lyrics

Look at the bright side to walk in the light I put the shades on
Smiling underneath of depression, masquerade's on
Faces in the crowd with the loud mouths, the pressures on
None of it matters especially when the pressures on
Trap in a vessel oxygen level's depleted
I'm reaching for help, nobody else thinking I need
Selfish and greed turning me on am I the victim
but who is to blame if it doesn't fit who you're naming it
There's no surrender and no retreat cause I survived
The holocaust of all of ya'll so it's not a surprise
When the bird rises from the ash it's called phoenix
Prior to that when you set fire to that than what's the meaning
Piecing together the puzzle to get my life in order
The single file devil line going around the corner
The definition of truth seems to be telling lies
They cover up when I'm coming up terrified of my naked eyes


What is blindness to a man who's sight is cured
What is paralysis to a woman who stands and walks again
What is darkness to the rising sun
What is fear to someone who becomes a hero
What is heartache to a couple who says I do at the alter
What is a lie in the face of the truth
What is a coma to a patient who awakes
What is the crucifixion to a son who rises
What is hours of study to a student that passes the test
What is hunger to a Thanksgiving feast
What is labor to a new Mother holding her child
What is death to a man reborn
What is sadness to joy
What is being lost to he who is found
What is the question to the answer
When your life is exalted and you are lifted from the ashes of suffering and
relieved of the burden you once carried you will find that the past quickly
becomes a distant memory and all that time you used to spend worrying
about the future will be transformed and eclipsed by all the time you will
now spend enjoying and being grateful for the present. Your time will come.
Your time has come.
What is time to the timeless.
What is restlessness to the content.
What is a wound to the healed.
What is pain to perspective.
Never look back, for redemption eclipses all and it awaits all who forge the
forward path and do not give up on the vision.

THE XAV Philadelphia

Black Duke comes to you after a 37 year practice in hip hop forms.
It began as The Psyche trip. A look at the dark side of being an artist fighting depression. During the making of the album, writing new songs served as a form of therapy and the concepts changed.
Black Duke is about fighting, Surviving conflict and proving that longevity does matter in a form that is associated with youth. ... more
