepin' through the vine, while I'm thinkin' on my mind and believing I can climb to the top Never on a dime will I stop. I outshine what you block 'cause I'm not what you thought. No need to persuade me to get paid. With eyes like a hawk, I drop on the prize. To deep to defeat, you for- got I was wise and I'm not too surprised to surmise and conclude: your findings are crude. These Haters are slow so it's time to intrude. I'd like to be rude for a moment on this microphone while I hold it and grasp it: everything about you – every facet – says that you need to get up off your ass quick! 'Cause most folks say tomorrow. More time to borrow. Time equals money paid back in sorrow. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. But most folks say tomorrow. More time to borrow. Time equals money paid back in sorrow. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. We do it today. Now it's done.

I'm on a different level, another echelon. People acting like they're never wrong need to get along.... And don't be late. What is this thing fate, that you refer to like it was a keepsake? Could it be fake or is it real? Let me understand. Maybe it is something we can feel from the motherland. Look up at the planets as they cremate. Every- body's living in a dream state. Can you re- late for a second, sit down for a talk? Kick Back for a minute come with me for a walk on a journey down a pathway, filled with ashtrays that's riddled with hash blazed from people of past days. Reflect for a moment on your life, don't forget that you're golden even if it ain't right. Despite all the omens Compile components tonight, and take your life to a new height 'cause you never know... Maybe we all just drift, maybe our will is true. No matter what exists, this day was meant for you. Maybe we all just drift, maybe our will is true. No matter what exists, this day was meant for you. What if you are just a machine that is actively navigating through it's own virtual reality while life is a dream you experience passively with the audacity to contemplate mortality, and you are casually made a participant to assimilate stimuli that is imminent? Wait... Does that mean that we're sentient, let alone intelligent? No, that's irrelevant, so... examine your life with passion insight and a match you can light during darkness. Blindness and hardships dissolve with your actions like fashion like Pac-Sun not unlike your sharpness. It's time we embark on this journey for miles in terror. We all need some trial and error – to look for life that is fairer if feasible. I just hope the goals that you make are believable. Maybe we all just drift, maybe our will is true. No matter what exists, this day was meant for you. Maybe we all just drift, maybe our will is true. No matter what exists, this day was meant for you. [REPEAT] [Maybe we all just drift, maybe our will is true. No matter what exists, this day was meant for you.]

I walk into the place & I'm lookin' legit. So cool everybody starts losing their grip, And their eyes look alive as they try to protect the way they feel inside as they try to assess me as a threat against what they believe. Label me a risk & fix what they perceive as a defect... or exotic object. You're too obsessed, I guess, but off the topic. I know everybody's just gotta survive, but what you don't realize is you've got a disguise. I can see right through it 'cause I'm looking beyond, and I know you just want to belong, so stay calm with it. Ain't nothin' wrong with it; try to pretend. I'mma keep on smiling and setting a trend. So keep trying to comprehend how I'm being the bomb, while everybody in the crowd's goin along... HOOK (2x) People actin' like I don't know what they're thinking about... Yeah! People don't know that I know what they're thinking about... yeah... I really don't know what you're thinking about. Well, I guess I might know just a little amount. You wanna smile while you hide just a ripple of doubt. And now triple the count, like a tidal wave trickling out, you transmit what you crave making your face a magnet. It's easy to find, you think you're deceiving the mind. But I wish you could see the benign elephant in the room. I think people look and they try to assume, But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm still gonna resume being immune, and disconnect because I got leave negativity you project. I gotta try to correct this imbalance. So I respond like I'm in a dojo. You're making me yawn. I'm beyond a challenge. But you can be calm and act like you don't know I know you know HOOK (2x)

I was trying to meditate, and trying to climb to a higher elevation inside of the mind. Beginning to find a place where I'm finally free. Get away from the day and define what is me, but I'm not where I wanna be yet. Every day is a pain in the neck, and it has an affect. So I gotta project into another land and try to connect to something that understand I felt lost in a trance, so I took a chance to focus on the heart. I'm in a circumstance and it could fall apart in my hands from the start so it's critical to focus on the present and physical will. I'm headed for a journey that is pivotal through my subliminal mind and it couldn't be real. Just focus on the way that you feel. Nothing could prepare me that day. I fell into a dream but was torn away. I remember all the love overcome by fear. Simple moment so clear, so clear, so clear. And when I go back I know what I'll do then. I'll try to make everything right again. I can see it far away so I know it's still here. Simple moment so clear, so clear, so clear, right here, right now. Infinite images so vivid, bellowing into thick clouds. Delivering me where I'm bound. Suspended and floating around past the limit. I'm in it and seeing a sound that ripples the air whenever I shout as I call for a way to get out on the ground 'cause I don't know what this is about. I don't know just where I'm at. A dimensional parallax. And I can't relax, so I try to return but I just collapse my left side like a heart attack and my eyeball's farther back. then I realize that somebody tries to describe how I can arrive. I awake to a land of paper mâché that's fake, but I do know that I am alive. Nothing could prepare me that day. I fell into a dream but was torn away. I remember all the love overcome by fear. Simple moment so clear, so clear, so clear. And when I go back I know what I'll do then. I'll try to make everything right again. I can see it far away so I know it's still here. Simple moment so clear, so clear, so clear, right here, right now. I yearn to return, but I see the challenges. My analysis: everything seems so free and fabulous, but I get stuck in a dream paralysis. Fact is, I could fly again through the oxygen and the nitrogen. If I try to win, my mind begins the limiting product of my own conditioning. And the people I speak to see a facade like it's all in my head and I'm being a fraud. I'm not playing a trick. I'm just being legit. This whole plane of existence is infinite. If you disagree, well eventually, when we leave this place of the sensory, then we'll see. So I'm not gonna place any bets. But until then I'll never forget... Nothing could prepare me that day. I fell into a dream but was torn away. I remember all the love overcome by fear. Simple moment so clear, so clear, so clear. And when I go back I know what I'll do then. I'll try to make everything right again. I can see it far away so I know it's still here: simple moment so clear, so clear, so clear.

