〈Foreword: Scuba Yoga〉
The feeling that there isn’t enough time
That’s the greatest lie
You know what I’m saying?
That’s what I think
Cause all we have is time
That’s all we have
Time isn’t money…ain’t no sense in saving time
It’s not like there’s a bank for time
You got what you got, you know what I’m saying?
And you spend it from that moment forward
There’s a time for everything
So it’s not like…
It’s not like I’m like “nah imma just spend my time on this or on that”
Nah you can’t spend time on…
There’s a time for everything
There are some times I think time, love, and god is like the holy trinity
You know what I’m saying? Like they all the same thing
I mean…
That’s just an intuitive thought, it ain’t real
Some people follow god cause they don’t want to go to hell
Some people follow god cause they know following god outcome gonna be their true best self
It’s almost like time is the only thing that’s like internally yours
It’s like time is like your spirit
You know what I’m saying?
When it’s your time it’s your time
Why fear that, why fear yourself in that way?
It’s September 3rd, 2020
And you know, funny part is
It used to be April 14th, 2019
And I just kinda say that to say…
You know…
Ha, it’s just a fact
Yeah yeah
Gotta make the most of the time that we know we got
Make peace with the boulders, know I shoulder a lot
Used to use this as an avenue for venting the steam
Now I’m older and hold it in til I’m coughing
But know I had my share of stroganoffs
Everybody want to be king
I just wanna clear the roadblocks
They told me the sun’s out
The water’s fine
But I know that once a beating start then it don’t stop
Till it’s all been finished
Ain’t no skipping through it gotta live it
No checkpoints, no scrimmage
Try your best to not regret what couldn’t be forgiven
But the truth is always in the eye of the beholder
So yours’ might not fit in
With the same patches blocking out my vision
But whether not you keep track time still ticking
Living in a era focused on who’s winning
As if it’s normal that we cape for villains
But everybody looking for a cactus in the sun
So easy to fall for some false comfort
Take it and run
Cause once it run dry gonna need a new one
Done everything in your power to keep on trucking
But always out the frying pan into a f#cking oven
Live in excess of everything but genuine loving
And yet you still feeling the need to ask who cutting onions
We all searching for true love
Know it’s so much more than just blood
Not familiar with drawing familial lines by whose f#cked
It’s bout who is it you really trust
Underneath all of the thorns you been building up
Tell the kid who seen war not to bring it up
Asking why we need any more of these same adults who be quick to crown dunce when they can’t understand something
Never know what ripples you send
That gon need making amends
But can’t keep living back then
Only hurting those who with you in the present
Don’t you get it?
This all you ever getting
No manual
So take a manual breath
And get to stepping with intention
