Artist Discography

Where do I begin?, I start from within
catacombs of chin, massive tombs I'm hiding in
traveling east, I met a three headed beast
with skin red and green - she helped get me released
by then, I had unleashed an army of tyrants
creeped I walked quietly the streets in silence
a stranger walked by me and gave me an envelope
it contained a map for a secret treasure trove
ancient scriptures like painting pictures
explain - I thinks it, I'm facing riches
I pace my quest, no longer an odyssey
the spiritual is over and necessity is upon me
I'm hooking fare digits, booking air tickets
one way stay visit, I got faith in my instincts
translating imprints and six hours later
I feel asleep on the plane and woke up in Asia


I stepped off the plane holding my luggage
the sun shinning in my eyes like golden nuggets
my first move - bust it, I rushed the taxi rank
unfamiliar habitat, back glancing my plans
entranced, I move through India to China
finding clues to advance about all I could decipher
I got in a cab and drove twelve kilometers
got paranoid because somebody was following us
I told the driver move, I threw him rupees
they hanging out the window bucking like Cool C.
we made a left, they made a right burning diesel
I opened the door and jumped out the moving vehicle
I hit the gravel hard at a velocity
holding my travel card, this map is hot property
I got up sloppily, dusted myself carefully
then all I see is smoke and a mystical deity
a darshan an enlightened one of souls
told me I had to walk bare foot on hot coals
for guidance she said my quest is eternal
and sent me to a past life in my karmic circle.


A vortex of lights distorting thunders
it cleared and I'm in China in the fourteen hundreds
surrounded by swordsman, under lock and key
whatever it was, it wasn't me, my solemn plea
I'm on one knee, I was only on a paper chase
I saw my reflection on a sword that's not my face
I had to escape, I felt the pace of my blood
soft as water, hard as the raging flood
I jumped up and stood still like on a trip wire
a voice said "empty yourself of desire"
stop willing, stop hating - transcend and resist
then I sent out an energy blast from my fist
blastin' holes in bricks running through the cavern
I got to the exit and faced a green dragon
I blasted laughing and she burnt it to cinders
she said "you're from the future, I've seen you in images
come now, follow me, we've been waiting
the scroll at the monastery needs translating"


I read one word and made my mind glow
gyroed to the dinosaur and then left in Cairo
that's where my quest ends I feel a presence
evil incarnate wants to scarface my essence
look in the sky like the universe personified
darkness undercover I send two bolts of light
blinding, but its only shaking the giant
I'm slanging turbo rocks like David to Goliath
the force of the world is ruthless and insatiable
if this is my nemesis I keep emotions stable
and rise beyond limitations of necessity
conquer yourself before you conquer your enemy
I found my center and sent electric shocks
I killed the demon and disappeared into the cosmos..
