Fourth Way Freestyle (Remastered)

[Verse 1 – “Asleep at the Wheel”] Yo— I woke up dreamin’ I was wide awake Goin’ through the motions like it’s all high stakes But every move? Programmed, copy and paste Same thoughts, same fears, same food, same face They said I got choices—but who’s choosin’? My habits? My hunger? My ego’s illusion? I been dancin’ in a loop with a blindfold on Actin’ like I’m free when my soul’s long gone Gurdjieff told me: “Son, you asleep at the wheel.” You ain’t thinkin', you reactin’—that’s the devil in the deal So I shut off the noise, went inward to listen Found a watcher in the still, and a purpose in the friction [Hook – “You Don’t Know You”] You don’t know you—nah, not yet You think you do, but you just a cassette Playin’ the same song every day, on cue Wake up, or stay trapped in the dream of you You don’t know you—just gears in disguise Walkin’ through the world with a stranger’s eyes Till you stop, breathe, and begin to see— The man in the mirror ain’t always the "me" [Verse 2 – “The Work”] Forget nirvana—I’m tryna build a soul Piece by piece, brick by brick, whole by whole Ain’t no shortcut, guru, or golden code Just tension in the moment, and the weight you hold Three centers—think, feel, move in sync But I been scatterbrained, heart numb, body on the brink Gotta balance the scale, align the keys Become a real "I" that don't bend with the breeze Yo, it’s hard work—but that’s why they call it The Work Awareness ain’t sexy, and the ego goes berserk But I’d rather suffer with a light in my chest Than sleepwalk pretty in a well-dressed death [Bridge – Spoken, sampled voice like an old recording] “A man does not possess a soul… he must earn one.” “To remember yourself, in every moment—that is the beginning of real life.” [Hook – “You Don’t Know You” – Repeat with harmonies and beat breakdown] You don’t know you—nah, not yet You think you do, but you just a cassette Playin’ the same song every day, on cue Wake up, or stay trapped in the dream of you You don’t know you—just gears in disguise Walkin’ through the world with a stranger’s eyes Till you stop, breathe, and begin to see— The man in the mirror ain’t always the "me" [Outro – whispered chant, fading out] “I am. I watch. I Work.” “…I remember myself.”
