Rabbit Hole 02:16
Yes yes What you saying peoples I fell down the rabbit hole..... I’m a lot less mainstream Fell down the rabbit hole in my dreams it seems conspiracy theories match up well with me and my technicolour coat of armour My stories tell well like Joseph a charmer Translating for kings Keep my frequency high all I want is good karma Laying my seed for the son like Joseph the father, Giving life to the wood, he would master the art of carpentry Watching my words build with mastery In The wonderland Alice invited me for tea But the truth you sip is polluted water without the filter That shit stinks but a dose of reality that make it a hard swallow Make the piss turn dark yellow Not quenching my thirst for knowledge Feeling sick mad at myself like how could I’ve been so shallow In this school of life still tryna get my first degree But they lied to me throughout history so I couldn’t take the lectures Wanna talk to me about my future while they made up my past Told me it started from people like me being captured and traded physically put in chains being berated to being enlightened by their captors only knowing God through their captors, nah !!! that was mentally being put in chains Where they aimed to gain the upper hand on this made up thing called race based on skin…. So this influx of a superior complex came in , born by inferior minds who seek to control mankind for their own kind, own sake, these snakes would have us forsake ways of our fore fathers who paved the way, had us believing it was a pagan way, But that’s Satans way, the great deceiver, these religious cats call him the redeemer… Not knowing he’s the god that they worship, On This journey packing bags cos the mind travels Thoughts unravel mixing words like it’s all scrabble We’re in a spiritual war, mission critical, against Alphabet plots, A.I Digital Truth stranger than fiction, all metaphysical But This realm got us deaf, dumb and short sighted can’t see past the physical… Tied down by material gains, material strains in a material world, where we literally kill for diamonds and pearls, these pirates got blood in the cloths they claim cut from a different material Alligator smiles from these crocodiles Their Crooked with their smiles faking tears man it’s been a while, Since I spoke from my truth, man this swamp is vile Can judge a man by his words but it’s better by his deeds Man talk about peace and truth, but kill over greed Got half the world starving Poisoned by the lies they feed That shit best believe We’re gonna do this Rise like oak trees They can’t put us down anymore man I see Sometimes you try to ignore it, don’t want it to affect you, either way, try to block out the noise but you can’t do that. Sometimes it’s that noise, you know, you gotta speak out

Like Us 02:35
I ain’t going to lie the last 3,maybe 5 years I found it mentally rough For the most part I think I covered it up Camouflaged with that Bravado I called it playing it tough But it was a lot My lack of self worth got worse, when anxiety struck, I might have been in a good place but it didn’t really give a fuck Nah it said Fuck you and your job, your marriage, family and your way of life, had me feeling numb like I was lifeless a dead man walking, roaming searching for meaning needing to feel what life is Priceless Something I could ill afford to pay the sacrifice for The cheap talk served me well when it was cool to be self demeaning, at least it gave me some type of feeling, And in that moment of crisis, I saw The world revealing their own scars Token support for BLM a false facade a charade, designed to create division I mean more scars, The irony of the hypocrisy were out here loving the bars of our own stars who talk about how they’ll lay to rest people who look like me and you in a space next to our grandmas, Their talking 6ft Deep but can’t see years deep to seek inner peace while their in the scrum knee deep Talking bout rest in peace, we claim to be woke we talk like we’re still sleep Still sheep, Without the shepherd Out here praising goats we don’t call billy Looking like a symbol for Baphomet they been fucking with you since they created the alphabet Casting spells that crept up like a sneak attack but knowledge reign supreme over nearly everyone Make a man think big and grow rich in the slum Sitting like he a king with his book on the hill planning his next move like napoleon It’s like they pissed on spots where innocent blood spilled their chills gave me chills How they ill filtrate, to act like us, cos they look like us, can flex like us, talk like us but don’t give a fuck about any of us, Money talks like Music to the ears that make the bullshit walk These are my thoughts, caught captured on my cell phone to keep still in my multitude of universe, when I connect to self and download the emotions that cloud my intellect, I suspect I’m a bit off in retrospect but it’s cool when I reflect because I’m years of work in progress and not quite there yet That this is as good as it gets until the next Time I right something meaningful to The spiritual Value of my essence, I’m part of a gift that defines Gods presence And it’s time I speak up now there is only the present moments to live by Be a part of me and I still try cos I & I wanna rule my destiny You see me.

