You got energy, but you ain't gonna use it
You got so much time, but you ain't gonna use it
You got so much space, but you ain't gonna use it
You got a great big mind, but you ain't gonna use it
We got this energy, but you ain't gonna use it
You got so much light, but you ain't gonna use it
You got such good taste, but you ain't tryna use it
Other side to your brain, but you ain't tryna use it
You got an extra eye, but you ain't tryna use it
Remember what you find 'cause we're finna lose it

Walking around with the energy of the hot summers
Spread make the weird and illuminated degrees
The evil incarnates, they wanna take it from us
But I walk with a force, they can't penetrate my beliefs
Hey, weapons of mass distraction
Influence your patterns
The energy
Of a thousand suns
The energy in everyone

The energy baby (whoo), the energy baby
The energy baby, the energy baby (Hey)

You got energy, but you ain't gonna use it
You got so much time, but you ain't gonna use it
You got so much space, but you ain't gonna use it
You got a great big mind, but you ain't gonna use it
We got this energy, but you ain't gonna use it
You got so much light, but you ain't gonna use it
You got such good taste, but you ain't tryna use it
Other side to your brain, but you ain't tryna use it
You got an extra eye, but you ain't tryna use it
Remember what you find 'cause we're finna lose it

Hey, don't be surprised if the guilty is among us
Don't kill them, cut 'em, then you let them be
'Cause the enemy is (humongous culture poachers)
And they score their points by censoring the free
Hey, workers of mass distraction
Tryna make you branded cattle
The energy
Of a thousand suns
(Don't let them get you down, 'cause you got) The energy
(Inside) In everyone

(Now it's good, in you) (The energy, baby, the energy, baby)
(And me, you can't see? Just believe) (The energy, baby, the energy, baby)

Energy (believe), energy (believe), energy (believe)
Energy (believe), energy (believe), energy (believe)
Energy (believe), energy (believe), energy (believe)
Energy (believe), energy (believe), energy (believe)
Energy (believe), energy (believe), energy (believe)

You know that you got it right when people ask, "hey, what are you on?"
Well, this is the vivid state that revolutions are born
Did you ever realize the universe just means one song?
Your soul knew it all along, you were dancing when you were born, yeah

Contemplating time and space
Light is raging then erase
How I stand in the same place?
Connect a million miles away (skrr skrr)
ESP'ing with the mace
It come to me when I gaze
And when I listen in the ways
My mind receive it then it plays

Yo, lean forward, forward, forward, forward
But it takes you just to lay back, lay back, lay back
Lean forward, forward, forward, forward
I think it's really cool to lay back, lay back, lay back
Come on and lean forward, forward, forward
They keep telling you to lay back, lay back, lay back
But you gotta lean forward, forward, forward, forward
They say come on man lay back, lay back, lay back

It's what possessed a slave to look in the river
The hate saw his true master, fuck is a mister? (he was always master, hey)
And sober is the worthy system (yeah, shoo, shoo, shoo!)
And he's the co-creator with the giver

Detach yourself (let go, let go, let go, let go, let go)
Re-pack yourself
Be back yourself (let go, let go, let go, let go, let go)
And dream as yourself
Be seen as yourself (let go, let go, let go, let go, let go)
Beam as yourself
Scream as yourself (let go, let go, let go, let go, let go)
And be king of yourself

Contemplating time and space
Light is raging then erase
How I stand in the same place?
Connect a million miles away (skrr skrr)
ESP'ing with the mace
It come to me when I gaze
And when I listen in the ways
My mind receive it then it plays

Yo, lean foward, forward, forward, forward (believe)
Lean forward, forward, forward, forward (believe)
Come on and lean forward, forward, forward, forward (believe)
But you gotta lean forward, forward, forward, forward (believe)

(Yeah, yeah) believe
Believe
Believe
