[Verse 1]
We don't need to leave the party early
We can skip stones we don't need the bus this time
We're a little bit lost but it don't concern me
There's no way that I could die
[Verse 2]
If I could just be patient
The seeds around me will sprout the ancient
I've been waiting for days now
Nobody around
She can't be found
Gravitating to the nearest intelligent sound
My chains unbound
But the light you shine is different
It's a mix of waves
What waves that burst of enchantment
But you got that darkness to you
That completes it
In my mind
You're not good for me either
So I'm dangling on the tether
The physical need
The frisky weather
The humble thought of us being together
Will this be better
I'm a slave to my eyes
You're bad for me
But, girl
I never claim to be wise
[Chorus]
And I know what the right decision is
But when you let me fantasise
It gets too much
Gets too much
For me to stick to it
So maybe we should let it slide
Just one more night
Before you send me home
Cause we can't do it again
But you know that we'll do it again
[Verse 3]
Trying to get back to loving love
Back then I couldn't get enough
A strong woman who removes boundaries from
Trust, no mistakes
If I'm in it, it's to win it
No excuses will be enough
Thank wisdom I learned to hide it
Sacrifice shit
Wasting the famous expressions of ancient
Moving to the sound of her graces
My thought
I hope she makes it
She's walked through the valley of Death
No regrets
Only memories of the poem she fell
If you ask me
I've been played too long
It helps me drop down
The fury in the song
I'm a misty mountain
I'm always standing tall
And if you know my rap
Then to you sir, so long
'Cause we want gold around
Just show it
Just show it
Just show it
[Chorus]
And I know what the right decision is
But when you let me fantasise
It gets too much
Gets too much
For me to stick to it
So maybe we should let it slide
Just one more night
Before you send me home
Cause we can't do it again
But you know that we'll do it again
[Outro]
What up, what up, what up and let's go
I felt it again and the feeling still grows
Black to the clarity and back to the melody

Misbehavin'

[Verse 1: PG]
We are a unity
But we ain't all the same man that's lunacy
Yet we all speak the same language fluently
It's positivity
And it's all that ever was and ever has to be
Now when they tell us to behave
Just turn the other way
Cause we crave to create
So we tend to misbehave
Don't be a slave to these chains
Be the bigger brain, state your claim
Never ever be afraid to be strange
We'll turn your feet to blubber
Turn up motherfucker
Sweeter than a sandwich with jelly and peanut butter
Now is the time yeah you know we got each other
Doing fine brother Don't think ‘bout being bothered
Slip and slide to the sound of these tight rhymes
And How was it for you makes it sound so sublime
Like sippin’ fine wine while we dive between the vines
Of the prodigal son and Equivocal J so let em blow your mind
[Verse 2: Equivocal]
Behold the Oneness, defrosting the numbness
Hip-Hop confronts us to better bits of dust stuff
So without further adieu
I commend you to ring the motherfucking ruckus
Let yourself loose, get in tune with the plan
Like the clan the fam came to upset the system
Sieving suggestive wisdom through the rhythm of our scribbling
So like shepard's of the wholeness
We're bold lovers sprinkling a soul touch
Over the efforts of the whole, Trust
The gift of living, forever be willing a vision for the misbehaving crew
Spliffing up the chilling with a sick strain it's true
Navigating something new through the meditative groove
And yo man the crowd looks in tune
And so I need to ask you…
How was it for YOU YOU YOU!!
[Chorus]
Listen, come undone
Back for your pleasure now we won’t be gone
Spill it, beats we crave
Bars you get, misbehave
Listen, come undone
Back for your pleasure now we won’t be gone
Spill it, beats we crave
Bars you get, misbehave
[Verse 3]
The key to success, as I was told
Is to make monotony your life goal
To celebrate conformity
Act different, you're the enemy
It’s this prophecy on which our system is grown
The hidden hatred came with it
The roaring silence strengthens it
Not speaking makes you an oppressor’s inhabitant
And I feel blessed that I don't have the stress that our sisters have felt
When i should feel furious
Anger at the justice systems mess
Brett Kavanaugh’s the example that fits best
And if I’m silent the enemy wants that
Brainwash those sparks no talking back
No thinking no hating you have to wear this mask
And that’s the starter pack of how the system holds us back
So you better start walking
And you better be behavin'
[Skit]
Tom: Yeah and then there’s a sample or something
Ro: Yeah something dope like maybe
Gandalf: YOU SHALL NOT PASS
Kit: What the fuck dude
[Verse 4]
Coming through with focus
My magnum opus, got me
Scanning my life with anxiety
Poking my head out to breathe
The duality of living my best life
Or if it’s living me
I had a vision
Dream of this situation where I stood taller
Dropped all aggravation
Backed by the mind of Einstein
I solve a maths equation in under 5 seconds
The weapon for me was my wit
Against your racists stints
Your hateful talk it really makes me cringe
The revolution is about to begin
The only question is
Which side will you be on
I’m on the right side im standing tall
And I mean that morally
I won’t stand by a side that praises bigotry
I won’t fall i won’t let you tear it
Cuz we got, cuz we got, cuz we got, cuz we got
Cuz we got, cuz we got, cuz we got, cuz we got
We got mad inspiration we got mad syncopation
We know equality's the only road to salvation
So you better start walking and you better be behavin’
[Chorus
Listen, come undone
Back for your pleasure now we won’t be gone
Spill it, beats we crave
Bars you get, misbehave
Listen, come undone
Back for your pleasure now we won’t be gone
Spill it, beats we crave
Bars you get, misbehave
Listen, come undone
Back for your pleasure now we won’t be gone
Spill it, beats we crave
Bars you get, misbehave
Listen, come undone
Back for your pleasure now we won’t be gone
Spill it, beats we crave
Bars you get, misbehave

