Mind notes Pt.14 LYONS x Marvin Hagglar




These are songs from an unreleased EP recorded in 2010.
I collaborated with producers Mystic Mr Sam & Flash Nikilson 'The Grandiloquents' and a good friend of theirs an MC called 'Marvin Hagglar'.
It was really cool to collaborate with Marvin as he is a conscious brother who has thought provoking lyrics.
And we were lucky to have amazing beats by the very talented production duo The Grandiloquents.



'As We Enter'



As we enter the dragon
The dawn of new beginnings
New age of thinking
New ways of living
New time for giving
Because the future is now
Revolution is in the mind
So the time is now

I'm going to flip my creativity
Harness this positivity
Promote some social solidarity
Because what's inside of me
Manifest in peace
Manifest in love
And we destroy the beast
Two thousand and ten
Was a test for me
But my spirit stayed strong
And I kept the peace
Now this year is done
And my tears are done
So all that remains
Is the fire from my tongue
So watch out
Because I'm about to break out the box
Two thousand and eleven
SuperStead coming hot
Because I know whats what
I could never flop man
I could never drop man
I could never stop man
I keep on riffing
And keep the peace man
Keep spitting home truths
And speak the truth man
I'm just one man
But my team is strong
Positive vibrations
We move as one




'Needle In The Groove'



I've been in it for a minute
So I've been some places
Met a lot of different people
So I know some faces
Every day's another gamble
While the rats run races
Time ticking on the money clock
Take your places
Less haste more speed
That's what we need
Everybody fragmented
From the family tree
We all share the same elements
Same chemistry
I was born the same as you
You was born the same as me
Can't we see that this fallacy
Is beyond belief
It's two thousand and ten
We still die in the streets
We're still dying of disease
And tsunami's
Hurricanes
Earthquakes
Man made armies
Tears sting like killer bees
Wetting our faces
Might not see the scars
But our souls are aching
Because time's been wasting
And things ain't changing
Waiting for the wake up call
We're still waiting man



'Respiration Remix'
Inspired by Talib Kweli & Mos Def aka Yasiin Bey


Are we here
Are we there
Are we coming or going
Some up
Some down
But our blood keeps flowing
Infiltrated with chemicals
Pollutants from the air
Barrels of oil burn fires
People don't care
Is the juice concentrate
Or is it freshly pressed
Fresh daily dilemmas
Leave our brains with fresh stress
Sometimes impressed
But most times disgusted
This world is corrupted
That's why we discuss it
Locals climb through mountains
On survivor search
Another bunch of people perish
Casualties of the earth
Planes fall from the sky
Rain falls from the sky
Floods wipe away lives
We all asking why
Nothing's certain in this life
We're running on assumption
Inflated consumption
And inflated presumption
Auto function
Need to shake wake the pilot
There's too much conflict
War and violence
Facades of gods
And facades of fake spirits
Legitimise hatred
And test our limits
So the love diminish
Frozen by ice cold hearts
Governing governments
Gamble our lives
Fixing the cards
So heads remain hard
Taking lives routine
Meanwhile the struggle continues
We trying to keep it routine
Attitudes stay mean
The divide increases
Bad luck
Broken mirrors
We left picking up pieces
Everybody's got their thesis
Who's teaching the messages
Lies and rumours run through rooms
In different languages
People say they preach truth
Can't die and come back
So nobody really knows
All of the facts
The only true fact
Is everybody trying to live
We all trying to build homes
And take care of the kids
So if we change what we did
We could live the dream
We could all eat
Breathe
And all be free


PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!!!
