lyrics

[Bruce Lee sample - Intro]
This is what it is, ok
I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless like water
Now you put water into a cup
It becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle
It becomes the bottle
You put it in the teapot
It becomes the teapot
Now water can flow or it can crash
Be water, my friend

[FenaxiZ - Verse One]
It's so beautiful the way my life's improved
Ever since I replaced my heavy heart with a lighter mood
And it brought me up, from the clowns, I'm twice removed
It's all or nothing, I don't fight to lose
Early morning, meditate, lotus position
Clear my head, set it straight to focus my vision
Since I got a lotta of eyes to open, mouths to shut
When my team was down on our luck, so many doubted US!
Well, now what's up, I got the streets under lock and key
On top of the world that used to be on top of me
All because I'm spreading my name
Shaking hands, making fans, collecting my change
Tryna stay at least ten steps ahead of this game
I got my sights set, yo, I've steadied my aim
And at the end of this day when it's all said and done
I'm just getting started so my best has yet to come

[FenaxiZ - Chorus]
Balance, perseverance, and discipline
Fools speak while the wise stay listening
I am the sole controller of the universe
First shall be last, the last shall be first
The mind's a weapon, the body a temple
Nothing's forever, death is eventual
Always follow the flow, never fight with it
And these are the ways to enlightenment

[FenaxiZ - Verse Two]
Forget the politricks, cheap gimmicks, and weak lyrics
If it ain't from the heart, I don't need to hear it
That's the way it goes, I'm outspoken with my mouth open
When I put my foot down, I leave the ground broken
But on another note, I'm about to detonate
Like *boom* so call the bomb squad, I'm a sec away
Plus my status ain't your average ordinary
When it comes to this cabbage, homie, the more the merry
And shouts to my freedom fighters, power to the people
It ain't sweet in these streets, shit's sour like the diesel
That my man AD80 rolls up or Alex Dimez smokes up
With that bong vapor, while your money is short
We spending long paper, I got a calm nature
But on the low, I'm a Mad Man, Don Draper
And Wylie said that we're born for this game
Can't argue with that, give US! the fortune and fame

[FenaxiZ - Chorus]
Balance, perseverance, and discipline
Fools speak while the wise stay listening
I am the sole controller of the universe
First shall be last, the last shall be first
The mind's a weapon, the body a temple
Nothing's forever, death is eventual
Always follow the flow, never fight with it
And these are the ways to enlightenment

[Fenaxiz - Verse Three]
As sure as the sun shines and rain falls
Success breeds envy, that's never gonna change, y'all
Snakes are always quick to run up in your ear
So I believe half of what I see, none of what I hear
And these lames, they acting like groupies
Never used to say shit, now they gimme dap like they knew me
From before rap when I was paying my dues
Haters and fools couldn't spend a day in my shoes
And I'm grinding, tryna sign a couple sponsorships
To eat like a king and touch the seven continents
And every action has an equal and opposite consequence
So I approach the mic with common sense and confidence
And get in the lab with a pen and a pad
Check my levels, press record, then spit what I have
All in all, I'm simply me
Hip-hop without Fen, that's like TymE without an MPC

[FenaxiZ - Chorus]
Balance, perseverance, and discipline
Fools speak while the wise stay listening
I am the sole controller of the universe
First shall be last, the last shall be first
The mind's a weapon, the body a temple
Nothing's forever, death is eventual
Always follow the flow, never fight with it
And these are the ways to enlightenment
