about

Title track of the 9 EP Series, Three Pounds of Flax, which has been thought up after reading the Zen Koan;
A monk asked Tozan when he was weighing some flax: "What is Buddha?"

Tozan said: "This flax weighs three pounds."

lyrics

Three pounds of flax

where? There. Stare everywhere.
Unless you like to sit down get the fuck out the chair
we can be together like jefferson air
let's play chess & wrestle with bears
witness the dismiss of treasures & heirs
loom the boomboomroom with peasants and scare
living shit from rich pivot driven pricks
skinny pimps rule with invisible fists
kick frivolous dipshit didthis kids on the lips
don't get it twisted shrimps, this kid iS lifted, snitch
ya think ya tokyo driftin? Slick ya tires
follow the money wires, lift the tint
where's ya next clue, did you get the hint?
Here's three pounds of flax, can you sniff a glimpse?

Are you a gifted imp? Or a simple wimp?
Feel beat down like a wicked gimp?
Let's meet in secret on that magician's tip
this, that, this that militia shit
from dorks to womyn without perfect picture tits
danse on their graves, just lift ya hips
this for the misses that teach them quips
not just bullshit quizzes tips on bell hooks hakim bey or howard zinn
oh, I don't know, I make flows now & then
tap into some chaos, tao or zen
here's three pounds of flax, have you found your chin?
(if not just tap the power within)