He Cares 02:57
He cares but swears he act like he don’t Got that false pride, the type that hide behind lies Admit it he won’t He won’t be, one of them dudes, that appears to show weakness Not knowing that very same thought be a definition of weakness Misplaced stubbornness And a bruised ego complete this False façade He playing games but holding no cards What he kept close to his chest Weren’t worth talking about A waste of time Like tyre kickers Who are nothing but keyboard warriors With the wrong type of work out for running their mouth But we pissed cos we didn’t figure it out sooner Time lost tryna give a fuck What he thought He weren’t there when I fought Me, myself against my third I So how I, Been blind to see what came before me Was me equal to I Creating my own pie Like something from my bakery I break bread, read the books my father read, to get ahead but instead I was misled looking at this world through my tainted vision Blurred between the lines I see my Gods vision Tryna paint a picture full of colour seeing black n white, unite fight the parasites how we break division I'm on mission, not for television, raise my frequency, during intermission, yes we seeking peace but that don't mean submission I'm here wishing, on a well, like a fairy tale , singing to myself like I'm waiting to exhale, Find the time to breathe as I free my soul from hell. The crowd gather round this my story just to tell They love an underdog helping hand for those who fell The love picks you up so the spirit will prevail They say it's all a trap so were free from the jail Imprisoned in your mind cos they wanna see you fail Escaping in my thoughts like a brother made bail He felt suppressed Reality a bitter red pill to digest Feeling hard pressed Felt a burden on my chest I was living life like all I know is stress Shortening my breath like I’m to close to death Life is kinda short am I far from success I’m tryna run this race but I’m hating on these steps I’m tryna give my all, ain’t got nothing left Been writing all my wrongs, I put it right in my quest Cos this a game of chess, these pawns are in a mess Enslaved to the cheques, we got lives to protect They Divide and disconnect, we connect to internet They insult our intellect, but we ain’t ready yet But the truth is getting set, so the brother getting prepped Im tryna take this weight like it’s just another rep It’s just another push cos the strain got me vexed I can feel it my veins like the pains in my brain I’m tryna maintain keep my cool just the same In between my shame I took the blame so I changed Lanes For root cause analysis destination had shock Body on paralysis like I couldn’t move for a moment That felt like a lifetime As I past time in past time Looking back at my future Seem a young Martin Luther Hailing his queen Like how he salute her The moment he greet her She smile Like Mona Lisa A Picture paints a thousands words Felt in the depth of the nerves As my perception Breeds life A sense of time into existence I thought I gave up But I was just facing resistance In my act of persistence in this instance Seize the moment

Something I wrote I’m trying to move away from, talking depression or hurt or a bit of my emotional effect of my adolescent times. But fuck it. I Wanted to write some deep shit but I can’t cos I’m in deep schhh A sea of emotions Turning the tide In stormy weather Trying get my shit to together To do better, be better, a go better Love better, to serve better Feeling held back I cut ties and tether To feel light as a feather But my weight of expectations Keeps me grounded Destiny found me Before these winds that come like hurricanes Blow me away Lost in the sounds of their whistle I hear the spirit calling Like an echo delayed Felt nature had something to say When it matched my thoughts Cry me a river So it pissed down with rain But no singing down memory Lane Shackled by pain I thought easy to explain But again I’ve been here before Flashbacks or Déjà vu I’m ready to rendezvous With the gift called present Talking to myself what makes me a better you If I continue to beat me Then In essence I guess that makes me my enemy Fell victim to my adolescence What I done immature Far removed from pure Young, undefined headstrong and raw All before tussles with law Just to get attention ain’t worth it when you look into the eyes of love and see disappointment That shit stays with you, lives with you grows with you, I had the appointments But talk is cheap, sitting there, taking about here and there only to be made aware, I felt like I was going nowhere, Moving in circles, hating my circle had to be careful showing to much emotion will have me looking tearful But who wants to be square, screaming life ain’t fair always on edge so I pledged to make the sacrifice To value my Life priceless Looking for some deeper meaning cos life is…. What you make it, so take it I’m dialled in, the ability to make things happen My x gene a genie in a lamp when I think things happen I ‘m dialled in, I got the calling Dust the dirt of my shoulder stopped the falling I’m off the bench on the field now I’m balling They told me skies the limit on GOD now I’m soaring Living life to the fullest never boring Put my life heart sweat and tears that’s my all in Thinking outside the box non conforming self doubt had time stood still it was stalling Feeling underwhelmed got me overwhelmed in a realm where the cold blooded at the helm been Under stormy weather hearing the thunder that made I wonder what haarp sound like Clouds looking like ships cloaked when I looked up and took shelter cos I felter little bit of rain that was no joke Sign of a storm coming, that got me transforming to thick clothes like Optimus prime imitating eskimo's in the North Pole, They’ve changed time got us chasing life increasing our death toll, we out here rushing paying fake tax for life’s tolls, My soul touched by the nerve causing pain I Felt it in my veins, when I was shackled by chains I’ve been a slave to the ways of the vain My ego full of praise but little did I gain Shower me with rain and wash away the stains I’m feeling born again but nothing really changed I’m feeling short changed cos things ain’t the same And I done paid the price where the rules to this game I rolled the dice with the three blind mice They took me for my word and they gave me good advice Don’t be blinded by the lights when your tryna live your life Self respect is hard and you gotta earn your stripes So I rock my Adidas if my track suits Blocking out the noise likes it’s on mute Silent with my words but it’s still truth Louder with my acts just to reach youth May they know truth, like the lost seed to their roots May it nourish the soul planted this the season to bare fruit But I got lost in memories of who I’m suppose to be Riddles with clues in philosophies, conspiracies and ancient histories like ancient books The truth looks like ancient symbols a code for the enlightened to practice been told if you overstand the symbols, I have the ability to make things happen

