about

track # 4 of hermetechknowledGee.

lyrics

we are not this flesh shell / the hearts in our ribs, are like the bars on a crib or a flesh cell / insanity & self-absorbed vanity mesh well / obsession with the pleasures of the flesh, cuz sex sells / commercialism, hurts our inner vision, hurts our little children / little squirts aren't worth dirt, they're worth zillions / barbie doll culture, couture vultures preying / and though your true worth is within, who's saying? / greedy demons so strategic, quick to put you down / turn around with planned product placement, like you need it! / grads passin' colleges to follow the dollar / while hermetic scholars master the elements and kabbalah / between the two, i'll always choose the latter / reach for the hung fruit above the rung loose on jacob's ladder / kung fu grammar, the hammer to shatter your caboose / dung drop data, with don dada patterns to boot / derail your train of thought's intended destination / extend pretend limbs to caress a stressed nation / suspended animation, livin' out of body so long that i forgot how to feel / you gotta learn let it go to ever let it be real, / i'm dead set on gettin' over so i better be hermetically sealed /  trapped inside a body, like a ghost in a shell / rappin' is a hobby, but i roast like its hell / most like it, well i appreciate the sentiment / perversion meets courtesy equals subversive gentleman / pulverize the lies, until there's truth within the sediment / wrap it up in cynicism, packaged, sent in sentences / despite my best intentions, i'm destined to make some heads spin / i meddle in lyricism, why meddle in medicine? / 
wake up to the day, look at the sky, salute the sun & moon / the revolution's coming soon.....

evolution's coming too..... as life cycles in circles & the world turns, the question is.... what are the revolutions coming to?
