Unlocking Zen: Opollo Heights' Journey Through Life's Labyrinth
Lyrics
By explaining these things to you
Introducing the intention to clarify certain concepts
I shall subject you to a very serious hoax
Warning of a significant deception or trick
Because if I allow you to leave here this evening
Expressing a consequence if the listener departs with a false understanding of Zen
Under the impression that you understand something about zen
Highlighting the risk of misunderstanding Zen and missing the true essence
You would have missed the point entirely
Emphasizing the importance of not misconstruing the essence of Zen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition, possibly for emphasis or rhythmic effect
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Since I was a youngen I've been holding back a different page, in different ways
Describing a history of restraining oneself in various situations
Pocket full of reasons, running from the truth, a different age - I mitigate
Mentioning a pocket full of reasons and running from the truth as a coping mechanism
Situations that I'm feeling got me in a different place, different state
Dealing with challenging situations and being in a different mental state
Forbidden fruit I'm peeling got me higher than the Empire State, then I wait
Using forbidden fruit metaphorically, reaching a heightened state, and waiting
Pacquiao, I feel it hitting me
Referencing Pacquiao and feeling the impact of something
Rapping bout' "I'm tripping liberty"
Lyrically mentioning "tripping liberty" as a theme
Capping bout' the shoe that's fitting me
Talking about wearing a metaphorical shoe that fits
And I've been acting out my trauma willingly
Admitting to acting out trauma willingly
Im smoking marijuana like its grenadine
Metaphorically using marijuana like grenadine, possibly alluding to enjoyment
Sweet tooth since I was seventeen
Having a sweet tooth since a young age
Treat youth with the better means and they be shining bright like fluorescent green
Treating youth with better means, leading to a positive and vibrant outcome
Grinded out of the depressive teen
Emerging from a depressive teenage state
I've seen better days I thought I'd never see
Experiencing better days than expected
Dropping out a distant memory
Leaving behind a distant memory, possibly of dropping out
Cause I was dropping out of the hegemony
Rejecting conformity or control, symbolized by "dropping out of the hegemony"
I got my own path, my own legacy
Claiming an independent path and legacy
I've been talented since elementary
Asserting talent since elementary school
I've been balanced since I found my energy
Achieving balance after finding personal energy
I search for happiness, I've found my recipe yeah
Expressing the search for happiness and finding a personal recipe for it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition, possibly for emphasis or rhythmic effect
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-I shall subject you to a very serious hoax
Reiteration of the earlier warning about a serious deception or hoax
