Mind Notes Pt.91 'Snap Crackle Pop'




Stay magical
Spin the snap crackle
And pop
It don't stop util we drop
It don't stop

Stay magical
Spin the snap crackle
And pop
Two turntables
And a Microphone
Drop

It don't stop util we drop
It don't stop
It don't stop
It don't stop


Roll with a band of Rapscallions 
Ride on the high seas
83rd battalion
Rainbow warriors 
Call for the peace makers
Sweet tooth sweet sweet boys
Call for the cake bakers
Never disillusioned
By illusions set in concrete
Catch me by the campfire
Running through the green trees
Let me out 
And let me breathe
I need more energy
Space for my spirit
Radiate to positivity
Freedom fighters
Where are the lighters
Lighting fires for
The peace and the justice
12 inch disks
I'm a student of this
Let me holla at you
My man
Ramble in the dark
Making art like a cave man
Come again Sam
With another something mystical
Rings around the carpet
Got me flying, something magical
Tell us that they've heard it all
But they ain't even head the half
Out da box an out da park
An we ain't even made a start 



Born in a age of confusion
Hi-tech answers 
 But we're still loosing
Cruising
Into the future
No regrets
What about the next generation
Ain't here yet
Oh well
No wishing wells for well wishers
Get going while the going is good
Or sleep fishes
Beware of deep ditches
Smell of death 
Got us reeling
Party like its last days
Bringing down the ceiling
Feeling 
There's something bigger
E.T. tendencies 
iPhone phone home 
Travel through the galaxies
Tell us all the recipes
Trying to hit the jackpot
Success breeds enemies
They're trying to grab the whole lot
Hot spot 
Give us the codes to go surfing
Wifi
Give us the means to start learning
Still we take earnings
An dig for black plastic
Snap crackle pop-tastic
Stay classic


PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.90 '7's In The Backpack'




Play it for me
One time
Can I get a
Rewind
Wheel up
Wheel up
Run it back
Run it back
Run it back again


I'm old school way back
7's in the backpack
Grab the shades
And leave the snap back
Back at the pad
Trying to bring the summer back
Back with a plan
Im trying to run another track
Shift gears
Worzel Gummidge
Search through the records
Committed to the rummage
Digging through the archives
We got to pay homage
Got to stay honest
But we've got to stay on it
They say I should of got the Guinness
I should have got da Popeye
I should of got the spinach
I should of got the Olive Oil
I should of got the fitness
Could of had it all
Sold my soul for a gimmick
But forget that!
Forget 15 minutes
Forget in it to win it
Forget the mirror and the image
Keep it real
Keep in touch with my spirit
I'm seeing untold limits
Seeing art through lyrics
Seeing past these critics
Avant-garde with these words
Painting pictures


We Prehistoric dinosaurs
Unearth the treasures
Got another gem in store
Release the pressure
Got to give a little more
Hopping over hurdles
Searching for them open doors
It's all love why we do it
Forget about da pennies
We focus on the music
Forget about hype talk
We focus on the movement
Music in our souls
So our hearts could never loose it
They say I should of made it catchy
Should of made it mainstream
I should of made it flashy
Should of had a gold chain
Posing by a Ferrari
Should of fooled them all
With a fairytale story
But forget that!
Forget 15 minutes
Forget in it to win it
Forget the mirror and the image
Keep it real
Keep in touch with my spirit
I'm seeing untold limits
Seeing art through lyrics
Seeing past these critics
Avant-garde with these words
Painting pictures

Mind Notes Pt.89 'How'



How did it come to this?
How did it get
So hard to live?
How did it all fall down
And come to this?


