Mind Notes Pt.74 'Kings'





We're trying to meditate and elevate
We're trying to open up our minds
And we could live like...

Another day in paradise
We're sitting pretty
Life's a killer
But I love it in my city
It's a paradox
We're always trying to break the box
Pick the locks
And make it to the top
We could live like kings


Now you see me
Now you don't
True we move like butterfly
Let the beat float
Sun come out
We out to rock shows
In the winter
Stack more tracks on the low
Know how it goes
And it just gets liver
Born survivor
Trample through fire
Life on the wire
Wrong foot missing
Me slipping
Never that
Tripping
Three decades deep
In the game of life
Where no two days the same
Uphold my name
In a world full of blame
Maintain the love
In a world full of pain
Hop jet planes
Because the world is amazing
Then back to the city
Where the beats stay blazing
Back to the belly of the beast
No gazing
Back to the bars
Because the bar need's raising


Came from the bottom
Up to the summit
Peer back down
And try not to plummet
Out here to run it
Like Usain Bolt
Jamaica Jamaica
We out of control
Land of my father
With luck of the Irish
Mum came through
From the emerald island
Linked in the city
With the perfect timing
Nine months later
I'm shining
Little mixed boy
Up in the mix
Getting up to all sorts
Up to all tricks
Clocked the ball tricks
And banged the drum kit
Kidnapped my pen
And ran away with it
Now bars come out
On a daily basis
No time for long tings'
Skip that stasis
No time for long talk
Facebook status
Just write them bars
And rock them stages

Mind Notes Pt.73 'Dream'




Dream
We go to sleep 
And then we...
Dream
We wake up
And then we...
Dream
We go to sleep 
And then we...
We wake up
And then we...
We go to sleep 
And then we...
Dream


I'm waking up
Another day
Man am I feeling this
Because every day's another struggle
Trying to deal with it
The snakes and serpents
Slither around
I'm feeling feverish
The temperature stays hot
On the roads
That's where the drama is
Holla back
Get the dollar back
We get it in
Everybody say that they're good
But they're grinding
Everybody say that it's hood
When they're shining
Because man get crooked and creased
Forget the ironing
Hazy escape
Smoke vapour
Liquor bottles drip
Trying to make something
Out of nothing
Trying to make it quick
Trying to make a little
Out of something
Make the numbers fit
Trying to make
The pence make sense
That's what we're dealing with
I'm from the clan of the Lyons
Slaves and survivors man
My ancestors had to fight
They had a different plan
So now I'm feeling free
I'm living as a free man
But freedom is a state of mind
We overstand the game plan


Flashes of visions
Better days an dream lands
I'm dreaming dreams
Trying to dream away the pain man
I'm thinking finer thoughts 
Of better ways and better plans
The mind keeps turning like a wheel
Spinning to neverland
Fairytales an fables
The future is unwritten
History's  in the print
But the truths remain hidden
Wealth of information
But the relevance is missing
So it's one day at a time
But the time is always ticking
Trying to make a difference
But will people really listen
Because they're clocking television
Locked up in a prison
Some hugging and kissing
Others fight to the death
Might win the right fight
But in the end what's left
So pick a peck of knowledge
Spin it around
Let it simmer
In a world full of sinners
We're all trying to be winners
Trying to figure out da figures
Make the ends meet up
So we sleep
And we dream
And we try wake up


Thoughts up in vapour
Rising through the ether
Dreaming through the days
At night we deep sleeper
Secret reacher
The mind span deeper
Meet the dream merchant
Purchase a keeper
Weird tangents
Strange situations
Erratic Brainwaves
The thought process hasten
Virtues of patience
Theories remain ancient
Questioning the questions
But answers remain latent
It's blatant
This go get philosophy
Has got us dreaming different dreams
And got us scheming different schemes
Stuck inside the dream machine
So things ain't what they really seem
Sparks from da culture shocks
We gotta stop
And check the scene
Some are keen
Others struggle with their conscience
Some reach the line
Others don't go the distance
But what's the difference
It's all psychology
So
D
R
E
A
M
With me

Mind Notes Pt.72 'Raving Crew'




He said
She said
Let's go raving
Paint the town red
Out misbehaving
Glad rags on the pavement
Everybody trying to move through
Impatient


He said
She said
Let's go raving
Paint the town red
Out misbehaving
But the door man's impatient
Should of got a guest list
Blatant!


The hype all start
From Friday morning
As soon as work done
Here come the weekend
One2One 
All the phones start ringing
Everybody talking
About the spot for the evening
Sinting
Big tings' a gwan
When night fall
Come with the cognac
Come with the rum
Come with the pre drinks
Come with the glad rags
Boys with they fresh fades
Girls with they new bags
He's got a record bag
Must be a DJ
Can I get a little squeeze
V.I.P. mate
Because frankly
I don't fancy the look
On the bouncers face
And the queues a disgrace
Nothing ventured
And nothing gained
You could win some
Or loose some
Out in the rain
We all still game
To pay the price Sunday
Chin wag Monday
Roll on Friday


The DJ picked the set from morning
Now we all wait
Until it reach the evening
Turn up
With my trainers gleaming
My trim looks cris
From the light on the ceiling
Chandelier
To the bar for a beer
Might as well
Get two while I'm there
Who's on stage
We never fear
Because we're already feeling
The vibe up in here
Put your lighters up in here
For the true pioneers
Two step up in here
Rudeboys up in here
More love up in here
A bubbling ting'
A skanking ting'
A jungle ting'
A garage and a grime
It's a London ting'
It's a reggae vibration
Ital ting'
A whistle and a horn
It's a ravers ting
No ego
We go
Wheel up the ting'
Tell the DJ
Wheel up the ting'

Mind Notes Pt.71 'Love To Love This'




Skank
Bubble
Get down low
Get down
With the bars full of roses
Throw your hands up
Jump up
We get high
Because you know
That we love to love this


It's that time again
Bars full of roses
Running through your mind again
Down another Heineken
And hit the dance floor
Because we always give more
When the crowd shout
More
More love
More vibes
We all on the wagon
We all down to ride
We all down to get live
And feel the mystic
So run it back again
Because my people feel it
Feel the positive energy
Lean up on the speaker
The bass run through me
This music moves me
Moves my soul
Stir up my senses
The bass line flow
And kick drum bang
We skank and get low
We tear off the roof
It's open air show
Please get to know
Because it's bars full of roses
Truth
Knowledge
And freedom
We love to love this 


All day long
All day long
We up in the cypher
With the beats and the songs
We keep rolling on
We keep rolling round'
Heartbeat keep beating
To the bouncing sound
Flip the reggae 
With the hip hop skank
I got 16 bars
Going out with a bang
So the beats keep banging
Until we blow the speakers
Show love
So the people
Always pleased to meet us
Here's my hand
Take it and shake it
Believe we can do things
Believe we can make it
Believe we can break it
The boundary of fear
If we open our minds
It's love right here
And now
For ever
And for ever
We've got to do whats better
We've got to do what's clever
So we use this music
To fuel the fire
Peace love
And people power
