Zen Approach
DJ Krush Lyrics

Line for line, you gotta get it done
Every sentence in this verse must be precise and executed with intention.

Little at a time, Zen approach
Achieving your goals gradually allows for a less stressful approach.

Gradually, I'ma get mine
Success comes with time and hardwork, but it is achievable with a disciplined mindset.

Black Thought from the legendary 5th don
Black Thought is from the acclaimed group, The Roots.

You wasn't payin attention
You were not focused or attentive to the previous lines.

I'm henchin to hit the entrance
I am eager and ready to make an impact on the music scene.

Trenchin it was no means to intervention
Working hard to achieve my goals required my full effort and attention.

A dollar bill would make a hundred ten yen, son
Expenses are relative to the situation or location, and may have different values in different areas.

How much you willing ta sacrifice ta win, huh?
What are you willing to give up to reach success?

I personally I paid mines
I have made my contributions to the music industry and put in my fair share of work.

And then some climbed up an inch bit at a time
I gradually worked my way to the top, each success building on the last.

Now who's the zen one
Who is calm and collected while achieving their goals?

If not self whom else can you depend on?
If you can't rely on yourself, who else can you trust?

Friends gonna say it's alright and probably they been wrong
Friends may unintentionally give bad advice, even if they mean well.

I got them battlefield dents in my armor
I have faced struggles and challenges, but have persevered and grown from them.

A twitch from the drama
My past struggles may still affect me mentally.

The trees and bad karma
Negative experiences can accumulate and have lasting effects.

But still I'm precision, proceedure performer
Despite past struggles, I still approach my work with efficiency and focus.

We operate every night, and leave in the morning
I am constantly working on my craft, always improving and growing.

Ta getchoo high as a kyte's the reason you want it
The euphoria music brings is a big reason why people enjoy it.

It's like a direct flight from freezin ta burnin hot shit
Music can take you on an emotional journey from highs to lows.

The audience fiend fa this fix
The audience craves the rush that comes with good music.

And KRUSH come wit the guillotine fa this mix, like...

Yo, who got they fingers on the carousel locked in position
Who controls the turntables and sets the beat for the music?

It got to be my man, the turntable tactician
The skilled and strategic DJ controls the beat.

You all at hush cause I ain't try to listen
The audience is quiet because they are fully immersed in the music.

You wanna feel its realness, the Rik's spittin

The music is so good it is overwhelming, causing physical reactions in the audience.

The only thing that you can do is rock the rythm
The audience can't help but move to the music.

Don't put em down
Don't criticize or diminish the success of others in the industry.

Cause see the world we're at now
The music industry and world at large is complex and ever-changing.

See me lickin rhymes, rappin like a five of rounds
Watch me rap and spit lyrics with skill and precision.

And a you now ain't true to find the zenfinite sound and a
You won't find the perfect, ideal sound in music.

The revolution poppin off right now
There is a big change happening in the music industry currently.

I make you rase your fist, raisin up right

Raise your fist that busted the flag like blahhh
Symbolically raise your fist to defy and resist oppressive systems.

Niggas gettin em broke
People in the industry may be taken advantage of or exploited.

Let's take things slow and focus on the most important people in the industry.

When your blade's sharp as mine
When your skills are as sharp and precise as mine.

Me and my man runnin Japan
Myself and my collaborator are successful in the Japanese music scene.

The sound got the power to heal
Music can have a therapeutic and healing effect on people emotionally.

It's like the Green Mile, now I need an hour to chill
Making and performing music can be exhausting and take a toll on the artist's mental and physical health.

A 1/4 of a kill ta burn while patrillin the field
Enjoying marijuana helps the artist cope with the stress of the music industry.

I'm puttin rappers out cold
I am rising to the top of the industry, surpassing my peers.

I done rap from Tokyo to the North Pole
I have performed my music all around the world.

Whenever my man program the passcode
When my collaborator controls the music and sets the tone.

Drummers see the 5th
The rhythm of the drums shapes the direction of the music.

And yo, KRUSH come wit a gullotine fa this mix, like...
DJ Krush brings a sharp, powerful energy to the music like a guillotine slicing through the mix.
