Oasis (feat. José Mar​í​a Fierro) [prod. by Apollo V]

from Paradox Chapter Two by Karim Rushdy

lyrics

Chorus
he been tryna tell us this forever man
but nobody wanna listen to the weather man
dig deep down, these are the basics
let God lead you straight to your oasis

Verse1, Karim Rushdy
infiltrated
by a billionaire’s will that’s ill-fated
how can we sit back and
watch sins kill sacred
another non- rehabilitated jail bird that’s still rapist
like contractor man who builds basements that feel makeshift
i reveal blatant truths hidden by veiled fakeness
the curtain call falls on us all so these apathetic methods we're reppin? feels basic but we'll make it we'll make it
we’ll make it if we break the hate matrix and
look beyond colours shapes and faces - the secret of humanity is in spirituality
the soul is placeless - so if we put in work to rearrange this arrangement - imagine where the soul will take us
find beauty in the absence of facelifts...elemental homeostasis oasis

Chorus

Verse 2, Karim Rushdy
i paid to be camouflaged
i chose to be part of the mirage
to blend in you gotta have no flaws
but that’s so odd when God made a collage
deep down you got a need to free
so why ridin with these trapped kids? tweedly dee
and twiddle dum on the speakers so you’re tweeting your feet
and you’re twiddling thumbs are little fiddles that speaks
so put your hands to together if you’re feeling this beat
but more importantly the lyrics that help you be fresh and free
so you can live a better life until you’re dead and deceased
so if you’re ready to reach then you should let in the breeze
and let it confirm the turn 180 degrees
it won’t happen right away but like maybe this week
there’s no time for vacillation when east is what you're facin
find beauty in spiritual levitation - oasis.

Chorus

Verse3, José María Fierro
Ooh I found the oasis
To exist in a place that is placeless, nameless
Just to find what grace is
You gotta let God lead you to your oasis
Yo I've always been a little parched
Always looking for a drink and so I followed the stars
And then I walked along the path that led me closer to art
An oasis, a place with the freedom of heart
I dove deep into the ocean of knowledge
Where lowly thoughts are abolished
And one is able to polish
The gems inside of them
And with my mind all astonished
I set about to demolish
All of the things that weren't honest
In my environment
And the result was a tranquil mind
Where I was free to roam around and seek a blissful time
Drink deep of the water that was large and spacious
So glad that I found the oasis

Outro, Karim Rushdy
And I never hesitate in my mind
I am so fortified till I die
I gotta have the love of God in my life
And if you feel different at all that’s fine
But if you wanna come along for this ride
And break free from the chains inside
Then open up your spiritual eyes
And feel love for all mankind
My oasis.
