Evolution is a beautiful, unifying vision
But when science gets too ambitious, it shades into âscientismâ
If you take the time to listen to enlightened mystics
Like the Dalai Llama, youâll see, thereâs other kinds of wisdom
What can Darwin teach me about the transcendental experiences
Iâve found through meditation, or the boundless mysteriousness
Of existence? What? That Iâm just delirious
And itâs just an illusion that corresponds to certain neurological areas?
Câmon, letâs be serious; itâs not all in the cerebellum!
Human nature has a physical level, and a spirit level
And the transcendent is imminent in the material â itâs very subtle
But itâs a theory for which science has no clear rebuttal
Consciousness came before matter, not vice versa, and itâs
Only through love and compassion that the spirit side emerges
And rappers are channeling that spirit when they recite their verses
But all the sex and violence, well, thatâs biological urges
