I Am

Welcome back everybody
We're back again with Ianthesage
Now before the break Ian, you were telling us about how you've been getting
Really in tune with your spiritual side

I was, yeah

Well how 'bout you tell us a little bit more about that

The brain stays watching
But bad emotions can't stop me
Bay state walkman pack a wallop
I just been roaming
Meaning searching like the sages and the old men
The past think it got me but I been reading my omens

The future try to block me but I done worked on my tackle
Unstoppable creature, I pully you actors
Un-toppable ether, I am Nasir in battle
Seers stopping to see, peaking interest of thee

And do I seek interest from you or I just wanna feel free
Put my ‘ttachment in others, A homie that’s how it B
C, 23 letters left just to D---
Cree and when I meditate life is just Easy E

So do you see, new here so I’m paying fees
Still he beating beats at that buzzer like he a bee
I could bring out the fangs like Christopher Lee
Or I could channel the Father, Grade A apples fall from trees

Yeah, yeah
I could channel the Father, Grade A apples fall from trees
Yeah, yeah

So it sounds like you're a lot happier

Yeah you could say that, yeah I'm a... lot happier

So you've reached Enlightenment huh?
What does that mean for you?

I mean... first of all I wouldn't say I'm enlightened
And, you know I don't know, I still feel like a... like a normal person
I mean yeah I have found a lot more peace lately
But that being said

I've been thinking mainly how thinking got me all crazy
And thinking on daily struggles and maybe
How we focus on what we tryna become
Is really more an obstruction, but still we tryna sum

We stack bread and credentials the street ones
Peace done, when we all follow these weak drums, so I've been thinking
What's coming out of my gums
Is really more a reflection on what I'm tryna be

But how am I gonna be when I push that away from me
We push our dreams to the future, innocently and patiently see
But the future gon never come
The flaws in our conception of time means we undone

So when I'm thinking 'bout finding peace in a future moment that's really just me escaping and keeping the present dormant
I spend two decades truth seeking for some
Looking for all the answers but really there's only one:
I Am

I... am?
What does that mean?
Usually it's "I am something"

Exactly it's kind of just... what it is
Like, it requires no third word
"I Am" is really saying, like fuck the third word
Fuck all the labels
I'm trusting in the divinity within me...
You know, the god within me
So when I say stuff like --

See, see that's where you lost me
The god within you?
Whatchu think you some god or something?

Well no... no, I think we just might have... maybe different definitions of what --

See... I'm a god-fearing man, Ian
So I don't really like it when someone comes up here thinking they some god or something

Oh I didn't mean any sort of disresp --

I think it's time you get the fuck off my show
