lyrics

Verse 1
Can you feel me? I’m lost in the music
And times stopped but I’m thinking I’ll use it
To figure out or maybe just muse it
This night air got an air that could soothe it
I bet you I’d blow like uranium
If they took my track and ran it back like Ladanian
To dissect all the thoughts from my cranium
When I’m meditating in the Mediterranean
I wonder, what could life bring?
If they never killed King or the son of the king
Damn, I zone off in the vision
And touch subconscious and metacognition
I just listen to God through the mist
My faith is this, soul can’t get missed
I can’t spit, my skin ain’t onyx
So I turn to the pen and add two to a sonnet

Hook x2
Pondering life cause I got life
Thinking bout all these people that I’m not like
Spitting game to this chick cause she hot right
As life passes me by at the stop light

Verse 2
Can she feel me? I see the chick winking
To my left, so I drift from my thinking
Cause she’s fine and seductive but it’s not right
To make her the spotlight at the stoplight
Cause I got like a hundred other problems
And these chicks’ll get you sidetracked don’t involve ’em
So I evolve from my id and avoid it
And just wave to the chick cause I’m buoyant
I feel poignant, somebody give a hand to me
Why I got to live the harder way like Anfernee?
But it’s part of His plan for me (to make me stronger)
So thank You for my family
And being present in becoming times
And every fan that I come to find
Who never liked rap till they heard colorblind
So maybe ‘Enough’ will stop other Columbine, I’m

Hook x2

Verse 3
Can you feel me, or feel my message?
I need answers, I’m all out of questions
But it came through intricate adolescence
That I got to do calc to count blessings
Cause God’s got a funny way of making things
Work out to the fullest through vacant things
Or so they seemed till the lesson
Shine through now I’m looking luminescent
I guess we got to see the essence
Of the floor, to value life when it’s florescent
Life is a present
In the present, now I’m all out of breath and
Looking to my left and full of epinephrine
Trying to keep my life from ever being evanescent
Life is a mess if, divine don’t intervene
So I’ma just pray till my light turn green

Hook x2

Bridge x2 (Brian Allison)
At the stoplight
You know I’m not like
These guys that might
Got they eyes on you

Outro
Close your eyes and just vibe with me right now
I’m in my zone right now
Prop-T you’re a genius
Take my soul away man
Hope ya’ll enjoyed The Architect
And every aspect of His building
God live on through me
Peace
