City Don't Change
03:17

High the cost of living cyber minds got the virus,
Wrapped up in a tight fist wireless
Buy n selling life screened on the eyelids
No light for the iris
But sky lives
still it changes the colour
Of these pages
between night and day
What remains are the reason we stay>
The sky changes colour but the city don’t change
Remove all the doubt like the clouds from the sun>
Under one sky we are one
Tumbling through life til the time comes
We rise up to that blue ocean above
Reminded that love
is the punchline>
can only try once to leave a mark in the dust
There is only us
Through the sun and the rain
The sky changes colour but the city don’t change
The city don’t change as the sky change colour
We easily forget we should love one another
Staring at the ground while the beauty’s above us
Trying to be found while we’re lost in our own dungeons
Lost in the function
As the systems we built now crumble
What remains is the faith that our struggle
isn’t in vain
As Winter change into summer

Together as One
03:30

I heard a saying once,
Two heads are better than one,
We come together and,
Dance in the sun,
I heard a saying once,
Two heads are better than one,
Lets come together and,
Rebuild everything as one.

Springs Eternal

Spark in ya eye so you throw fire.
Dark is the night.
Fire in the belly
Eyes wide you were born ready.
Sword heavy
Each step more legendary
You can turn on a penny
Stance steady as the earth move
Still your past buried
The stars covet your energy
You bear the mark of the heavenly
Hope on the road to the battle
See the foes like abattoir cattle
The dark shadows
Pierced by the Suns arrows,
Draw from the tarot
Harden the mind
Find courage in your bones marrow
Rise in your saddle
Meet the worst headfirst
The universe watches you travel
The clocks tick brings you to victory
The earth keep spinning
Birth of a new vision
The fire in your heart rise
Eyes fixed on the prize no ties to the past
Live to advance
Gifted this chance
True to your art form
When you move it's a dance
Spinning round in a vast storm
Steady as a mast in the wind
You have mastered your skin
Discipline drawn from within
This'll bring strength to the limbs
Stretch any length for the win.
Thoughts not of were you have been
Move to the future
Do what you gotta do
Hold up ya chin
Fire in ya belly
Bolder
Wild horses couldn’t hold ya.
Different form of the old you
You become something new
The goal is in view
Your aim true
Follow through from the beginning
The earth keep spinning
Birth of a new vision

You Revel In It
03:09
|

As the smoke on her lips played,
And drifted into space
The first light of the sun hit her smiling face
Arms stretched to find an embrace
His palm rests on her hip.
There’s no time to make haste.
Her body makes statements
Track his eyes path
She would share more pavement
He can help her to her home safe
To her own place
He pulls her close with his hand on her waist
And says her name
The spark of the flame
Just the start of the game
At the parting of ways
(Tiece)
You revel in it
The devil made you do it
There standing dum
Pointing at the one
That's gonna make your eyes run
Feel the rays of the sun’s
Kisses
Which way does your heart want
(Tiece)
Are you going or staying
Which way will your mind make up
Which side of your face will the sun hit when you wake up
Which fork in the road are you taking
(Rawz)
His head tilts to the side
Her light fills his eyes
So he closes em
Their minds move just a little bit closer
Closer to one
They both know whats to come,
Her lips taste like bubblegum
And his wine
And their paths intertwine
Framed by the colours of the sky
Love comes alive
The rays of the sun
shine
to turn darkness to day
At the parting of ways

One To My Two
03:17
|
|||
You, you're a part of me
It's You that cause my heart to beat
You're my spark in the darkness
In the dance you move my feet
And bring love from my past to me
From the first time we met
I couldn't even talk to you yet
Had to build up my strength
Compose my first sentence
You stayed there in my head
It's like I couldn't Tear myself from your presence >
You were there when I first played the drums on the table
Showed me a style to relate to
Tho I never stayed faithful
And you strayed too I could never hate you
I just played cool
Through the hard times you showed me the truth
We set fire to the roof
You Brought bap to my boom
The sun to my moon
You’re the 1 to my 2
Now look how we grew together
You kept me warm in the coldest weather
Just for that I'm yours forever
You brought gifts no bar can measure
Absorbed my devils
I feel sure when I talk to you
I just call on you
An your there when im feeling blue
This plans never falling through
Its all for you
You set me free

Salt Over Your Shoulder
02:28
|

I don't walk under ladders always keep a rabbits foot to hand,
So how the devil always messin Wi my plans?
Strange habits,
believing things we don't understand to
avoid the bad bits
We Try to Weave magic
In the car there's a lucky charm hangin
To stop the breaks jammin
As I swerve through the traffic
ask the magpie how his fam is
Align the planets >
And find signs of what's gonna happen
time flys an it follows prerecorded patterns
in my minds eye
touch wood so ill never die
an if i do ill rise
to the spirit in the sky
to sit by his side
cos a priest wouldnt lie
its alright if i tell him all the bad things i did with my life
and heed his advice
try pleasing the dice

If a bird lost its wings would it still try an fly?
If you cut of my hands could I reach for the sky?
Imagine dreams aren't a lie,
And life,
Is all in our minds,
Would you 9 to 5 nose to the grind?
Or would you wander the wide>
Blue yonder to find all the blessings that you long for,
Beyond the stresses and the locked doors,
and contours,
Pause ponder this thought,
Imagine all the people living for the world>
No need for a prison,
No countries an no religion,
You may say that I’m trippin,
But I’m not alone in the vision,
The tribe listen when I drop a poem,
I can tell cos the vibe different,
The wise see the mistakes,
of another,
and pass the knowledge to his sisters and his brothers,
Some eyes to big for the cake,
Watch em break

Pleasure X Sorrow
04:51
|
|||
The worry gets better tomorrow
Treasure these lessons you borrow don't
Measure the pleasure with sorrow
Sever the tentacles holding you back
Roll up the slack
An use it to climb up the stack
Find what you lack its intriguing to put yourself under attack
Cos your feeding your mind
Leading the pack
Seek for the meaning of facts
Obstacles dealing with that
Perceive what your demons attract
Open ya optical
Snap ya synaptic receptacles
All you could ask for is plentiful
All is for you and it’s beautiful
All I can do if you do it too
All we can do is just move
We can fly high as the moon
We can fly high as we choose if we’re two
Working as one
Strength of the Earth and the Sun
A daughter give birth to a mum
A mother a son
A son is a dad to a daughter and so we begun
An so it goes on
Till the last tale is spun
When everything add up to none
All that you do is for fun
So let it be better tomorrow don't
Measure the pleasure with sorrow
