People thrashing teeth gnashing minds absent till they can't see the patterns that be keeping them captive i see eyes of sadness and attachment to vices a desire for passive in unrequited devices My heart breaks as my energies fade Do I have what it takes to move the opposite way cause some days I wind up feeling displaced and find myself playing games tryna hide in what's safe sometimes I need to escape but I'm afraid to pump the brakes The inertia of mind states deeply ingrained and I see it in my people that are tryna make change we're getting tired and keep tryna find a new way In this land of the blind this man with an eye can think that he's wise with limited sight and vigilant like thinks him yes am I as he tries to guide with an ignorant mind and what do we find we just be toeing the line a bias filled with righteousness and fighting with a mind that divides See I do this for my peeps that be bodhi seeds growing to be refuge trees to help us meet the demons of society you are my tribe but the plight it is unending it's rendered in a depth that I can't reach with sentences I see no enemies, I see the first noble truth in all its excellence and deft in its complexities my greatest lessons were met in introspection bereft of adversaries to saddle my apprehensions it's my greed and my needs and my freedom that I seek it's my sadness my anger my patterns of miasma It's your greed and your needs and your freedom that you seek it's your sadness your anger your patterns of miasma it all matters it's all happening, we're all part of the same planet All made of the same fabric, nothing to change but our own actions so I start with my battles the expansion I spark from my heart with regards I impart my doha Just a drop of H2O trying to find its way home to the ocean and I know I got a long way to go And I hope to leave these words as atonement It's my Doha Just a drop of H2O trying to find its way home to the ocean and I know I got a long way to go And I hope to leave these words as atonement

Now I’m signed What do I do with these lyrics that be spinning in my mind Can I go deeper and just leave it all behind Or is the equal sign telling me to step into the limelight? I got the rhymes right I got the vibe and the feeling that the time’s right Should I catalyse And let the light inside the deepest recesses of my mind Shift some paradigms and pimp the butterfly See I was dabbling But now I’ve actually got an opportunity to make it happen with this rapping I’ve been deep inside the rabbit hole Of contemplating what could be the offering from rocking on it If I do this deepen in the music Can I stay tuned into the Mahamudra Is my subtlety adjusted when I hit the ground running Can I still see the truth in the movement? But I.. Look around, I see what’s needed on the ground A dude that’s truly grounded without stepping out of his surroundings I spent my time up in the mountains finding balance But if I can’t integrate it well then what’s the value? No more debating man I’m staying in the city scape And riding on the waves of these beats to find attainment Igniting insight inside the high rises Cause enlightenment ain’t shit if my people dying So Dharma Dan I’m coming back Here I am, here I am, here I am But I lose it I'm only human Tryna find the screws that get loose in to-do lists losing to computers gotta find a way to break binary movement keep the refuge strong and just stay on the straight with the brakes off constant responding to problems siblings getting lost sunny needs a WOF need money in the wallet something needs to stop Til I find my way back to the meditation Then everything's amazing and everything's a contemplation the mind is just engaged and I'm riding on the waves again I will write my integration and find it in these pages til it's simultaneous and I don't feel no separation Then I'll try to help us change Cause we only got decade til we break so let's do what it takes

So where do I start 
This song is about this man named Tarchin 
Mastered the art of imparting the Dharma 
Bodhisattva
 Sparking the hearts of the Kiwi Sangha to see our Iwi's larger
 See we breathe with the trees
 all we need is to see and release these graspings That's the art of the Lama
 this catharsis started in this young buck
 cause you tasked me to ask these questions
 burning deep in my chest
 and I'm blessed to have met with your presence 
every single second lessons incandescent
 stretch from your steps and enmesh every sentence and you never charge 
you just ask for Dana
 The greatest example of love that I've ever found Spend time with me inspire me
 so I can be all i could be
 and I believe that I can be
 free
 Tarchin
 Bodhisattva
 Samantabhadra One bright spark can light the dark
 and ignite the dharma deep inside the 
minds that arise inside of the land of the long white cloud
 and we be straight riding waves of karma radiating 
straight from the grace in the state you reside in
 finding ways to arrive at change
 in the way we arrange our lives and titles and I see these people shining
 and I see the love for life
 alive in this perfect time
 when the vibe is right for this deep inquiry I see for your legacy you don't really need to see no effigy 
just peeps on the path in community 
you're moved by the tune of some deeper seeds
 no pleasure or pain
 or fame or shame
 or praise or blame
 or loss or gain
 just straight liberation
worth singing praises
 you're my mate and you're damn amazing Spend time with me inspire me
 so I can be all i could be
 and I believe that I can be
 free
 Tarchin
 Bodhisattva
 Samantabhadra With your stroke of cancer
 no hope abandoned 
I just...
I see you standing there with that sweet compassion
 as you meet the battles with the deepest rapture 
and fascination
 no debating just embracing change
 and straight ride the wave till it finally breaks 
whatever time it takes you're in the diamond state man you never get accosted, lost in the nonsense
 even when your prostrates gone and your options
 are looking thin on the ground
 you're still feeling the ground
 and still feeling profound
 you need a medal around your neck
 settling down the mess
for yourself and the people around
 the best leader
 just breathe examples
 never ask for crowns
 just keeping it down
 for the Dharma

