The Undergrads - Refine Myself

[Lyrics] The Undergrads - Refine Myself [Hook] Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself. Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself. [Verse 1] I was walkin’ with a weight on the back of my mind, Old patterns in my steps tryna keep me confined. But the Voice of the wind said, “Leave it behind,” Let the higher grades pull you where the spirit's aligned. I been wrestlin’ with the shadows like a lifelong test, Tryna clear out the bad habits that stole my best. Purify thought — let the mind find rest, Feel Jehovih in the breath, movin’ through my chest. No anger in my heart, no revenge I chase, I return good for evil — with a warrior’s grace. When the ego get loud, and Im crashin the gate, I only pray that jehovih cast light in my space. Cycles of the Arcs got me watchin’ for signs, Pray at dawn, noon, & night, keepin peace on my timeline. Each day’s a new test, from the nest we climb, With aim to raise the grade, as the soul refines. [Hook] Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself. Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself. [Verse 2] Pure food, pure thought — that’s the vow I take, Let the beast-life go, for Jehovih spake. No poison in the body that the world might make, Lionsmane is my chicken, Portabellos my steak. I been learnin’ that refinement dont happen overnight, It’s a bunch of small things that keep stackin’ in the Light. Every lust I deny, makes the spirit ignite, when u lost, the path seem incoherently bright. I don’t condone war, won’t bless no blade, No blood on my hands, aint a man I hate. Laborin' for others, let the soul make grade, Watch for the snakes, that lay await in the shade. Hold to the rites, when the wrongs arrive, Slence the lower self, when the ego rise, Praise grow high, as the old ways die, & I move with the text that Jehovih provide, [Hook] Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself. Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself. [Verse 3] I been speakin’ to my past like, “You good? We done?” All that chaos you carried had me always on the run. But I’m cleaner in the spirit since I let you be one Of the lessons, not the leader — now the Light get spun. Used to chase after things that would fracture my mind, Now I sift every motive just to see what I find. If the shadow try to whisper, I don’t press rewind, I just breathe, let it pass, leave the noise behind. Refinement got me movin’ with a whole new stride, Puttin’ books to the test when the text collide. It’s a quiet kind of growth — not a show, not a slide, Just peace gettin’ louder on the spiritual side. Ain’t no rage in my frame like it used to be, I can talk to cops now, without em shootin' me, If a thought turn foul, I give it scru-tiny, Cause Oahspe got the tools to set ya future free. [Hook] Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself. Breakin free from the darkness that I once upheld, Cuttin off the anger where the shadows swelled, Aspire to the Light where the angels dwell, Every day Imma rise to refine myself.
