Fly with the Seasons Feat. Yosi Mesbah, Paolo Escobar

from Paradox Chapter One by Karim Rushdy

/

lyrics

Chorus, Yosi Mesbah:
So if you wanna fly with the seasons then go
I’ll be here diggin trying to make seeds grow
And if you wanna leave you should leave, but you should know
I always got time if you’re coming back home
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Verse 1, Karim Rushdy:
I took a sip, and then another, of that sweet juice
then i tripped, yah a slipped into a bleak noose
And as I dangled in the cold air
There was no love that I could hold there - my bitter sweet truth
all i wanted was for once to make a new way
it’s like i couldn't love the nest until i flew away
but as i stepped into the dark world
my selfish dreams became my doomsday - this is my crusade.
caught in a rainstorm i couldn't see beyond it's drops
eyes closed. time froze to find my calmest thoughts
Then I remembered mom and pops
With their honest talks ... sayin never say that all is lost

Chorus

Verse 2, Karim Rushdy
full circle like a planet
i went from hero to bandit
i was a hero to my family why'd I leave what i was handed?
how did bad habits become that savage?
uhn? man it's hard for me think about
all the pain that i inflicted out
just cause i felt like i was missing out
but i was missed even when hate spewed from my livid mouth
hard times equals hard choices
so how did good times become evil voices?
in my head telling me that i should live joyless, till i did poison
I always had this love just never voiced it

Chorus

Verse 3, Paolo Escobar:
We used to walk with one hand on a tool when paranoia set
Chiraq from the days my youth I always had a strap
Never a day you caught me slippin was drippin with ammunition
Outfitted with tre 8s nines and loaded gats
Fat stacks in a stash box below the racks
Slung rocks at L stops to ensure the roll was fat
Homie you know me as that soul singin smooth cat
Past in the past but it ain't too far behind me jack
I'm still nervous what could bubble to surface
So I follow Baha'u'llah and dedicated my life to service
With knowledge of how my music could directly affect the youth
Instead of spittin out gun bars I decided to take the path of truth
In a time when divine thought is unthinkable
The boat is sinking and content is looking pitiful
Bleak is how the future looks
Speaks volumes on spiritual
Peaks are what they lookin for
seeking something more meaningful
Beats are nothing more than just platforms for speaking on
Something more important than cash guns and getting some
Beats are nothing more than just platforms for speaking on
Something more important than cash guns and getting some
