my third eye

you may get high

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got a message for all the masses<br />
my third eye<br />
wears 3-D glasses</p>
<p>you may get high<br />
but you&#8217;ll never surpass this</p>
<p>when you bring the static<br />
I got homeostasis</p>
<p>everybody&#8217;s trying to rob me of my calm<br />
it&#8217;s like playing hot potato<br />
with an activated bomb</p>
<p>but when I get the feeling that my blood is getting warm<br />
I just chill out<br />
take no pills out<br />
and I open up my palm</p>
<p>you can call me a pacifist<br />
because I write my rhymes so I don’t pass a fist</p>
<p>it&#8217;s hard to tell the difference between anger and love<br />
when you meet a pretty girl<br />
and then you strangle her with hugs</p>
<p>so I drink<br />
kava kava and not vodka</p>
<p>so I can chug a lug</p>
<p>and be a mellow fellow<br />
when I pass out on the rug</p>
<p>when it comes to fighting<br />
I just sit down and I write it<br />
I&#8217;m a big guy pound for pound<br />
so I can&#8217;t get all too excited</p>
<p>it only takes a small flame for wick to get lighted<br />
you’ll only have yourself to blame<br />
when your ignorance ignites it</p>
<p>this world’s a powder keg so if you&#8217;re carrying a load<br />
you had best express yourself<br />
or you&#8217;re gonna explode.</p>
