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!

Mind Notes Pt.2 'It's You'

When love takes hold

Heart's skip to the beat

Minds swirl back and forth

Like waves in the beach

Better to have loved and lost

Than never loved at all

But no one really knows

Until they've been through it all

Romantic memories

Flashbacks of love

Soul mates drawn together

By the powers above

Was it just coincidence

Or causality

Or was it fate

That brought you to the arms of me

Stolen kisses fade into history

But still remain

In the banks of our memories

We forge legacies

Deep in hearts and minds

Try hold on to thoughts

But never enough time

Some say the window to the soul

Is found in the eyes

So we're looking at each other

Breaking down the disguise

Keep secrets

Bite tongues

Stories untold

Every day we learn lessons

As our lives unfold

Rain pours hard

Colours turn light to dark

Nerves tremble as we speak

Pour out our hearts

Whether during daytime

Or late night in the dark

Conflicts of interest

Anytime drama can start

The line between love and hate

Is real fine

So sometimes

We can't make up our mind

Sometimes I can't live with you

But I cant live without you

I feel like I trust you

But sometimes I doubt you

I know your ins and outs

You know my ups and downs

I couldn't find another like you

In any other town

We share stories

About the good and bad

Things we've done

We had a few close shaves

But we had a lot of fun

Words drift like vapours

Thoughts evaporate

Try catch our minds eye

But were always too late

Because time always flies

When your busy having fun

Not sure where it ends

But just glad it begun

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!

This blog is a record of my musical magical classical journey.

I have given everything to the music.

I have put my heart and soul into it.

It has guided me throughout my life relentlessly.

It has always been there for me.

Regardless of what happens in life,

music has always carried me along with good vibrations.

Thank you to everyone I have ever collaborated creatively with.

Every lyric, every song, every jam, every session, every gig and every adventure has been a blessing and a gift.

I'm thankful for all the amazing experiences throughout the years and I plan to have many many more for as long as I'm able.

I truly believe that music is the international language of love.

I hope these words, poems, rhymes, lyrics, demo's, live jams, acoustic jams and videos entertain and inspire people from all walks of life, from all places, from all races, religions and cultures.

Please excuse the sound quality of my recordings as many of these songs were never fully finished, mixed, mastered or released however I wanted to share them regardless as a record of all the days, nights, weeks, months and years I have been writing, collaborating, performing and creating music. 

My music is varied and ever changing, but one thing will always remain constant and that is my message to everyone everywhere:

"Learn More - Teach More - Love More - Stop War"

"PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER"

'P.S.A. Remix'

My name is SUPER

S to the U P

E R

S T E A D

I guess even back then

You could call me

Rocksteady

Because I was born ready

Fresh out the frying pan

Into the fire

Spitting home truths

So the people inspire

I'm hotter than them chart toppers

Playing the game

So on the underground

Real people saying my name

They're like

SUPER

Not a fake MC

Similar to a prophet

I speak on real topics

I kick knowledge

Revolution reflector

Always up early

Always finish my breakfast

So that's what I'm going to do

Take you back to the truth

Because knowledge is the power

And we need to respect it

Twist up your ears

Listen up and check this

Because this is real life

Forget movie directors

Before I finish

Just let me say

I'm not here to show off

And I'm not here to play

Because to tell you the truth

When I leave here I'm gone

But my lyrics still remain

On the bars of my songs

So I don't care

What people think about me

Because I stand for a bigger cause

Escape fake reality

So when it hits the fan

And your'e looking back

Remember SUPER

Never told no lies to you Jack!

Man I don't lie

And these home truths

Always make me feel to cry

I'm like Che Guevara

Crossed with Bob Marley

Revolution music

We the people's army

By any means

I always stay on form

So grab your umbrella

While I drop a brainstorm

And you can blame me

But I didn't invent the game

I'm just talking about

Things that's in my brain

And you can blame the environment

But there ain't no reason

Why we should all be living this way

In a world where they use us

And they abuse us

People still suffering every day

No matter where you go

We are what we are

We all from the universe

We all from the stars

And we could all live

Like kings on thrones

So will you join me

Or leave me alone

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
