Time to Relax - Akala[00:00:00]
This ain't a song it's more like a note to self[00:00:10]
A reminder to me that I need balance[00:00:14]
Cause I'm always working plannin' projects and preppin'[00:00:16]
Stressin' over the state of this world and how we affect it[00:00:19]
This is part of the gift the energy that I'm blessed with[00:00:22]
But if you overuse them then you will blunt your own weapons[00:00:25]
How ever much you train muscles only grow when you rest 'em[00:00:27]
Yet I don't make enough time to stop and pause for reflection[00:00:30]
Go and check my mum talk about nothing much[00:00:33]
On a sunny day sit in the park stare at the sun[00:00:35]
Feed the ducks ride a bike shit sit in a tree[00:00:38]
Anything to escape the stress that the city will breed[00:00:41]
Lucky enough that what I love is my living[00:00:44]
I know that that's rare so chillin' just feels like sinnin'[00:00:46]
But it's not take your time you ain't gotta say sorry[00:00:49]
If you're always exhausted you can't help anybody[00:00:52]
Through all the work and the wages bills and the tax[00:00:54]
Through all the stress and the payments and the payments stress[00:00:57]
Through all the loss and the gain and the pain we attach[00:01:00]
Through all the stress and the strain that came with the facts[00:01:03]
We gotta kick back make time to relax[00:01:06]
Gotta kick back make time to relax[00:01:09]
Gotta kick back make time to relax[00:01:11]
Kick back make time to relax[00:01:14]
You're not paranoid things really are designed[00:01:17]
To offer you absolutely no peace of mind[00:01:20]
Maybe that's the price to be paid[00:01:23]
Cause we're complicit in suffering all over this world that we are living in[00:01:24]
Cars and the clothes everything we consume[00:01:28]
Still painted in the suffering of colourful hues[00:01:30]
So we're tainted by the nothingness of what we'll choose[00:01:33]
But overwhelmed by the lack of change if we refuse[00:01:36]
So we all watch the so called news[00:01:39]
And see their views of a bunch of mass murderers paraded as true[00:01:41]
Enough to turn anything in person to a lunatic[00:01:44]
Maybe that's what we already are cause we are used to it[00:01:47]
But in the midst of all this[00:01:50]
There's a bliss that you're missing[00:01:52]
Silent moments one that you love quietly kissing[00:01:53]
Staring at the stars realising that ours is just a world among billions of worlds[00:01:55]
That we'll never know[00:01:59]
Through all the work and the wages bills and the tax[00:02:01]
Through all the stress and the payments and the payments stress[00:02:03]
Through all the loss and the gain and the pain we attach[00:02:06]
Through all the stress and the strain that came with the facts[00:02:09]
We gotta kick back make time to relax[00:02:12]
Gotta kick back make time to relax[00:02:15]
Gotta kick back make time to relax[00:02:17]
Kick back make time to relax[00:02:21]
Just take a moment to breathe is what I'm sayin'[00:02:23]
Breathe deep till the air in your chest is all the way in[00:02:26]
Let it out slowly feel the tension erodin'[00:02:29]
Listen to the music before you compose it[00:02:31]
Just take a moment to breathe and take stock[00:02:34]
You ain't that important wars will not stop if you do not[00:02:36]
But health and longevity depends on balance between yin and yang[00:02:40]
And so far I just haven't[00:02:43]
Made enough time to breathe and just chill[00:02:45]
Keep still[00:02:48]
They ain't lying when they say stress kills[00:02:48]
So breathe before you punch someone in the mouth[00:02:50]
Breathe deep before you push out and tear down the house[00:02:53]
Breathe before you hurt yourself and your health[00:02:56]
Maybe cliché but it really is our true source of wealth[00:02:59]
Breathe essence of life and of the universe[00:03:02]
We've done it from birth yet we doubt that it really works[00:03:04]
Through all the work and the wages bills and the tax[00:03:07]
Through all the stress and the payments and the payments stress[00:03:10]
Through all the loss and the gain and the pain we attach[00:03:12]
Through all the stress and the strain that came with the facts[00:03:15]
We gotta kick back make time to relax[00:03:18]
Gotta kick back make time to relax[00:03:21]
Gotta kick back make time to relax[00:03:24]
Kick back make time to relax[00:03:27]
