this. is. a journey.
a journey that i will guide you through,
so find a comfortable way to be in this moment
& the ones to follow.
on this journey we honor the process of growth
& recognize the value it has over blindly rushing
to the finish line.
this is,
the return of the free
& we breathe into that level of awareness
Freedom
recognizing our breath as the tool which grounds us in this work
grounds us in the difficulties, pain, & hurt
but also the joy, truth, peace, & love
so it is here that we…
[inhale | exhale] x2
i thank you for taking time
time to listen
time to explore
time to be
Free
which is the absence of fear,
acknowledging its roots within you
& how its shaped your mind
posing as the soil fertilizing thoughts that come alive
then asking the question,
how did i get here?
exploring,
then setting the intention to
move through fear
practicing that movement of growth
& watching what comes alive
Freedom
breathing into this
[inhale | exhale]
exploring,
then setting the intention to
move through fear
practicing that movement of growth
& watching what comes alive
Freedom
breathing into this
[inhale | exhale]
exploring,
then setting the intention to
move through fear
practicing that movement of growth
& watching what comes alive
Freedom
this is,
the return of the free

runnin’ to the well of the peace that i seek
runnin’ to the well of the joy i will bring
runnin’ to the love in the world that’s for me
i’m runnin, runinn, runnin, runnin, runnin, runnin, runnin
runnin, runnin, i’m runnin, runnin,
believing is POWER, breathe in its POWER
runnin’ & sweatin’ eyeballs ingesting the pain of the world & i’m sick
i’m hurt & i’m traumatized, but i’m steppin’ up with this
i’m offering myself & sharing my practice
in finding that well still & pitchin’ a brave wish
discovering wholeness, discerning that bullsh….
too long in this hallway where i can’t find what to say
& fearful of backlash when sharing in public spaces
i’m steppin out my way, doin it may
runnin’ to the well [believing is POWER]
runnin’ to the well of the peace that i seek
runnin’ to the well of the joy i will bring
runnin’ to the love in the world that’s for me
i’m runnin, runinn, runnin, runnin, runnin, runnin, runnin
runnin, runnin, i’m runnin, runnin,
believing is POWER, breathe in its POWER

wanna be somewhere where i can fly like the birds carefree in the air
wanna be somewhere where i can groove like the trees arms up in the air
wanna be somewhere where i can fly like the birds carefree in the air
wanna be somewhere where i can groove like the trees arms up in the air
shedding, dying, & revealing
release & flood to the ceiling
we healin’
said we healin’ (2x)
wanna be somewhere where i can fly like the birds carefree in the air
(i wanna fly like a bird way up in the tree)
wanna be somewhere where i can groove like the trees arms up in the air
(i wanna, i wanna, i wanna, i wanna)
wanna be somewhere where i can fly like the birds carefree in the air
(i wanna fly like a bird way up & be free)
wanna be somewhere where i can groove like the trees arms up in the air
(i wanna, i wanna, i wanna, i wanna)
shedding, dying, & revealing
release & flood to the ceiling
we healin’

woodwind delicacies blowing at ease, see the
diddy bop of the sycamore leaves, that’s freedom
laughs, smiles filling the breeze, reachin
high sky-bound, kareem dreamin’
high sky-bound, i believe that
every soul wants to be free &
learn and grow like wilderness trees &
learn to know what life really means
before it’s over, this world we know is transient
movin’ at high speeds, switchin’ lanes mean damage
maybe i’ll switch a lane and lead the fame to groundin
rooted at ease, drivin’ peace back to the fountain
carefully parking opening doors to let the peace flow
baggage from traumas we acknowledge, but working through em though
chuggin’ that luggage when finished, showing up lovin’ and given
growin’ to show all the children we made it through & we winnin’
stare at the sky i pray
show me my light, let me shine the way
stare at the sky i pray
show me my light, let me shine the way
alignment at it finest, i gotta find it
gotta be it, gotta walk, gotta breathe it
no contradiction, within myself i gotta see it
focused attention, on my growth to higher being
discerning awareness, with these spirits that i’m seein
cause sittin in stillness, i attract what i am being
discerning awareness, keepin on these high beams
cause sittin in stillness i attract what i am being
i am well, i’m a king, i’m a lover & achiever,
in pursuit of the light, i am brave & a believer
i am well, i’m a king, i’m a lover & achiever,
in pursuit of the light, i am brave & a believer
i’m a king choosin’ growth, i’m aware where i sow
i’m aware & i see, i’m aware & i know
i’m aware so i’ll be sharing truth when i breathe
speaking healin’ over everyone moving toward free (3x)
stare at the sky i pray
show me my light, let me shine the way
stare at the sky i pray
show me my light, let me shine the way
i stare at the sky, stare at the sky, i pray
if we uproot it, we find a movement
it can be fluid, as we move through it (2x)

