(Verse 1)
Do you ever sit back kick back and wonder
Is this the real me or a spell I am under?
Making blunders, running for cover when i hear the thunder
Underneath it all never fear the call
Of the natural state informing what's nurtured
Happy outside inside tortured
Til i Retrieve my ability to be a realer me
Heal the tree
wipe the blood from the roots
Let the branches be free in the wind
heal the wounds shake the noose
Set loose by my ancestors
Will we collectively forgive or leave them festering forever?
Rendering our elders irrelevant - whatever
Is it room for human error
Why so many live in terror?
Of debt collectors and oppressors
Depression and the weather
blind mice and men in pursuit of pleasure?
(Chorus)
Oh, It's just in my nature
I said I'd do it now but I'll probly do it later
Oh, it's just in my nature
wanna fuck, eat, sleep and party til I meet my maker
Oh but it’s also my nature
To see my reflection in the eyes of a stranger
So is that human nature?
We all different but we all come from the same earth
(Verse 2)
Shake the curse off
Are we worse off?
Since the first man found a flock and a field
A sword and a shield asking other men to yield
He said she said who says what's real?
Peel back the layers
Check your notifications
Is that capacity to love or a need for validation?
While the news feed bleeds inoculation
Speaks to a monstrous nation
Running on the tick tock slave to the clock
Is our species defined by
Headlines bout pipelines
Deadlines and blood lines
Poison on the lunchline
But that’s only sometimes
inconsistent when existence is resistant it's met only with persistence
(Hold up check the pulse)
Do you feel that way too?
'Cause it’s natural for me to want to connect with you
express something that relates
Illuminates a human fate greater than escaping nature man versus ape
A miracle we still Find bliss amidst the stress
We all make excuses let me get mine off my chest
(let me get it off my chest)
(Chorus)
Oh, It's just in my nature
I said I'd do it now but I'll probly do it later
Oh, it's just in my nature
wanna fuck, eat, sleep and party til I meet my maker
Oh but it’s also my nature
To see my reflection in the eyes of a stranger
So is that human nature?
We all different but we all come from the same earth
(Outro)
Where did we come from?
Where will we go?
Nobody knows
These questions with no answers
just a chance at life
one shot
we all got this body
just for a moment
so what will you do?
Will you rise to the occasion?
And let your nature
- your true nature
shine through
(Shine through)

The yearning in her eyes you see she sees the truth
Needs to move
Mountains so she squeeze the juice
free to choose following her need to cruise creatively
Escaping the constraints of circumstance calls for much bravery
She remembers when she came to see
The institution of education
built to keep the people at the bottom in their places
Classroom like a slaveship
Till music got the cave lit
You can tell how much she craves it
Can feel how she needs it
To heal and find freedom
To be with the person that she is
Connect with the depths of her being where seeds live
Connect with the depths of her being where seeds live

Love Story

Energy
is just a word
capturing a flavor of an aspect of a shadow of what is
and isn't it enough just to feel it?
Let it wash over you
drip down spine
mind loses control over body and that space of certainty
seems to lose relevance
moves with medicine
seems repetitive
but maybe there's a point to it after all is said and done with the old ways
will they return to knock? off the beaten path i roam
with a reflection by my side
he calls me out of my shell - shocked by his light
bursting with radiance
he thanks me for my radiance
he sees what I can't
always is a limitation
forever is less than right now
so let's just live there - i heard it's infinite
and love is why we exist
isn't it silly to think it can ever die?
when it returns every time
I guess that means it's there all along my skin
trace a line and let it rest for eternity
even apart there you are - I said to myself
Falling in love with my own joy
as it expands and bursts to the bliss of nothingness

