[Hook:RBTO] Blue light, true might Shine like a young star Glow in the dark night Guide those who've come far Illuminate the faith it takes to make haste While the soul rejuvenates [Verse 1:RBTO] Lemmie flow to the sea To drift amongst ocean tides Let the currents guide As insurance I Keep it bona-fide While it coincides With the rhymes that I profecie Over this commotion my emotions Open swollen eyes Of the victimized From the lies of this enterprise Im heaven sent to die My only prize is to live a life So come what may My loved ones say Hold on, stay strong You'll be done one day But till then i've got a road to pave I'll have fun, till thats done Still got myself a world to save I guess first, I gotta learn from my old mistakes If you relate, i've got the nerve to pray Check it Dear god up in heaven lookin down from above It's so true, I know you Keep on showing me love Pull thru with your best plan there ever was Keep me safe and keep me off the drugs Amen [Hook:RBTO & Rh Xanders] Blue light, true might Shine like a young star Glow in the dark night Guide those who've come far Illuminate the faith it takes To make haste while the soul rejuvenates [Verse 2:Rh Xanders] Unconsciousness is the disease I'm going crazy feeling like I'm the only one who see's what I see Sometimes my sleeping friends become my worst enemies Cause most of us are blind to our true entities To tell you the truth, i've seen the messiah Every time I try to tell people they label me a liar Cause they only see the fraction, never the entire Situation that is happening, blinded by the fire He told me all we really need to do is reconnect We are connected to everything but one part will not accept The truth that we are one organism kept in check By a creator of a higher intelligence, different depths Everyone i've ever seen is just an external reflection of what's internal We're in a cosmic intersection The physical perception's not a miserable direction Its a fragment of God's beautiful picture of perfection [Hook:RBTO & Rh Xanders] Blue light, true might Shine like a young star Glow in the dark night Guide those who've come far Illuminate the faith it takes To make haste while the soul rejuvenates

[Verse 1: RBTO] I get on my knees and repent For every second that fled For every sentence I said That never went through my head Instead it manifested itself Through a reckless intent 'Til your reflection indents To leave the microphone drenched And when you peep what it meant You realize he felt the world through a pen And never lied about the work he put in He couldn't, wouldn't Bend to let it all dissolve into sin Instead he gives it up along with the wind This ain't a fad or a trend Its navigation thru the pattern of men To contemplate and find the truth in the end Its how we celebrate the fruits of the day And never let it to waste Its how we slow it down to speed up the pace Its in the look of the face When you hear it hit the snare and the bass And when you hear it spit the flare and the grace Its in a mothers embrace Its the faith of a will and a way The way it shakes, makes you feel it in space Everyday I say [Hook:RBTO] Life is Livin' the light Over the vices I write this Bit of advice Hopin' it might get You through the night In the middle of crisis And move to the rhythm of christ [Verse 2:RBTO] I often contemplate upon the long await Beyond the date of which my thought would ever propagate Until I learn the names of the stars I've made it this far To go beyond without a plane or a car And im holdin' on to love cause im insane in the art In and out until im bathin' in scars I never hated my part To be apprentice of a crazy wizard Serenadin' till the maidens is ours! And its hard To trust the word of a man But if you're a man of your word You would be fit to withstand any battling nerd And many chatter is heard Instead of havin' to earn credit They be takin' on debit till they ass is happily served This sadly recurs, like a disease That we actullay deserve Its rather disturbed But if your family prefers You gotta listen up close and observe The miracle works If you believe that it could shatter the curse (and) [Hook:RBTO] Life is Livin' the light Over the vices I write this Bit of advice Hopin' it might get You through the night In the middle of crisis And move to the rhythm of christ