And I've been off in the hills Come back and they poppin' the pills Lost the plot so I got something to offer rocking these skills you're often chasing the bills you're often chasing the thrills and adjacent to that what you really lack is a mind that could find that it's still Now we're lost and we're dying infighting, sea levels rising the climate is changing and the suicide rates they are damn insane and we gotta pump the brakes and we need some contemplation we gotta stop the crazy think what you're saying I be taking my time spitting these lines doing a bit at a time I never be stopping to write I might intertwine my mind with shit that's flipping divine then I just freestyle this shit when I'm ignited full of the finest mind-states you try to keep pace but you're lost in a high state spitting war cries with a 45 but your vibe ain't aligned straight unrefined cause your lines are fake playing games like you came from the states on a playdate with your mates so get out the way get out the way get out the way you're wasting your time you're taking up space in the game you're acting so fucking insane you forgot that the hottest script is this kiwi accent so when you drop that track man drop the act and stand on your own two feet I wanna hear what the air's like where you breath i wanna feel what's real with your heart on your sleeve I wanna take nz elevate the game so we gotta erase that shit that's fake 1.36 But you'll still drop that shit that's obnoxious cause the fans want that shit and you don't even see the other options cause you're accosted in your own problems see you on the spot, I can see that you're lost on the beat tryna flee from your demons tryna be a big man never see the bigger plan and the heedlessness increases best believe that we gon see some major pain arise in our lifetime and you've got the gift of rhyming so why don't you let that light shine this is the art where a man named Pac could spark the hearts of all humans this the music where dudes could be spitting some truth that could lead to a movement you could be doing it too but you're choosing to spit all these ludicrous tunes sipping the brews as we're losing community, losing the earth in it too but what do you do how do you move what are your options seeing the truth this shit'll consume you, break your illusions leave you to shake in your boots and you can act tough like you don't give a fuck fuck your facade you're just giving up the world is in trouble, you could do something and I'm just here tryna get you started get this shit out the too hard basket get your ass out an early casket move us past the impasse and use your craft for something Ain't here tryna knock you bro just let that poppy grow just watch those seeds you sow when the motivations based on what you're afraid of I made a song about it you feel that hate I spout Gotta spit this right out my mouth or the whole dam west falls down

Man I wanna see the world change Heal the pain that we all face getting caught up in the stories and the conflicts constantly wanting to save it But the same process that I label conflict it happens as a constant And I decide if I like it or I hate it then divide and separate it but that's crazy cause it all is really life Just arisings intertwined separated in my mind and when I see that there's no need to fight arisings then the narrative I carry seems to widen And I see lifetimes and generations lost in curiosity that keeps them captivated no battles to be had, just a deep engagement and question that expands into deeper spaces man it's easy so easy too easy easypeasy just come back, come back just come back The final temptation ain't a lady it's to try to turn the earth and to try to save it think if I can rearrange all these relative states maybe we could find a way to keep it stable But the only thing that truly is sustainable is truth and so there's nothing that I really need to do just loosen and attune and see the breaking of illusions feel the peace as the tensions just release and leave the clarity to see without avijja and this belief that there's a me that needs to be someone to meet the troubles breaches at the seams and all the highs and the lows and the do's and the don'ts man they all flow back into the ocean and the only motivations taking action are the ones that to help us find our way back

Now I finally see Wipe the dust from my eyes ain't no rhymes I could write that could catch this vibrancy of the light all I know is I try and I feel that vibe bringing tears to my eyes i'm finally free till the beam refracts and I relapse back to the state that I be at But I seen that and I see Tarchin I see Bonni See them all that have walked before before me and it's more than love that I feel cause it's all one mind, and i know that it's real at the speed of light when the space and time intertwine and it all unifies we ride that light beam we just ride that light beam just ride that light beam just ride on a light beam just ride that light man just a glimpse that timeless instant see the infinite and it shifts all ignorance is lifted and it al is clear that it all is here and it all appears as bliss no cross to bear no loss to fear just constantly it's this I see newton dude on a mission moving light in a prism Einstein with a new paradigm when he rode that light in a vision I see Pac man he shined that light of refined insight living so much life till he died too young but inspired love in the life of the slums And I see the Dharma, Feel that love of the Sangha you give me love and you give me space as you guide me to find my way There is a path the path it has no answers just constantly be asking lost in the cosmic dance gotta take that jump into nothing feel that weight lift away in a sudden and suddenly i see what they mean by suchness and we ride on a light beam
