Lyrics

Kenny Diaz ft. A-Butta - "Transcend" [Emcee(s): A-Butta] [Producer(s): Kenny Diaz] [Intro: Sample from Bill Hicks] "Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather" [Verse 1: A-Butta] Throughout The life cycles of all mundane, humane species I spit feces to teach these fleas what a real Flow 'posed to sound like, not your average, everyday Catchy clichés and soundbites. I'll pound mics with Ill rhymes with design as vintage as wine Split images from the mind. It's like I got The spirits of Biggie, Pac, and Pun in me with 1- -51 in me. Watch me get dumb busy as I Rot under the Sun—it gives me the strength for my flesh To perish in the dirt. We're worth whatever Material gain we achieve on this Earth. Is it a jinx? I believe it's a curse. Whatever, yo, I'm still Broke as a joke and hopeless as the pope, flow Vocals out of my throat for folks to quote. I know It's strange, but you have to maintain from a Range Rover To the back of the train. We're all the same, man [Hook: A-Butta] No matter who you are, if you Believe in yourself, you's a superstar. Pick up A pen or paintbrush. It ain't much to express yourself And let your thoughts transcend themselves—rock on No matter who you are, if you Believe in yourself, you's a superstar. Pick up A pen or paintbrush. It ain't much to express yourself And let your thoughts transcend [Verse 2: A-Butta] Since a little adolescent, I was known for this rapping profession And I take it as a blessing. God knows How hard I try. My eyes are as dry as the Sun Inside, my heart cries tons of pain Lungs aflame, blunts of fire. Once admired by many Now I'm just enough to try and retire. Though I'm On a higher plane than most, don't gross millions But, overall, them niggas is still feeling him Comedian chameleon raps, funny how they change Money, power, fame, it's all the same, it's peace I say, "Peace," to anyone who makes it 'cause for Every supporter, there's someone who hates him. It's logic I'm like The Hobbit trapped in a cage for days, blazing My chronic, praying for stardom with a .38 Revolver by my waistline just in case I decide I Hate my life, each day and night's a fight with My inner conscious. Shit is nonsense like I'm In a mosh pit within the darkness, quick to roll up An L and spark it and dwell upon where I started from Square one, son. Shit's retarded—woah [Hook: A-Butta] Yo, no matter who you are, if you Believe in yourself, you's a superstar. Pick up A pen or paintbrush. It ain't much to express yourself And let your thoughts transcend themselves—rock, rock on No matter who you are, if you Believe in yourself, you's a superstar. Pick up A pen or paintbrush. It ain't much to express yourself And let your thoughts transcend [Bridge: A-Butta] (x2) Ayyo You know what this means to me My life, my rhymes, my dignity. I got Sixteen bars for y'all people to see that I Love this, I love this [Verse 3: A-Butta] From the Quran to the Bible, thoughts form like Voltron And strike a vital point in your nerve, it's words that Make people feel superior, but they really can't Be serious, are they? Grand Marnier The 8-ball's the yay'. Stay wacked-out all day Can't count how many times I laid passed-out Took the fast route looking through a glass house, had To back out of the trouble and double-up on the hustle It's all love though, cuzzo. Never was No hostility. Niggas not feeling me? My mind is my artillery, and I will empty A full clip on all of the bullshit amongst us Youngsters, gangsters, O.G.s' hands out For more cheese, but I promote peace, and there Never will be a ceasefire 'til we each realize Our potential inside, transcend [Hook: A-Butta] No matter who you are, if you Believe in yourself, you's a superstar. Pick up A pen or paintbrush. It ain't much to express yourself And let your thoughts transcend themselves—rock, rock on No matter who you are, if you Believe in yourself, you's a superstar. Pick up A pen or paintbrush. It ain't much to express yourself And let your thoughts transcend