Bloom 02:59
[Verse 1:RBTO] One, two Im 'bout to kick it off like it's kung-fu New art of war like I summoned it from Sun Tzu Some dudes fall asleep when I come to But it don't stop train of thought when it runs thru My brain manages The amethyst Shade of cannabis Stay animate and move like an abacus The way I handle it eradicate contaminants Smooth as the groove set the mood For the analyst Open panel it I hope it's dope and adequate Enough to satisfy your whole shenanigan It's automatic and you know you don't gotta panic Cause I man it like the pope does the vatican Manic at the math again Imagining Paddling the waves time traveling Mapping out the maze, rhyme babbling While unraveling the day Dibba dabble in the race Floating on to outer space Vanishing [Hook:RBTO] One time for divine Spirit intertwined With the universe and mind I search inverse and rhyme In this space immersed in time Meditate and elevate the soul vibration Nationwide [Verse 2:RBTO] It's something like the Balcony alchemy Cavalry-vowed valkyrie Allowed to be as loud as a live crowd is about to be Undoubtedly appease the passing breeze We easy packin' trees Sparkin' up like stars and galaxies I see the gravity beneath the cavity The surface gettin' weak And its sad to see the tragedy enact the scene I mean I can't believe With our capacity It's sorta whack we lack the action not the strategy To remedy the dire need Of findin' higher creed Instead of lying, buying mad supplies of irony Standing idley kinda like a false idol Lost title in the line of the vital deed Its either we forget the rivalry Annihilate entirely Or violently stay in denial Humanity's been awaiting the trial Date set in the dial Guess the destination is final [Hook:RBTO] One time for divine Spirit intertwined With the universe and mind I search inverse and rhyme In this space immersed in time Meditate and elevate the soul vibration Nationwide

[Verse 3:RBTO] I've been livin' in this head splittin' rhythm Been misled, fed and sickened With the meds and religion Middle finger up fuck the system Couldn't stomach their decision Outta luck, stuck and wishin' We landed on this earth for a mission But we lurked in position Gettin' worse in condition Instead of makin' work We've been pissin' on its worth Gettin' lost in our perverse competition But sometimes I find divine wisdom Behind the blind instant Defined in my intent Im takin' my time to rhyme in sync to my sublime instinct to find the fine imprint Be kind and rewind the mind engine Untie the binds clenching your shine to high-tension Relax and recline to my sentence Apply the dimensions To guide your direction My written's refined in dissection Provides a wide entrance to my supply segment A simple design, where you and I intertwine, within a blink of an eye Forever ours to reside

[Verse 1:RBTO] Im 'bout to write about this girl Some of ya'll know her, Some of ya'll dont Some of ya'll sober And some of ya'll smoke Some of ya'll loners When summer's all over All fun and all jokes Till one of ya'll chokes Then, it's all broke You summon all hope While runnin' off roads And swingin' on rope Just to catch a glimpse of her eminent glow As i've been ever since at your local rock show Cause she can rock beats And I can rock flows While I would raise heat She could make the rain pour Now isint that sweet More than I could ask for I love her so deep Couldn't see the end goal That's seemingly bleak But the feeling enfolds While it affects me With no reason enclosed You probably don't believe Like, I'm about to explode Gettin' fully exposed Yet I don't mean to impose [Hook :RBTO] And, so what, so what, so what If we don't talk, so much, so much, so much I just gotta show up And we could chill out like a couple grown-ups Love drunk and im 'bout to throw up Haziness And, so what, so what, so what If she's a crazy bitch I love her so much, so much Im so afraid of it Cause every little inch I take is dangerous And ima take the risk Cause she's my favorite [Verse 2:RBTO] State of bliss 'till im trippin' Ain't hard to tell by the way it was written' In the stars and the shells To propel my description Where the endlessness dwells in between her decisions I didn't even ask for permission I just felt compelled to expel inhibition Driven by the livin' force of harmony and perfect rhythm In tradition of my position of our grand solar system And even as I drown in the drink Every sound makes me think She's around every other blink I guess my mind's been playing tricks on me I thought she tried to lay a kiss on me You know the joke's on me With these emotions she evokes on me I write a note for you to quote for free And just in case you tryin' to battle I hope you know I spit from the heart Even love couldn't tear me apart Until it's over im like [Hook :RBTO] And, so what, so what, so what If we don't talk, so much, so much, so much I just gotta show up And we could chill out like a couple grown-ups Love drunk and im 'bout to throw up Haziness And, so what, so what, so what If she's a crazy bitch I love her so much, so much Im so afraid of it Cause every little inch I take is dangerous And ima take the risk Cause she's my favorite

