Oh man, we′re all ready at the end

The Art of Happiness

Syllable sensei

Running through your dojo like Netero

Wielding the syntax off the tips of my knuckles

I'm busy

Breaking the sound barrier to move the cosmos

And planetary bodies while bodying instrumentals, I′m

God

Body in a God Gundam, that's Domon Kasshu spitting Haikus

While, posed up like Kamina, my Kamikaze got you

Dancing in a mausoleum

Colosseum splitting them adversaries in defeat

I spit that, Last Poet

Cadence on that, Black Magic

Swanton to the Bomb, drop jewels up in the calm

Forgetting your accolades when I'm steady grooving souls

In a city where, Black bodies hold, philosopher stones

Vagabond′s the Oroku Saki, Muten Roshi

Urameshi spitting spirits over them caster shells

Dwelling on that Leyline

Alkahestry, shifting your history

Bringing that inner peace, or you′ll leave in

Pieces, solar systems in my thesis

Thesis counting solar system requiems

Dreaming on an astral plane, slick thought in fragments

Word smith, Ozymandias cater the

Blast radius, radiant sword tongue gleam

Under the moonlight, kenjutsu in my insight

Foresight too complex for their metaphors

Morphogenesis in shapes past your concepts

Exodus enlightenment peace sounds eclectic

Mercenary of Astral Clocktowers, I'm watching

Those who watch the watchmen, bury guards in vinyl

Press my ashes in hymns, from now till infinity, it′s

Five point palm, your heart's gone, the method

Ten point program, outline the aesthetics

Eight Trigrams, decipher the dianetics

With sixty-four, strikes, I leave foes just breathless

So what′s growth to your inner vision?

