Mind Notes Pt.6 'Collective Karma'

It's karma collective

Collective karma

Make big music

And forget the drama

There's too much conflict

Guns and armour

So we embrace music

There's nothing we'd rather

It's karma collective

Collective karma

Make big music

And forget the drama

Music is a substance

That will never harm ya'

From brother to sister

Mother to father

Keep the peace green

Green peace

Karma collective

Cool calm and collected

We keep a cool perspective

Because this life is too hectic

We gone from way back old school

To new school metric

We gone from classic acoustics

To raw electrics

Things always change

When we least expect it

We vibe on real grooves

Grade A quantity

Real big music

Highest grade quality

Keys

Strings

Valves

And tones

We rock in instrumentals

Are tear microphones

Not strictly PC

But we're perfectly clear

We spread positivity

From far and near

Contemplating dreams

Hopes and fears

Good stories with smiles

Sad stories with tears

Even though it's second nature

For the hustle and bustle

Don't forget life's beauty

Because your caught in the struggle

We always irie

We steady stay vining

We ain't got no time

For no fussing and fighting

Forget all the business

Wheeling and dealing

Music's about life

And positive feelings

Beautiful things happen

When we use imagination

A little creativity

A little dedication

Music is the love of our lives

Not occupation

We're on a train of thought

Flying through train stations

Grab a ticket

Get on board

With an open mind

Because the more we explore

The more we find

Life's a game of snakes and ladders

With ups and downs

Forget money

Love should make the world go around

Life's fragile

Some people quick to abuse it

But we keep ourselves grounded

With soulful music

Forget life's distractions

The gossip and drama

We spread big love

And maintain peaceful karma

Everybody's living life

Under the same sun

We've been brothers and sisters

Since time begun

Yet we live life like strangers

Suspicion and caution

No communication

On the roads we be walking

We got love

If you got love for us

We keep the peace

Avoid the qualms and fuss

But if people start acting disrespectfully

Then we cant respect them collectively

We represent a positive

Collective conscience

We stand for the realness

Forget all the nonsense

Forget all the media

Publicity and sponsors

What really excites us

Is studios and concerts

Schemers and dreamers

Con merchants and chancers

You ask the wrong questions

And you get the wrong answers

Never forget

Why this music's created

It's strictly for the love

Keep the karma collective

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.5 'Haven't Been To Havant'

Everybody scream 

Ice cream

Ice cream

Tangents on the touchscreen

Everybody trying to catch a lean

Smile through gritted teeth

Whether broken or bleach clean

Bang beats behind doors

We're sick of the fake scene

Keep in closed circles

The cypher remains strong

Whether handling our business

Or working on rap songs

The links of the life chain

Could never be broken

Because too much knowledge is learned

But too much knowledge ain't spoken

Laughing and joking

Passing days

But we're making real moves

Surrounded by distractions

But in life you got to choose

Play or fold

Stop or go

Which turn will you take

Real or fake

Tempt fate

Which decision will you make

But we made the right choices

And stuck to our plans

Imagination manifested

In the palms of our hands

Karma collective

Styles eclectic

We keeping it hiphop

Old to the new

Keep it moving

No one knows when it stops

We at battle with the world

We at battle with the system

Can't be the next casualties

Can't be the next victims

People running around frantic

The situations manic

Thats why we in the lab

Studying melodies and semantics

Surrounded by panic

It's like the world has gone crazy

Can't see in front of our eyes

The situations hazy

People succumb to apathy

Pretend they living happily

Forget about the tragedies

And casualties

That's why we reflect our thoughts

In the truest forms

Represent for the youths

The old folks

And babies that are born

We make this music

To show how we feel

Ain't got the stress of business politics

Or record deals

So our spirits run free

We elevate on the track

He who feels it knows it

So we put it on wax

We keep the peace

Spread love

Always hope for the best

Take life as it comes

You never know what's next

BCUC clocking knowledge

Super bumped into Foz

Jamming with Jargon

Bowerdean

Realised how deep they was

Trains of thought

On southwest trains

Arrived in Havant

Met stalker

Hit the studio

We found the balance

Green Piece records

DnB

But the hip hop was felt

Sativa Cut Studios

Now the pot start to melt

Suffice and Stalker had history

Along with Silver-tongue 

Mad Hatter had the scriptures

But he had to hit and run

Semantics and Big G

Was deep in beats and bass drums

Super and MrGreen repping Richmond

From day one

Then in summer 06'

The mould start to fix

Late nights in Cowplain

Heavy up in the mix

Then in a moment of morning clarity

The collective was crowned

Everybody start to realise

The magic we found

Karma Collective was formed

For the love not wealth

It's clear to hear

Just stop for a minute

And listen yourself

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!!!

