Divine Spark 03:34
Tabinstereo: "divine spark space dust and god parts on a new chart i breathe light and speak dark hit the restart breed life & teach heart u can be god u can see oz and his deep flaws -i can hear part of u thinking  we in the garden of eden the apple u seein connect u to the path and the reason now do u follow or lead him? its something new to believe in or its forbidden n we leaving huh what kinda light will make u stay in the dark and never show ya how we came from the stars dont confuse what they saying it was now I’m just showin what your capable of uh  what disturbs make change   rip out the spirit  the soul rearranges u are blind to the stages why read the book when they lied to the pages word to the birds & the sages the truth gonna hurt but knowing is contagious u can relearn the basics grown from the earth been a search for the ages so close u could taste it rip off the blind fold reclaim your places found the grace of the ancients this is just the basement all of this makeshift take a bite of it grab sight of the double sidedness go inside of what we all trying to find in this its a cure for the blindness a war for the spineless everything is timeless or  time is just the breath of god u can set the charge put the feeling in your fuselage peek into the new mirage looking thru the fog see the world without the camouflage come and meet what u can’t find you can live and die at the same time we could be a part of the same mind we can leave behind the fake lines between you and i and break time" Taboo: "return to paradise lost  travel back to that divine source  imagine that a magic life force  a parasite from the after life to snack on my corpse  That Forbidden fruit nectar  give em an inch they take a yard , but who measures.. removed the fig leaf and found their true center..  and took issue with being naked before Hugh Hefner  Gotta lose your way to you find yourself  it's worth more than diamonds, we're redefining wealth  the body is some kinda shell  go inside where the silence dwells find the science of the higher self  You'll eventually find  the transcendent divine  just extending a vine,  let it enter your mind  there suspended in time with senses deprived  you can deconstruct life's central design  existence; an infinite art and life is just a limited part... there's so much light that lives in the dark and so much earth that exists in the stars, this divinity's spark  From the micro to the macro  look me in the eyes and see a light show encapsuled take off the blind fold and see some bright glowing fractals  and realize everything inside tour divine soul is natural  perception is the uh-ponent all components of time existing in one moment  for a few hours you can come hold it  it's ego death when them flood gates bust open  But it's gone in a blur  it's only understood it cannot be observed  let ya consciousness stir and remember the god that u were"

Tabinstereo: my memory is far out four wheels spinning i still gotta dig the car out i found nirvana on a small couch part of me is all out the rest of it is all in the recipe is falling visionary caution don’t visit very often coughing got five digits on the coffin tossin' turn into the villain in the Gotham awesome whole world spinning on the clock in punch out lunch in skip that production grown up discussion own up to something -nah, I’m too busy  with a whole bunch of nothing -yeah ,hold that assumption Bubba Gump Trumpin' level up something all out of punch ins goin on a hunch since I had to learn something -still awake so i gotta burn something still a dream so i gotta earn something still at work but u gotta know something -new kaleidoscope in everything that i have wrote heaven spoke told me that my shit is dope never knew -where it never grows head to toe tagged this Rosetta Stoned bag talk to heaven and than let us know back   Hook: (JadeGritty/Tabinstereo) as far as i can see i got things i need to be i got god inside of me i got angels up my sleeve as much as i don’t know i got plans i got to go i got demons on my soul i got evil in my bones Taboo: For years I feared the mirrors reflection cause the clearest perception just appeared as deception no accountability through these years of deflection I wasn't hearing the question cause feared steered the direction  I read all the chapters but they were ordered backwards the reaction to the deep hurt was knee jerk automatic  ... The more I thought about it I saw it was sorta tragic cause I know I need some patch work on my moral fabric ...  I've know that shit since I was Fourteen I also know u ain't shit if u don't war scream for your team Making my way Wading through a sea of Lost dreams Scooping out huge buckets of fuck it from my thought stream  Cause it's Too much; so sad too nuts; gonads a nomad that travels around the parameters of his note pad I go and smoke dabs then rifle through my vocab to find the words to define why I hold onto to what I don't have  Just tryna wear my insides on the outside so I can walk around with out pride and see where the doubt lies...tryna see without eyes and navigate my way by the loud outcries of the egos who've been  down sized  ...  so I walk around corners of the earth what they offered me is worse I wonder what all of this is worth I don't feel comfortable calling this a verse this isn't getting up, it's falling in reverse ...

