Toughen the Bones Songtext
No need to roam into the unknown
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
I go days without sleep, weeks and won′t eat
Walk on broke glass and coals with bare feet
Watch me perform feats beyond belief
Withstand the freezing cold and extreme heat
I may receive beats but won't know defeat
Slow down my breathing and calm my heartbeat
I learn to endure and to ignore pain
By shutting off nerves that inform the brain
Sustained by the air, sunshine or rain
Refrain til necessity′s all that remains
I hold my breath in four minutes and forty seconds
These old yogis they come to me for lessons
And when they exit, they ask for my blessings
Like Christians beggin' forgiveness at confession
Hearing my songs like getting your palms read
Telling you thoughts going on in your mom's head
Telling vets what the Sarge in Vietnam said
Reuniting them with friends who have been long dead
Knowing word for word what that letter you read said
From an ex-lover who double-crossed and then you saw red
No need to roam into the unknown
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
No need to roam into the unknown
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
Life is short so my rhymes are morbid
Dark and obscure like Jim Morrison
Cats talk shit but I just ignore it
Oblivious, going about my own biz
Composed shit is dope as Mr. Holland′s Opus
Cause I′m more focused than a microscope is
Remain absorbed in great concentration
More profound than any ancient meditation
Close my eyes and I'm on vacation
All caught up in my latest creation
No need to roam into the unknown
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
No need to roam into the unknown
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
My love for life′s stronger than my fear of death
And my soul won't rest after my last breath
I′m haunting any man who ever crossed me wrong
Walking through their walls long after I'm gone
In the form I was before I was born
I learned all this through constant hardships
To harness the force we all was born with
The ascetic, autotelic martial artist
Often regarded as brutally honest
Fearless, wide-eyed but tearless
Carefully careless and full awareness
In all fairness, you can′t compare this
No radio station out there will air this
This is rare shit, so rip out your hair shit
It's how I spit over kick and snare hits
No need to roam into the unknown
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
No need to roam into the unknown
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
Got the whole world outside my window
Gotta fill the belly and toughen the bones
He endures long who finds his true home
I go days without sleep, weeks and won′t eat
Walk on broke glass and coals with bare feet
Watch me perform feats beyond belief
Withstand the freezing cold and extreme heat
I may receive beats but won't know defeat
Slow down my breathing and calm my heartbeat
I learn to endure and to ignore pain
By shutting off nerves that inform the brain
Sustained by the air, sunshine or rain
Refrain til necessity′s all that remains

No need to roam into the unknown
