[Intro: DJ Packo]
Stars fade like memory the instant before dawn
Low in the east, the sun appears golden as an opening eye
That which can be named must exist
That which can be named can be written
That which is written shall be remembered
That which is remembered lives
In the land of Egypt Osiris breathes
The sun rises and mists disperse
As I am, I was, and I shall be a thing of matter and heaven
[Verse 1]
One, calling mission control this is our statement
It’s a race against time, and past the deadline
Still we can make it if we try
And it must be a sign that the planets are aligned
The window is narrow but delivery is possible
Reverse engineer the future down to the particles
Like you had it in your hand, the akashic almanac
All you gotta to do is drop the needle and sample that
What was once a drip, is now an avalanche
Of ideas coming in heavy, pours when it rains on your habitat
Fill the cup to the brim and it overfows, status quo overthrow
Used to put the pro in procrastination
Prioritize is the name of the game
You watch so much gloss of the products it blinds you
Unless you nerd out, the way will not come find you
Put the word out, your sphere of infuence
Dismiss peripheral noise and circumference
You know your power lies within your radius
The core burns eternal with the fre that created us
It all starts from the mind, individual
You are the center of the universe integral
The architect of the castle invisible
Savvy time traveler of astroplanes intervals
So getting back to the thesis of this album
It’s a fable that spins on the turntable
Tested to the limit as to what encompasses an audio presentation
More than a fast track, more like a life raft
Similes and metaphors as vehicles and vessels perhaps
On both sides, we aim to expand the scope
For songs you can call your friends and say it’s dope
[Chorus]
Calling mission control, this is our statement
Free the androids trapped in duality
We got to tell ’em this world is a fallacy
Wake up the masses dying in a fantasy
[Verse 2]
Forget the wordplay, nah I’m serious
The present climate can make us all furious
Nobody ventures into inneresting areas
The industry NASA model, nefarious
A lot of budget in a name and a face
They can hype you up and put you up in space
And then film your fate
Take you there just to broadcast to the world
We’re going past the frontier looking for the pearl
Our vision unwavering freedom we’re savoring
Everyday roam galaxies neighboring
Still highjack the mainframe time to time
Control interfaces, easy like pantomime
Sing your heart out, let guitars cry
Let the keys talk, tell a story feet high
I’m not a superstar astronaut
But I’mma fly my ship whether they like it or not
I’m a hustler, a punk prodigy
Never once did it for the money, just do it for my progeny
It’s all relativity my kin, my afinity started in ’93 to infinity
Trailblazer with an eco sensibility
Shapeshifting alter-ego versatility
Repping my ethos to the best of my ability
I got the dope paint to color my reality
[Chorus]
Calling mission control, this is our statement
Free the androids trapped in duality
We got to tell ’em this world is a fallacy
Wake up the masses dying in a fantasy
