Confucius MC - Light Years

It's all so dark ain't it
Take the purity of art stain it
Deny the world of all it's colour
Motherfucker drain it
It's just this feeling I've been having
Let me try explain it
All it takes
is just a day in it
My pen is like bayonet
Aware that it's a dream but I stay in it
Suspendthe disbelief when I play in it
In sight is a beautiful light I see a ray of it
I kick back builin'a spliff
After a day of shit
It's just the way that I convey my gift
While brudda's still wonder what the Matrix is
I'm long gone with the Con song
And that's magic
Anything Ilay my wand on
Dagnabit
Persistent as a crack addict
When I'm chasing a idea
I question how I'm spending my time here

Cos it's all about ideas
Since light years
Stories were passed down just like this
So read closely
There may be something you might miss
Cos it's all about ideas
Since light years
Stories were passed down just like this
So read closely
There may be something you might miss

In keeping with an old tradition
All different type of codes are hidden
But some will pass the details down with no precision
Tall tales short lived legends
Short lived lessons
But always give blessings to the short lived bredrens
Write it down to remember
Then we say it to give it life
Unlocking the secret powers in the letter
It's how you choose to use it
Your syllables may create a movement
Then again they may create confusion
This rapping is a ancient practice
There was MCs that walked the ancient atlas Understood the prison of self
And tried to paint it's captives
But they won't check it if it ain't attractive
Easier to duck the truth than look back at it Persistent as a crack addict
When I'm chasing a idea
Trying to view the place in my mind clear
Cos it's all about ideas
Since light years
Stories was passed down just by ears
