Observe Lyrics by Jalal Salaam

Past Lives

0

[Intro: Sample and *Jalal Salaam*]
When you hear the gong strike one
You may open your eyes
And in time you will look around
And quickly observe your surroundings *(Yea, yea, yea, yea)*
[Verse: Jalal Salaam]
Take a breath, observe your surroundings
Pay attention, everything's connected
Life is so ephemeral but so eventful
Geometries in a flower petal
Dichotomies, oh dichotomies!
I find refuge back in my breathing
Results bare more repeating
Halt an onslaught, carry their karma
Salt of the earth, all these seeds, I feel like a farmer
Oh how I love to garden
Guard the sacred from the profaneness
Still both are related
I got a mind like a monkey
I'm just trying to tame it
Even the bear climbs the tree
To get a piece of the honey
He doesn't care about them bee stings
He's just trying to eat things
Not all of them are cuddly
You are what you eat
And who you keep in your company
Everyone wants the money
But they don't want to work daily
I just want to feed my family
Suffering deserves much respect
Still both pain and pleasure are temporary
Nothing lasts it's like a fleeting memory
Everything runs on energy
What's a friend without some enemies?
My best opponent helped me more than any one of my homies
He taught me what's really important, what's intrinsic
And doesn't rely on something to begin with
What's melanin without the lack of pigment?
They attached but steady act distant
Keep focused
Turn the poison into potent medicine
That's ultimate perfection
Take a breathe
Observe your surroundings
Pay all your attention