Breathless

[Verse 1]
I wonder if she’s out there
Thinking of me
Thinking of her
Thinking of the day we meet
I’ll suspend this believe
Turn the key
Believing the future is bright for me
Hoping we’ll relate and pass the day
Seeing she was worth the wait
Her being perfect for my eyes
Emancipating my inner shine
Settling on the shares I’ve spent on wine
I find comfort and solitude
Romantically speaking, I feared that route
I’ve seen that road before
Two and half years right in my soul
I was adored, I loved back
But mental games was a power source
I can’t complain
I don’t wanna be that dude that craves for pain
But in those ways I’ve changed
And reclaimed my name
Moving forward, ever faster
The past was my beautiful disaster
So I wonder if she’s out there
Thinking of me
Cuz’ I’ve grown enough to finally be free
[Chorus]
Cause you leave me breathless
And I won’t deny
That I still imagine
You’ll end up in my life
I hope that I’m right
[Verse 2]
Thank you for making me feel this again
Two and a half years
Without a single butterfly for me to begin
With, the strength, the journey
I thought I was broken
Trembling as a connection, I was hoping
For a night of sharing the same music sensation
Making me feel inspiration
Pushing me off the edge of temptation
The patient is me
Impressed by the mysticism I see
I can hardly breathe
Your beauty entices me
But I mean that in double
You ask me a question
And I stutter and I stumble
Looking for the answer that’s humble
Looking for the answer that makes me seem wise
But with you
I wanna be true in your eyes
I wanna be me
I want you to see the reality
Because someone like you
Seems only fit for my dreams
But here you are
It was destiny
Let’s hold hands for this journey
Because you probably wanna live with me
[Chorus]
Cause you leave me breathless
And I won’t deny
That I still imagine
You’ll end up in my life
I hope that I’m right
[Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
Now I know I did wrong
But I’m trying to do right
All the games that we played
And now it’s all too much to hide
Were you ever in love
The way you felt back when
Now it’s time for you to realize
I’m never coming back again

Namibia

[Verse 1]
Where do I fit
Black nor white
By the special pavement I sit
Arms spread out
Words being spat open to doubt
I wanna be seen
I wanna be heard
But you all turn
As I make these walls holding me burn
This aggravating
All encapsulating
Mistaken push of guidance
Making me sit in silence
Causing the gun violence
White is right
The cornerstone that shapes us day and night
But in Namibia
We fear
We stay clear
Holding back from the things that we hold dear
But you speak to me
Words of overcaring
Sensational overthinking
Are you the one winning
The crime is remaining
Shackled by the light that feeds you lies
Keep looking up
And you will see the sky
But the sky is painted colours
Dissolve the matters unclear
The pure wings flutter
You see, you wanna soar to the sky
But when we get there
Our wings are too burnt to fly
So let's change the feathers
Make them metal
And let's fly better
Let's fill them with knowledge
Of who we are
Our root
Our anchors
Are never apart
Remember the soil that molded you
The life and the dunes for us to become true
Because I will stand by the mountains
And scream
From the dunes
[Verse 2]
Oh, we are born beautiful
Our skin is rich
And I will admit
I'll never depart from it
Cause I don't know where I fit
But my mind is aware
And you all run and stare
Never again will I stand in a corner
Watching the minority
Bringing dishonour in colour
Never again will I deny
My ability to shine
Bringing blinding light to feed your mind
Never again
Will I be untrue
I'll sleep by the mountains
And scream from the dunes
[Outro]
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho
Say ho

Reminiscent of the Days

[Verse 1]
Its the dreamathon
The costly fall
The trumpet song
The rythmic wand
The illest of the riches
And the never ending sing along
Past watches back
To the childish lunch pack
Listening to master flash
The peaceful craft attacks
And if I'm alone
You won't know it
If I'm flying high
Only appa flying
Only then
I can show it
I promise sparks
Cosmic stars
The warehouse theatre
Where my music starts
The man I was after
I fell short
And only then
Did I see my teacher
The boss around me
The rythmic boundaries
Never enough
Only then I found my surroundings
I knew
I was a creature of the night
Never enough to shine
I was untame dynamite
Now quicker than ever
I'm coming through
Coming through
Out of my demonic shelter
[Chorus]
Running through tornados
Battling my god
Falling through your words
And I don't answer to your call
Loving you is fatal
I'm pointing the blame
For all the ways you played me
Changed me, sent me up in flames
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I bless the sky
As I walk
My mother's prayers
Feeding the flock
I wonder if I do enough
Flavours inside me erupt
Enticed, baptised
The sum is factorised
One part courage
Two parts the fear
You better pretend to care
Three times I dare
My flare stare
Constantly mumbling
Hustling on the grind
Words translate to actions
When I try
Back to back
Melodies evolving through time
Words gave me my voice
I never had to try
Detail the play
The message is far away
I try dream the dream team
This is my endgame game play!
I won't fizzle away
Cuz I'm here today
And we're loving these ways
And thats how I feel
When I reminisce of the days
[Chorus]
Running through tornados
Battling my god
Falling through your words
And I don't answer to your call
Loving you is fatal
I'm pointing the blame
For all the ways you played me
Changed me, sent me up in flames
Running through tornados
Battling my god
Falling through your words
And I don't answer to your call
Loving you is fatal
I'm pointing the blame
For all the ways you played me
Changed me, sent me up in flames