A yo!!! What you saying? Yeah it’s like, it’s like Yo During my shadow work In my soul search For what it’s worth My head hurts While I take a break I shadowbox These on orthodox Demons With two fingers up Screaming like Tupac I don’t give a fuck My thoughts corrupt I disrupt When I speak abrupt To deconstruct The bad influence That still constructs Some false beliefs That lies beneath the surface Nervous In waters deep Where’s it hard to breath for the best Semen Still carrying the seed believing in It’s entire being given meaning for its simple reason May the seed bare fruit laid to rest in the egg I made it while on my last legs What manifests is bless As I became a product of creation Looking around me embracing my current situation Taking it all In while making some strange affiliations We don’t really look alike But it’s you I like So we ain’t gotta be hating I’m just saying Cos under the guise of satan Got the world divided, Money, colour, greed believe All of them tools divisive they don’t wanna see the town united These Red Devils Vibe on a whole different level Like the 1999 treble Seeking total domination If it weren’t for the rebels We’d be still asleep Dead weight like body bags in a heap When did the price for life become so cheap When hierarchy laid out the table and arghhh dangled a seat The truth is coming out People speaking out See their secrets leaking out Exposing what they really be about Controlling everything but who will figure out Inner circles deep and they wanna shut us out The truth is coming out People speaking out See their secrets leaking out Exposing what they really be about Controlling everything but who will figure out Inner circles deep and they wanna shut us out We’re living in the last days Old ways of the past ways In the modern age Where the earth phased It’s 5D, vibed raised for the high praise 3D’s getting cloned they were not saved They act up played their part for this earths cage They throw shade split hairs like a low fade I’m powered up solar flared by the suns rays I’m star struck every time when I sun gaze My melanin download what the truth say My ancestors guide me kinte kunta I feel fresh in the seas where I just bathed Currency by the bank I was just paid Picture perfect uncle tom that’s rich slave Shackled in the chains save yourself what the truth gave Set me free hard to see the world in misery We need change and it’s gotta start with you and me The truth is coming out People speaking out See their secrets leaking out Exposing what they really be about Controlling everything but who will figure out Inner circles deep and they wanna shut us out

I’m on my grind Tryna roll deep And live free From the cushty cell im in In the mind Set with boundaries and limitations But is covered up by my good job, well paid so that makes me a good slave To the ways of the system, I’m exploiting That exploits the world I live in But unattached from While plugged in to the matrix I’m tryna unplug from Hmmm That’s an element of fear Don’t wanna rock the boat To fuck up my flex when I’m so near To what I want Only to question what I want When I’m there I'm aware, I’m dreaming, but still asleep Cos most days I’m making sense of a nightmare When I feel in despair because I’m not quite there But what’s there when it’s all in the mind, Who decided I’m there and by what standard did they demand it That I’m willing to sacrifice My whole life for Defined success by status, to achieve what’s all in material With notoriety But not spiritual but became my reality That I’m scared to lose because I refused to follow my gift given, learned and nurtured So I say depression feels like slow murder, negative self talk, is slow torture, like days without food that nourish the mind , no food for thought, so running on empty until motivation gives me plenty To think about I’m Distracted by their distractions That keep us distracted Poisoning our hearts so our desires distracting Are you rooted ??? Do you move from a place of ego Or from a place of love Do you recognise the difference Do you know that they can never live in the same place The EGO Don’t you know it stops you from tasting Dreaming of big things Only to get lost and at what cost Undoing curses takes more than rehearsing words It takes patience and forgiveness first You see your enemy is just you Staring in the mirror at your own reflection Looking for perfection, when all you need is correction And Correction is just your heart steering you to the right direction Are you starting to get it??? The depth of despair does more than just wonder on empty conscience Stay AWAKE

about

Shadow Work is best described as AniJAH's Spoken Word poetically put and expressed in Rap.
Sharing his raw emotions AniJAH bares his personal frustrations that have often previously effected him, mentally, physically and spiritually.

AniJAH also notes his frustrations with the outside world and what he feels is a misuse of power that effects us all in numerous ways that we don't often understand but feel.

AniJAH's honesty is both refreshing and thought provoking while also providing tonics of positive force and a raw glimpse to the depths of thought and feelings of enlightenment that can come from a person during their Shadow Work.

Embrace your so called good, bad and ugly and love all of you. In the darkness came light.

Change

"Planting seeds while I weed out roots,
my truth like water for the soil
bearing fruit,
in need of that energy like vitamin c
in the juice,
im walking my own path, bare foot on this road without boots

I was waiting for the right moment, like waiting for tomorrow that
never comes,
became my excuse, I used to start running from
the change I want to become.

Follow my Journey !!!
