MrGreenStrings is my long time brother from another mother.
He is such a creative guy and a talented musician.
We worked on an unreleased acoustic EP in 2009.
All the music was written and performed by Mr GreenStrings.
This EP was the result of us just jamming and having fun and the unplugged recordings from Mr GreenStrings' little four track really capture that vibe.
I look forwards to more collaborations in the future because I know MrGreenStrings is always keeping it creative and will always be an inspiration to me.
More Love - SuperGreen for life!
'Stay Green' (2009)
Push boundaries
Lifestyle irrigation
Combat inflation
With informed information
Tactical strategies
To survive in this world
Propaganda breeds ignorance
The truth is upheld
But the truth is a lie
And the answers are scarce
Many are condemned
But few are ever spared
Because the glare from hungry eyes
Is constantly fixed
Disguise the real aims
With policies and politics
Inspect the spectacle
With your spectacles
Not hard to see the intentions
Of individuals
In a money made mirage
White power in black cars
Retract the common sense
With TV and pop stars
False prophets
With false messages about this world
Centuries of indoctrination
For boys and girls
Picture frame memories
Stand still behind glass
But we running on the clock
Because time flies fast
People exhaust their resources
Caught in a hype
Is fate floating in the wind
Or written down
In bold type
But if we change the letters
Will the words read the same
Trying to decipher the cypher
Is the beautiful game
But it's never easy
And there's never a conclusion
Unlocking life's mysteries
Is just an illusion
So we fraught with confusion
While we search for solution
Busy bees in our hives
World filled with pollution
No distribution
Of worldly wealth
No guarantees of good food
Good homes
Or good health
Who's left on the shelf
Who's upfront
Right in the window
Will a man live long
Or will he leave a young widow
No one ever knows
Because we can't see tomorrow
Can't see our happiness
Can't see our sorrow
So we invest in the now
And we hope somehow
We live good until our final
Life and death showdown
'Discovery' (2009)
We discovered
Hip hop is still alive
We discovered
Hip hop will keep us alive
We uncovered
Saw the real truth from the lies
Now we bump the real tunes
Every day of our lives
We discovered
Hip hop continues to thrive
We discovered
Hip hop the trade we ply
We've uncovered
Tricks of the trade to apply
Bass lines fly
The beat never dies
I discovered
On the undercover
There's a lot of brothers
There's a lot of lovers
There's a lot of people
Making real sense
There's a lot of people
Not about pounds and pence
Because the mainstream
Is blinded by the fake gleam
Jewels and cars
Blinded by the fake dream
It may seem
That it's all good
But it's all hood
So it's no good
Some do what they should
Some do what they shouldn't
Some did what they could
Some tried but they couldn't
Because there's success
But they ain't the best
Underground music
Is what I bump in my set
Because hip hop will live
As long as we can breathe
And soul will keep playing
Until the day that we leave
So I believe in the music
Everyday
I know the next LP's
Just a stones throw away
'Staying At Home' (2009)
I'm just staying at home
Going to turn off my phone
Please people leave my alone
I just need some time on my own
Because now I'm a grown man
I'm trying to get in the zone man
Tune into myself and
Forget the rush
I'm just staying at home man
Time used well
Or time just to squander
Sit by myself
Take time to ponder
Days of my life
Lived just for me
Avoid the fussing and fighting
Just feel happy
It seems not many minutes
Can be spared these days
So many different pressures
In so many different ways
Constant tug of war
With myself and I
Sometimes I want to sit back
And let life fly by
Keep my own company
And keep it well
Who's really got my back
Only time will tell
But I know I've got
My best interests at heart
I'll be there until the end
Because I was there at the start
I'm a people person
But personally
Sometimes i just need
Some time for me
So if you don't see my face
Can't reach my phone
Then you know I'm probably
Just staying at home
'Custom Made' (2009)
Custom made
Handwritten
Handcraft
We playing our part
We perfect our art
No forgeries
We're straight from the heart
Listen close
We're straight from the heart
Straight from the start
From day one
I played my part
Always kept it real
And kept the love in my heart
But the road has been rocky
I stumbled a few times
I had a lot of struggles
And written a lot of rhymes
If you cant love yourself
Then you can't love others
But I got love for myself
So I got love for my brothers
So forget moving keys
My boys are playing the keys
They bang the drum kit
To make you shake your knees
Nimble fingers touch strings
Hear the guitar sing
The bass man bouncing
With impeccable timing
And I'm here rhyming
Just doing my thing
Looking at my brothers
But I'm still wondering
What will it take
For the love to prevail
We're not meant to die young
We're not meant to be in jail
We need more real living
Loving and giving
Eat good food
And keep the soul singing
PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
