Two Is One 02:30
Two is one I took the medicine Swallowed the evidence Everything was silent Time and space was irrelevant Bliss was equivalent Sorrow was absent I got into Heaven when St. Peter wasn't watchin' I was one with the ocean and a drop in it I felt infinite I left hobo signs on the stars to Nirvana Now I don't need the medicine I go when I wanna I chased a rainbow through the trees Heard a symphony in raindrop beats I met God and realized it was me My eyes grew so wide I couldn't blink Two is one If you like to dance on molly Or light candles at an altar for a ritual properly Check this philosophy I don't gotta be a dichotomy You can still transcend and make quite a cacophony Avalanche possibly Leave your body now Who you once were is buried in the white light of sound Found this written down in James Brown's notes on tantra: "The dance is the posture. The beat is the mantra." Mushroom tea I spent the night In a cave beneath the stalactites Giant scepters turned to organ pipes Angels painted on the cavern sky Two is one I drank cups of ayahuasca I breathed deeply in the lotus posture Serpent slithered up the seventh chakra No it's not a crime, it's just a mantra DMT, LSD, Marijuana MDMA, Mescaline, Iboga Fly Agaric, Psilocybin, Soma Golden chariots to Nirvikalpa Two is one

Candles flicker on your naked figure You’re always more exquisite than I can picture Disrobed like a fresco In this temple we have entered Our bed the altar and we kiss upon it I feed you fruit and read my love sonnet Last couplet: I’m in awe of your presence Your knowing eyes, your heart incandescent You lick the length of me slowly like a devotee And I feel worshipped and adored with you on your knees You kiss my jewels like you’re kissin’ on a king’s ring And suck the tip while your hands caress everything I try to outlast, you always get the best of me You smile, eyes closed, and swallow my seed I worship your lotus flower for a full hour You squeeze my head between your thighs and I can feel your power Your hips buck, our hands clutch as my tongue conducts A movement of toes curled while I lick your pearl My devotion sends ocean waves of pleasure through you You reach an altered state and speak in tongues, Haitian Voodoo When I’m inside you You’re my Goddess in our room You’re an angel in the nude Lover, let’s outlast the moon We’ll make this love a ritual Candle light prayer vigil Ecstasy the residual Heal me like a miracle I’ve got your red hand prints On both of my cheeks Mine are all over yours Your booty is a sweet treat You slipped in like a bandit With your tongue in my mouth And stole all my loving words So I’m a have to act ‘em out You wrap yourself around me Like vines on a tree As I enter your chamber Sanctuary of a queen I raise your legs to the sky And adore your feet Kiss them with gratitude ‘Cause they brought you to me And we switch roles And we let love flow We become one And let go of ego We sit up, gaze into each other’s eyes We see ourselves, the multiverse the Devine We grow our love, this ball of fire, ‘til it’s like the sun Then we transcend, ecstasy when we’re overcome When I’m inside you You’re my Goddess in our room You’re an angel in the nude Lover, let’s outlast the moon We’ll make this love a ritual Candle light prayer vigil Ecstasy the residual Heal me like a miracle Are you a man whore? Are you a slut? I love you lovers. Listen up There ain’t a woman or a man you could fuck That could ever make you less than enough So with every tongue kiss and hip thrust Exchange with the currency of love And you’ll be rich rich rich rich rich You’ll be so rich the bank will erupt Uhh! When I’m inside you You’re my Goddess in our room You’re an angel in the nude Lover, let’s outlast the moon We’ll make this love a ritual Candle light prayer vigil Ecstasy the residual Heal me like a miracle

Remove the handcuffs Let’s kick the dust up We’re gonna raise our voice ‘til the sun’s up Sons and Daughters Mothers Fathers Not gonna let one more get slaughtered Harassed or bothered Caught with too much melanin A felon again Just got out now back in the pin White is a lie Black is a lie The means of control is the plot to divide Our only solution’s to unify We’re as many as the waves in the ocean tides Water wears the rocks down ‘til its path aligns And darkness is gone when the lightning strikes History will write We were catalyzed We will find a way to harmonize We can heal the sickness in authority I believe that love’s becoming the majority Paradoxically we’re all one and unique This multiversal truth’s the realization that we seek May it permeate the Congress and the Police The mosques and the churches The farms and the streets We’ll discover this Hieronymus dystopia Is a beautiful Monet underneath History will write We were catalyzed We will find a way to harmonize

