They say it's mind over matter
But what matters is on my mind
Even if you’re flawless
With the perfect behind
in the end what it ends up breaking down for me
Is you gotta learn to love yourself and your inna beauty
Ha! Who are you, can you tell me?
The true meaning of you, quintessentially
If I strip you down
And get to know your soul
Are you someone I would keep
Or want to leave alone?
[[ Yeah, I see you, you got the heart of a lion
But you, got the brains, that you can rely on
And, I - see you’ve got both, beauty and brawn
You’re a natural, stand up proud, and keep on walking tall
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Keep on walking tall, and tell em all
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within ]]
(nah nah nah~)
Now now now,
This life can be lonely and make you feel undeserved
Making you question your self worth
And There isn’t a quick fix to get you out of it
You’ve gotta recognize, persevere, never quit
Use your wits about you, cunning sharp like a knife
Beauty aint forever, so use it right
Never stop listening to your inner voice
That says you've got one life so you gotta make a choice
[[ Yeah, I see you, you got the heart of a lion
But you, got the brains, that you can rely on
And, I - see you’ve got both, beauty and brawn
You’re a natural, stand up proud, and keep on walking tall
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Keep on walking tall, and tell em all
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within ]]
I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions.
I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over.

This album really captures the feel of the series. The hope that's hidden behind rage, fear, despair. You can sense all of it. EyeQ has a great support cast on this album as well, with none of the featured artists feeling out of place, they all feel as if they are strengthened by their placement here. Definitely glad I picked up a copy of this album as it was well worth twice the price I paid. Looking forward to more amazing things from EyeQ. smugzug
