Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today is for you ay
Today is a new day
Today is for you ay
All that shit that you did
Don’t let it sit in your head
Don’t let it sit you in bed
Get up and get til you live
Show them the gift
Show them the shit
Known to forget
Shit that’s normal as shit
Like mortals get sick
Portals to this
And morals get fixed
The moral of this
There’s a war in the midst
Peace and war in the mix
There be some more in the bit
There be some shit that you thought you’d never see
Put you in a place that you thought you’d never be
But here you are
And I can hear you all
I can
Heal you all
But you don’t hear me, ah
It’s all good
It’s all love
It’s all love
We live
And we learn
When it’s done
We get
In return
What we’ve done
We live
And we learn
Til we done
Today is a new day
Today is for you ay
Today is a new day
Today is for you ay
Step back
It’s just a minor setback
Just remind yourself that
Control your mind and then act
A thoughts no minor impact
I put mine in a rap
Then I put mine in the past
Find sublime in a flash
If I don’t find my peace I might crash
Purposefully I might add
Please don’t worry bout me
Or my bag
While I work on my chi
Am I bad
Fuck all the talking, lead by example
Meaningless ramble
Leave me to handle
The thoughts that divide
Til I find peace that I can hand you
It’s just a sample
From me and you
Inner truth
Enter you
Then you see the proof
The energy
Sent from me
Really be from you
So when you feel alone
You really home
Yea, when you feel alone
You really known

Purposefully I might add

While I focus on my inner harmony
Am I bad
Am I doing something wrong?
Fuck all the talking, lead by example
Actions speak louder than words
Meaningless ramble
Pointless chatter
Leave me to handle
Let me take care of it
The thoughts that divide
The mental barriers that separate us
Til I find peace that I can hand you
Until I can offer you a peaceful existence
It’s just a sample
This is just a small taste
From me and you
From both of us
Inner truth
Personal, authentic beliefs
Enter you
Become a part of your being
Then you see the proof
Only then will you know for sure
The energy
The essence of life
Sent from me
Coming from me
Really be from you
Actually a part of yourself
So when you feel alone
During moments of isolation
You really home
You are still connected to life
Yea, when you feel alone
Even during the toughest of times
You really known
You are still loved and appreciated
