by nathaly l ortiz

“This is the point from which I could never return

And if I back down now then for-ever I burn

This is the point from which I could never retreat

Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace

This is the point from which I will die and succeed

Living the struggle, I know I’m alive when I bleed

From now on it can never be the same as before

Cause the place I’m from doesn’t exist anymore.”

- Immortal Technique

“Internally bleeding, cold bloodedStripped of emotion, I go through

the motions, but there’s noLife in my eyes, it’s like I’m hooked up

to a respiratorWaiting to die, hooked up to the

fucking chairWaiting to fry, sooth an electrocution

currently usedIn my execution, producing thoughts

at the speed of lightBurning confusion, I’m loosing my

sight, breathing is tightThe evening is white, I made my peace with the Lord and now I

Stand on his right..”- Immortal Technique

“As days go by my world gets colder I’m older, experience got my heart bolder Hold up, better days ahead that’s what I hope forThere’s beauty in the eyes of the beholder I told ya.”- Cyne

“Dreams are, the building blocks of my heart and my soul

The meeting unfolds, hoping that my story is told

Driftin, with eyes closed but seeing the deeper meaning

Of what I want in life, precisely when I’m dreaming

It’s so misleading, but yet I gotta follow through

Holdin true to myself in rhythm is what I wanna do

Searchin, through Bible verses, books in the Koran

Lookin for the meaning of life and the essence of all.”

- Cyne

“So I’m drifting away like a feather in airletting my soul take me away from the hurt and dispairSo I’m keeping the vertical forever elevatorRiding the escalator to the something that’s greater.”- Nujabes
