Mind Notes Pt.63 'All Day & All Night'

Yesterday 

Was about last night

And today

Is about tonight

So we do this thing

All day

All night

All day

And all night

Another sip 

On the Captain Morgan

Forget about it

Worry in the morning

No cap

It's straight from the bottle

Pirates life

We're moving full throttle

28 servings

Building a levy

Rap until my eyes close

Pen get heavy

Might get messy

If we move past midnight

Takes as long as it takes

Until the sound's right

Gimme' little sound bite

DJ wheel up

I'm on the set list

Door man

Ease up

Here for the party

Right old knees up

Positive vibes man

I'm that geezer

Look no further

It's good vibrations

Couple more shots

Get down with the ravers

Music made us

Sorry to the neighbours

Sorry to the haters

Turn up the faders

Mount gay

In the nutribullet

Mango and lychee

That'll do nicely

Jamming with wifey

Drinks stay icy

Writing free music

Lyrics ain't pricy

Got a new flow

Got a new show

Let's showcase

Is that alright with you mate

Is it alright if we play

Until real late

Old school lock in

Drop new dubplate

Because we got nuff' hits

In the locker

Go all night

Like an old school rocker

Real rock & rolla

Get bowled over

Come with the heat

Before the shows over

Because it's blood

Sweat and tears

And black ink

Not just a black thing

Worldwide rapping

Worldwide skanking

Better get your shoes on

Better get a move on

This is the movement

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.62 'Tip My Hat'

Off the beaten track

Pack my bag

And tip my hat

Had enough

Of the fake pop

Hip hop

On a next trip

That's where we're at

So get off my cloud

I'm loud and proud

I see the silver lining

They say it's about the talent

But it's all about the timing

Hello hello

Who's looking

Hello hello

What's cooking

I'll have some pudding

Extra custard

Old school

Diamond geezer

Mustard

Came from the era

Childhood bliss

Nowadays these youths

Taking the...

Hit and miss

Still shoot for the target

But can't see the trees

Through the woods

And the darkness

Back up

Back up

Take another look

Don't miss it

Pack up

Pack up

Run to the sun

With our wishes

We know

We know

That the end is near

And the future

Is far from certain

So we live on a wing

And a prayer

We wake each day

And meet each person

Ok ok

What's happening

Ok ok

Back to rapping

Crazy creating

Mad innovation

Stay left field

Philosophers debating

Came from the days

Truths still spoken

Nowadays token

Promises broken

Mind still open

Avoiding the box

Keys to the city

Can't find the locks

Hold up

Hold up

Marvel at the martian army

Hold up

Hold up

Speak peace

Because the world too narly

We know

We know

That love still exists

We believe

And dig a little deeper

So hope for the best

And plan for the worst

Keep moving

On to the future

Alright alright

Still here now

Alright alright

Fight fear now

At the end of the tunnel

Search for the light

In a world full of wrong

It's hard to do right

Is the future bright

Or is the future bleak

Living day by day

And week by week

They say the meek

Inherit the earth

But the game's been fixed

Since the day of my birth

Stand up

Stand up

Here's my two cents

Take it and count it

Stand up

Stand up

Seek freedom

Search until we've found it

We know

We know

That justice

Lives and breathes

In the hearts of the people

So we light the flames of truth

We carry the torch

And burn down evil

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.61 'Forgotten In The Morning'

One two

Skip a few

Clap Clap

Everybody's got a story

Holla back

What's the moral of the story

It's all forgotten in the morning

Pray tell another fable

Listen

Some end in tears

Some end in kisses

Might be a cool guy

Out with the Mrs

Or might be a scallywag

Up to dodgy business

Before the great escape

A cheeky wink

I seen them in the newspaper

They in the clink

Blink

And you might just miss it

Get caught slipping

The real hustle is real

That'll do

Run with the wolves

Sleep with the fishes

Saving the pounds

Spending pennies on wishes

Pandora's box

Got flipped tipped open

Hope left out

And the dreams got broken

Token words

Are spoken daily

Perceptions hazy

Mindset crazy

Pushing up the daisy's

If your not careful

Tsunami ripples

From tear drop pebbles

Might be another daydream

Dreaming

Might be a real plan

Might be scheming

Might be leaving

Pack up the suitcase

Or lost with the squirrels

A certified nut case

Red lights

Don't stop

They on the run

Business

Up in the car

They got a gun

Are the really gonna' kill him

Did he have it coming

Or an innocent victim

You choose

Judge and the jury

Think clearly

Or blind blind fury

Man made jewellery

Alcoholic potions

Rock and roll dole

Million pound mansions

People mention

Hate for snitches

But honours lost

They'll take your riches

Will we live

To tell this story

Will we live

To see the morning

Mind Notes Pt.60 'Road To Nowhere'

They said I'd never do it

But I did it my way

They said I'd never make it

So I hit the highway

Road to nowhere

Shooting stars

Tie my laces

Scribble bars

Run along 

And sing some songs

We'll show the world

Just who we are

Controller 

We're clear for landing

Come through

With the 83 man them

Through the darkness

Love's still standing

Move towards light

Hate we abandon

Foreign extra

Pop the yellow top

Cab to the front door

Roads on top

And its all day long

It don't stop

So we stick to the codes

Because we know

What's what

Gold leaf

On my water receptacle

Watch a scholar at work

It's a spectacle

Ten steps ahead

They say I'm sceptical

But the forces are strong

It's exceptional

We forget them all

The signs flashing

No time for talk

It's straight action

Faded Levis

Lean back in

Built from sterner stuff

No crack in

More time

So we make the most of it

More life

So we sit and toast to it

Feel the wheel spin

When the car move

Scope the horizon

Caught in a groove

It's a journey

I pledge my life to

But no telling

When life might bite you

So it's all in

Full house or bust

Odds seem shaky

Gamble a must

With a smile I embrace the day

But time tick too fast

Keep running away

Always something to say

They keep hating

But I'm off 

On a tangent debating

Innovating

Classic elements

Spit relevance

Escape the tenements

Escape the clutches

Of ancient ignorance

Dust off the truth

Share out the remnants

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
