[00:50.16] I've been on that peace, black Dalai Lama
[00:52.92] My college was between Stony and Cottage
[00:55.07] The knowledge, I got it because niggas was 'bout it

[01:43.19] In dystopian ground zero from xenophobia
[01:45.76] They love to trope me and misquote me, they even wrote me
[01:48.06] Out of all accounts other than shoulderin' small amounts
[01:50.53] 'Til I called them out, I'm what this story is all about
[01:52.94] My arrival wasn't willingly, nah, but that's chillingly
[01:56.14] The truth, now I fear from shots from cops killin' me
[01:58.62] They on the hunt for the blood, and we the auxiliary
[02:01.67] The Black power and love, I'm all the above

[02:05.70] And every piece of the puzzle, every article, the page
[02:08.75] I'm at peace in the struggle, I'm awake and not afraid
[02:11.11] While I'm channelin' my energy from particle to wave

[02:21.57] Keep me out of your gossip column
[02:23.63] Thank you, I'm calm and tranquil at the time and place too
[02:25.91] I shine, word to God, I'm divine, and graceful
