about

OMA, One Mind Aware, Oshun Maka Anthm. That's my family right there I love them like soulmates, I thank them for helping me become Anthm. This song was perfect at the time cause it came when I was probly at my most doubtful. a night of smoking and good food then sitting in Oshun's room writing produced one stellar and helpful track.

lyrics

I mean there's never enough money, there's never enough time
I don't really think I can do this by myself
I mean I live in real life
you gotta pursue life
you can't chase dreams right? what am I supposed to do?

Chase your dreams and grip them tight,
in the midst of the night reach for the light,
feed into your appetite for rhymes and mics,
you're dynamite!
Blowing up the satellites,
evicting all the parasites,
aim your arrow line of sight
it's time to live a brighter life.
No divide, no black or white
no stress or fear, no guilt or strife.
Freedom is our human right,
release your mind and be the light.
Choose the road less traveled by,
elevate, it's time to rise,
open ears, wide open eyes,
I'm speaking clear,
You're hearing, right?

Live your dream, you are free,
no more lies,
you are the lion breaking out of the cage.
Victory is in your hand,
make a fist and take your stand,
live for today because the moment is all we have.

what can I do?
take a higher point of view
what should I do?
take a higher point of view
what must I do?
take a higher point of view
you've got the keys to your dreams please believe me when I tell you
what can I do?
take a higher point of view
what should I do?
take a higher point of view
what must I do?
take a higher point of view
you've got the keys to your dreams please believe me when I tell you

Isn't it ironic sitting round' smoking chronic
thinking I'm finding myself sipping on this gin and tonic
but all these in betweens keep us far from our dreams
when walking in and out of shadows tings ain't really what dem' seem
most circles we revolve dissolve and don't evolve
so nothing in my world gets solved at all
til' we fall short of our goals and aspirations
but have no fear it's not a final destination
you're more than enough
but only you can make it true
you're as limitless as the god that created you
when I am confused and I know not what to do
I turn my eyes to the sky and take a higher point of view

what can I do?
take a higher point of view
what should I do?
take a higher point of view
what must I do?
take a higher point of view
you've got the keys to your dreams please believe me when I tell youwhat can I do?
take a higher point of view
what should I do?
take a higher point of view
what must I do?
take a higher point of view
you've got the keys to your dreams please believe me when I tell you

open up my eyes seeming like the same day
but no reason for ever seeing it the same way
let go of my doubts destructive little nay says
take a leap of faith in myself and oh how things change
it's true some things don't really work the way you plan it
but destiny is taken rarely is it ever just granted
in the past I would ask now I demand it
had to live life first before I could start to understand it
choosing to grow beyond my minds confines
open to the world and let my little light shine bright
I owe it to myself to find a place where I'm right
I owe it to myself to find my place divine right
