take a breath but mind the spaces in between
change frustration into curiosity
graves on the avenue they’re selling them for cheap
leaders in power man they’re digging this hole deep..and I’m losing sleep

finally made my mind up changing my direction
folks are focused on materials i’m thinking bout the next thing
growing this movement through gentrified streets
chanting “loka samasta suki no bavantu” may all these beings know peace
open to the most high shining down good grace
open to the worst offender hold this sacred space
steam it builds tunkashila flowing through my channels
ancestors know the secrets all we have are broken answers
forgotten long ago my mistakes are still forgiven
need a reminder, rapé in my nostrils listen let the spirit in…listen let the spirit in…

take a breath but mind the spaces in between
change frustration into curiosity
graves on the avenue they’re selling them for cheap
leaders in power man they’re digging this hole deep..and I’m losing sleep

grounded by these crystals see i wear ‘em on my hands
animal extinction broken treaties stolen land
guilty of this paradigm so shift it back again
hands to heart I’m asking why bow down i’m tuning in
creator in the form of insects crawling on my wrists
reminded by the breath i take to open up my fists
taking all the time i need to focus on myself
collective needs a conscious mind well rested in good health
sliding down a rabbit hole is easy in a crowd
but grab a sign, cuz i’ve got mine, so let’s turn breath to sound

take a breath but mind the spaces in between
change frustration into curiosity
graves on the avenue they’re selling them for cheap
leaders in power man they’re digging this hole deep..and I’m losing sleep

medicine is healing if you let it crack your shell
receive without no judgment of what your mind may tell
youth are standing up for a future that we stole
least we can do is get a clue and help ‘em reach their goal
new leadership necessities are clearer more and more
food coming from the garden less and less from all these stores
we’ll tear these buildings down by changing our consumption
forage in the forest, make a home, and build a nest
people power has potential if we transfer from kinetic
so take this shovel, dig it deep, let’s fix this lost connection
step closer to the fire if you’re struggling to hear me
soon i’ll be gone and so will you so let me hear your heartbeat
let me hear your heartbeat 3x

take a breath but mind the spaces in between
change frustration into curiosity
graves on the avenue they’re selling them for cheap
won’t let these vampires suck all our energy...it’s time to get some sleep
