lyrics

This is what the old man said/
I’m reflecting on what the old man read/
sipping the wine/tasting of the old man’s bread/
hmm.. the grey I mean the wisdom from the old man’s head/
the experience in bw the old man’s dreads/
I listened paid attention as the old man shared/
son remember the lord in the days of your youth/
take caution as you sow for them fruits/
young men dream old men see visions/
yet some old men die wishing/
with pain from the soul that’s been smitten/
sole in the hole when the mole starts digging/
the ears start failing/body’s ailing and the crows start kissing/
the eyes dim as the clock starts ticking/
the sun’s getting dim the clouds return swiftly/
and the body returns to the one who created/
the flesh turned to dust/the soul to the one who made it
this is what the old man said


Basic instructions…before leaving the Earth

This is what the old man said/
Son , basic instructions before leaving the earth/
Seek ye the kingdom before seeking the bread/
Cos we die and leave them behind that’s what vanity said/
But son I see your eyes getting red/
From seeking green on the earth/
Yea I see sleep is the cousin of death/
And rivers ain’t deep as the evil in men/
Come ..Take the grace that’s deep as silence/
The spots Where the waters pour for his highness/
the cup of forgiveness a sip from the finest/
The no. 1 vinedresser/taste fruit from the grapes/
the wine presser/ with everlasting portions/
elixir/ the words soothe like a lotion/
show no fear/be that sheep in wolves’ clothing/
pray never slack/screw the nuts and the loose bolts in/
the chosen/ few/
ones left standing as the Baptist’s starts splitting trees/
as the spirit blows/ son life’s like a fleeting breeze
this is what the old man said

Basic instructions…before leaving the Earth 4X


This is what the old man said/
they got a grip on your soul with that religion/
trapped in the whale’s belly/
so high thinking u can fly R Kelly/
looking like the devil’s god already
it’s a game of thrones got you fooled like Stanis/
floating in a water world man from atlantis/
feed you the get high/nig** bi*** mentality
no church in the wild, the young ones falling with no gravity/
wish I could show u wat I got inside of me/
It feels like I’m standing on top of a mountain/
Looking down at the gain and losses/
Effect and causes/ looking at the slaves and bosses/
Cos when it ends we all parts of the earth’s rhythm revolving around God’s the axis/
Life’s just a marketplace untill the Bill collector comes/
before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars and darkness
and the clouds return after the rain/
now This is what the old man said/
I’m reflecting …thinking what the old man read/
I listened paid attention as the old man shared/
