Further Away (Earth Bound Mix) is from J.Smo's album The Joshua Story (Earth Bound Mix) produced and featuring Quique Cruz.
lyrics
from the birth to the hearse,
i attempt to peel back the layers of this universe,
stash some samples in a purse, for what its worth,
examine thru the ages, hidden knowledge be the curse,
we reap what we sow yet this truth tends to hurt,
so i let it all out on this mic, watch me flirt,
the devil wears prada and she opens up her skirt,
with a slide of her hand, buttons poppin’ off your shirt,
she shows you riches, you finger lickin’,
stuck inside her trance until you’re ripe for the pickin’,
create dependency until you’re stuck with the system,
cultivate habits that suppress our ambition,
promote wack rap aimed at fillin’ up their prisons,
using entertainment just to further push the mission,
convinced that you’re free when you really just dreamin’,
disconnected from our roots we know not what we believin’.
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
look beyond planet earth, send your mind into space,
grasp the bigger picture put the pieces into place,
see the crack in the box, take a peek at the other side,
that television screen is the blinder to your eyes,
change the transmission, alter perception,
change how you listen, see thru deception,
read thru some books, edit for corrections,
continue digging deep, you will find your direction,
we are not the only forms of intelligence,
and if you disagree, i see your views as irrelevant,
some stress about the future, others stuck in the past,
i say live in the present cause forever doesn’t last,
move with the tides or drown in the sea,
we need to let go but we’re attached to our things,
try to rise above but they want us to sink,
try to question everything but they don’t want us to think.
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
further and further and further away
Yo yo yo, bring that back
this world is composed of frequencies and vibrations,
thoughts plant seeds then they bloom in conversation,
choose your own path and reverse the automation,
get a grip on excess and practice moderation,
defined by the value of material things,
i refuse to be judged by my pocket full of change,
one thing you control is the perspective of your brain,
so double check the art before you put it in the frame,
i don’t worry about the status quo,
i’ll lift up your spirits with my saddest flow,
flip the negatives and then i watch love grow,
assemble building blocks until my time to go.
