process of individuation - ed rowe lyrics

[intro – sample]
“so what are these barriers that keep people from reaching anywhere near their real potential?
the answer to that can be found in another question, and that’s this: which is the most universal human characteristic; fear, or laziness?”
good question… for me it’s a bit of both
doubting my ability, sometimes being too lazy to execute
but in the process of finding one self, one has to stay true to self

[verse 1 – ed rowe]
found myself lost in time as i toss a rhyme
even with sleep i keep the force aligned
to have my scripts depict sh-t that ain’t falsified
won’t endorse a lie i’m staying true to self at all times
with altzheim’s wouldn’t forget the times i had to crawl, climb
to make it happen, not to say i made it rappin
to savor my sacred p-ssion, amazed how the days are lappin
time flies when i’m immersed in this
merciless towards the pen and pad
bleeding sharpies dry until the pages clad
of lyrical fluid, either to boo it or construe it
for the gem it is, see that’s the snapshot, crop the negatives
helps my head exist amidst the imbalance of serotonin
what i’m flowing is like a dosage of pheromones
in a brain-size capsule, raps will snap an axle
to re-adjust my drive the way a gps would ask you
whether or not i want it, would take the knot in my stomach
and use it as motivation, elevate, the weight will plummet

[chorus x2]
leave my stamp on this world
these songs will vouch for me if heaven demands a referral
and if my work ain’t up to par then i’m probably barred
cause it’s h-ll denying self when the crown should be ours

[verse 2 – sleep sinatra]
enter my tortuous perfection, obsessing over quotables
portraits of self etched in, so many with a similar dream and disconnection
with reality it seems i gotta keep a deeper message
rooted in juvenile correction, i understood self at a young age
through inner soul reflection
bringing poems from the core it’s more than inception
a spiritual connection to the pen and pad’s blessing
from the time of hieroglyphs to modern penmen
expressing all the pain through these rhymes, the art of venting
i start a session and go deeper than the planet’s core
the dedication resonates in those who want it more
so i engage in mental war until my armor’s cracked
then i revert back to blacksmith and harden that
see evolution and growth in life is part of fact
that’s why i hope these tablets later become artifacts

[verse 3 – ed rowe]
trapped in a funnel befuddled, rappin a muddled reb-ttal
and scratching at stubble, glancing at gems through the lens of a hubble
stumbling over microscopics, devising topics and psychic optics
foresight, despite the blockage
writer stoppage, pickin lines kept from kickin rhymes
thick at times, striking like i ain’t stealing the penchant signs
gifts divine though i was doubting that
striking up a heated convo with the creator, having a shouting match
questioning my purpose, putting pens to service
against serpents that got me tight roping like rocking small chains in a circus
some say i need to preach that’s why i speak through verses
focused on the straight and narrow, peeping in discrete diversions
in the process, long as yah bless me with the wisdom
and knowledge to deposit i’ll invest it when the kids come
and sip some of summer’s sweet nectar while i perfect the style
music meant to bless your child

[outro – ed rowe]
individuation… is coming to know, is giving expression to, is harmonizing the various components of your soul
it’s realizing your uniqueness, and tapping into your true self. it’s a process like no other
it’s word to mother. yeah… ongoing… but imma keep it strong flowin… elevating to the stars above… much love… one
