Lead to Gold

Verse 1:
I learned a lot as a cosmonaut flying through the cosmic slot
I learned about my super powers at the comic shop
Some divide reality between the devil and God
But my duality is Calvin and Hobbes
Dig it, I witness metaphysics every time I freestyle
Less of a xenophobe, more of a xenophile
Freaky child, monk to the religion of funk
I breathe boom bap and speak truth passes on my tongue
Fan of the brand new, hater of the cookie cutter rookie glove
Copycats stank like some Wookie butt
Life is less a puzzle, more like a collage
I try to make it less a struggle, more like a massage
Or a message, the wreckage of your Icarus wings
The blueprint to fly again and say ridiculous things
Who could stop at Chupacabra? Let your legend be strong
But come on, your destiny will only wait for so long

Chorus
I learned to turn lead into gold
By letting it go
It’s freedom instead of control
To get you to flow
Life uses death to grow
Today is built with yesterday’s bones

I learned to turn lead into gold
By letting it go
It’s freedom instead of control
To get you to flow
Life uses death to grow
Today is built with yesterday’s bones

Verse 2:
It takes an elevated primate to make the helicopter fly straight
The chosen ones’ opposable thumbs and eyes that dilate
We think sideways and call it reason
Rationalize days and nights and reinvent the whole seasons
Your mind’s a magic hat, pull out a Cadillac
Imagination’s the only limit, can you imagine that?
We live in dreams like memes what you think it means?
Coz you inject the meaning in it like some Twinkie cream
My tractor beams use rap schemes as gasoline
I manifest a movie, manufacture zines
When I flow like the hoover dam
Psychedelic Superman
Speak words psychic ripples return like boomerangs
Do the dang math, homie, we don’t know the half
Souls’ path develop slow like a photograph
I’m on the path like a flashlight deems at night
Open up my eyes, see the light and green my life

Chorus:
I learned to turn lead into gold
By letting it go
It’s freedom instead of control
To get you to flow
Life uses death to grow
Today is built with yesterday’s bones

I learned to turn lead into gold
By letting it go
It’s freedom instead of control
To get you to flow
Life uses death to grow
Today is built with yesterday’s bones
