Good Money

Step back!
An inch away and beneath
With little-to-no perspective
That is a masterpiece
Perhaps what's more impressive is you are fixed by will
I assure you freedom's within reach
Here is the serenade, the soundtrack to the dream
So whether you're wide awake or somewhere in between
Float
Float
Get in your boat and go downstream
The only being worth seeing is listening
That which isn't freeing is crippling
Find your wings
Until then get under mine
Even still do not let faith get undermined
He said Hmmm! Yeah, that all sounds fine
But it's so real in the Ville when it's drill time
I can't judge
Shorty said On God I'm trying
Put his head down and kept firing
A young general
With the heart of lion
Even though the status quo is untenable
He was raised to know every breath was a blessing
So to him surrender and death were identical
Vision's beyond the eyes
His position was comprised
He thought a check meant more than respect
In retrospect, that decision was ill-advised

The moment is right now
It's never not happening
As real as it gets
Like the meaning of this
Like is a simile
So keep it in context
Remember one memory
Before you were conscious
You are loved is the mantra
You are loved
The most high vibe is still provided by....
You could bet
GOOD MONEY!
In the meantime you could bet

You can bet it’s a whimper not a bang
It’s a picture where the thing’s just out of frame
It’s a memory
They say it never happened
But your memory they can’t explain
When you’re estranged and people are strange
When they’re in danger they’ll blurt your name
Friends who know
Friend or foe?
They was doing God’s work
I voted to abstain but let ‘em know I was opposed
Told the journalist to please put weed in quotes
Human greed and a hull in boats
Banana leaves, plastic beachwood smoke
Tiny fish on a sharp stick the goat roasts
English school boys over a drill beat
William gold as ghosts
I kill me
Marmalade on toast
Cut away the fat, serve the fillet
Might I postulate everything’s poached

The current is all flows
On which we are traveling
As deep as it gets
Like the meaning of this
Like is a simile
So keep it in context
Remember that energy
The theme, the melody
When the caged bird sings
You will know when to set it free
Be what you wanna see
You are what you wanna be
GOOD MONEY
you can head on thru
And when you bet make that bet on you
LIFE IT UP!
