Kumite

Tails flip, time slips, restoring the balance seems ya
 Bend the frame, see where your dreams wanna meet you
 Face to face into the give way into
 Time, slip, plans tip, reworking the shape of it seems ya
 Sew yourself in surrender, can you turn your
 Eye to eye whatcha see there?
 This is not about the death of your physical form
 Nor is this just another spiritual song
 It's about being present without clinging to the now
 Accepting changes without clinging to the how
 Fluidity
 Rigidity
 on opposite poles
 Divided by the rat race and all of our goals
 The long quest for balance in a world that's off kilter
 Stress'll kill ya
 So it's best just to filter
 The madness out
 The quest for status out
 Silence your mind
 Try and take a look at your route
 How does that path look?
 Has it been true to your core?
 If not
 The other shoe drop
 It might get raw
 The quest for sanctuary often riddled with setbacks
 Close calls
 And moments that you'd like to get back
 But let the reins go
 Realize life flows
 If you're following your heart
 You're gonna like where you go
 Tails flip, time slips, restoring the balance seems ya
 Bend the frame, see where your dreams wanna meet you
 Face to face into the give way into
 Time, slip, plans tip, reworking the shape of it seems ya
 Sew yourself in surrender, can you turn your
 Eye to eye whatcha see there?
 Transform
 My plan of attach is hands on
 We adapt
 Never land on my back
 I'm in grand form
 We stand strong
 Pushing forth with this metamorphosis
 Pharaohs and sorcerers tortured us
 But couldn't force us to quit
 Enforcing the gift given
 Herbals help the sense
 Metaphor martial art
 Verbal self defense
 I'm Bruce Lee with the claw shaped scars
 And crews flee when my flow take charge
 We hate frauds...
 Telegraph
 Never humorous
 It's the paragraph pugilist
 they call Tuna Fish
 My accolades are numerous
 You and your crew are a consumer risk
 Kumite
 Tuna stay super
 Team up with Mr. Lif
 Not here to dispatch fists
 We match wits
 with verbal tactics
 that could crack bricks
 We back bitch
 Scratching your back itch
 with classics
 When rap switched to darkness
 We kept our match lit
 Tails flip, time slips, restoring the balance seems ya
 Bend the frame, see where your dreams wanna meet you
 Face to face into the give way into
 Time, slip, plans tip, reworking the shape of it seems ya
 Sew yourself in surrender, can you turn your
 Eye to eye whatcha see there?
 We're detached from the center from the moment we arrive, we
 Strive and strain steps to the desk to the drive and
 Told this is it, work hard, buy shit, it
 Holds us in, tight rope and tightening — yet,
 Truth - built into our bones, cells and souls,
 Not a far off thing but takes some
 Listening, let it go, choice and a dare
 To nod to the beauty of the duty you find there...
 Whatcha find there...
 Whatcha find there...
 Whatcha find, whatcha find...
 You shouldn't really dwell on what we will or won't say
 You've entered the verbal Kumite
 Say Matae
 Surrender your shell
 Turn to spiritual form
 Nothing lasts forever man, we all transform
 Truth - built into our bones, cells and souls,
 Not a far off thing but takes some
 Listening, let it go, choice and a dare
 To nod to the beauty of the duty you find there...
