Samadhi Amen

Feeling like a ghost of the past
When powers of observations last 
Through journeys of generations
Generated by power figures.

Flash

Heavy lighting behind my eyelids.
I see the true colors 
Beyond what is blinding.
Contract with the Earth forever binding.
Offer up my flesh 
In return for enlightenment.

Reading the fine print
Till my final minutes.
I’m mindful of my pride,
Never proud of an imprisonment.

Pointing out my pencil 
In the form of a pistol
Whipping these rhymes into shape.
Leaving my enemies disfigured.
Dismembered.
Slimming down these characters
Till their portraits resemble stick figures. 

Reassemble those lines.
Fit em’ into this bigger picture.
This is bigger than me and you.
Bigger than thoughts I’ve visioned.
Beyond the promise land.
Beyond all sight that’s given.

My words embody spirits of every word 
That was ever written.

I watch every grain of sand 
As my hourglass keeps slimming.
They say your time is limited.
Fuck that.
My mind is limitless.

Catch my reflection on that glass
As a window to my history.
See all these feelings on my face
Like they’re places that I’ve visited.

But eyes is wide and never bashful.
Sipping down that brew 
Till the glass is half full.
Make sure to laugh it off.
And take notice to watch you attached to.
Cuz’ sometimes them mental scars
Will outlast a tattoo.

You can’t out run ya past. 
It’s like panicking in quicksand.
Trying to get ahead
But feel the grips 
From Tales of Crypts’ hands.

So let yo passion be the fire
In the cold of the night.
And let every casted shadow 
Be a result of that light.

Make sure to get a hold.
But don’t hold shit in spite.
Look for them old temples
Where it looks holy inside.


This project is a sister project of The Hummingbird Effect, an extension of the song. Samadhi is a state of being, a realm, or level of consciousness that can reached during meditation. I chose Amen as the second half of the title because I believe the history of Amen is derived from Om or Aum (the sound of all creation). Samadhi Amen is a description of my level of thought and the continuation of my soul. This song has a lot to do with death and how we believe were bound to it. I often sway between two extremes that determine how i live my life. One is making decisions because i know i will die one day and i shouldn't waste any valuable experience. The other is accepting all that comes with life including when i will die because it’s all a cycle and i know I am infinite. I feel this explains how i live to the fullest based on my fear of death and how i strive for all of my thoughts and actions to transcend this life, making them larger than what they are perceived to be. I don’t know what really came before or what is to come next but i do believe my thoughts will continue on and transcend flesh and bone, life and death, creation and destruction. I only hope i can inspire others to analyze their own lives and tell their stories. We would all love to hear.

Samadhi Amen

This album is dedicated to my daughter Selena. I can't wait to meet you! 

As always, the name is inspired by Ghostface Killah, best rapper ever. If you don't know go ask som'body! 
Wisdom Body is about growing into the individual you never imagined but always knew you would be. It's growing up, really growing up, mentally. This album isnt about the music, its about the feeling. It's about telling a story and treating sound as a painting. This short 19 min, 8 track album describes the passion that drives me, i dont know where or to do what, but it motivates the shit out of me. It wakes me out of sleep, it surges through me like electricity and i cant help but do something to express how i feel. Im finally becoming the artist ive always wanted to by transcending what is popular and chasing this feeling i have. Many of you understand exactly what im talking about and can probably describe it better but the important part is pursuing that feeling. Dont let anything stand in the way of the passion that drives you.
