The Alchemist

So here we go
Money was never the motivation
But I never took it slow never tried out meditation
I didn’t want to be hung up on cash
Buying clean powders and other forms of medication
Always held the middle ground
True neutral I acted mediation
I felt like money would become the iron
Curtain that took too much to break down
Hinder the creation and blur the imagination
Till we were too blind to see the real truth
It’s like who doesn’t like money
I’d love to stack it up
But on the flip side, I’d prefer to stack the love
Another stream another play is heavier
Than a pocket full of gold medallions

I’m not normal maybe I’m a little crazier
Than the average folk on the street but
I know bills don’t pay themselves
And I know money opens up many roads
But whilst I’m well fed and well rested
The beats pay the bills of my freedom
They buy the in-app purchases to the base of my happiness
They mark my roots, the streets and homes, where I came from
And so its an anchor I don’t wanna lose but one I wanna express
So maybe things will change when I’m beginning to feel the need
For money and fancy clothes or maybe just the basics
But for now it takes the back seat you can ask me wheres the money
I’ll reply man forget that life’s out and about enjoying it while its sunny

Working two jobs with a future worth 6 digit salaries
I might be hypocritical but when it comes to music
My gold medal is the number by the play button not
The reciept that comes from distributors saying here’s your pay
I’ll take it as a plus but It’ll never be my weapon
Because I don’t wanna be at war with this world I want peace to happen
John Lennon had similar views too but I’m not trying to imagine
Because I’m already living life above this ocean of cash
Above this ocean of cash, take your ocean of cash
Above this ocean of cash, take your ocean of cash

Its like a long winded journey across the seven seas
Battling the seven sins, winters and the breeze
Guided by the love of adventure call me a shepherd
I need to meet my king of Salem to find my me treasure
Its like a long winded journey across the seven seas
Battling the seven sins, winters and the breeze
Guided by the love of adventure call me a shepherd
I need to meet my king of Salem to find my me treasure
