Feather
Nujabes & Cyne Lyrics

Light as a feather when I'm floating through
I feel weightless and carefree as I navigate through life

Reading through the daily news
Staying informed about current events and worldly issues

Measuring the hurt within the golden rule
Assessing the pain and suffering that exists despite the principle of treating others how we want to be treated

Centimetres of ether, I'm heating the speaker
Using my words and music to inspire and motivate people

Motivational teacher with words that burn people
Being a source of inspiration through impactful and thought-provoking lyrics

Seeing the headlines lined with discord
Witnessing news stories filled with conflict and disharmony

It's either genocide or the planet in uproar
The headlines often depict either mass killings or global chaos

Never good. The rules of paradise are never nice
Even in an ideal world, things are not always pleasant or fair

The best laid plans of Mice and Men are never right
Despite careful planning, things often go awry

I'm just a Vagabond with Flowers for Algernon
I am a wanderer, constantly seeking knowledge and growth like the artist in the novel Flowers for Algernon

An Average Joe who knows what the fuck is going on
I may be an ordinary person, but I understand the reality of the world

It's the hope of my thoughts that I travel upon
I rely on the optimistic nature of my thoughts to guide me through life

Fly like an arrow of God until I'm gone, so I'm
I soar through life guided by a heavenly force, until the end

Taking chances, word tap dancing with wolves
I bravely take risks and engage in battles through the power of my words

In an ice arena out there, deep in the woods of Arizona
In a harsh and unforgiving environment, far away from civilization

The sun be high, life's ironic, ain't it?
Even in the harshest conditions, life can still shine brightly, highlighting the irony of existence

Trying to be Dale when I write
Striving to express myself creatively, similar to the legendary author Dale

Surreal Life, I paint it
I depict a reality that is strange and dreamlike through my artistic expression

Vivid, habitat crazy insane
The world I create with my words is vivid, chaotic, and mentally stimulating

Watchin' propaganda six o'clock news and it's saying
Observing biased information presented in the media during the evening news

Cultures clash, poor black folk and white trash
Witnessing the clashes between different cultures, including marginalized black communities and impoverished white communities

They revel in the cyberspace that might crash, dash
People find joy and escape in the online world, though it is fragile and can abruptly collapse

To millennium a million miles of running
Enduring a vast amount of challenges and obstacles throughout the course of history

At the speed of now back, don't return gunning
Moving forward swiftly and determinedly, without looking back or seeking revenge

Rambo style, gung-ho child gunning
Approaching life with determination, courage, and a fighting spirit

Ammo blao two times, loud stunning
Using powerful ammunition to create a strong impact and leave a lasting impression

Stunning, when I hit ya, lift you off the Earth like
My words and music have the ability to elevate and uplift you

Ayo, take you right back to birth and
Transporting you to a primal state of purity and new beginnings

Niggas wonder why, they might wonder why
People may question or be curious about the reasons behind certain events or situations

This shit might happen but it does, they go
Unpredictable and unexpected events occur, and people continue to move forward

Treat you better than me 'cause that's the heavenly key
I prioritize treating others with kindness and compassion, as it is a divine virtue

To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be
By doing so, I tap into my true power and reveal my authentic self

It's the knowledge and self-understanding of the things around me
Having awareness and insight into the world and oneself

That becomes the wisdom that I need
This understanding then becomes valuable wisdom in my life

Living this life to the best of my ability
Striving to make the most out of life, using my unique talents and skills

Channeling energy to my thoughts, attain symmetry
Directing my energy towards my thoughts and ideas, seeking harmony and balance

Remember me, because my prose remain gold
Leave a lasting impact and be remembered through my beautifully crafted words

I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangol
Blessed with the ability to communicate eloquently and persuasively, like the charismatic pimps in Kangol hats

It never ends, I keep it rolling like a cypher
My creative expression and flow of ideas are continuous and everlasting, like a rap cypher

The first caveman bringing fire
Innovating and introducing new ideas and concepts, just like the first caveman who discovered fire

Innovating and higher to plasma states I raise the stakes
Continually pushing boundaries and reaching new levels of creativity and intensity

It's double or nothing in this vacuum space
In this highly competitive and challenging environment, there are only two outcomes - great success or complete failure

I will, survive, divine the time to cry
I will endure and overcome hardships, finding strength to express my emotions when necessary

Fuck a hold or hide, I'm alive with pride
I refuse to cower or conceal myself, embracing life with confidence and self-assurance

And I drove the Chevy to the Levy
I embarked on a journey, symbolized by driving my Chevy car, to face a difficult situation or challenge

But the Levy was dry, singing 'This will be the day that I die'
However, I encountered disappointment or failure, reminiscent of the lyrics from the song 'American Pie' by Don McLean, which alludes to the end of an era
