doing a deep dive into
these awards that scream
oh a fresh love
oh to open in the ways those before us has
ode to those before us that have
taken the skin of their backs and broke it down
for the way it goes
to the way to show it
i am in awe
i am in love
i am intrust of you
i thank you
i am trusting you
i
am walking steps because of a path laid so rich
so powerfully
by you
how do i really express these words
how do i show up in the ways i was shown growing up
yo do be infused by these legends
in my blood
to know that we are because we are is a magic that i didnt realize i was gonna ever know
to be believed in before they even knew i was coming
before they even knew that any of us was coming
yo to those that paved the way THANK YOU
Jah THANK YOU
this gratitude pumps through my vein like the water that flows in the stream
but that doesnt do it justice
what does it the music that i get to be immersed in because it was given to me by God
through those that were, that are doing the Lord’s work
my GOD i THANK YOU
a feel your grace being with these people that showed and is still showing us
i feel you in their voice
in their steps
in their music
in their power
in their creation
my GOD i feel you flowing in me
i feel the breath that is life
i feel the trust
i feel the channel opening
i feel that this is how you make it
you make IT
you make whatever it is to become whatever that births in you
you are birthing me
and birthing me
and showing me
and showing others and showing that there is a way for us to become more than we ever knew because we are supposed to be more than we ever knew, more than what was ever here because it literally isnt here yet
we have to create it
we have to become it
there are those of us that are just now stepping into the limelight
stepping into the Lord’s light
stepping into the ways that we’ve be given
all i know is do be grateful for the chance to be open
for the chance to figure it out
for the chance to just create
for that chance to take a chance
for the chance to find my rhythm
for the chance to play with what already is
to play what the right now
to develop right now
its my chance
its my honor
its my scope to deliver the ever changing development of this being
this rich being
this power in her stride kinda being that shows and shows and shows that this shit isnt perfect
but THATS THE BEAUTY
my beauty and yours to
all of ours
to come from such a prolific time
to be the seed of such a prolific era feels like a blessing more than i t h i n k i can even capacitate
and thats the everlasting problem
i, we can never know what we are set to capacitate.
all we can do is continue on with the steps that are laid out in front of us
just do it
be it try it to
become it
we’ve heard it before
there’s no one that can take it from us now
we are delivering the next layer of love
the next layer of trust to a world that is looking for us
we have a gift that others need
the world needs us
the world needs to bear witness to our creation the world need to see our raw form
they need to hear our raw form
our UGH form
our grunt form
our AUGHHHHHHHHHHH form
the kind that makes the y o u want to jump out your skin
because its getting good
that is the best work
thats the work that feels alive
not the work that simply makes sense
not the work that flows because it has to
not the work that says the same thing
we are shifting the dynamic of this plane
keeping going
and dont ever stop
do ever stop developing
digger deeper
looking and playing with what is supposed to be known from you
what is your o u r body of work
you only create your life’s work by being it
pass the love
pass the freedom
live in the van
have sex with the moon
hold and contain your energy
to blossom something well
and good
and ready for the next level
i am ready for the next level
my God
may it be true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
for
you
for us
for the creation of life
for us to understand the super
power that be.
wow — what a space to be in
that God i came in when i did
to witness this moment in time we are in
this is fucking beautiful
may i open so that this depth i have in me can flip inside out to expose the roots of a well oiled system
on that has been being worked on for this very moment right here to rise
i rise
i rise i rise dammit
i rise beyond and through what anyone ever knew
i rise above everything ive already said
that already said
may the depths be described in a way that shows people a different way
may i take it a step further
may my words be ones that people can carry with them
may this prayer be one that touches the soul of someone that is walking with me
may it pull a sister up
showing the brothers that its time
may we realize how much it is time for us to
r i s e
may everlasting peace be upon you,
jas