Mind Notes Pt.4 'Collective Karma Reprise'

Peace in the streets

Cool and calm

Keep perspective

Life's hectic

The scale of the struggle

Measured in metric

Electricity surges

Through acoustic electrics

Things change

Break boundaries

Circles eclectic

Sound waves

Oscillation

Keys

Valves

And tones

Modern day philosophies

Be muttered through microphones

We stay low

In the zones

EQ's peak

Beats bang

Dodge dodgy characters

On corners

And police in riot vans

Avoid scams

Con merchants

Misleaders

And false truths

Bureaucrat charities

Our pennies

Ain't fixing no church roofs

Credit cards 

Higher purchase

National debt

National stress

No one gets something

For nothing

We're trying to get it for less

Some feel blessed

Others feel the state of affairs

Is a mess

Under duress

To follow the system

Or face arrest

In this hustle and bustle

Daily struggle

Urban lifestyle

This life's wild

But it's beautiful

We still got to smile

Good vibes

No fighting

No wheeling and dealing

No bureaucracy or paperwork

It's straight positive feelings

Talent and dedication

Bars and hooks

Our occupation

Stay creating 

Innovating

Avoiding ones that be hating

Employ imagination

Build scene scapes

Words to pictures

Search for quality samples

Instead of searching for riches

Too many glitches

In weak minds

Closed eyes

And sleeping souls

Bad to worse

Downward spiral

Tomorrow's stories untold

We see life unfold

24/7

365

The will to survive

Depends if you value your life

Helicopter search lights

Suspects and crime scenes

The streets burn furnace hot

So we stay behind the scenes

By any means

We avoid ups and downs

Merry go rounds

Swings and roundabouts

Good with the bad

Smiles and frowns

On the underground

Soulful music keeps momentum

Forget distractions

Music's our lifeline

Soul intervention

Forget chasing dollars

We roll with musical scholars

The streets try and holla

But we stay with like mind followers

This city try and open it's wallet wide

And swallow us

Material goods

But it's all good

We rock relentless

Soul legends remain strong

Inspiration they lend us

Turn the old

Into the new beats

Rhymes

Flows

Stupendous

It's tremendous

How the music keeps wowing the fans

From classical orchestras

Hiphop

To rock bands

We all wave hands

Bang heads

Move as one

Common ground

A little glimpse of unity

Under the sun

Together and having fun

But on the streets there's no love

Ghetto politics and warfare

Everyday we spill blood

Thats why my people keep love

And represent positive energy

Embrace real people

And avoid potential enemies

Forget publicity

We're talking studios and concerts

People power

Through the speakers

Because we always keep it conscious

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

Mind Notes Pt.3 'The Deep End'

Iv'e slipped

Iv'e fallen

Into the deep end

No longer a child

I'm a man my friend

Got to go my own road

Find my own way

Cant pay attention

To what the haters say

Iv'e slipped

Iv'e fallen

Into the deep end

No longer a child

I'm a man my friend

Trying to make my own way

In this crazy world

Of tower blocks

And street lights

Diamonds and pearls

Too many people

Focusing on drama and hype

Not thinking about decisions

That affect their life

Thinking fast life

High life

Get it right now

But what happens when

All the hype dies down

Didn't plan for your future

Wishing someone told you

We're playing for keeps

This ain't a game of toy soldiers

Love

Health

Financial problems too

You never know

What could be the end of you

That's why I live for today

And I plan for tomorrow

But I could get caught slipping

Have to beg

Steal or borrow

You never know what life throws you

When It's your turn

So I expect the worst

Look for the good

Live and learn

Some sit hoping

It will be alright in the end

But the truth is

Nothing comes of nothing

My friend

Speculate to accumulate

Positive perceptions

Make proactive moves

In your life's direction

Every morning's another battle

And evening's another victory

They have a championship belt

The world vs me

And give one to every person

Who's trying their best

A little token to remind you

When your feeling stressed

That life's hard

But you can achieve amazing feats

And count yourself lucky

If you ain't a victim of the street

Because making bad decisions

Is a slippery slope

And once you reach the bottom

No one's going to throw you a rope

The only way is to climb

If you got the strength of character

Depends if your big in this life

Or just an amateur

You've got to have dedication

Frame of mind

Keep focused

Because the more you look

The more you'll find

That your best friend

And worst enemy is yourself

You could build up your life

Or destroy yourself

So whether you stuck in the books

Or the bottom of a glass

Take care of your life

Because it's your first and last

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
