"Tower of Babylon"

Chorus:
Live life through the pain and struggle
build strength and find your hustle
You don’t always have to flex your muscle, give back to your people, take care of your people

Gnotes:
I see the face of my fathers
in the wake of this stream,
And lie awake with the daughter
of a prince and a queen
In between another sleepless night and a dream
she breathes,
Some things are exactly how they seem
…relief

It's past the point of pulling tricks out this sleeve
that I wear on my heart
so you can watch while it bleeds,
I’ve got this thing for getting lost in the weeds
and accosted by ghosts of forgotten memories
The air’s hot up in this train station,
And I walked barefoot for blocks,
caught up in this maze racing

Running circles around the circus of clowns,
And when the sun surfaced the clouds
a purpose was found:
To put it down like a foot to ground,
Or an axe to grind,
its been past time,
Take a look around
There’s a whole wide world out your door,
start to piece together the ever after
and never before

Chorus:
Live life through the pain and struggle
Build strength and find your hustle
You don’t always have to flex your muscle
Give back to your people
Take care of your people

Kabir:
We’re all in this together or we die alone
On a mission to explore the lost unknown
Spread love through my music with words, tones
and old school beats with rustic saxophones

Dethrone your highness with a dose of the real
What you’re seeing is my state of being
and how I feel
Lets make a deal based on truth and respect
And put an end to all of the hate and neglect
Lets connect-and build bridges to utopia
We’re riding right
Open mindedness is our guiding light
Stand strong, stick with it
That's the code
Cuz there’ll be many obstacles
and bumps in the road
And my trunk’s got a load of stories untold,
And lessons learned,
from all the times I’ve got burned
No regrets
Let's learn from our mistakes,
and build a better life for all our children’s sake

Chorus:
Live life through the pain and struggle
Build strength and find your hustle
You don’t always have to flex your muscle
Give back to your people
Take care of your people
