There is a way out of this mess and shit You just can’t think your way out of it Thought is your enemy I know I know, I got to think less. I had that thought actually You have to let go. Let go Let go of what? Let go of you I mean, think about it, what have you done for you lately? I’m having trouble following your philosophy You have to jump in. Jump in by those scopes? No, in the water. In the River? Yes, Jump in the River, Jump in the River… We're all born into this river without knowing how to swim And eventually we learn how to keep the water under our chins Some times this river is so cold to be in Freezing my soul, solidifying my skin Regardless of how far I see, I never see my travels end We're carried by the current, being driven by the wind The scenery we pass, we'll never see again So we store it up as memories and don't let go of them Were under a spell thinking the river should go straight We set goals and desires to control our own fate But all the pain we experience is a result of our expectations Because it's the rivers nature to twist and turn The shit can burn And I know it I have the same conflict But I try to sit and flow with this rivers natural process And sometimes when I watch myself float downstream I see the beauty of it all, and it feels like a dream And at that time I appreciate the rivers course Some call it God, reality, momentum, force I stare up at the naked moon, and she stares down at me Outside false boundaries I’m all I look outward to see The universe is not something separate from yourself I know you feel alone, but that's why I'm here to help I know you feel alone, but just look up at the stars And everything that is out there is what you really are We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life Everyone has different pasts and we're seeking the light The world is divided between peasants and kings But the truth is everyone is looking for the same thing Now I want you to know The role you play is part of the whole Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion So if you need anything, I mean anything at all I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man I'm here for you, in the same way that you're here for me Each person in an intricate piece of infinity I feel that if you could see what I see Then we as humanity could be free I'm here for you, not for any self centered reasons Because existence is interdependent and all's related Connected in its different manifestations of one single mind You ain't isolated from the world even though it feels like that sometimes I see the hurt when I look into your eyes How you struggle to hold it and keep in bundled inside It drives a dull blade deep in my heart; it makes me want to cry So I offer you a hand to help wash away the rainy skies I'm running out of words, but I haven't yet made my message clear So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know I'm here As a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student To grow and realize that everything's in constant movement Each problem that we face is just a part of this movement It seems helpless, but if we stick together we'll get through it And return to the essence from which we've been uprooted And wake humanity from these illusions The second you can look into the sky and see your own reflection You know your head is in the right direction The river riding always moves, but with it I live And everything is perfect, just the way it is We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life Everyone has different pasts and we're seeking the light The world is divided between peasants and kings But the truth is everyone is looking for the same thing Now I want you to know The role you play is part of the whole Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion So if you need anything, I mean anything at all I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream Everything's cool as I float downstream
Eyedea was the best rapper that ever lived. Eyedea I write stuff occasionally I wouldn't call myself a rapper. But here's a little something I wrote to this. It really sucks that you gave up man..but I understand life is hard..very hard. I just feel like now your music would have exploded. In 2009 I spent three months of hell in the hospital and swine flu almost killed me. My life has been up and down ever since. Chronic pain, anxiety, ptsd, and this has brought me to fighting off my anxiety with writing. I love your music..you've inspired me to really just be who you are..here's what I wrote. I used to have the most depressed mind, I used to sit and count my pennies thinking I'll never amount to any thing. Say to myself, is this gods design? I used to look up at the stars and wonder is that who we really are? Am I just another being trying to figure out where we started and where it all began? I always wanted to make a difference, surely I always been different. Had a hope that I would finally find individuality as these mind altering substance attempt to adjust my reality. Not even scooby doos crew could pull these ghosts out of me. Friends used to count on me, then I lost my economy. I guess I became low in demand, became depressed quit sending texts to my friends. Started over a whole different man just sifting through the sand trying to find the real me. In this process I rinsed and repeated, thought about taking a hand full of pills but screamed at the top of my lungs fuck it I can't be defeated. I trekked way to far to give up now, people don't see your anguish on the inside when there's so many days you feel like giving up and living up to the expectation that you will finally derail and fail all your hopes and dreams. A pre-warning when it feels like you finally made it, everyone else will hate it, because selfishness is prominent just look up ad hominem. Some days my side feels like someone took a bat to a bee hive, but every day I wake up I'm so thankful I'm alive. I guess I just owe one big thanks to the people that support each other and never stop giving...