[Verse 1:RBTO] So I stepped into the room and saw a dim lamp light Can't seem to focus my eyes on the surroundings Cluttered, they all seem to have something to say But on the same wall all I see is clutter Now the laundry stays in the way unless you move it Cups and plates stay in the tray unless you use it Bathroom won't clean itself Shit stacked around the corners Cause' I dont own a shelf I could pour you a glass and you could give me a smile But I gotta take the trash out every once in a while Im the only moving object in this on-going-offset Kept in this concrete complex Its midnight, writin' insight, hopin it might Make you think of how you living your life In the rights I ignite to excite Enlight and invite Ya'll to sit tight as I recite The thoughts that got me lost in the moment Carefully woven, then thrown in the open Hopin' to be layin' in the sea of your conciouncicus Serves as a scarf Not as a compass [Hook:RBTO] And I keep on sweeping this house alone No sidetracks im on my own Time keeps going with the metronome As each flow goes thru the microphone And each piece speaks of a story Revealin' itself to whom it looks for Came with an aim to tame the lame copy Remainin' the same throughout the rain pour [Verse 2:RBTO] Sometimes the clouds come to cast a grey sky Sometimes the clouds go to let the rays shine Sometimes the roads clog with smog And sometimes its filled up with nothing at all And even in the silence You can hear the tension Twisting its grip around its invention Tied to fear, controlled by imaginary puppeteers How you gonna let em' steer and hope to get outta here? I remain captain of this vessel Came to fertilize every shore that I settle Made to verbalize, recognize its a germicide In this enterprise, I decide to revitalize Cause I reside in unrevised analogy Neither side alive to subsidize our reality So when im done happily, fillin' up this cavity Then i'll prolly roll out casually [Bridge:RBTO] To each his own To find his own way home To each his own To find his own way home [Outro:RBTO] Lemmie burn this inferno Internally hurdle Eternally fertile for serve to be worth, your concerns to be heard Let every single crayon color up the earth to the moon And every single prayer pavin' up the universe too Time to realize the grater size that lies before your very eyes Justify! testify! Time to realize the greater size that lies before your very eyes Multiply, multiply, MULTIPLY!

[Verse 1: Abs] Brother killing brother Takes a toll on one another Cause we blinded the lies And the promise to be richer Fighting over money. It’s sad really Forgetting all those days When we were kids and bein’ silly We were once family Don’t you miss those yesteryears When we swore to one another That we would look out for each other Hanging on a thread. (It’s mayhem. It’s stupid.) To wish a brother dead (Just cos greed consumed the spirit) [Hook: Abs] Brother, brother, brother…. brother [Verse 2:RBTO] Brother man, brother man Doing all you can Just to free the seven seas and the foreign lands In a place they separated due to race and mutual hatred Now you livin' in a space they call a state to make a statement Ain't it blatant how they’re rearranging history books Small tales, big lies Left our chemistry shook It’s a damn big sign that we’re livin with crooks And you’ve signed the dotted line if you took a good look Yeah, we’re probably whopped By the loops and the hooks Who knows who cares? It’s the effort it took Right? So lemmie' get it straight till everything looks nice It’s the trip not the destination Go live a good life Man, are you kidding me Stop spittin' stupidity Ya wack soliloquy Ain't no sign of virtuosity At best, your probability At possible delivery Is still a mystery And yes- you’re still a bum officially So talk about my drive and don’t gas me up If I jot between the lines and I filled your cup It’s a walk between the minds And a stop between the finds And it ought to undermine such a complicated crime My [Hook: Abs] (brother, brother, brother…. brother) It shouldn’t be this way between, brothers (brother, brother, brother….brother) Were not suppose to hate our own brother (brother, brother, brother….brother) We’re thicker than water brother (brother, brother, brother….brother) Wouldn’t want you buried under, brother