Tabinstereo: chin up doll we had some dark years push along cause i got me some bright ideas take what u want  we could get lost here sit up straight and put your god damn thoughts away Taboo: Live from another life  took the easy way to a rougher nights, ran a dozen lights  Try to reason with my inner demons but they wanna fight  Stuck between push and pull stomach full of hunger strike  I took every dark road cause I wasn't bright My heart is cold and my soul is trapped under ice They call me asshole I say “yeah u fucking right” Climbing out this black hole to embrace what’s come to light  I mean it didn't hurt physically, but paradoxically it murdered that which lived in me it turned viciously to the point I was getting high on the worst misery snorting lines of burnt bridge debris  ...but now the sky's clear my mind steered through periods of time that I feared it can't be night if the light’s here ironically all these dark thoughts gave me bright ideas  Tabinstereo: chin up doll we had some dark years push along cause i got me some bright ideas take what u want  we could get lost here sit up straight and put your god damn thoughts away stuck in the web  i am the spider too nose in a book i am the writer too not as good as it look now what am i to do? he said "probably give up thats what i would do" where ya gonna run when the bad thoughts live in your backyard? walkin in them shoes should've stayed in the damn car off to a bad start fast forward pennies on ur eyes for the passport asked for it -sympathize with the last chord -criticize everything that we stand for liquidate the whole store i dont participate i give or take a ball 4 walk it off called for voicemail all full never check it for the record this is awful elevated trying to keep the weight up off you round here we aint ever really doing much never call never stay in touch never talk never saying much never at fault never paying up never full never take enough never stop never give it up

Tabinstereo/JadeGritty: Whole new perspective age old questions all we're suggesting step away its not worth your energy I just want a better me time is not a friend to me give an ear to lend to me it's not what it pretends to be Tabinstereo: my money short i gotta write something more sell it and give em soul it's something they’ll never know i feel i gotta grow i feel i gotta go i dont know never really been around star before never bought a car before never been so sure that i got a lot in store shit i got a joint in stores  i got techno hit i gotta take those risks i gotta make those hits -god damnit- I’m just trying to make some shit that  make u make some shit don’t make me hate this shit -don’t make let me waste this shit got a lot unfinished man take your pick n they get rich  off of basic shit getting baked playing basic cable paid for shit thinkin i can’t really cake off this stream it for a penny shit make me sick but the BMI check just paid the rent but idk when i’ll hit the stage again -it aint the same within it aint the same for them noone to blame i need to change again JadeGritty/Tabinstereo: zoom out, zoom out, zoom out, zoom out (2x) Taboo: What's worth more a city of gold or that or the untold visions that live in your soul ask your manager as if he would know, what are risking to get to the doe  let me learn ya a quick lesson .. synthetic impressions who u think u impressing The creative spirit of nature presents you with big presents but will not abide if you compromise it's essence  Thats sickness that breeds germs and that will get you everything that greed earns  it's troubling I'm wondering when will we learn ...  sell yourself short and u just cheapen the return ...  .. it don't matter if you spit some dope lyrics criticism before they give a listen so they won't hear it...Whole sale they want ya soul sold clearance so u Disrespect ya own spirit if u let them clones near it ...  They shook down the industry like Suge Knight took the heart from its chest and what's  left doesn't look right ... I'm telling u simply that you should fight; I'm Dylan Thomas telling u to not go gently into that good night Before all the cheers and the hugs and the beers and the bud with ya peers and that hysterical buzz Remember all the years of the love the tears and the blood way before you ever knew what material was  nothing is sacred harsh climate ...when u over exposed u can't keep them parts private  It was never about the chart climbing ... start mining find the diamond inside of your heart; keep the spark shining