it’s nice out there, but i don’t care
cause i’m somewhere movin’ to happy
movin’ to happy
it’s nice out there, but i don’t care
cause i’m somewhere movin’ to get free
movin’ to get free
broken to pieces couldn’t believe it, thought i’d never make it
desiring, searching, & pleading in what i thought i needed
job, money, status, love - all that ish came & went
& left me feeling without what appeared as heaven sent
barely navigating life, feeling so lost
soon all areas of my life was chaos like a storm
inconsistencies and chaos is now my new norm
overwhelmed, weakened mindstate and searching for answers
sick & tired of people listening and not understanding
sick & tired of opinions but no one to stand with
sick & tired of how i felt i decided to end it
now surviving the very thing that could ease my pain
awakened to a new beginning, a new birth day
& in that moment i knew my soul was here for greater
started healing, more intention, begin one with nature
i learned it’s not a place, but yet a state of being
happiness embrace because it is within me
it’s nice out there, but i don’t care
cause i’m somewhere movin’ to happy
movin’ to happy
it’s nice out there, but i don’t care
cause i’m somewhere movin’ to get free
movin’ to get free
i gotta make sure that i’m honest, i’m not motivated by millions of dollars
i’m motivated by connection & growth gained in its honor
the honor of truth, honor of love, honor of peace
the honor that’s me, bringing smiles sharing millions of teeth
imagine what we’ll see if we just grabbed our burdens & be
committed to peace, & started toward a collective release
maybe a flood, a flood that’ll drain out the pain in the streets
maybe a flood, a flood that’ll serve as the cleanse that we need
committing to truth & speaking the feelings we’ve harbored since youth
speaking the pain, talkin with hurt, sittin in shame
cause that aint a game, to harbor those feelings produces a strain
sort of like sittin in rain, and it could be painful to open again
so we changin’ the game, no longer remainin’ the same
no longer will maintain, to heavy to carry the pain
so i commit to release, lettin’ go all of the strain’
lettin go all that i don’t need the flood can wash it away
it’s nice out there, but i don’t care
cause i’m somewhere movin’ to happy
movin’ to happy
it’s nice out there, but i don’t care
cause i’m somewhere movin’ to get free
movin’ to get free
i’m movin to get free
i’m movin to get free
i want you to come with me
i’m movin to get free
i’m movin to get free
(to get free)
i’m movin to get free
(to get free)
i want you to come with me
(to get free)
i’m movin to get free
(to happy)

what if i told you
everything you experienced up until this point
was preparing you for where you are
right now
every person you’ve encountered
wether a big or small player
all played a key role
in your ascension
a kind glance
a hard stare
a warm gesture
they all shaped how you viewed the world
and viewed yourself in it
you looked for clues everywhere you could find them
not realizing they were right in front of you
all along
what if i told you
you had the keys
what if i told you
your steps were ordered
and all you had to do was show up
as you
you have taken so many forms over the years
and each one was authentic to who you were striving to be
at the time
the choices you made were meant for you
& what you experienced shaped you
embrace every stage
every version
& every person you’ve been and will be
it was all for good
it is all for good
and fuel for the person
you’re ultimately striving to be
it is you, it is me, it is us, it is we
& we are exactly
where and whom
we need to be

mother nature showed me, what’s inside of me
mother earth let me know that i’m always a king
& no matter the doubts, or questions second guessin’
feelin down & out, that at all moments i’m a walkin blessing
& seeking that connection, with the divine
had to turn to the sun & get outside for some time
snip the plug to the wires that have me glued to the line
of the cellar device that’s in my pocket all the time
had to shut it down, turn it off
disconnect, unplug from the truagh
connecting to the spirit in its whole
losing my mind & finding my soul
at the doorway to the innermost
peace that i’ll ever find when i go
connects me to the spirit in its whole
losing my mind and findin my soul
connect to earth, root down
discover purpose, become free
roots down, water me
i grow, becoming free (2x)
