(Chill Hip-Hop Version)
[Intro – soft spoken over vinyl crackle]
Yeah…
Early morning stillness…
Breath in… breath out…
We buildin’ slow.
[Verse 1]
Sunrise glow through the window pane,
Steam from the tea like it’s fallin’ rain.
I sit cross-legged, let the mind unwind,
No rush in my pulse, got time in my time.
Used to chase waves, get lost in the tide,
Now I just watch what moves inside.
Every inhale, exhale smooth,
Heart stay steady in a mindful groove.
No gold throne, no spotlight bright,
Just quiet steps in the early light.
Thoughts drift by, I let ‘em pass,
Clouds in the sky, I don’t gotta grasp.
Suffering taught me the realest art—
How to hold pain with an open heart.
[Hook – smooth, melodic]
I’m walkin’ that Middle Way, slow pace,
Lotus flower growin’ in my own space.
Every breath shape the life I choose,
No attachment, nothin’ to lose.
Dharma in the rhythm, peace in the flame,
Craft my world, never play the blame.
Step by step, I stay true—
Mindful living in the things I do.
[Verse 2]
Four truths hit like a lo-fi drum,
Life got weight but we don’t run.
Cravin’ fades when you see it clear,
All things shift, disappear.
Right speech flow when I talk my talk,
Right action show when I walk my walk.
Right view steady in the way I see,
No solid “me,” just energy.
Anger knock but I don’t let it stay,
I bow my head, let it fade away.
Impermanence — yeah, that’s the guide,
Ocean breath with the turning tide.
Build my days with compassionate hands,
Simple moves, no big demands.
[Hook – layered harmonies]
I’m walkin’ that Middle Way, slow pace,
Lotus flower growin’ in my own space.
Every breath shape the life I choose,
No attachment, nothin’ to lose.
Dharma in the rhythm, peace in the flame,
Craft my world, never play the blame.
Step by step, I stay true—
Mindful living in the things I do.
[Bridge – softer, reflective]
Storms roll in but I don’t break,
Rain fall down, that’s growth I take.
No enemy in fear or doubt,
Just lessons tryna work it out.
Compassion rise when the ego fall,
See the same light inside us all.
[Final Hook – extended]
Middle Way with a calm heartbeat,
Eightfold path in the drum’s repeat.
Wisdom deep in the roots I plant,
Grateful for this fleeting chance.
Lotus bloom through the mud and rain,
Find my peace in the joy and pain.
Breath by breath, I stay true—
Craft my life like a mindful groove.
[Outro – fading beat]
No rush… no race…
Just presence in this space…
Yeah…
Lotus in the low light.
