colby jeffers - treasure lyrics
[colby jeffers]
i was born into a family with history
it was my late, great-great-grandfather that discovered the mystery
he uncovered this gift for me, but i have to admit to thee
that the world had a grip on me, i completely failed to see
the ocean right in front of me, knew i should let my soul in
too scared to dip my toes in, i was frozen
busy staring at the sandcastles, misdirecting my devotion
but then one day i was presented with a pearl
the knowledge that i have the power within me to change the world
and in the twinkle of an eye my life changed, re-arranged
the search for truth went from spark into a flame
into a fire burning the veils and lighting up the ocean blue
i knew what i had to do
i jumped in, all in, full immersion
submerging myself into the glory, switching up my story
society and self, a two-fold transformation
now i live to give my life to build a new civilization
[joel farias]
i infinitely sought for pieces of infinity
searching for purpose through wordsmith divinity
it was filling me up — with possibilities bruh
i held fast to ideas and was stuck like a suction cup
but my lips were still dry
i can’t deny there was no reply to the finds that were in my mind
and the well of religion seemed dry, never mind
i kept wandering through the valleys and the dunes
the sun was beating down as something came into view
the moment was surreal came out of the blue
a girl with a canteen said ‘i know what you need to pursue’
conversations, contemplating, mirages started fading
understanding started breaking, i felt my world shaking
we came to a place where my body felt weightless
i finally found an oasis
[chorus x 2]
i jumped into the ocean, i let my soul in
i found the treasure and now i’ve been awoken
i jumped into the ocean, i let my soul in
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever, yeah
[i be ill]
god was a fading thought in the fifth grade
living outside the box in the p-ssing days
angry and doubtful of the world’s religions
they knew of the framework but didn’t follow the vision
i was an activist, call me out on that
i know the names, and y’all could follow that
we got mumia and shakur, their wisdom preferred
then this trip took a twist unheard
my friends pulled me into action
where the question i was always asking
‘could there be a god?’
nah not probably
i’d find out flexing my philosophy
my attachments took a hold of me
‘till a made a faux possibility where i had let go of what made me
then i decided to trust his treasure and his destiny
and as y’all know the rest is history
[kishan the educator]
weighed down by the past, yo, i couldn’t move on
but this pearl was so vast, i had to surge on
accustomed to darkness, the light was flawless
so bright, i was undeserving of its might
but then i flowed into the m-sses
enjoying all types of gr-sses
a pull as if magnetic
a new home i was left with
brought pain but i could not neglect it
attracted to the rhetoric, began to treasure it
my mind and my soul became aligned to the messages
i reached the sh-r-s and i let my soul in
a dewdrop quickened me from being frozen
[chorus]
i jumped into the ocean, i let my soul in
i found the treasure and now i’ve been awoken
i jumped into the ocean, i let my soul in
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
[deeh jai]
oh-nine, in my prime, with my girl ‘n my world
figured out, without a doubt, man, i’m rollin’ with the homies
middle finger to the police, like ‘destroy to rebuild,’ cuz ‘thats just how i feel,’
give no what’s and cannot chill, nah i’m bent on being real
still one thing is for sure, i’m steady wantin’ more
like an ocean with no sh-r- , so i’m searching ocean floors
no more surfing on the surface, found a plan for my purpose
got the homies talkin’ service, cuz destruction just ain’t workin’
and attached to your boat, you’ll only ever float
and the current you’ll be fightin’, so i finally got to divin’
and the gems weren’t even hidin’, a map was in the writings
so solutions i’m applyin’, gotta get my ego dyin
need to see like the blind and, faith is hard but i been tryin’
so its hope that i been findin! yeah, yeah it’s hope that i been findin’
[jose maria fierro]
i was dazed and confused, amazed and amused
in those days when i stayed in a phase or a mood
needed rays of the truth, i was lost in my treasure map
the world was dark and i was hoping i could better that
the pitter pat of my steps took me there and back
leading me to crisis and victory, t-t for tat
it lit the match, inflicted rash effects when i strayed
so i thought i’ll stick to that path
that’s on the map that i’ve been given
i redefined my life and the way that i was living
i tried to unearth all the gems that were hidden
so i picked up my shovel and i started digging
i was saved by the grace of god
now will i be perfect? probably not
but i know where i’m from
i’m close to the one who found my soul when i was lost
through pain and tears i found the treasure
and i’ll cherish what i’ve got, i guess x marks the spot!
[chorus x 2]
i jumped into the ocean, i let my soul in
i found the treasure and now i’ve been awoken
i jumped into the ocean, i let my soul in
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
[outro]
aye, aye, aye
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
aye, aye, the prince of peace
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
aye, aye, the promised one
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
aye, aye, the most high
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
aye, aye, the blessed beauty
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
aye, aye, the glory of god
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
aye, aye, baha’u’llah
i found the treasure and i’ll cherish it forever
