about

(I had just arrived in Costa Rica and I was looking for people who might be going to the Solar Sound Music Immersion Retreat when Nyrus spotted me. He was wearing a Run The Jewels T- Shirt and they are one of my favorite hip hop groups of all time. We started talking and the conversation naturally turned to our love of birds and our love of mushrooms, and from there I knew I had met a fellow kindred spirit. Upon leaving Costa Rica I cornered Nyrus and as politely as possible demanded a beat out of him before I left the country, haha. I wrote these lyrics somewhere on the path home after Nyrus and I talked about how we both had wild youths, but we learned a lot of good lessons that are helping us achieve more later in life.)

lyrics

Time is the divine currency
And currently
I’m trading long term health
For short term Wealth
Cuz honestly you probably
Never met a mutha lova
Who work as hard as me
To realize the god in me
I’m gardening my artistry
You can not be stopping me
This be the prophecy
Watch and see
See your life change for real
Til the change feels so real
You say it’s surreal
The way it manifested
After we made the investment
Into our true essence
Spent years on these lessons
Not living right sipping wine
Sniffing lines smoking blunts popping pills
In the middle of the night
Been a long time waiting
But this ain’t no desperation
Nah this is inspiration
Spirit fuels me
To my destination
I know I got the patience
You know I’m gonna make it
In this second round blow up
We glow love

And so we stand right here
Made it through the nightmares
Now awake still dreaming
We made it to Costa Rica
For the pura vida
See I used to sell drugs
Now I sell music
Laced with my love still getting y’all high
It’s Plaedo from the bird tribe
3rd Eye Open Wide
Feel the vibe
Like your heartbeat inside
Look at what this life do to you
Make you forget
This life can be beautiful
We take it straight to the cuticles
So you can scratch and sniff
The realness now feel this
Cuz at this point
It’s all about the healing
So peace to the broken hearted
The start overs
The dreamers still searching
For their four leaf clover
The survivors of the 9-5
Yes and all of the spirits around ya that guide us...