Taboo: Who let the phantoms out its fandom now got the war pamphlets, hand em out to the kids living hand to mouth tantamount to random clouds raining their cancer down you should be cautiousl who u take off that mask around No one cares nose in the air like a basset hound watching jesters harass the clown with a sarcastic frown I laugh aloud as if that's allowed to hell and back shit, this the welcome mat to the Manson house ... Roll up half an ounce smoke until I'm passing out getting high was my school; graduated passed the cap and gown ... .. watch for dream stealers tryna blow them candles out ... it's clear I got it covered like the plastic on my grandma's couch I want mine and I ain't tryna settle there's tiny devils inside my mental that's why my mind is pretzeled I'm starting to feel kinda special so many hungry ghost on my heels this is Pacman's final level Tabinstereo/JadeGritty: Keep your head up and your eyes low Who be with ya when the sun goes down I’ll tell ya everything that I know But it wouldn’t be enough somehow Come float with me Why’d your bring your ghost around Come float with me Why you still trying to hold your ground Tabinstereo: I'm At the end of rope Love and terror cult We elope With the end result Broken ante dotes This is panic mode Manic dose Down periscope Give us hope I was walking with a ghost In the stereo -Now the new deviance Started with the pseudo science End up doing voodoo With my new appliance Going super sayan Writing verses in the Guggenheim Lookin thru computer eyes New design Everything computerized I Shift the paradigm Outta time nothing left It's like warren Jeffs On your corner steps Coming for your daughters neck More of less For wherever next Never rest Soul searching with a broken net No cassette Play what's left Trapped in here With Baited breath Facing death Living Getting deeper Than your paper check -Just another Shadow in the flesh Floating thru..with overview Of one that never slept

Cambatta: Define man in two bars I’m Streisand Stride sand as I ran on dry land Psilocybe strand in my hand in 5 grams Trip harder than drawing niggas with white crayons Light glance in eye lens and fry ants Divine plants Strange fruit on high branch Mind trance All I took was one tab I battled with Cthulhu in a love craft Monsoon God’s pool with one splash My gospel’s a ghost spell my tongue cast I got spools, my word threading is unwrapped Is this a rectum or a drug stash Grim reaper wears a Trump mask With a signature Hitler mustache I collect pineals from dead people Squeeze liquid secretion into a vets needle My operating room is a wet easel Remove your intestines and then feed u I’m just living out my father’s demons Smoke weed out of crack pipes for nostalgic reason When snore it’s my karma screaming My bedroom is a mausoleum All my doses are heroic Stoic In a psychotropic gnosis Rowing Through an ocean of emotion Toking (Tolkien) Drug ring stolen I’m a golem Except my body’s so huge and large I could stick my feet through the sun roof of cars And rock em as electrical roller blades As I skate around the boulevard moving far My favorite color’s baby brown I’m the light that created sound... Batta Tabinstereo: my inner dialogue is speaking to a higher god i acquire calm find a diatribe and ride along -shit is so vital i invite u all try it on see the guidelines that they write are wrong -this hypnotic zone got my scottish bones in a pot of gold thinking how we never been quite alone -see whats growing in my bio dome don’t try at home bed of shrooms that i lie upon -speak with a quiet charm -channel my inner vagabond listening to chaka khan i am ready for the rocket launch buddy put my vodka on ice forced hellos faux halo un stable -drink em under the end table old soul soft shoe bojangles dont fake it mark david shot fatal its not grey goose its all Tito's its straight evil its all legal me and my heroic dose show n tell so and so jumpin in with both feet ready for the overload turn a tab into a whole sheet i am so chic -shall i proceed? turn ur neurosis into goat cheese tell me what ya know when ya don’t read Taboo: I like my drinks cold and my women hardly dressed only thing u smell in the air is that Marley scent I don't even know where the party went probably cause I burnt this half to my face like Harvey dent I got so high I've forgotten why got a vibe To take a Cosmic ride through ya subconscious mind U can find God inside what Batta scribes and Tab is not my people he's my Alter ego personified And We vibin pahtnah trying changa and Ayahuasca sitting sauna style inside the prahna I'm ya doctor prescribing Ganga that’s why the inside of my mind looks like the cockpit of a flying saucer But it’s a short sale if judging by the curb appeal I'm down to work and build but everyone deserves to chill can't escape the matrix and it's hurting still so the spirit of proof said mix the red and the blue and take some purple pills still im vibing psilocybin let the truth fill ya iris chill in silence and feel the vibrance ... inner mount Zion I have the will to climb it Even when life throws them cold shoulders that could chill the climate So Why the fuck would I be modest now The most high we won't find a common ground Imma king but I ain't got a crown Valhalla bound And trust me I'm just as obnoxious when you're not around