Momentum 03:14
You're in a place where you feel no limit, until it gets cold and everything's so frigid. Did it, really happen in a flash or a minute? Second, how could anyone relate? You're trying to escape from mistakes of the past, and trying to do your best to accept all the stress. So whatever it takes, you gotta make it last. But I know you'll manifest every step, nonetheless if you've got Momentum... if I'm alive, then you are guiding my intention. So if we try, then we will rise. There's no exception. And I don't mind 'cause I believe in you to help me grow, building momentum to get me through. Spend time rejuvenate the mind and visualize getting it done, never behind. Every goal and ambition defining your whole grind. You can find a gold mine inside of your soul, mind & body. I'm so blind I didn't see it before. But I don't mind cause I'm aligned with a detour I can climb so I see more. I'm finally restored. Instead of asking for less, I'm trying to be more. And if they narrow the passage, I'll know where it's going there's no need to deny. My, my, my Momentum... If I'm alive, then you are guiding my intention. So if we try, then we will rise. There's no exception. And I don't mind 'cause I believe in you to help me grow, building momentum to get me through. If I'm alive, then you are guiding my intention. So if we try, then we will rise. There's no exception. And I don't mind 'cause I believe in you to help me grow, building momentum to get me through. [Ad lib over solo] And if they narrow the passage, I'll know where it's going there's no need to deny. There's no need to deny, I know we can fly.

Status Quo 02:38
People just believe what's going on, even if they think it's wrong. They just keep going along and conform. A pawn once they're born, looking for a place to belong yet forlorn. Stay calm don't mourn and focus and listen like you're in the lotus position and holding a prism that's refracting what you're re- flecting exactly what you're as you're expecting, un- masking what you're protecting without asking. And there will always be an unknown, but as long as you can come home, you can at least go back to you're beliefs. But instead people think they can hide and it's weak. But I think it's time that we find a tweak. As long as I can speak, I have a suggestion: ask every question you can as long as you exist in this land. It isn't a demand, but it is a good plan (don't you think?) All I want is to ask a question about a world that I do not know. Whatchu hide? Let me see inside of the status quo or it has to go. All I want is to ask a question about a world that I do not know. Whatchu hide? Let me see inside of the status quo or it has to go. Well, maybe not, 'cause it has its place, but, "State-of-affairs", let me make a case: Don't erase evidence or attempt escape or misrepresent what I estimate. I conform to norms & support the facts, but enough of that, it won't justify an ideology perpetuated by animals who claim they're “civilized”! Hypocritical individuals afraid to debate and they're frail and pitiful. I hate to be cynical, but listen to me. There's a whole wide world, fam, didn't you see? Well eventually, if you open your brain. Accept information, let go of the shame. I know it's a pain but I'm saving you time. I'm doing the same and I'm fine (get it?) All I want is to ask a question about a world that I do not know. Whatchu hide? Let me see inside of the status quo or it has to go. All I want is to ask a question about a world that I do not know. Whatchu hide? Let me see inside of the status quo or it has to go. Some people weird, some people cool Some people fear, some people hate Some people steal, some people buy Some people real, some people fake All I want is to ask a question about a world that I do not know. Whatchu hide? Let me see inside of the status quo or it has to go.

When I was young I used to hide from pain. I didn't try to change, and it was kind of strange how all the demons I was running from were getting harder to outru-un. Whoa... I used to notice how you pull my weight and you would try to save me from my own mistakes But wait, I understand that you need a helping hand so I know that something's gotta be done, though. I thought this would be over forever ago (ago) But no... Now I wake up every morning and I already know, I know... Woke up this morning, or at least I tried Outside is calling but the dream is still inside I can feel the carpet, underneath my feet so I should get started even though I am complete. Gotta take a deep breath, and begin this day. Nothing is perfect but it's like that anyway. No mistake, I'm in the shade but I see the sunshine so you can have a little peace of mind. Sometimes you ask me if I need your help. I'll do it all myself, I want nobody else. But then you see the look inside my eyes and you can feel these lies in disguise. Though, when I'm alone at home I ask myself, “How did I get into all of these things I do?” But then I think about the work we've done it's like I've just become so numb. I thought this would be over forever ago (ago) But no... Now I wake up every morning and I already know, I know... Woke up this morning, or at least I tried Outside is calling but the dream is still inside I can feel the carpet, underneath my feet so I should get started even though I am complete. Gotta take a deep breath, and begin this day. Nothing is perfect but it's like that anyway. No mistake, I'm in the shade but I see the sunshine so you can have a little peace of mind. I know that you worry 'bout me and it's easy to see. But I got my affairs together and complete So you don't have lose any sleep at night, no... Woke up this morning, or at least I tried Outside is calling but the dream is still inside I can feel the carpet, underneath my feet so I should get started even though I am complete. Gotta take a deep breath, and begin this day. Nothing is perfect but it's like that anyway. No mistake, I'm in the shade but I see the sunshine so you can have a little peace of mind. Peace of mind. Have a little peace of mind, yeah. Some peace of mind. Have a little peace of mind. Some peace of mind. Have a little peace of mind, yeah. Peace of mind. Have a little peace of mind.

about

This is my second studio album. After "A Way Out", I coincidentally found a way out of my circumstances. However, the album was multiple genres and hard to find a core audience. Thus, "Conscious Core" is meant for the conscious hip-hop listener. Not just "woke" for it's own sake, but philosophically critical at a deeper level.

TL;DR: It's conscious hip-hop to the core.