Goddess we’re so ashamed God is all that’s left of your name D-E-S-S raped and slain Misspelled you with a scarlet A Amputated, we still feel the pain Clear-cut the intuitive trees Left only logic and reason to graze Please grow back, we’ll dance for rain Please sneak in some Hopi wisdom To this patriarchal prison We’re the guilty and the victim Fasting ‘til we have the vision Initiation, better system Great transition, global mission Winter’s only for a season Next floor up, this ain’t the ceilin’ We’ve been blind to what we’ve done My love, my love, my love, my love Realign the moon and sun My love, my love, my love, my love We’ve got to reconcile Comfort the ones defiled Forgive the ones on trial Wake up the ones in denial We’ve got to forgive ourselves Each mind a prison, a living hell That’s where we were when we cast this spell Reach down deep, there’s water in the well We all drink from the eternal source Oppression, assault, self-hate is the source Course-correct this bomber plane Ground it in encrypted grain Stuck in traffic, we make two lanes Masculine, Feminine side by side Breaking down this highway divide Finding the middle between low and high We’ve been blind to what we’ve done My love, my love, my love, my love Realign the moon and sun My love, my love, my love, my love Air and water Be one together Sons and daughters Be one together Kings and martyrs Be one together Not much farther Be one together Thinking and feeling Be one together Torn and needs healing Be one together Two nostrils breathing Be one together Hemispheres reeling Be one together We’ve been blind to what we’ve done My love, my love, my love, my love Realign the moon and sun My love, my love, my love, my love

You can come out of hiding I had a vision of a new earth Clean water, clean air, clean dirt New age, new language, new birth Synchronize was the new verb Every moment was an orchestrated overture Black and white were dead words Free at last, humanity was singular The planet's children no longer teenagers Able to see the wisdom of our ancestors Technology reconciled with nature And it felt like we lifted off a curse Like the seas calmed and Atlantis emerged Believe this is our destiny it will occur This is a love song to the future You can come out of hiding All the cities ran on zero point energy Built from Tesla papers whistle blowers leaked From up above you could see that all the roofs were green The sky scrapers looked like islands of magnolia trees And we took back our Democracy Finally realized the power in our unity Redistributed the currency And it rushed down like Niagara Falls from the elite We swallowed doves of peace so that we could emit the light We signed the treaty and the drones just left the sky Fundamentalists evolved into mystical And we celebrated love as the greatest miracle It's like a masterpiece was in front of me Paint still wet with fusion and epiphany To all the souls above waiting to be born free Mother Earth is pregnant. Come out of hiding You can come out of hiding It started raining hard and the sun was out The Wind said, "Smile. Your fate is bound." You can move a heavy stone using only sound You've always had the note. Now let it out your mouth You can come out of hiding

Crop circle meditation Vibrate with the resonation ETs wrote graffiti in a cornfield Solar system salutations Corroborate the correlation Decipher the true translation Transition in elevation Reactivate innate sensations To wake us up from our dream So we can enter another dream Starship-spangled banter Mystery the great enchanter Geometric semblances Finishing Euclid’s sentences Parallelogram telegrams Giving homilies to hominids If I was an ET would you still love me? Big beautiful eyes, skin vibrant green Could you see me through my alien genes That I’m still in love with the way you speak? Would you come with me to my galaxy In the diamond rain where it’s always spring? If I was an ET would you still love me? Close encounters of the fifth kind Maybe they’re just waitin’ for a piece sign Given that both love and fear are blind Blow a kiss to the galaxy with closed eyes May it land upon the glass of a spaceship And they can use their instruments to trace it Past Aurora Borealis and the eclipse To this beach with you and I And we’ll communicate telepathically About how far they’ve traveled just to see That the differences in our biology Are beautiful&don’t detract from the prophesy That someday after mastering gravity We will harness divine love energy And for the second time discover fire The Multiverse in unity If I was an ET would you still love me? Big beautiful eyes, skin vibrant green Could you see me through my alien genes That I’m still in love with the way you speak? Would you come with me to my galaxy In the diamond rain where it’s always spring? If I was an ET would you still love me? Oh darlin’ I can see that your skin is aglow Shining blue like the moon I want everyone to know That you’re the one for me I’ve searched the galaxy If I was an ET would you still love me? Big beautiful eyes, skin vibrant green Could you see me through my alien genes That I’m still in love with the way you speak? Would you come with me to my galaxy In the diamond rain where it’s always spring? If I was an ET would you still love me?

