Analysis of Preparation



Legendary faces
styles, visions
of traveling to brand new worlds
and meeting old places
filling spaces
interpreting love for hatred
and exposing real for fakeness
kind of sacred
this thing called life
takes a close magnification
in order to examine it with sight
I might
as well be one of those folks on that plane
ain't no difference we all waitin' on God to
call our name
just a shame
nothin' but a shame
that it takes this example
for people to start using their brain
perspective
and putting life in the collective
instead of taking it for granted
treating it like an exception
guard life like the heart guards emotions
and you won't be afraid
when those gates began to open
