"These are my indictments for those who claim to be righteous
and leave a trail of broken hearts on their way to enlightenment.
But I can't get into hate and pass judgment
even towards every illusion I've been in love with.
Because the heart that betrays itself willingly
is like the nation that trades freedom for stability.
It's so seductive to be cold and corrupted,
and isolated, tryin' to be a independent republic.
But liberty to be loved on the surface is worthless:
the sacrifice of revolution with no purpose.
Take it from the criminal searching for his redemption
cursing at God trying to desperately get his attention"
--- Immortal Technique - Crimes of the Heart - The 3rd World
Carpe Diem, the philosophy I've come to embrace
on the trek to find my self with God [pleading my case].
I no longer wanna straddle the fence of the agnostic,
[but] due to my success, within my flesh, I've become a hostage.
My light doesn't shine anymore [the dimmer switch has darkened the filament];
I was the Sun but now I'm a star in the skies of ignorance.
My heart's become hate, trapped within the frozen puddle
now dispensing soul's reflection, soaked in subtle hypocrisy.
I've disgraced my own name because I'm living life logically;
consistent with the secular realm - an illogisitc dichotomy.
I haven't lost faith but I've misplaced my spirituality.
Hope an ocean is created for relationship to float in reality.
'cause now I'm trapped in the storm's eye [these heavy rains I can't handle]
Need to become a lighthouse instead of a flickering candle.
Need to rededicate my life - don't know if I'm ready.
I know I have to make a choice, but I wish He would make me.
I've strayed from the path predestined for me.
I'm ill now but walking right I'd be an iller emcee.
I know I can overcome this rut because God put it in me
but I have to find it [stop walking the earthly road blinded].
Every word written is God-given, this is my theory.
I'm in a place now that doesn't compare to where I could be.
I know I can overcome this rut because God put it in me
but I have to find it [stop walking the earthly road blinded].