Thank you! I don't really do this kind of stuff anymore, the instrumental stuff was done when I was in middle school and high school, I mostly just produce music as a hobby these days. Let me see though, I've got it, can sort of barely hear hints of some vocals in there, but sounds pretty good otherwise, I could upload that.
Dafuq? "Why would you make an instrumental without vocals?!" Because that's not an instrumental... This comment was posted 5 years ago, maybe you actually use your head now. :P :P
The riff isnt there and others like you said in your description but yeah still good. Try How Eye One the write too think or spin cycle or hay fever, dope remakes keep it up
There is a way out of this mess and shit
You just can’t think your way out of it
Thought is your enemy
I know I know, I got to think less. I had that thought actually
You have to let go. Let go
Let go of what? Let go of you
I mean, think about it, what have you done for you lately?
I’m having trouble following your philosophy
You have to jump in. Jump in by those scopes?
No, in the water. In the River?
Yes, Jump in the River, Jump in the River…
We're all born into this river without knowing how to swim
And eventually we learn how to keep the water under our chins
Some times this river is so cold to be in
Freezing my soul, solidifying my skin
Regardless of how far I see, I never see my travels end
We're carried by the current, being driven by the wind
The scenery we pass, we'll never see again
So we store it up as memories and don't let go of them
Were under a spell thinking the river should go straight
We set goals and desires to control our own fate
But all the pain we experience is a result of our expectations
Because it's the rivers nature to twist and turn
The shit can burn
And I know it
I have the same conflict
But I try to sit and flow with this rivers natural process
And sometimes when I watch myself float downstream
I see the beauty of it all, and it feels like a dream
And at that time I appreciate the rivers course
Some call it God, reality, momentum, force
I stare up at the naked moon, and she stares down at me
Outside false boundaries I’m all I look outward to see
The universe is not something separate from yourself
I know you feel alone, but that's why I'm here to help
I know you feel alone, but just look up at the stars
And everything that is out there is what you really are
We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life
Everyone has different pasts and we're seeking the light
The world is divided between peasants and kings
But the truth is everyone is looking for the same thing
Now I want you to know
The role you play is part of the whole
Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion
So if you need anything, I mean anything at all
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
I'm here for you, in the same way that you're here for me
Each person in an intricate piece of infinity
I feel that if you could see what I see
Then we as humanity could be free
I'm here for you, not for any self centered reasons
Because existence is interdependent and all's related
Connected in its different manifestations of one single mind
You ain't isolated from the world even though it feels like that sometimes
I see the hurt when I look into your eyes
How you struggle to hold it and keep in bundled inside
It drives a dull blade deep in my heart; it makes me want to cry
So I offer you a hand to help wash away the rainy skies
I'm running out of words, but I haven't yet made my message clear
So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know I'm here
As a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student
To grow and realize that everything's in constant movement
Each problem that we face is just a part of this movement
It seems helpless, but if we stick together we'll get through it
And return to the essence from which we've been uprooted
And wake humanity from these illusions
The second you can look into the sky and see your own reflection
You know your head is in the right direction
The river riding always moves, but with it I live
And everything is perfect, just the way it is
We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life
Everyone has different pasts and we're seeking the light
The world is divided between peasants and kings
But the truth is everyone is looking for the same thing
Now I want you to know
The role you play is part of the whole
Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion
So if you need anything, I mean anything at all
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man

Well written 💯
Excellent.
Hey bro, amazing work. could you make an instrumental of Step by step? I feel like that would be just as beautiful
Thank you! I don't really do this kind of stuff anymore, the instrumental stuff was done when I was in middle school and high school, I mostly just produce music as a hobby these days. Let me see though, I've got it, can sort of barely hear hints of some vocals in there, but sounds pretty good otherwise, I could upload that.
Just uploaded it
Thanks for making this. I’m going to use this to cover the song.
I'm glad the riff in the chorus isn't there, it always stops my concentration.
DOPE
I'd consider him to be an m.c. he teaches us so much more than just a rapper would.
This instrumental is missing the two chords that get played after the first two chords get repeated 3 times in a row :/
Great job man, you should do Forget Me.
Y would you make an instrumental with anything less than the lyrics/vocals ur killin me mane
Dafuq? "Why would you make an instrumental without vocals?!" Because that's not an instrumental... This comment was posted 5 years ago, maybe you actually use your head now. :P :P

The riff isnt there and others like you said in your description but yeah still good. Try How Eye One the write too think or spin cycle or hay fever, dope remakes keep it up
