(Rap Genius Lyrics Found Here; Normal Lyrics Below)
[Verse 1]
Day One, I invent paper,
Then look around I found myself on a college ruled acre
Looking east, I go there and prepare
To get sustenance from vegetables shout out to nature.
Day Two, I invent pencils,
Then trace my brain, outlined on the page with a stencil.
Puffing lentil between dentals before Popeye;
Laser focused on nowhere with my blind hawk eyes.
Day Three, I invent Rhythm. I’m that guy.
The whole ecosystem bobbing head with him.
Visions of the future seems my creator hid them.
“Seconds. Where y’all going?” I’m starting to miss them,
Day Four, I invent poetry.
Before Yiruma, I found the flow in me.
Other animal ridicule; jokingly,
Then I destroy the close minded, openly
[Hook]
One Day I’m made from the clay of Cassius,
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
One Day I’m made from the clay of Cassius,
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
Day Five, I invent melody.
To give my words time to play with some company.
Add a little counterpoint and a couple timpani.
Then accidentally smoke a whole forest. Hickory.
Day Six, I invent Hip hop.
From there, I figured that I would never stop.
Now I don’t know who it was who invented pop or country.
It’s not me so hold the phone.
Day Seven, I invent the microphone.
Hmmm. I wonder.
That was me thinking I should invent the first song
And that song is what’s been playing all along.
Day Eight, I invent humans.
To give a way this soul food that they’re consuming
After putting my elaborate plan to movement,
I fade away to nirvana with my favorite Buddhist.
[Hook]
One Day I’m made from the clay of Cassius,
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
One Day I’m made from the clay of Cassius,
Then reborn from the burnt bridges ashes.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
This is the revelation of my genesis.
[Verse 3]
Invented paper to savor this emotion.
Wrote this genesis of rhetoric, unlike electric can’t resist.
This sets the precedence for the rest of this dissonance.
I’ll speak this stream of consciousness even without an audience.
Heart of a lion cloaked in a brown human pelt.
Mind your business. Enjoy your ride on conveyor belts.
What do you when everyone wants to escape?
While I’m on a mission to go find myself and relate.
Sleep is for the dead, I’ll live forever so I’m restless.
Me, myself and I the only one on this guest list.
Party of one. Celebrating our essence.
Not a graven image that we paint for the masses.
Can’t accept your bills your social currency is counterfeit.
Died ten times. I’m out of lives now that I think of it.
The conclusion, I’ve included is a great revelation
Every ending’s followed by the light of a genesis.
Here’s a preview of the track art for the song “A More”. A song about a man’s close amor, wanting “a more”.
Here’s a short poem I wrote called prayer of a creative soul

Since I have limited access to internet due to laptop running slow I haven’t been able to upload youtube content, music etc like I want so I decided my next project is going to be a book exploring my personal philosophy and philosophical topics in general. So in preparation for this project, I have wrote this article. Mind you I typed this from phone off the top of my head as a kind of “freewrite” so forgive me for any mistakes.
People sometimes ask what my religion is and I’ve never known what to say. This is my attempt to put a label on it. I call it…
Creative Pantheism. What is it? Well Pantheism is the belief that all things are God. I believe that everything and everyone is as to God as cells are to us. The sum of all the parts of this universe equal to God and each person or thing is designed to play a specific microscopic role even if we aren’t aware of its macroscopic implications. Creative Pantheism adds one more principle to Pantheism, that is, the idea that an act of creation and creativity is the universe’s purpose. I’ve always said “The universe is a void screaming to be filled.” But what about destruction? Well, destruction is a type of creation in the way that it frees up raw material to be rearranged like lego pieces (this is why I believe legos are so popular, they reflect a fundamental principle of the universe)
Boom! There it is, creative Pantheism.
Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed like, follow and share so you can be alerted when the next philosophical tid bit is released.

LYRICS
[Verse]
Cumulus clouds culminate/
Fears in the guts cultivates/
Hearts harden/
Hurts harvest from the gardens rows today
Feathery Friends Blow Away/
Hitch hiker friends towed away/
Wishing for springs so, this pain can soldiers march away/
It’s hot my summer heater, better than a winter fan but/
Never trust a man, sometimes mother nature, they hacker like a cheater/
Hewlett Packard (pack her) like some peanuts/
yet the secrets underground like good music/
Sometimes there’s gold in silent sounds/
Cumulus clouds culminate/
Fears in the guts cultivates/
Hearts harden/
Hurts harvest from the gardens rows today
With ambidextrous hands even if I had to amputate/
Even though there’s nothing left everything’s as right as rain/
[Refrain] x2
Even though there’s nothing left everything’s as right as rain/
right as rain/ x2
[Bridge] x2
Don’t care if I get drench wash in the drops till I’m replenished/ x2
When I’m finished, clean like Ferrari’s newly tinted/
In books of guiness/ Breaking records for straight winnings
Here’s an eargasm that Brian from our brother site www.rnwdgaf.wordpress.com sent me here voice is so sexy 😉
ALSO the first song from our group album “DGAF” has been released “Forest of Poetrees” ft. Me and Divine Linez over an instrumental composed by myself you should definitely check it out!!!

When you are designing your creative project your choices are unlimited. Your job as the creator is to reduce this possibilities to choices that will enhance the function and/or aesthetic of your creation. How do you know what’s beneficial to the overall purpose or beauty of the piece? Through Law II, planning and giving order to your creation.