[Hook: RBTO] Just cruise Leaving on the streets only memories of truth Kinesthetically infused with the energies of youth You can feel it in a beat when it settles in the groove Keep it tight or let it loose Doesn't matter if you cruise [Verse 1:RBTO] It's been a long road traveling To reach the microphone In the zone, flow lavishing My dome is prone to capturing tones Handling shows, mangling foes Managing hoes and damaging clones I'm manning the post and scanning the cost Blowing a drag full of vanishing smoke at panicking folk Cause I ain't' trying to evoke manic revolt Im trying to be hired to inspire results And when I retire I plan to speak fire in church and greet choirs Without fantasies hidden inert within my desires I seek to peak higher And lead the meek via A transition discreet until I sleep tired Deep beneath within the keep in where my dreams breed Conceived to provide the vision that my peeps need Believe, I only spit it true You what it do im commin' thru with the Vito Crew So we can cruise [Hook: RBTO & JedLi] Just cruise Leaving on the streets only memories of truth Kinesthetically infused with the energies of youth You can feel it in a beat when it settles in the groove Keep it tight or let it loose Doesn't matter if you cruise

[Hook:RBTO] And when the moon shines She cries 'till the tides swell high Screamin' for the sky Cursed under my spell As I fell, flyin' thru a blind hell Lyin' juvenile stealth of a wild child Ruined my health For a tinge of twilight In the finite of my life Reflection refracts in my eyesight As I write Despite the fear of disappearing Beyond the night Forever wandering, conquering Verse: Calm as the eye of the storm as she approaches Hostess of baffling form provoked psychosis I know this, i've had it before, im no novice The whole globe was slo-mo, bro Before you noticed The sky ripped open a hole that spoke hopeless The lightning and thundering strokes emote solace The wind howls and I yell back Stay focused Its no joke Im tied to these ropes No protest She pierced like a thorn of a rose The rain battering Shattering every bone As I slipped off ship Slid a slippery slope Lord hearin me, nope Pass to heaven revoked Lost but really im home Driftin' off on her waves Brought to life in the glow Soft as light in her gaze Sharp as scythe in the soul Dark as night in a maze Hard as ice in the cold Farthest ive ever made Story ive never told [Hook:RBTO] And when the moon shines She cries 'till the tides swell high Screamin' for the sky Cursed under my spell As I fell, flyin' thru a blind hell Lyin' juvenile stealth of a wild child Ruined my health For a tinge of twilight In the finite of my life Reflection refracts in my eyesight As I write Despite the fear of disappearing Beyond the night Forever wandering, conquering

[Verse 1:RBTO] I jot down a line To redesign The feeble minds That waste their time And redefine Vocation rhymes They patronize Through all the lies You’ll be surprised To realize That it’s an evil crime To make you believe you’re fine And make you forget that You wanted to live a life Now you’re a sacrifice Livin’ the world’s device Sittin' like merchandise Now is it worth the price? Lemmie get a move on Cause this road ain't movin' itself They say that walkin’s good for your health So ima take my steady steps Until I reach the final stretch And never give you any less than I possess [Hook:RBTO] Now lemmie get a move on [Verse 2:RBTO] This chick that leaves me breathless I know I wanna breathe But I couldn’t find the exit This highway’s goin' haywire And this busted tire’s tryin’ to prove that there will be no second hand buyers I ain't a liar I be chasin’ my desire And I feel hella tired but I guess im also inspired In my attire ima drive till I perspire Cause im harnessing the fire to further this little empire Time to gas up at the Pitstop They had ten kegs of fuel and was listening to HipHop My wrist watch whispered time was an illusion So I got to the conclusion like a student [Hook 2:RBTO] We gotta get a move on! Cause these dreams don’t weave themselves It's do or die and ima pry apart this sordid shell Expose the hell that they camouflage with all their spells So ya’ll could tell the time like We gotta get a move on! [Verse 3:RBTO] Change the world with a vacuum And if you need proof try to clean up your bathroom It only takes you a little motivation Plus some concentration For this consecration that im demonstrating I hope in penetrating everything you’re emulating I hope im elevating everything you’re celebrating While im regenerating Inspiration Innovating Entertaining ways to renovate your whole perception in it And im the best releavin’ stress while im progressin’ with it So more or less I pass the test if im presented with it/ And if I don’t I'd rather choke And go for broke If it’s the only way to let these people know [Hook 3:RBTO] That’s how you get a move on! I said it You get it Heavy poetic aesthetics Embedded so epic You never expected To be affected So check the credits It’s all in the edit As long as you ment it You’ll never regret it Now you gotta move on