Anima/Animus 03:19
I'm learning how to yin and how to yang How to watch for the symbols how to make 'em clang How to be a river and an earthquake My instrument is paradox Watch no hands on the tick tock The wise look insane Sensitive to the slave chains Categories and fake names Gay, Straight, Bi-Sexual Animal, Mineral, Vegetable A tomato is a fruit Don't you know everything's contextual You do you better than anyone can do Cinderella sweetie nobody can fit your shoe You're here to dance to your own tune Shake it like a trapped rat unglued I orientate to myself Unique just like everyone else There's a woman inside me This man outside's gonna find she I orientate to myself Unique just like everyone else There's a man inside me This man outside's gonna find he I am Hermaphroditus I'm the prophet Tiresias Blind yes my third eye is enough Ever-present though you never invited us We're the sensitive males We're the powerful females We're the truth and the dare You're too careful to care Question all of it, remove the masks Faced with the faceless who is left to ask? You're the first, you're the last, you're the infinite Blacked out, reborn as an infant Sorry for the confusion Let me heal your contusion Everyone's in costume It's a playful illusion I orientate to myself Unique just like everyone else There's a man inside me This woman outside's gonna find he I orientate to myself Unique just like everyone else There's a woman inside me This woman outside's gonna find she Anima Animus Both are us Know and trust I orientate to myself Unique just like everyone else Anima inside me This man outside's gonna find she I orientate to myself Unique just like everyone else Animus inside me This man outside's gonna find he

Let's make up secret names Each life we play this game We get reborn in different bodies Meet again through fate Like two magicians With intuition We find each other through the crowds Though I don't know your face You might live in Japan Or I might be the postman And every time I bring your letter You wanna invite me in Such a familiar vibe Tears we forgot we cried We never die We just start over different lives I've been mountains and rain A species unnamed A tribesman in Ghana A veteran maimed A mother, a daughter A cow at the slaughter A tropical bird And a fountain of water We'll always We'll always We'll always be alive As I count down from 10 Inhale the oxygen You're going deep within Meet people that you've been A gentle escalator guides you down to deeper layers When I clap my hands you'll be where your soul began Who do you see? What was it that they seeked? Did they let any thought or thing impede their destiny? Did they die with regret? Did they restack the deck? Did they let any motherfuckers ever hold them back? Do what you came here for Take love, give even more Dead flowers can't grow on a stage Wait for no encore I've been extraterrestrial Among the celestial A flower in bloom And a bee on the petal Spent life in prison Lived and died in an instant Been a witty haiku And a run-on sentence We'll always We'll always We'll always be alive Someday every king puts down his crown Becomes the kingdom he found Someday every queen puts down her crown Becomes the queendom she found We'll finally escape this ego parade Let go of ourselves and our God-given names Each color will bend through the prism again Cross through the other side and join the great white light But we'll always We'll always Like a sound in space Like the memory of a day We'll always be alive

about

Written between 2006 and 2018, Now Age Emcee's debut album, Transition Vision, is about the individual and the whole of us in the midst of an evolution. When a society breaks down, the best ideas left are used to rebuild it. The lyrical themes of this album are about some of those ideas. A few have begun to be assimilated into our culture. Others still remain on the fringes. Recorded, mixed and mastered to tape using real instruments, the sound of Transition Vision represents Now Age Emcee's affinity for the electric sitar guitar, Hammond organ, big drums, analog synths and melodic hooks.
