Treasure by Colby Jeffers 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 passing 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 masses
Enjoying all types of grasses
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 shores 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 shore , 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, tit 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
