[Verse 1: Esoterik] Yeah, yo Born to be free and evolve as people So I’m immune to the doomed cold hold of evil I’m escapin’ the future where your brain’s a computer Find me in the kush bush, baby, blazin’ my buddha (yeah) I’m in tune with the infinite, I can see through lies It’s time to tell you what I’m honestly thinking (what’s that?) This country’s suicide rate is like way too high And I know we got a problem with drinking I am way too deep to just live in a cage I see signs of slavery in a minimum wage My spirit’s a flame, no invisible chains A digital age full of subliminal slaves And social media is like overfeeding us (unplug) Without us knowing it’s gon’ blind our views What’s the effect of too much information on the brain? Well no doubt we gon’ find out soon, yo [Pre-Chorus: imbi the girl] I was stuck tryna think about a way out With the world tellin’ me that I should lay down But I’m wide awake now Tell ‘em, “I’m wide awake now” (I’m wide awake now) And it feel like we’re livin’ with our eyes closed (eyes closed) With our heads in the bed or in our iPhones (iPhones) But I’m wide awake now You can build your maze, I’m not phased, I’ma find my way out [Chorus: imbi the girl] You cannot hold me down, my Soul cannot touch the ground, no Tell ‘em, “How you like me now?” We won’t be pushed around anymore You cannot hold us down Soul cannot touch the ground, no Find us in the lost and found We won’t be pushed around anymore [Verse 2: Spazzy D] Tell me your purpose, tell me you’re not your verses Tell me you wasn’t jacking women and snatchin’ their purses Tell me the truth, tell me honesty don’t make you nervous I wanna fly, I wanna levitate, I hate the surface My life is a circus, I’m livin’ with curses God love me but He hate that I don’t visit the churches Pay a visit to nurses when I’m losin’ my mind I kindly beg ‘em for service and then I leave ‘em behind Gotta go, gotta levitate, back on my grind Back pains from the hustle on the back of my spine Spittin’ crack, take a break, and then I’m back with a line Back to back, I never slack, packin’ a dime Dope, I’m sayin’ dope ‘cause it’s dope when I rhyme Got snow ski slope, slope jumpin’ is fine And I know you'll never find nothin’ doper than mine And I know you getting’ sober so come over and climb, we goin’ up [Pre-Chorus: imbi the girl] I was stuck tryna think about a way out With the world tellin’ me that I should lay down But I’m wide awake now Tell ‘em, “I’m wide awake now” (I’m wide awake now) And it feel like we’re livin’ with our eyes closed (eyes closed) With our heads in the bed or in our iPhones (iPhones) But I’m wide awake now You can build your maze, I’m not phased, I’ma find my way out [Chorus: imbi the girl] You cannot hold me down, my Soul cannot touch the ground, no Tell ‘em, “How you like me now?” We won’t be pushed around anymore You cannot hold us down Soul cannot touch the ground, no Find us in the lost and found We won’t be pushed around anymore [Bridge: Esoterik] Said fuck what you heard, man I’m up with the birds, watch me levitate Said Throw it in the air and let everyone stare, watch you levitate And deep inside I got a need to fly, watch me levitate They want ya bound to the ground But I ain’t comin’ down, watch me levitate Man, fuck what you heard I am up with the birds, watch me levitate Throw it in the air And let everybody stare, watch you levitate And deep inside I got a need to fly, watch me levitate They want ya bound to the ground But I ain’t comin’ down, watch me levitate [Pre-Chorus: imbi the girl] I was stuck tryna think about a way out With the world tellin’ me that I should lay down But I’m wide awake now Tell ‘em, “I’m wide awake now” (I’m wide awake now) And it feel like we’re livin’ with our eyes closed (eyes closed) With our heads in the bed or in our iPhones (iPhones) But I’m wide awake now You can build your maze, I’m not phased, I’ma find my way out [Chorus: imbi the girl] You cannot hold me down, my Soul cannot touch the ground, no Tell ‘em, “How you like me now?” We won’t be pushed around anymore You cannot hold us down Soul cannot touch the ground, no Find us in the lost and found We won’t be pushed around anymore [Spoken Outro: Esoterik] Don't—Don't—Don’t waste it, get your head out of the rat race, and forget about the superficial things that preoccupy your existence, and get back to what’s important now right now, this very second. And I’m not saying “Drop everything and let the world come to a grinding halt”, I’m saying “You could become a seeker, you could be loving more. You could be taking more chances, you could be living more. You could be spending more time with your family. You could be getting in touch with the part you that lives instead of fears. The part of you that loves instead of hates." Bless up
