Self Conscious Pt. I
[Verse 1]
Yo
Yeah yeah-yo
Lord
Eye of a tiger, flow of a geyser, uh
Demons inside him, can't let em guide him, no
We're army rising, feel like Poseidon
Don't fuck with em unless they riding, pull up beside you
See when you wanna roll to victory, uh
Ain't no chivalry, ain't shit for free, I hit the beats, uh
808 banging, might nod, they trembling, sent to enemy
Boy, I got kin to feed, that pretending shit, this the entity
I just tell em "I pull up like stop and pop" and then drop em like rock-a-bottom, uh
Rappers bit the same thesе days, they're too fine for novicе shit
Not me, different, he, everything contain heat
They wanna conquer my peace, they wanna cut off my feed
Kunta, Kunta, can't they [?] give me plenty rent-ey closer
And I just can't hope that it's late
I make sure some niggas ate, barely food on my plate
Besides, end that fake shit further, fuel the rampages
Certain self consciousness when I get up on the mic
You can determine how I fight by how I write
Do em dirty, fuck detergent, I ain't never tired
Say, where the finish line? See I'm gon' finish mine
Go against any kind, I'm a Demi-God
"PiRo Spyro, how's shit?" "The cycle
Mind flow, my soul, always cold but never soaked"
Commas in my sentences, got me comments for getting this
Live with the relentlessness to these rappers relenting
Say "No letting up" till I erupt
Cosmic Goro, water rust
New found energies to master, time to level up
Pressure come, 10X gravity ain't no slack in me
Adapt, it happens naturally, challenge him to my casualty
A spastic, rap-tastic mad nigga, good habits
More cabbage? More blabber, all based off no Dadda
So tragic, same nigga, same pattern, focused calories
No celery in my salary, make my people proud of me
Dad in me? Undoubtedly, now they calling the calvary
Know who I gotta be, that's the G-O-D
I'm in my seat, Allah rule, I'm on the road for it all
Vroom vroom on the dash, boy had the pack in the dashboard
Man I told ya that I'm coming in my London with no passport
Gimme your best, and then I'm past yours
[Outro]
How does consciousness happen?
Somehow within each of our brains, the combined activity of many billions of neurons
Each one, tie a biological machine
Because consciousness for each of us, is all there is
Without it, there's no world, there's no self, there's nothing at all
Think of consciousness in two different ways;
There are experiences of the world around us, full of sights, sounds, smells, there's multi censory panoramic 3D fully immersive inner movie
And there's conscious self, the specific experience of being you or being me, the lead character in this inner movie, and probably the aspect of consciousness we all cling to most times
So perception, figuring out what's there, has to be a process of informed guesswork, which the brain combines these censory signals
With it's prior expectations or beliefs about the way the world is
To form it's best guess of what caused those signals
The brain doesn't hear sound or see light, what we perceive is it's best guess of what's out there in the world
With a greater sense of understanding, comes a greater sense of wonder, and a greater realisation that we are part OF, and not a part FROM the rest of nature
AND, when the end of consciousness comes, there's NOTHING to be afraid of
Nothing at all