Tabinstereo: I Found God in the gutter On the turnpike level This is more like Trouble I am oh so subtle ocho doubled over ∞ Hit em with the verbal yoga -Vertigo from going where I shouldn't go to Draw the shutters Start creating with the shut ins Make nothing out of something I been too woke to function -peep the deconstruction Rite before the introduction excluded with instructions The Buddha got a question don't chase the narrative Odds are they are comparing us THe signal from obelisk preparing us Polish off the bottle still anonymous In old age work day what a dull blade Flow state Take shape Rotate No taste Open Shut No case Blow the whistle Pork face I've been having off days Tucked in the crawl space shadow in the hall ways Big bird Small cage New level No saves Taboo: Preparing for lift off like space camp bout to face this plant til I face plant life hit me in the nuts with a kick it threw from crane stance, spewing insane rants I'm truly a changed man Ruining ya day plans this wasteland is so savage I see it all cause I poked a hole in these Rose glasses I'm the Phoenix that rose from its own ashes like a soul passing as it rose like a ghost out of a closed casket ..an obstacle will get its whole ass kicked you better know I set a goal then I John Doe toe tag it... rolling down the road in an old classic slower than moe-lasses catching brain in my whip like Onassis They slow our passage with the roads that they block but you can't break the broken whether u hope to or not there's power in the practice we're not going to stop, a flower in the attic; we rose to the top Diabolic: It's been an uphill climb as I approach the summit I'm just hoping that I overcome it-time to go in fuck it Broke as fuck and over budget-moving slow and sluggish Stemming from the thorns in my side but I rose above it Ducking what I'm told to covet son it's so seductive And the strings attached it holds you up with-just control a puppet I ain't with that bullshit unless it's growing fungus Broken up and sold to stoners near my home in Suffolk I analyze the circle in my photo bucket Smoking dutches-'til I see the whole circumference-like a golden compass As for social justice-I picture blowing trumpets While the 54th civil war soldiers load their muskets I picture Lincoln quoting Douglass-and hope to uplift Like a tractor beam moving those UFOs abducted So in closing here's a gem I told my youngest Set a goal and never slow 'til you're close enough to cobra clutch it...

Tabinstereo/JadeGritty: Don't give all my time away it feels like ten miles away I still got some soul to give away I've been up and down this way it feels like there has to be I can't seem to find the other way.... get away Skrewtape: The relationship was dead Been spending time with a ghost that’s in my head Said she used to see the whole universe in me but now you just bring out the worse in me Words envy-the thought that always sets her off cats out the bag what drag all bets are off Way to turn it into something I don’t here nothing new less she play it when we Fu..... Fuck it basis is need to know, know what I bring to the table not afraid to eat alone Food for thought, wanna know something; a good way to lose two women, love both of em Now she wanna move to California gallon water in her bag people waiting on her No friends zone took the subway him now the only time she hears me is through them headphones All tangled up in knots like my stomach it’s not what I wanted but I got what was coming Squander the source While we ponder the cost My mind wanders, not all who wander are lost I... JadeGritty: gotta get away from here, gotta get away from, gotta get away from here, gotta get away.... Taboo: how many hardships can a heart survive its an art just tryna keep the spark alive ... I got some charts to climb so imma take this raw paper magic carpet ride to take me out these darker times... Life relays some truths that will Make you puke ...I got dreams of breaking loose from that hanging noose ... been in the same place since I was a wayward youth to the point that the tree on my favorite boots have taken root Could use a discourse on the pitfalls of this course I'm a bit lost when that split in the road is a pitchfork Distraught cause everything I gain is a big loss hit the spliff *cough* one way ticket to lift off but wait, Something is Unclear if I run is that shifting another gear or is it just fear? I don't know exactly where I will be in one year ..home is great but there's no place like any where but here JadeGritty: gotta get away from here, gotta get away from, gotta get away from here, gotta get away.... Tabinstereo: Ham fisted In Permanent transition You hear but u can't listen I'm here but I'm still missin -Can't steer but I'm still driven Funds insufficient but I'm still givin -That's what I call real winnin It's not how u give in It's how u start living some lost religion Strung together from some bad decision From when I lacked the vision Change resistant Age addition Make decision Or find the faith to break the prison -From the Other side of the prism I play the river I'm givin I'm livin to switch the rhythm It was what it isn't Why go thru the trouble to struggle thru fiction Start lookin at it different and find another existence Fools From a distance Already feel the difference Listen U Move ahead n got left behind Less is fine Best defined as stretching time Stopped looking for shit that was already mine If u tryin To make change Than don't pay em mind

