The Gift Lyrics

(Life is oh, so distant when we feel there's something missing)

If dreams are like a boat, in the deep end I'ma float

If I'm sleeping on my purpose, then I'm scheming when I'm woke

The secrets never told, never seen, and never shown

I free them when I rhyme and I breathe them when I flow

Frequently, I feel the need to teach them what I know

Maybe frequencies could speak soliloquies into their soul

Piece it into reason 'til it reaches where they go

Plant a seed inside their being, through the seasons it will grow (grow, grow)

Grow, but act on it

Cap on it or capitalize on it

Slack or stack, huh, fall or rise on it,

You can stay blind or you could keep your eyes on it

Dusk 'til dawn, days get long

Got to stay strong, we'll make it

Hush, stay calm, play this song

Hold you breath when the waves hit

Cause life is oh, so distant when we feel there's something missing

Come to realize it's already inside while we're waiting and wishing

Why don't we just get back to business?

Cause I don't why we're waiting until Christmas for the gift

Living in the now is key, this is all we got to be (aha)

In the present is where we are free

Living in the now is key, this is all we got to be (aha)

In the present is where we are free

Are free, yeah, are free

In the present is where we are free

Are free, are free

In the present is where we are free

Hey, time's still ticking, the clock stays tocking

Play the hand you're given, giving up is not an option

A glitch in the system picking at your conscience

I know the way we're living's getting sickening too often

So I'm space-bound on a greyhound

All the way down to the place to be

Where we hang out and just play around

It's a playground somewhere in the galaxy

We can keep it real

We can keep it real, no gimmick

No matter what the deal is we're all in it

Got to feel the love, no limit

We can keep it real

Yeah, we can keep it real, no limit

No matter what the deal is we're all in it

Got to give the love that keeps on giving

Cause life is oh, so distant when we feel there's something missing

Come to realize it's already inside while we're waiting and wishing

Why don't we just get back to business?

Cause I don't why we're waiting until Christmas for the gift

Living in the now is key, this is all we got to be (aha)

In the present is where we are free

Living in the now is key, this is all we got to be (aha)

In the present is where we are free

Are free, yeah, are free

In the present is where we are free

Are free, are free

In the present is where we are free
