Jordan Taylor - Incense Lyrics

Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme ohh
Om mani padme hum
Om!
Probably the first rapper ever
To say the eightfold path is better
If you really wanna know wassup
Well first things first
Unfill your cup
Cause if you come through with a closed mind
You're liable to get clotheslined
With good thoughts, and good action
Right words, and compassion
Imagine
What are you supposed to do
When the suffering gets to you
Want an answer that's simple?
Just follow the four noble truths
To suffer's inevitable
It's also inescapable
That's why you always end up in temples
Where you gotta just count the ten bulls
Ah ah
You know that you hear it
Don't act like you fear it
So why can't you just
Steer it
In the right direction
You can find perfection
Right there in your imperfection
If you need you some protection
Holler for connection
Dukkha's got you down
So those answers need you some
Keep your head high
Tilt it up towards the sun
We choose to follow the path of the enlightened one
So if they ever ask us
Buddha's where we get it from
You can't stay here you gotta stay upon the pathway
Don't ever stray from the eight
You'll be okay just trust me
Everything is lovely
Like it oughta be
Just remember impermanence
Then light the incense
Nothing is idolized
Enouement on the rise
Ah!
Nam myoho to the renge kyo
These are the chants that we sing to you
Hoping that the message comes through
When we hit you with the dharma flow
Oh!
Shout out to the old shifus
Making sure the teachings get to peoples
Of all different walks of life
We all gotta see the light (See the light)
Cause we all out here just searching for nirvana see
And it's all possible with simple peace and harmony
Believe that
First thing you gotta do to achieve that
Is just stop and breathe
And when you breathe out
You breathe out your old life
And when you breathe in
You breathe in the whole light
Can you hear the sound
Don't mess around
Cause every time you hit the fo guang shan
It's going down
You can't stay here you gotta stay upon the pathway (Hey)
Don't ever stray from the eight (Ay ay)
You'll be okay just trust me
Everything is lovely
Like it oughta be
Just remember impermanence (Remember remember remember that)
Then light the incense (Light it light it just light it up)
Nothing is idolized (Nothing nothing is no)
Enouement on the rise (Enouement enouement oh)
Now breathe in (Nam myoho renge kyo)
And breathe out (Nam myoho renge kyo)
Now breathe in (Nam myoho renge kyo)
And breathe out (Nam myoho renge kyo)
Just
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme ohh
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
You can't stay here you gotta stay upon the pathway (Hey)
Don't ever stray from the eight (Ay ay)
You'll be okay just trust me
Everything is lovely
Like it oughta be (Ha)
Just remember impermanence (Remember remember remember that)
Then light the incense (Light it light it just light it up)
Nothing is idolized (Nothing nothing is no)
Enouement on the rise (Enouement enouement oh)
You can't stay here you gotta stay upon the pathway
Don't ever stray from the eight
You'll be okay just trust me
Everything is lovely
Like it oughta be
Just remember impermanence
Then light the incense
Nothing is idolized
Enouement on the rise
Ah!