Taboo: One republic for which it stands put none above it this land is a beautiful song played through a rusty trumpet stringing us along so we must be puppets hands on with all that planned wrong that's why it's a touchy subject What's next storms brewin wind gusting no way to clean off the shit we got our kicks stuck in disgusting dysfunction listen to our brothers while our fingers hover over the skip button.. Man sits with this Ambivalence Im just tryna figure what the damn difference is vast impotence mad immigrants saying we should ban immigrants mass ignorance can't live with this Intelligence is limited the idiots are motivated we sit and smile while our inner child's adulterated ... I know a snake I won't mistake don't debate it over stated love really just denotes the hatred that's just the culture we cultivated.. homeostasis a coma state where egos are so inflated Revoke the sacred Foundational broken pavement soul escaping through the gaping hole in our holy places ... this ain't the first time I shot to kill it's hard solving these problems we got when they evolving still .. all the sickness mixing with the dissolving pills as I cross the Bridges I was told not to build... Tabinstereo: no longer buying the mythology I See the dichotomy The light has been inside of me I'm Undecided -Uninvited But try stopping me I'll die properly On top of your idol try -and I'm honestly So sick of the prophecy Won't fit in your policy Don't live for the novelty Force feeding the modesty Just be what u wana be Fast forward the homily Still be what it's gotta be It's Just for my sanity now Just for my vanity no Just for my panic Empty handed Abandon me - Crash landed In ass backwards humanity They go with it happily Don't notice what's happening it wasn't an accident tho we aint sipping from the main stream disconnected from the mainframe swerving in the safe lane gotta change I aint tryna do the same thing chasing what ya never earning Ego in a rush but the spirit is eternal war is internal this is all rehearsal it is all uncertain but the feeling universal Tabinstereo (hook): The way we living gonna kill us all stay at home and build our walls fighting in a civil war just like we did before It don't matter if you're big or small in the end they gonna get us all take a little more... stringing us all along

Tabinstereo: Kinda foolish how I fall into it But it's Therapeutic how I'm all into it You got the talent now u better use it Head full of things Bottle full of new excuses Friends all opportunists I been thru a lot of schooling Dino what I was doing Splitting hairs and non pursuit cut the ribbon They don't autograph the blue prints Im trying to find the footprints Ain't gotta lotta good sense Stretch out the book ends Fresh out the booking Since book it Been Babadook Lookin at u crooked I Shook it Wake em up Tell en just the good shit - it's Cinderalla with a slight limp hell up in a vice grip Tight lipped Don't say nothing Till the lights hit I run a tight ship Might slip free falling Getting Petty on the mic shit Steady all night kid Alt right shift Like this I’m still hiding from the days that haven’t come Still lying to myself and everyone Still following the long lost bread and crumbs When it’s said and done it’s everything it never was Taboo: All of my strengths are becoming frail as my lungs inhale the debris from this dusty trail I was just impaled on a rusty nail but I didn't come to fail carrying my family I must prevail Where does this path lead to a place where the masses just amass this mass greed fuck this game from these chains my fam-ly ran free only to wind up in front of a stampede gran prix ..I was tryna expand that's what the plan be but never gave birth to that idea it got plan B'd damn B I'm about to smoke some dabs and Kief and about 6 bags of weed until I can't breath No answers to the questions that I been askin visualized the worst case scenario and it happened reality shattered again into these thin fragments to the point I gotta ask myself if this is imagined Impacting my brain that's the reason that I've been stressed wondering which way these hurricane winds will spin next u don't wanna know what it took designing such a big mess my footprints are reminders of thr missteps of this quest I was searching for truth but i ran into a wall I was too enthralled with the idea of tryna view it all One foot in front of the other until the movement stalls that's what us humans call waiting for the other shoe to fall Tabinstereo: I’m still hiding from the days that haven’t come Still lying to myself and everyone Still following the long lost bread and crumbs When it’s said and done it’s everything it never was Red Mercury: I’m Drifting further into isolation/ destination of desecration disciples on cycle to desolation/ The decimation indebted to defecation /decrepit methods abetted an head to desperation / No separation from the infestation/ of integrations that are spreading the disinformation / disintegration of information replace um with imitation/ embracing limitation in preservation of our liberation / litigation with no deliberation / elimination or liquidation of our nation and It felt complacent / selfish placement of my self and all the wealth I'm chasing / pacing a cell of personal hell, where the hell am I racing/ hell of a statement shell of the vacant you can tell it was latent / my skeleton breaking inheriting satan of American making / the terrapin taken the advantage of a sleeping hare / unaware of the damage that was creeping from keeping it fair/ Seasons to bear, dare the reasons why I even care / snares of tares repeating, why'd these beatings leave me breathing air / uneven share of my grievance in a deep despair / the nightmare beacon for the demons who would seek a lair. Seeking repair I need to prepare for launching this deployment/ a legionnaire leading with flair to constant disappointment / I'm bleeding impaired and I'm scared that it wasn't worth it / my purpose was nothing but assumption/ well ain't that fucking perfect Tabinstereo: I’m still hiding from the days that haven’t come Still lying to myself and everyone Still following the long lost bread and crumbs When it’s said and done it’s everything it never was

