Mind Notes Pt.30 'Cash Flow'




'Cash Flow' produced by Mystic Mr Sam

5 pounds
10 pounds
20 pounds
50 pounds
Hundred pounds
Thousand pound
Million pounds
Billion pounds
Economics dictate
Our basic elements
Blood sweat and tears
Spent on pounds and pence


I'm really that guy
I tell a man one time
I'm really that fly
Flying high
Way above these mother lovers
Peering down
Clocking all these blood suckers
Something seems bait now
All of a sudden
These suits tell me I'm great now
This feel like a shake down
I tell an executive
To put my flipping tape down
I wasn't born right now
Been around the block a few times
Got the know how
When it comes to the break down
Pick apart a contract
And dash it in their face now
I'm still here right now
Must have done a  few things right
From I touched down
Because it's grim when I look around
Grim when I see realities
Of man made pounds
Because money hungry struggles
Always got us seeing double
Always caught up in this trouble now
And it's money breaking homes
And it's money breaking bones
And it's money breaking people down
All this constant conflict
This topic of rhetoric
Got my stomach feeling sick now
Because they say that
Life ain't about money
But that seems funny
When you check it out
Because money got our backs
Flat against the wall
Climbing for life
We're still falling down
And ever day's a dice with death
Unless your born
With a silver spoon in your mouth
Man made democracy
Is based in hypocrisy
The poor stay poor now
Got to stop buying in to their game plan
My people
Lets wake up
Right now


It's amazing
How pieces of metal
And pieces of paper
Still conquer
It's absurd that the wool
Still tight on our eyes
While they pull off this caper
Keep chasing that paper
Exploit your neighbour
The corporate cogs turn round
Conservative and labour
Republicans and democrats
The corporates run these towns
Sickness and suffering
Conquest and warfare
The bombs still fall down
Capitalist philosophies
Now become prophecies
They got us on our knees now
Bullets burn
War pays
They ain't busy curing aids
They busy building tanks now
And if we take to the streets
For our piece of this piece
They going to strike
Bring the troops out
Long arm of the media
Make us think it's easier
To live life this way
Nothing comes of nothing
And you ain't getting nothing
Unless you out here getting paid 
Because freedom is relative
If you got the credit kid
If not kick that can
Because they took what they want
And they left
And they sold us
A dream of a different land
Now life ain't free
And nothing ain't fair game
Everything is name brand
So we stay star stuck
While we buy blindly
Into their money made game plan
But there'll always be another day
There's definitely a better way
Because mother nature still gives
If we put down the money
And we open our minds
We can save all our kids kids kids kids

Mind Notes Pt.29 'It Is What It Is'



It is what it is
SuperStead speak the truth
Rich and poor
Money rules
And the bills are proof
We all know the score
But we fix our gaze
So evil prevails
While we're counting the days

It is what it is
RILLA speak the truth
Rich and poor
Money rules
And the bills are proof
But man make the money
Money don't make the man
Stop doing what you want
And start doing what you can


SuperStead
Run up on the track 
Like a gorilla
Beating home truths on my chest
They call me RILLA
50 FEET DEEP
Shake the dead like thriller
Words penetrate minds
On the beats I'm a killer
Killing hate with love
Because knowledge is truth
The truth may hurt
But love is proof
We all human beings
And we all trying to eat
But many stars succumb
To a premature sleep
The road's uncertain
Only death is certain
Six degrees of separation
From person to person
Grandfathers
Fathers and sons
Mothers and daughters
We forsake all the gifts
That the universe brought us
Lost all trust
And lost all hope
We tied ourselves up in knots
And now we choke on the rope
They say ignorance is bliss
But can't see into abyss
Busy chasing paper money
While our souls are amiss


Get up
Stand up
Stand up for your rights man
Bob told me when I was young
I had to fight man
But fighting with the fists
Ain't like fighting with the pen
We not trying to make enemies
We're trying to make friends
We ain't cave men
Don't need to bump heads and fuss
Eyes were made to look
So there's no need to cuss
Because choices are tough
But we all get to choose
Will we fly
Will we die
Will we win
Will we loose
Blue, green or brown eyes
We all see the same
State of affairs
Then spin it round in our brain
We make our own ideas
Based on our own points of view
I might see the same view
But not perceive it like you
Hope my words get through
Hope I'm speaking in tune
Standing on the terra firma
Looking up at the moon
Because we're all under the sky
And we reside on the Earth
People need to recognise
What their loves are worth

