5 Minutes (feat. JC & James Hopkins) [Prod. By JC]

from Paradox Chapter Two by Karim Rushdy

lyrics

Verse 1
imagine the equivalent of God streaming a live image
but instead of subscribe to channel He said confide in this
it takes less than 5 minutes to dive in it
would you take the plunge? or would you buy gimmicks?
and what if all the lies finished with you and your pride diminished
now think back would you give back all the time given?
to a wasted space that was made from hate
if only we could face the grace of God then maybe we could trace what we find in it
Like.. I've heard that love lives where the mind isn't
but my mind was divinely given. made out of love
so i guess i see with divided vision. one for this world
and the other for above where i'm livin
i just wanna be heard but rarely do i listen
trying to live a spiritual lifestyle is like my mind’s eye trying to undergo nuclei fission.
that's why with the soul there's a fine a line between less than five minutes and lifetime...it's timed different

Chorus

Verse 2
life is like a mystery. when you begin ta/
solve the puzzle, you can see in the, enigma/
they say the lion is the king, but how'd he do in three winters?/
look into a polar bear’s eyes, hakunamatata man I see Simba!/
i’m deep in the perfect paradox pictured in reverse then painted with these fingers
a.k.a. i’m writing rhymes while intoxicated by the finest wine - the love of God
just to help you unbelieve stigma
and so i reach into, the conundrum of life
and pull you out.
if you let heaven speak for five minutes you'll feel peace in the
centre of your soul. and you can decipher
the despair and bleak life of these pied pipers
and speak sweet streams from spiritually free vistas
if time is of the essence then the essence needs remixes a.ka. please let it be switched up