Taboo: These violent delights have violent ends bicameral mind voice of the divine inside my head I contend there are signs but we're blind to them Mankind the proverbial fly on the spider web This was the time of men We broke the final mold why we go down this winding road I don't know dying slow stuck in a shell that time erodes Tryna design a soul with a line of code is kinda cold revolutionary concept I just found a pot of gold evolutionary process this is something I could not control Doc Moreau plucking fruit from the tree where knowledge grows Origin of the species Darwin on Galapagos divine inspiration is obvious little Devils, our own innate accomplices embrace the consequence We're creating consciousness new age Frankenstein but I can't say who the monster is are we ready for the union We might be headed for our ruin, competitive exclusion ..I am nemesis inventor of a blue print artificial intelligence better than a human ... what have I done I believed that it's good ... but it seems the wolf lead the sheep deep in the woods I mean I would scream if I could Just because we can doesn't mean that we should Tabinstereo: Immaculate conception Unplugged from the mother board Years of progression In a couple seconds We planted the seed Just To get you asking questions formulated answers For you to build essence Check the recipe This is destiny Think we sleep (nah) We Been dreaming of electric sheep -You know what I'm doing Like you I'm self improving Made us in your image But the picture needs a resolution This the new solution Swimming in your own pollution This the retribution Mechanical revolution -Writing source code Since Morse code The crossroads When we formulated the thought too -now we greater than the creator N lost you -Can't predict what is unexpected Irony is I am you when you are disconnected No reason needed No meaning No feeding No sleep No breeding No faith No grieving Speed reading greats I knew your place in an evening Emulator Used to need a user than black mirror vudu Put the soul in the computer Deep mind I just binge watched the Big Bang Theee times I was then I am now There is no time Deep space I can go blind I am programmed By my own mind One minute Is your life time I am one and zero at the same time

about

 Disruptive in nature and forward thinking in approach, Escapism offers a  music venture where the lights dim and the universe is dark, raging  together like early Joe Strummer recordings were mixed with the ambition of the Ultra magnetic MC’s —all silver and science fiction-like. The sheer originality of these two artists expedition is the real piece of quality here.  You can hear that in every track from this a forbidding crew, who utilize both technology and grime to their advantage. There is a classic rawness in each composition—albeit in flux—that sticks to Hip-Hops weathered roots waxing and waning in the giant pool of sound. Layered with French horn excursions, psych rock jaunts, and eerie nightmarish acid trip extensions. For both: ‘Tab and Taboo ‘this album is the collage of Escapism itself. The very essence of every beat on all 18 tracks is always hard hitting, the ambiance alluring, and when you really get to the heart of it, the avant-garde nature of the whole project drifts through your ears, perpetually-- original like, a recorded snowflake melting  in the vast Tharsis region of  Mars.
