"CAPTURE THE ESSENCE"

(Verse 1)
I seek the path of the Tao or the Buddha with laughter
in the mountains sipping chai tea with tai chi masters,
as I polish my craft I learn through hindsight after
I turn a page in life and I start a new chapter,
try and capture the essence I feel in my heart,
good and evil, need the light to escape from the dark,
motivation to succeed and create is the spark
that gets me started but the hardest part's translating it to art,
I walk the unpaved road steps adjacent
to those I never met that seek the same destination,
the problems we face are so old they next to ancient
so I take a deep breath guess the stress tests my patience,
far from famous, I keep a low pro,
move in slow mo through my ups and downs like a yoyo,
as time flows my mind grows I notice what's important,
now my life consists of righteousness a feeling that was dormant

(Hook)
so long to the stress always try to rise above
just to get it off my chest so I can do the things I love

(Verse 2)
often tree'd, never stumped, got the strength I'm well rooted,
branching out til I leave and my life is concluded,
if I'm gonna do it period that's it no excuses,
the first hand experience in life is my blueprint
and I use it mold my skill to bring the heat til it's scalding hot,
try it til I get it just right like goldilocks,
even if i'm coming off the top like a balding spot
my rhymes paint pictures for the kids I got a Caldecott,
never call the cops, they be the foulest kind,
we always point the 5-0 off track like a salad grind,
get ya hands dirty put in effort, I callused mine
cuz I hold my fate in my hands and try to balance time,
it's why I always took down my foes,
see me hold my head high but never look down my nose,
I suppose though I don't go and ask a lot of questions
try to learn from mistakes and I always count my blessings
