The Craft Lyrics

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
This style, they say music gives new life
From a source inside that is forever flowin'This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
This life, I've been given a gift tonight
And for that, I vow to be a vesselI didn't have to be given the gift to rip
I'll never master me, I know that it's from him
Or her or it, dimensions that sit, waitin' to sift through me
I fall short, still it hits me swiftI didn't have to see, I coulda hit the lick
I coulda drifted it quick, I coulda quit so quick
It's really a trip, I guess I was picked

I don't know what I did to deserve a ride like this, damn!I didn't have to eat, I coulda been so thin
I didn't have to be, quoting these sentences
I didn't have to reap, the work put in but then
Even the work in itself was such a blessin'I didn't have to see, the planet tip to tip
I didn't have to make, a livin' writ to writ
I didn't have to dream and then begin to live it
And for that, I vow to be a vesselThis Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
This style, they say music gives new life
From a source inside that is forever flowin'This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
This life, I've been given a gift tonight
And for that, I vow to be a vesselI give thanks for my rhymin' ability
I don't front like it's not a responsibility
I can open a mind, if the youth will listen to me
I'm not goin' to front like I'm on some killin' spreeAnd as hard as the times are, God is livin' through beats
That come not from minds but that travel through spiritual reasons
Some of the time, I feel like it's not even me
No money can buy gateways to infinityStill I'm hungry to shine when I know I should let it be
And I want but I have every single thing that I need
So help me align self with soul and then I'll be free
To sculpt and design verbal styles and experience freedomThis Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
This style, they say music gives new life
From a source inside that is forever flowin'This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
This life, I've been given a gift tonight
And for that, I vow to be a vesselLet go, do what's in front of you
Then, let go, then do what's in front of youThis ain't leisure, although it feels
It is a duty, a way to live, another way to give
Another way to just, have communion with the source
Of the sun and moon and a way to pay the billsDisplayin' skills, I take it real serious
The vibe's so mysterious, not just one more day to kill
And I could lose my connection
If I do not respect it enough, fade away it willDay to day it gives energies
That replenish me, if I believe and I say it will
And act on it, 'cause action is the key to freedom
Only way to be a leader, lead by the way you liveThis Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
This style, they say music gives new life
From a source inside that is forever flowin'This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
This life, I've been given a gift tonight
And for that, I vow to be a vesselThis Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
This style, they say music gives new life
From a source inside that is forever flowin'This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
This life, I've been given a gift tonight
And for that, I vow to be a vesselThis Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
This style, they say music gives new life
From a source inside that is forever flowin'This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
This life, I've been given a gift tonight
And for that, I vow to be a vessel