Mind Notes Pt.28 'Modern Adaptation'






Open your eyes
And see the truth
It's right in front of you
It's not hard to understand
What are you going to do
Make the most of life
Roll with the situation
Adapt to your environment
Modern Adaptation

Open your eyes
And see the truth
It's right in front of you
It's not hard to understand
What are you going to do
Clarify perceptions
Never get it misconstrued
Stand up when it's time for action
It's time to move


I'm stuck inside these concepts
Of Jedi mind tricks
Trying to work out
Some of the glitches in this matrix
There's too many bypasses
And breaks in the circuits
That why I'm trying to keep it fluid
And flow like electric
Transmitting crystal clear
And cutting through the static
So you could get a taste
Of these amateur dramatics
Listen carefully
As I map out mad schematics
And try and follow the blueprints
To these verbal mathematics
This is not propaganda
It's just vocal consciousness
It's not up to me
If you decide
You want to follow this
I ain't got all the answers
Because I'm far from marvellous
It's just my point of view
And I'm right here
I'm sharing it
Too many walk the walk
But they really ain't wearing it
Trying to talk the talk
But they're really talking...
Twisted perceptions
Got them thinking
That they're cool and hip
But they ain't changing nothing
They're just rolling
With the rulership


Speaking in real tongues
With truths
You never heard before
Deep like greek mythology
Theseus and Minotaur
Chicken or the egg
Big bang and the dinosaurs
Analysing my culture
Surrounded by carnivores
   I'm trying to expand my experience
And culture man
I want to socialise
And travel to some foreign lands
Forget the hatred
The governments and secret plans
I'm meeting brothers and sisters
Chilling on golden sands
Living natural
Experience the other side
At one with the elements
The sun
The moon
The tide
At one with mother nature
The Earth
The land
The sea
Living real real
Living righteously
Reading knowledge
Expanding my creativity
Thinking deeper thoughts
Away from negativity
Staying on point
Make the most of my abilities
Because my state of mind
Is strictly positivity

Mind Notes Pt.27 'Broken Rhymes 3'




Brains swirl
Mad scriptures prevail
Running with the lions
Trying to make it to Zion
Many planes  crash and burn
But through the sky we're still flying
Nothings free
We search for peace
But the powers keep lying
Flash from the smoke
While fires keep rising
Planet earth dying
From this human enterprising
Used and abused
And left feeling worthless
False respect
Leads to false purpose


Stark glares
Cut like tower blocks
Through skylines
Stark dares
Evil acts
Clinging to our lifelines
Serious risks
But people keep going back
Like a fiend dying for food
But yet he reach for the crack
Pressure simmer
And the voices just keep on calling
Hunger burning
And the bodies just keep on falling
It's a struggle every day
Just waking up in the morning
We just trying to stay alive
To see a new day dawning


To expose the facts
How long will it take
How long before truth reveals
What's real and fake
There's something bad in the air
And it's not the weather
Kinetic energy from movements
While we scramble for cheddar
Hop cracks in the street
Avoid the crack in the street
Hungry foes step on toes
Got to watch your feet
No respect
People ruthless
We fly through light years
Shed heavy tears
Realise our worst fears


Intelligence and technology
Keep advancing
Puppet masters pull strings
So puppets keep dancing
No unity community
Got to prove yourself
Because it's get or get got
In this system of wealth
So we function
On a dysfunctional level
The few control the truth
So they're not on our level
But we continue to endeavour
Until the end of our tether
Because we know we're not alone
And we can make it together


Reservations
About certain situations
Like fate of the nations
And tax inflations
Nerves wear thin
Like paper patience
Looking through the looking glass
We study the ancients
But no reparations
They keep dropping bombs
Keep passing laws 
So our freedoms are gone
It's a cold cut clear case
Of corruption
Don't believe the lies
Because these people keep bluffing


Coming up
With big expectations
But waiting in vain
Leads to frustrated nations
Some flee from train stations
Or locked in police stations
Some in tropical locations
Some are hospital patients
But we remain gracious
And keep the peace
But if our buttons get pushed
Then some release the beast
Because we're all human beings
And we're born to eat
We share the sun, moon & stars
And the air we breathe