Feel like I got post traumatic stress
Surrounded by gorillas
And they're beating on their chest
Swinging through the jungle
Trying find a place that's bless
But there's no sight of a clearing
So I'm wondering whats next
Trying to second guess
But the walls ain't got no writing
Trying see a different view
An end to all this fighting
Trying to see my happiness
For what it's really worth
See times arrow flying
One time on this earth
One time from the birth
To pick apart the space fabric
Praise dead stars
Gave birth to this planet
Praise to my mother
I was raised on this planet
But we owe it all to gravity
The invisible magic
Theres too much war on this planet
Too many hungry bellies
Poor on this planet
I pour my heart out
Heartbreak on this planet
Because I know there could be
A better way on this planet


I'm always looking at it different
And I'm looking for
Who's looking at it different
An I'm watching who's out 
Chasing for the riches
And when the worm turns
They still beg forgiveness
Evil manifests on levels
Some are desperate 
Some are just devils
Some will turn a blind eye
It's incredible
Another massacre
Another convertible
How we end up in this big mess
Now we trapped in this fish net
Navigate through wifi
Pond getting smaller
Now we start to see
There should be 7 billion ballers
Because the earth has got resources
They should be yours an mine
Instead they're buying porches
They tell us get in line
You might just make a fortune
Better off go play the lotto
Buy a horseshoe

Mind Notes Pt.88 'Another Moment'





Never doubt it
Still be about it
Love for this music
Never be without it
Climb to the roof top
Stand up and shout it
Speak for my people
Stand and be counted

Never doubt it
Still be about it
Love for this music
Never be without it
Climb to the roof top
Stand up and shout it
Peace Manifesto
Stand and be counted


Another hiphop moment
The vibe of the track
Feels classical don't it
Old school
Like watching kickers
Shelly's shop window
No loot for them rhythm blues
I got the bag though
1 9 0 bus pass
We let da bus pass
Trample down the Thames
Adventures on the way to class
I had the last laugh
Because haters always hate
They was busy watching
I was busy watching grades
Then off home to play
Pedal bike
Go link Jordan
Best to bring your bike up
Man are out thieving
Put it in the hallway
Settle for the evening
Mums in the kitchen
Everybody's eating
Musical meetings
Power up the keyboard
Down for the cause
100 we on board
Train of thought
Play for sport
Who's counting
Give me a rhythm and a beat
And I'm about it

Another hard knock memory
It's bin a few years
Since my quarter of a century
It's been a few years
Since I went and got the energy
I wrote about a million rhymes
I've always got the pen with me
Now its touch type
iPhone six
Make notes of mind notes
On iPhone riffs
With the iPhone kids
But I still got them cassette tapes
Catalogue them vinyls
Holding up them late greats
Finish up my whole plate
Nothing is for granted
Came and I saw
Never left what I started
Came from the garden
Of nature to nurture
Grown through this music
We sing to the future
No regrets
No doubts in my head
Put my life on my word
You could check what I said
Run it back and come again
I still speak for my people
Eyes wide open
Equal is equal

Mind Notes Pt.87 'Dragooned'




It's more pressure now
We have been dragooned
Into living on stolen lands
But the Earth belongs to all of us
Recognise we're all equal
We're all one people
We need more peace
More love
More people power!


More Pressure now
More pressure now
More pressure now
More pressure now
PRESSURE!


Im a self critic
On some other other ones
Wonder will they get it
Will they feel
The love and pain
Will they really feel it
Because if your born in to the struggle
 Then you really in it
On another another one again
So terrific
Tapping into my psyche
Let the music lift it
Break it down to the elements
Getting scientific
Only 3 or 4 minutes
Until the track finish
Wavelengths futuristic
Break it down to 3D
Incase you might of missed it
Make it make sense
Trying to make it realistic
Nothing in between the lines
 Never get it twisted
We're unique
Everybody's got wishes
Given half a chance
We'd all be gifted
It's high time
That we really all insisted
Freedom is a right
Not a dream
Or a privilege 


I'm an optimist
Pain an trouble
In the world
We've got to change this
Pull a couple chapters
Out the history books pages
 All full of haters
 Time to rearrange this
No love
For the fascists
And the racists
They judge our people
By the colours of their faces
 Tell them all
A thing or two
And put them in their places
Send them all packing
And the haters
 That they came with
Trying to reach glass elevators
Top spot
Top speed
Accelerator
Top man
Top dog
Top instigator
But still searching for our souls
No navigator
Heart's always the hardest
Its a heart breaker
Cant all be the smartest
Be a mark maker
Still working our hardest
On the long acre
Gotta eat to survive
Now that's a deal breaker





PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
