Verse 1: Peace Manuel
I get into deep shit, and I let you understand
From a militant man
Got this mic in my hand so let’s stand
Eye-to-eye, I’ll get to know ya
And when my times up, I’ll have to die like solider
With my Jesus piece up to my chest next to where my breath stop
But while I’m still here on earth I have to get my message through cause uh
They makin’ stations in this trippy nation
Stimulatin’ kids to moderate and the goal is to racially divide
Killin’ another brother off and makin’ him feel deprived
Makin’ hard to stay alive
And it's the system say fuck it and find the truth within you
Find your purpose serve this microphone do what you gotta do to get home
Hook (x2):
Every day I seek to find
K.o.Y
Knowledge of Yourself the only way to live your life
Every day I seek to find
K.o.Y
Knowledge of Yourself the only way to love your life
Verse 2: Thetic
Search within the soul, find what’s within
Takes time, motivation to gain relation with the pen
Weighing out sediments to maintain some relevance
Fiends know the name and the game that you stay slangin’
Prayin’ for a miracle, still consumed by darkness
Spiritual being still searching for the guidance
You seek it in a scripture, living life is my reliance
Yours is filled with compliance
Time to fulfill the wishes of one’s heart
Have you learned from the past?
Pursued the real dream?
Gained inner vision to stop living like simpleton?
I am symbolism of a Willow Tree
I see the world so differently, Neo in the trilogy
I took red pill not forcibly, but on my own will
Form your own opinion, don't listen to the masses
Believe in what you see and hear, little brotha you are a part of the distraction
Hook (x2):
Every day I seek to find
K.o.Y
Knowledge of Yourself the only way to live your life
Every day I seek to find
K.o.Y
Knowledge of Yourself the only way to love your life
Verse 3: Peace Manuel
Look into the instrumental it’s essentially deep
It could make you delirious, but never deleterious to your mental peep
What I speak is something to experience
Knowledge of yourself is one of the main ingredients to Hip Hop
I’ll send you love and unity
And hopes that you fend to know who you be
Cause trippin’ over the color of your skin is dumb
It doesn't matter where ya from, but of what you become
All hoods, tribes, and nations under a single sun
While they took rights from the people by the use of guns
Schools are funded by government so I don't trust it
Let’s free all of our children from the mental chains that are rusted
And break free from oppression and kick these rhymes daily
I speak what’s on my mind and people wanna try to tame me
But I would never quit, so they say that I ain’t shit
Bitch, I know my flow is sick and imma spit until your face green
These rhymes are all I got, and I ain’t ever stoppin’ it
One thing they never wanna see a playa be is competent
Never lose I stay on it, flawlessly till they pay homage
While these sucka’s drinkin’ brews, I say do whatcha gotta do to get home
Hook (x2):
Every day I seek to find
K.o.Y
Knowledge of Yourself the only way to live your life
Every day I seek to find
K.o.Y
Knowledge of Yourself the only way to love your life
Verse 4: Thetic
Hacked into your processor, hard to make out somethin’ like a cross-dresser
Gained access to the sector also known as one’s brain
No knowledge, no wisdom
Distortions and commotions found within the mainframe
A war between evil and good something like Bruce Wayne and the almighty Bane
People scared of change
Instead you embrace, the amity of life
The truth that you seek cannot be found within the light
There will be hardships, times of dyer pain
As you’re drenched in the rain, the idea will spark
Electrified that your journey to light will slowly embark
All aboard!
Just watch out for the sharks, these waters you can’t trust
The mermaids are superb, but all they symbolize is lust
Stay on your path, yourself you must trust
Forget the nay sayers cause they’re always gonna fuss
The ones that jumped ship
Nightmares come about, time to be a man kid
Go through the trails, defeat all your demons
Some will still remain
Tranquility and positivity up in the brain
To dwell within the light is where thou shall stay, you’re the only blockade
Life is like a chess game, thought and precautions in every step you take
One false move, game over
Checkmate!
