Mind Notes Pt.55 'Another One'

It's another one
And another one
Finger thumb strum
Let the strings run
It's another one
And another one
Hear the high hat
Feel the kick drum

Kick my feet up out the bed

Look I'm on another one

I'm about to start a new day

And chase another one

Time keeps ticking on

We're always on the clock

And my brain don't stop

Because the game don't stop

Wake up and open shop

What you offering today

Me, I got a couple flows

I got something to say

I've been, watching my ways

And watching people around me

So I know a few things

About the game around me

Got my name around me

Got good people around me

But when I wake

I see this concrete jungle around me

My thoughts surround me

With majestic movements

High entropy

So the elements are moving

I keep using

This natural mystic

Some call me a rebel

Others call me a misfit

But who the shoe fits

Shall wear it so

So if you don't
Then you don't

But if you know
Then you know

I can't stop

I wont stop

Until the day I drop

Because mummy taught me
What was what

So even though the streets hot

I'm trying to stay cool

No fool
I kick knowledge

To the youngsters in the school

I know the rules

I see the game
Is fixed from the start

Overstand the situation

So I follow my heart

As I embark on my journey

Through the light and the dark

Leaving my legendary legacy

Before I depart

The family tree is shaking

The leaves are falling down

So we need to find some sanity

Before we fall down

Because it's wild in the wilderness

It's wild in the town

Busy winning
Busy loosing

Busy bodies running around

So for now it's elementary

Dear Watson
Please hear me

We all strive to live life

We all strive to be free

If we look
Then we see

That we all
Can be free

All we need is unity
We're all one family

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.54 'Smell The Roses'

Drag myself
Up from the dirt

Escape from the pain
Escape from the hurt

Kicking my feet
To stay above water

Trying my best
To stay off the kerbs

No funfair
The game's absurd

Stuck in the trap
Or nine to five work

Trying my best
To keep it legit

But it's hard to survive
On the wages we earn

Sometimes
I feel kind of old

The game's to be sold
And not to be told

I keep telling truths
But I keep hearing lies

And I keep seeing the rise
Of the price of the gold

No dilly dally
I follow the road home

Keep my eyes peeled
Because hearts remain cold

No flat foot
I stay on my tip toes

Collecting my numbers
To break the codes

Soul searching
We draw breaths

Some crash and burn
And draw last breaths

Some long lost
Some still here

Some hold hate
Some hold fear

Some hold hope
Some left holding a rope

I'll never choke on a rope
I keep climbing

Higher and higher
My goal's to inspire

Keep peace in my mind
My love fuels the fire

Since a kid
I clocked all the angles

Sweet sounds moving
Like my godmother's bangles

Brains get mangled
By the machine

But please keep an open mind
Things are not what they seem

People try and live the dream
But the price is high

We can point to the sky
We can wonder why

Because there's you
There's I
There's yours
There's mine

But everything is ours
If we open our minds

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.53 'Bars Full Of Roses'

We blossom and bloom
Pretty like flowers

Pushing peace, love
And people power

Because that's the word of the minute
The word of the hour

I rise with the sun
And recharge my powers

Just a child
Of the universe

Scoping the cosmos
Writing it down in verse

Talking about things that hurt
And other things that are worse

Talking about things that are good
Showing and proving my worth

So let it spin
For a minute

We push good vibes
And we're right up in it

We roll until the finish
Until the steam runs out

Then we breathe and stop
Let the beats bang out

Create cyphers
Expand like the universe

Making sound waves
Shaking and rocking the Earth

Thinking and making it work
Speaking for freedom

Speak for the lovers
Speak for believers

I was raised
In the jungle

Concrete buildings
Beginnings were humble

Certain times
When my belly would rumble

I knew I had to stand tall
Make it through the struggle

My mind wonders
Call me a dreamer

Call me an optimist
A love believer

I'm an achiever
Self motivation

Self made man
I'm a man of the nation

Mixed heritage
My outlook mixed

I can sit on the fence
Avoid all the tricks

I don't choose sides
Because my side is love

I respect mother nature
The forces above

Might not get love
But show love regardless

Plant seeds of wisdom
Grow in the garden

Please beg my pardon
Repeating my rhymes

Peace Love and People Power
Every time

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.52 'Still SUPER'

