Mind Notes Pt.69 'Some Day'




Some day
Some day
Some day
We gotta go
One day
One day
Eventually
We'll hit the road
Some day
Some day
I guess
Unless we try
We'll never know
One day
One day
 Any which way
We've got to go

Forget a gold chain
Our souls stay shining
Forget a headline
The stars are colliding
Forget da internet hype
We live in real life
But Still holding power
On da the low
Like them Jedi

Forget a gold chain
Our souls stay shining
Forget a headline
The stars are colliding
We all from mother nature
While we chase Father time
Never ending
Stories of da mind


I was taught it was rude 
To start bragging
What's in the wardrobe
What's in the cabinet
Say nothing
About all this bluffing
Huffing and puffing
Have a day off
Smarten up
We living in the light years
Liven up
All happens right here
All or nothing
To the moon and back
No back up plan
Just hit da road Jack
Hit da road jack
Back pack
Full of books
And a head
Full of dreams
Life ain't what it seems
Seems like the worlds
On the road to Perdition
The kingdom's in ruins
They ruined our Dreams
Hit da road jack
Back pack 
With a map
In search of your Soul
No place to go 
Pocket with a hole 
And a whole lot to learn
They set the game
And we take the turns


I always knew 
It was more than just magic
How we're stitched up
In the universe fabric
Say something
The sound waves jumping
The Heart still Pumping
Large as life
Smarten up 
We're living in the light years
Liven up 
All happens right here
All or nothing
To the moon and back
No back up plan
Just hit da road Jack
Hit the road Jack
Beware the wrong turns 
They raise the stakes
And we feel the burn
They eat the cake
We work and we earn
They show no mercy
No concern
But We must believe
Theres still more to see
And we cant forget
We still need to dream
Life is short
And thats a fact
No looking back
Just hit the road Jack


We know 
We're born to cross to boarders
Born to be free
Not born to take orders
Say welcome
Arms wide open
Were all human
Lets agree 
Smarten up 
We're living in the light years
Liven up 
All happens right here
All or nothing
To the moon and back
No back up plan
Just hit da road Jack


PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.68 'Bubble'




Shake
Shake
Shuffle
Shuffle
We're just here to party
We just want to see you bubble

Shake
Shake
Shuffle
Shuffle
We don't want no trouble man
We're all about the bubble man


Straight out the gate
Guinness 40
St James' gate
Catch me if you can
The Pan Am man
The beats got me sky high
Like Peter Pan
Pick a paper pocket
Jack a note and drop it
Work run
Cut it
Pitch it
Paste it
Make arrangement
Now the work done
Make them
Shake them feathers
Check the plumage
All these Peacocks
Instead of chasing cheddar
Get together
When the beat drops
Road block
Big sound on the corner
White labels
Melody marauders
No boarders
From New York
Tokyo
Kingston
Dublin
Link up in London
Right back to samba
Rump shaking in Rio
Bass
Beat
And melody
Complete the magic trio
Born as a Lyons
But I'm taurus
Not a Leo
Catch me riffing
In the china shop
To something oriental


Straight off the bat
No second guess
Catch us where the music's at
Season up the beat
And stir it until its spicy
Twist it with a melody
So Everyting' Irie
Fist you put the work in
Get the paper
Then it's Game on
Trust me
I believe in everything
 I put my name on
Follow me 
We'll run around the world
And sing the same song
Everywhere we go 
The people know
Just where it came from
From da music
Came from the sound waves
From the block parties
Came from the same raves
From the street parades
We're celebrating sonically
Stand by our integrity
We make this music honestly
From the studios
To the live stage shows
From AKAI
To the pro tools audio
Used to be the radio
An now it's on TV show
Run it on the youtube
And we'll bubble to the beat bro

Mind Notes Pt.67 'Hoodie On The Corner'



They said he's just another hoodie
Standing up on the corner
And that's what they all sold ya'
Ghetto soldiers
But it ain't what it seems
He's trying to live out his dreams
And grow older
Grow older


Hoodie on the corner
BBC snapback
London go starter
If I had a Ferrari
Then I'd surely go faster
But I've got a blue oyster
Travelcard
Smarter
See I barley seen my father
And the more he got further
My heart got harder
But look
There was food up in da larder
So I couldn't be a martyr
And I had to go faster
Sticking to da script
Like a plaster
Too many tears here
Not enough laughter
All this disaster
Caught up in the saga
Blue lights flashing
On the bloodstained Prada
All these
Guns and the armour
Everyday palaver
Modern day drama
Forget da magna carter
Because the tax stay harder
Filling up the prisons
Until we bow to the masters


