Blackalicious - The Craft lyrics
This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
 This style, they say music gives new life
 From a source inside that is forever flowin'
 This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
 This life, I've been given a gift tonight
 And for that, I vow to be a vessel
 I didn't have to be given the gift to rip
 I'll never master me, I know that it's from him
 Or her or it, dimensions that sit, waitin' to sift through me
 I fall short, still it hits me swift
 I didn't have to see, I coulda hit the lick
 I coulda drifted it quick, I coulda quit so quick
 It's really a trip, I guess I was picked
 I don't know what I did to deserve a ride like this, damn!
 I didn't have to eat, I coulda been so thin
 I didn't have to be, quoting these sentences
 I didn't have to reap, the work put in but then
 Even the work in itself was such a blessin'
 I didn't have to see, the planet tip to tip
 I didn't have to make, a livin' writ to writ
 I didn't have to dream and then begin to live it
 And for that, I vow to be a vessel
 This Craft, this beat, this rhyme, this vibe
 This style, they say music gives new life
 From a source inside that is forever flowin'
 This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
 This life, I've been given a gift tonight
 And for that, I vow to be a vessel
 I give thanks for my rhymin' ability
 I don't front like it's not a responsibility
 I can open a mind, if the youth will listen to me
 I'm not goin' to front like I'm on some killin' spree
 And as hard as the times are, God is livin' through beats
 That come not from minds but that travel through spiritual reasons
 Some of the time, I feel like it's not even me
 No money can buy gateways to infinity
 Still I'm hungry to shine when I know I should let it be
 And I want but I have every single thing that I need
 So help me align self with soul and then I'll be free
 To sculpt and design verbal styles and experience freedomBlackalicious - The Craft - http://motolyrics.com/blackalicious/the-craft-lyrics.html

 This stage, this mic, this crowd, this show
 This life, I've been given a gift tonight
 And for that, I vow to be a vessel
 Let go, do what's in front of you
 Then, let go, then do what's in front of you
 This ain't leisure, although it feels
 It is a duty, a way to live, another way to give
 Another way to just, have communion with the source
 Of the sun and moon and a way to pay the bills
 Displayin' skills, I take it real serious
 The vibe's so mysterious, not just one more day to kill
 And I could lose my connection
 If I do not respect it enough, fade away it will
 Day to day it gives energies
 That replenish me, if I believe and I say it will
 And act on it, 'cause action is the key to freedom
 Only way to be a leader, lead by the way you live