From RockSteady
To SuperStead
From day one
Real rap

 The Lyons still roaring
Still here
Bringing the love back

Trying to bring some peace back
For everyone across the map

Uniting people world wide
People Power's where it's at

Might say I'm too serious
When you hear me speaking truths

But the truth be told
You've got to be careful
About the words you choose

You've got to be careful
About the things you say
And the things you do

Life gets sticky
Stuck like stickle bricks
In superglue

Stand tall
Don't fall
Got to reach the top
We keep on climbing higher

I pledge to tell the truth
And speak the truth
Never a liar

People tell me
That life's messed up
That fuels my fire

I'm trying
To push this vision of beauty
Through barbed wire 

So I do this thing anyway I can
Because the time is now

And when it's time
To meet the reaper
I'm not backing down

Because I represent family
Worldwide
The whole Earth

Represent my solar system
Represent my universe

Ride for my city
Ride for my team

Keep the loved one's close
Sidestep the scene

Mean faces get lean
The streets are far from clean

Fiends on the block
Things are not what they seem

Am I awake
Or am I really dreaming

Because it's seeming
That this world
That's spinning around
Is full of demons

Disbelieving that these heathens
Took our land and let us die

Gunpowder power rules
Money making alibis

So I stay like sellotape
Stick to my people
Keep it local

Keep on learning
Keep on thinking
Keep the peace
Through words and vocals

The universe don't make mistakes
That's why we're all here

We've got to feel grateful
Every year's a good year

Overstand that hate
Is always hand in hand with fear

So we rap it up with love
And watch it disappear

The pen becomes the sword
And knowledge is the key

The powers in the people
We can set us free!

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.51 'World Love Us'

If we love the world
Would she love us back
If we didn't love
Would she still love us
If we weren't sisters
And If we weren't brothers
Would she still love us
World, would you still love us

I love the world
She loves me back

She's always got my back
Because I'm spinning on her back

Born as the earth sign
Earth's where I'm residing at

London town
Put a pin right upon the world map

See I came
From the bottom up

And the aim
Was to never ever get stuck

Never tempt fate
Never push bad luck

Never mind
Bad mind minds
Never get struck

So I'm sticking
To the mission

But I still try and find time
To hear birds singing

I still try and find time
To stop
Look and listen

And I still try and find time
To count all my blessings

Because I've learnt
Many lessons

Coming up
On this spinning rock
Second guessing

Looking back
Reminiscing and recollecting

Searching the stars
For the dots connecting

Fighting for freedom
I've got to believe

We'll make it man
Beautiful struggle
We travel across the mother land
I'm breaking bread

And shaking hands
And making bigger plans
I recognise
That life's about the love
I overstand
Too many people busy earning
Scheming
Stacking grands
They're all about the profit
Never mind blood on their hands
Travelled through the trees
I see the wood

I see the clearing and
My eyes are wide open
So I choose
To stop and take a stand
So I stand tall

Left foot
Right foot
Always best foot forwards
The haters hate
But I keep it moving

Keep on looking forward
The plan is freedom over money
Always keep the faith
I keep the love
I got my mothers smile

My fathers face
So I'm in the race
Running on the wheel of time
Recording it in real time
Relating it through real rhymes
Hoping we can change these times
And help some people

Change their ways
No matter what has come before
We all can work for better days

Beat produced by Floyd Cheng

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.50 'Up Out Something'

Get up
Get out
Go and get something
Nothing comes of nothing
So we're always doing something
Get up
Get out
Go and get something
Go!

Get up
Get out
Get something
No fronting
No bluffing
No stunting
No gazing
No time for nothing nothing's
Keep hopping
Skipping
Jumping
Running to the finish line
Forget the Should-a
Would-a
Could-a
Live your life
Do it right
Do it nice
Do something
Because nothing comes of nothing
Unless the storm's brewing
Unless the fire's burning
Unless the wheels in motion
Unless we read the stars
Unless we travel oceans
Every action has a reaction
We're reading signs
Some mislead you
Some will guide you
Through these days and times
Clock chimes
Tick tock
Stick to the plan and never flop
Mystics reading mysteries
The tarot cards on table tops
Snap crackle pop
Early morning rumble
Then it's up and at em'
Another day up in this jungle
Another day up in this hustle
Progress is the only way
Forget about the other days
Wake up and live today


Success
What's the best
What's the worst
What's the tipping point
What's the flipping point
If your life doesn't have a point
So make a point
Make a stand
Make a choice
Make a plan
Seek and find
Adapt and change
Evolve in to a modern man
We can
Work a ting'
Or two
Or three
Or four
Or five
Or skip a few
Or maybe chase infinity
Unlock the holy trinity
Of love
Hate
And in between
Will dreams become realities
Or are we just playing make believe
House of cards
Stack them up and watch them fall
How high can we get
Before we loose it all
When we reach our final days
We'll look back at them all
We might be crying
Might be smiling
Did we give it our all
Did we play the fool
Or did we play the clever clogs
Did we live to reap rewards
Or live to pay the cost
Hopefully our minds awash
With nostalgia and golden memories
And our names
Are remembered through the centuries