Outer wisdom counting on your proper prosper

Prosper glorious, your garden bloom through monsoons

A lotus reaching, from the mud to the, moon

Out of tune, out of reach, I seek things you can't see

A nameless king, wielding lightning in the right dreams, penning

Soul frequencies in the right key, unlock

Barriers of mind and spirit, I am the Griot

Orbiting celestial being, I am the Abbot who

Speaks in Morse code, I′m traveling Moors Gold

Babbling Bushido, while holding my soul's glow

No longer seeking key holes to see the world

A locksmith seeking cosmos to see the whole

Universal spectrum in my pen's serum

Disintegrate my circle for a tighter cypher

Ouroboros tongue, speaking for the sun

Speaker of the stars, coming undun

Unravel my weights like, Rock Lee

Tread lightly through nebula

The sage bleeds

Knowledge through the scholar who seek divine prophet

See through the sea of false prophets, I part it

Split dynasties in half, the last Jedi

See through your mind tricks when I speak the truth

An Alkahest who exists within the shift of paradigms

I climb, through astral charts, to shine

And smack the color blind, in hues, of rhythm and blues

Pursue, the rose aura

Dual wield psalms, like arms

My

Arms, like Guanyin

Hundred-type, ascending

In combat, my alms, be, Samurai Jack, just

Jacking for beats, I study ancient techniques

From on, the mountain′s peak, an isolated beast, like

Trainer Red, command flames, with Charizard

Collapse chakras, hold fires like Avatar

Roku

Carefree like, Goku

Chapter Black Saga, defeat likes, of Shinobu

Successor of the Fist of the North Star

I′ll shatter your whole frame, to maintain the golden status of

The Dragon Hermit

Dragon of the Midwest

Dragon Quarter lyricist, infernos in my penmanship, like

Makoto Shishio, secret swords, I blaze souls

Makoto, third strike, split heaven and insight

I move, with the density of a nimbus cloud

Somersaulting snap kicks, leave you unconscious

My poetry's deep, leave them drowning, in the flow

My poetry′s deep, leave them drowning, in the flow

My poetry's deep, leave them drowning, in the flow

My poetry′s deep, seek crowns

While cutting down rapper's with a guillotine leg drop

Figure four to the leg lock, figure eights, I figured my rhymes

Equivalent to Goku′s potential left crews fragile

Like Glass Menagerie, actual artifacts, sniper shots

From the Almanac, brotha, it's crunch time

Pit of Lazarus, half hazardous, heaven sent

Half evanescent, Freakzoid, pair of noise

Mind, mobilizing like the Megazord

Plasma sword, beam saber equipped to the hilt

That's one cut and one kill

Slicker rhythms when I breeze through and bless the system

Systematically Static Shocking the stereo systems

Have them listen through the whispers of these metaphors

Sharpen my syllables on the skulls of my opponents, God

I be that

Sleeping Dragon of the Terra Godz, going live

Flying high, rocking them scars, from my knuckles to the sky

ONSOL attacking the scene from the blind side

Scheming on these demons, moving through the universe

Half a bar from Vagabond, slaughter your whole catalog

Sweeping metaphors to a four-four signature

Power level tearing scouters asunder

Wonder, how I walk with skies, like Ankin, my

Etymology′s slaying frequencies

Hitokiri getting groovy on the astral plane

Wildin′

Out on nebula, to unlock my chakra

I'm piecing realities, on the breath of my synergy

I Conjure, limitless, spells

I drown, lyricist, well

A black, miracle, dwells

Beyond, infinite, cells

I broke free, to see, the whole tapestry

Two verses ain′t enough for my poetry

Twin dragon dragging chariots from heaven

I'm warring with puppeteers

Cut strings, like Zaheer

I peer, Byakugan

Explode, like Bakugo

A legend who, unfolds

On the Dead Emcee Scrolls

I′m

Unraveling time and space, travel through minds, I chase

Babylon, and, Pure Lands

Diary of

A Black Buddha writing sutras on these instrumentals

A Black Boy, found, naps in the pen and pencils

A Black Man

Crack, Tooth, Smile

Shattering the

Dichotomy, of the industry, they said that

"Lyrics are dead," while I bench press that motherfucker

Atlas Shrugged, with the multi-verse up on my shoulders

Crack boulders with the

One Inch Punch

Or, like

Ip Man

Surrounded by, ten men

I hold

The martial prowess of Demon Back, Yujiro

Iron Finger Roaring Demons Wailing in my Fist

Berserker Guts, swing, bastard sword in Eclipse

Akuma ready with that Shun

Go

Ku

Satsu

Tokido holding that E

VO

Lution focus

Im

Pact

From air, like

Initial Lotus

I

Keep, the rhyme, timeless

Stylin', like Rakim

Pumping up the volume

Transmute, break beats

To

Diasporic

Drum woven path

Clad

In dragon scale

Ash bristle crown

Praise

Sun warrior, Sun Tzu in the tactics

Wait

Nara covenant, Shikamaru the strategy

Fate

Found reason, under a moonlit kingdom to

Knight me in stardust, I manifest

Seeds that I′ve sown through Buddha text, I resurrect

Epitaph of Twilight, Midna in my subtext

Linking all my wisdom to halt, the cataclysm

Speaker for the Dead, who writes, through solar systems

Raphael Saadiq, my Neo-Soul in Blues

Raphael the hues, the mic, handled like Sais

Maharaja Maurice, penetrating the streets

Pouring 40s on boulevard, an ancient ritual

I mobilize my Gundam to bloom

I'm Domon Kasshu shocking heaven under the moon

My burning finger reaching past the sky line

Outlaw, to the Leyline

Unboxed thought

Untethered from the earth

Weightless with the verse

Tao

Pai Pai

Mercenary

Wise from the Monastery

Heavy tongue unravel the

Context before hopping into combat

My content, indents a, cerebral cortex

I vortex twin text, give'em, rigo mortis

More complex than, I don′t know, Rick & Morty

I′m more complex than the eye, of Agamotto

A Master of Mystic Arts, the mystics of my heart

Is Alchemy in the spark, of a dying stars, I halt comets

Tectonic shifting Toph

Vibrating on a higher

Plane of existence, my thoughts lift

Juggernaut

Through ceilings and quench flames of Phoenix

Foot dive to victory

Rage quit when I enter, like

Ta - Ma - Negi

Sensei

Successor to the Iron Fist here

So make - way

Flight through Snake Way

Gate

Less

Door

Ways

For

Space

For my mind to take root, so

What's knowledge in an open cipher?

Patient penning stories of a lone Ronin

Love melancholy, write past tense

In my last, life time

I probably played the keys, or was a

Child soldier with a Cheshire smile

Reminiscing of, the day, that war became peace

Found my inner peace, with robes, a canvas of orange

Aura pouring teachings from the Pure Lands

Soaring

To abodes of celestial modes

Soundtracked, by Modal Souls

In light, I behold

The shadow of self doubt

Castaway the fear, to view the truth, clear

Recalling memories, of my Avatar Cycle

Black genetics got me speaking with my ancestors

Revolution got me fighting for Utopia

Black skin is not, synonymous with sin

But

Nigga′s dying for less

I mean, my Negus is blessed

Baoding balls for stress

Documenting the era as best as we can

Last thirty-eight, reflecting on an Obelisk

A humble Arhat dwelling in, wellsprings

Etheric body calling me, from an astral dream

Sancta Sanctorum scribing sacred folds, in the space

Iconography depicting dragons in my hiero

Glyphs

I

Glimpse

Through

Arrays of

Flowers on

Silk Road

Transmission, on a mission for the wheel of Dharma

Cosmic order balance karma in, each step

Kama sutra align

Virtuous and grace

Curtain calls, for all clowns

Keep my record spinning when my

Soul's in passing

No Dragon Balls are needed for the refrain

Maintain my ideals, despite all the pain

So what′s a coffin with a scratched ceiling?

Bloodied knuckles crack

Glass

Tempered breathing

I'm climbing through the dirt to reach my aspirations

Affirmations counting mantras in my altitude

Preserve, interludes, studying the groove

Merchant of the Mask, display all your faces

Read Trigrams, to know, all my placements

Facets, of self love, elevating your palate

Introspective rhetoric, dive deep to open

Chakras

Break Fallacies

And your ignorance

A cold vocalist, whose, floating in the warmth of Jazz

Unraveling the sea, of my ocean′s being

Unravel clarity of Elysian

I'm Blacker than the middle of a dying star

Shine like treasures of a dynasty

Adorned in, knowledge of self

And

Wrapped in the fabric of moon beams

Don't let their actions, phase my goodness

I found righteousness, in, common sense, so

Any utterance unaimed

Will be disclaimed

That′s countless

Rappers

Slain

Any utterance unaimed

Will be disclaimed

That′s countless

Rappers

The essence of our practice can be described as transforming suffering into happiness

It's not a complicated practice, but requires us to cultivate mindfulness, concentration, and insight

It requires first of all that we come home to ourselves, that we make peace with our suffering

Treating it tenderly, and looking deeply at the roots of our pain

It requires that we let go of useless, unnecessary sufferings

Release the second arrow, and take a closer look at our idea of happiness

Finally, it requires that we nourish happiness daily, with acknowledgment

Understanding, and compassion for ourselves and for those around us

We offer these practices to ourselves, to our loved ones, and to the larger community

This is the art of suffering and the art of happiness

With each breath, we ease suffering and generate joy

With each step, the flower of insight blooms
