(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.