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.49 'Purple Fire'

Like MJ Bad
Throwing on
My leather jacket

Purple walls
Purple rain
We make a purple racket

Third eye's open
Like Hendrix
Zoning out on guitar strings

And everybody's pleased to listen
When the Marley's sing

Iv'e been from rock bottom
Climbed the mountain
Fell again

But through the music
Found my strength
I kept on struggling

I kept on bustling
And making moves
With pen and pad

Working with the beats I had
Giving thanks
And feeling glad

Feeling sad
From time to time
But always fix my mind

Take control of thought process
All a state of mind

Another day in time
Through space and time
We levitate

Beats and rhymes resonate
The music lets us celebrate

Being alive
Being here
It's good to be me

As long as I can sing
And play my music freely

They say
A caged bird doesn't sing
But we're still winning

Whether hood blocks or tree tops
We're out here
We're still singing

From rock
To pop
To hiphop
I heard that

From Jazz
To soul
To funk
I was hearing that

From DnB
To jungle
Yea I heard that 

To 83classic
I was on smash

I been rap
I been putting my work in

Since 99'
50 FEET DEEP remained the movement

Still showing and proving
You can study my improvement

You can study my intentions
You can see I'm still doing it

Love over everything
We're singing praises

The universe remain the truth
While we search for phrases

While we travel through the ages
Of the cosmos

We stand right here
But some people are still lost

Some still pay the cost
And casualties still drop

Some choose honesty
While others busy plotting plots

But we know the truth
Of why we're here
We sing it loud

Peace Love and People Power
Right here
Right now!

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.48 'Wheels Fall Off'

Keep on riding
Keep on rolling
Keep on riding
Until the wheels fall off
Until it all falls down
Ride around my town singing

Ride the journey of life
Every single day
Nothing is promised
What can we we say
But ride
Ride
No time to waste
Tomorrow's not certain
So we live for today
But failing to plan
Is a plan to fail
You could end up buried
Or banged up in jail
You could end up bankrupt
House up for sale
You could end up cracked up
Smacked up as well
Reach in the well
Now their fishing for pennies
They should drink more water
But they just want Henny'
Gucci and Fendi
But what about food
What about 4 walls
A bed and a roof
What about love
Now what are we going to do
But keep on riding
Search for the truth
Search for the proof
That we know still exists
We're all one people
We're the universe kids


Do we take the high road
Or take the low road
Make the bait moves
Or keep it low pro
Because it's no joke
When the judge speaks
And it's life in the balance
If you run through the streets
Running from the heats
But longing for the sun
Longing for a pardon
Like a man on the run
Longing for a ceasefire
Put down the guns
But bombs still drop
And people get bun'
Where's the fun
Where's the next adventure
Hands go up
We count the contenders
More pressures
But we're down for the ride
It's a positive movement
Move inside
So we ride
Until the wheels fall off
Ride until the last breath
Ride until the last drop
Ride until the last spot
That we stand on this earth
Then it's back to the essence
The universe

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.47 'Done Deal'

We fell from the stars

To gas and electric bills

Cheap thrills

War on the front pages

Make us feel like

It's kill or be killed

Inform or plicate us

Take the red pill

Or the blue pill

They cashed in

Our free will

Sold us out

Now it's a done deal

Lean back

Another darjeeling

Never mind

Mad rats in da ceiling

Double up

Another jumper
No heating

Another day
Another debt

Whats the meaning

Another glare
Another stare

No greetings

Theres a tension in the air

Its a feeling

We're Hurt

And we need more healing

But all we see is

Wheeling and dealing

No compassion

Everybody's trying to cash in

Quick to follow fashion

The bandwagon a' rollin

Most left behind

A few chosen

Most left to die

A few golden

Justice is just

Wishful thinking

Where's the lifeboats

The ship's slowly sinking

Most dying of thirst

A few drinking

Some large as life

The rest shrinking

It's a done deal man

Gotta' keep it real man

We all know the deal man

All see the master plan

The men behind the curtains

Puppeteer hands

We all from the earth

An we know what's right

They stole our birthrights

Tell the rich man

We're human

This is our land

We should all be free

Keep on living

We have to keep giving

Never going to give in the fight

Finding freedom

Most never know

The true reasons

The truth hurts

The first cut's the deepest

Fear and consumption

Adds up to nothing

We must stand for something

We can't fall for anything

One day

We'll all know the meaning

Each one
Teach one

Time to start leading

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