Medicine Man

Medicine man, oh medicine man
Medicine man
(Chorus)
Medicine man
I met a medicine man
He met me where I am with a feather in hand
Medicine man - never met a better man
'cuz he's all about the betterment and living for the land
(Verse 1)
That's why I'm giving him a hand
even though it wasn't planned
'cuz there ain't nothing better than a medicine man
a unify the masculine and feminine man
I feel so feminine, damn
as the elements land
sublimated
come escape with me relating
our histories and herstories we've both been so damn patient
for the sacred, ecstatic release automatic
can't believe I ever believed in the static
that this could be
anything but organic
I was in the attic
Stacking up packages, caught on a tobacco kiss
who can hold a match to this?
Medicine man
medicine man
medicine medicine medicine man
(Chorus)
Medicine man I met a medicine man
he met me where I am with a feather in hand
Medicine man never met a better man
'cuz he's all about the betterment and living for the land
Medicine man I met a medicine man
he met me where I am with a feather in hand
Medicine man never met a better man
'cuz he's all about the betterment and living for the land
(Verse 2)
Addict
That’s the shit that I was
Forgot ‘bout making honey 'cuz I was caught up in the buzz
Caught up in the what now? WHAT IFS
Caught up in the feeling of feeling better after just one spliff
Just come drift with me
Delivery from slippery misery
A bigger me resides inside the wizardry
was it a sin to be
Seeking this so fervently urgently
After all, what were all my urges earning me?
A worried mind bound to a profound sense of urgency
'Til I sensed with certainty that you could sense the worth in me
The sentences and words in me
That could merge the sea with the sky as we fly with the birds and bees
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
Medicine man I met a medicine man
he met me where I am with a feather in hand
Medicine man never met a better man
'cuz he's all about the betterment and living for the land
Medicine man I met a medicine man
he met me where I am with a feather in hand
Medicine man never met a better man
'cuz he's all about the betterment and living for the land
(Verse 3)
Communicate clearly illuminate
Introspect and ruminate
Not fabricate or aggravate aggregates just enumerate
Make new mistakes
Wait - there are no mistakes
Only happy accidents a sacrament to chill with you
relaxing in the magic of our entanglements
Deeper than relationships
Together we create a shift
I’ve been patient waitin' for someone different than these other dudes that I've been relating with
Aching for the way your lips
call forth a sacredness that’s more than the nakedness
Is love just finding someone you can chill and be naked with?
Learning how to take a hit, not take it personal
Work together make it vertical
An open mind wont hurt ya skull
Sing like a bird, a lullaby
Pull the sky closer to your colored eyes
I feel fuller why
Did I wait so long?
To see the medicine man was within me all along
In a song
That I just hadn’t sung yet
'Cuz there ain't no need to want when you’re one with the sunset.
(Bom Shiva)
'Cuz there ain't no need to want when you're one with the sunset.

Oh grandmother, when I grow old
I will never leave a story untold
Oh grandmother though I am young
I do it all for you
Oh grandfather, I am listening
Oh grandfather, I feel you within my -
Bones grandfather, though i am young
I do it all for you
For the Earth, I sing my song
Can you feel it in your bones, can you feel it?
For the Earth, I sing my song
Can you feel it in your bones, can you feel it?
Oh my mind, my body, my spirit
mountains surrounding sounds of the river
Every drop of flow I release
I give it all to you
Oh this life, is ours for a moment
Born for a purpose find it and hone it
Hold it close let it guide you through
And do it all for you
Do it all for you
I do it all for you...
For the earth, I sing my song
Can you feel it, in your bones can you feel it?
For the earth, I sing my song
(sing it)
Can you feel it, in your bones can you feel it?
(can you feel it)
A verse lifts the veil
Words drift liquid infused in every exhale
Let's sail off to greener pastures never come back
Hollow like Apollo following the sun's track
Everyone got one path
but when it diverges - you could split the screen
Split a cell see what emerges
Percolating circulating even after the verse is fading
the Earth is patient
saying in each verse I'm praying - seems like an understatement
I'm tryna find the love that lives under the hatred
They say life is what you make it
Life made us
We come from the stars - made up of the same dust
Why can't the brain trust what the heart gives?
Between us where the art lives
Raise it up, let it in, breathe it out
First time I looked within I thought that I might drown
'Til I learned to swim, transmute my pain into the sounds
'Cuz you can't know about the world 'til you explore your Inner Grounds.