All black
Hoodie on the corner
Branded a problem
By reporters
But we're just doing
What they taught us
We're just doing
What they taught us
Ain't no hoodies getting stitched
In my hood
And when we're flashing the cash
They say its all good
So I can buy it
But I can't wear it with pride
Staring at me like a thug
When I'm outside
Snap back pulled low
Street culture
Women hugging their bags
Like I'm a vulture
But I keep it soldier
And flabbergast the critics
Chewing up tracks
Hubba bubba when I spit it
Bubble gum tip
Sunbeam origami
On a next trip
From my lip
No freudian slip
I premeditate
Rap for the cause
All love that we celebrate

Mind Notes Pt.66 'Still Be About It'




I still be about it
Still hang around it
Still rap about it
Still put my money 
Where my mouth is
When it counted
So many beats in da bank
Who's counting
On a next trip
Movie clips
Cinematic daydreaming
Kubrick
Space scenes
It seems 
Dreams and reality
Art imitates life
Wrong imitates right
Evil imitates light
So the good man fight
It's a trap
Growing up
Showing up 9 to 5
All these wars that we fight
We're just trying stay alive
Mankind 
Say it for the love of it
Say it two times
Never get enough of it
In the name of good music 
Represent
In company of good folks
Make our beds


Still be about it
Still on da wagon 
Hold tight
Still fighting
Youth slips away
Theres no fountain
Struggle through pitfalls
Climb the mountain
When the clock struck
Bank called
Letter was red
Beef start
Dust settle
One brother lay dead
Landlords want the rent
Better pay up
Or no TV
No food
No bed
No roof on your head
Man are feeling dread
Because we're left for dead
Hand to mouth
Grass roots
Get the loot
But we can we share things
Read more
We have to
Plan an prepare things
Mankind 
Say it for the love of it
Say it two times
Never get enough of it
In da name of good music 
Represent
In company of good folks
Make our beds

Mind Notes Pt.65 'Above Water'




Kicking my feet
To stay above water
Kicking my feet
Follow my forefathers
Kicking our feet
Came from the deep seas
Now we're stuck in the land
Of the concrete trees

Kicking my feet
To stay above water
Kicking my feet
Follow my forefathers
Kicking our feet
Somehow we survived
Now we're seeing all the signs
Freedom's in our mind


Little fish
Big cannons
We big fish
Pink salmon
Never get gutted like sushi
The haters clapping
Swimming up stream
Watch no face
Make it happen
Turn a cap back
Get lyrical
Inhale the essence
Breathe and get spiritual
Karma spins around
While we live
Through the physical
Wishing on the stars
Praying for a miracle
It's all visual
Living in the digital age
Turn a new page
Dealing with a new rage
Sharp like razor blades
The sting of real life
Slipping and we sliding
While we trying
To get it right
Trying to make it through the night
But the reaper's by the bedpost
Busy trying to steal your ghost
We're busy trying to make the most
Burnt like old toast
The terra firma's scorching
Ducking and we're diving
While the streets keep calling


We're always on the clock
The city never sleeps
GMT on the watch
Bright lights
It's a sight
People getting what they got
Some flying high
Others crash on da rock
Pipe
Dreams
Keeping money in the drawers
With the socks
Forget wall street crash
They are keeping it locked
Forget canaries
Flying around the wharf
Nest egg spot
They're making money
Off of our money
We know what's what
Can't catch me
Around the block no more
I'm a few years older
Now I know the score
I know its raw
The haters hate
The streets always watch
You trying to get on top
That's when it gets on top
Never been one
To follow the flock
Shepherds don't love sheep
They're trying to take what we got
Pence cant buy sense
Ain't sold in da shop
Hook
Line
And the sinker
The game's on lock

Mind Notes Pt.64 'Good Friends'




Only got good friends
Takes one to know one
All from the ends
True friends
You can truly depend
So I'm here in the ends
With a few good friends
Content

Only got good friends
Takes one to know one
All from the ends
True friends
Be there until the end
So I'm here in the ends
With a few good friends
Content


I been around for a minute
My pot's boiling
I know what's in it
And I know who's there 
When it finish
Because they were right there
Right from the beginning
I seen too many chameleons
Change colours
Jokers
Comedians
Fool me once 
Can't fool me twice
Too old to get wool 
Pulled over my eyes
So it's no surprise
I be chilling in the ends 
With the same good friends
I never beg friend
I know who to trust
Who's real until the end
Know who's got my back
Who's real to depend
I'm only as good 
As the company I'm keeping
Keep closed circles
Never caught sleeping
Never caught creeping
With curious cats
Stick with my team
We roll deep like dat


Look
I don't do politics
I got no time
To keep up
With party tricks
Because I say it how it is
And it's all real life
So it is
What it is
I've seen too many calamities
Money an pride
Quick tear up families
Shame shame
We all know your name
We got your number
We know your game
So whittle it down
To about a bakers dozen
My old school brothers
And my childhood cousins
Might not speak 
For week after week
But there's no love lost
They know I still love them
Made my mind up
Forged my allegiance
Stuck to my guns
Stayed true to my reasons
See that the meaning
Of friendship is trust
So raise up your cup
My friends
It's all love
