Back ten millennia, before the fall of man Before the hordes of the tyrant god advanced Was a revolution, a mighty rebellion Seeking evolution with the symbol of Triskelion The system felt threatened; advancement's embedded In our spirits, so their method - shred up our soul's essence, Bound to a meteor, time and space ripped us apart Til we were hardly more than beating hearts Stuck in oblivion until we encounter the monks who represent The Order of Vikaas -- progressive development Lanterns flickered in the distance, Hooded forms approach and provide assistance To their cave to a crystal altar where they laid us And they began to chant a mantra meditating We are almost dead, hanging on by a thread of energy, Until we hear the Om and feel a burst of heat Oxygen returns I can finally breathe, relief Blood pumps to each extremity Now I'm in agony, I think they call it gravity. Dimension so heavy, acclimation distressing Monks cleanse our lenses, heal our bodies, Tame our senses, train our psychic defenses Adaptation complete, we have arrived Consciousness returned, our spirits revived! Our strength has returned, our rest was a blur Vitality's rising it's time to emerge From the cave to the light as in Plato's allegory, A crowd has gathered round to listen to the story They were downtrodden but hopeful yet So we asked people what they had grown to expect We were not the first of our kin to arrive, More came before us, dark agenda in mind On a mission to enslave the people of earth. Like they have for ages through the deep multiverse Strategically weakening bodies and minds Tempering hearts, spirits of humankind But the monks prophesied rebels from the skies Would rally resistance bringin the underground to life And the fact is we're gaining traction, Empowering the masses to liberating actions

At first I was a dragon as huge and bad as you can imagine Breathin fire from the sky, my very existence proof of magic A sneaky hunter invaded my cave while I was napping Truly a savage, opened the armor guarding my heart, ran it through with a javelin Began my journey on earth perched on a branch in the forest Tweeting my song til I turned to bones and those Became four paws on the ground, whiskers coalesced to a trunk I trumpeted and I stomped my own path through the grass until my last The hungry clumsy giant, inspired stories of Samson Eatin honey outta carcasses fighting with a jawbone in my hand and Then I was shaved and blinded, shackled in irons, enslaved and branded Then I tripped and fell through their temple beams and on their heads it landed Wife of an Iceni king, the Romans they took everything When he died they raped our three daughters right in front of my eyes But only after they beat me, left me bleeding So I took my only recourse, and led the troops in revolt It's time for you to awaken, sliding through time and space as we fly through imagination It's the method of operation of life and death's yin and yang and they call it reincarnation And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning, keeps turning now My music tamed the wildest beasts, But I didn't do it for the fame, my wife was deceased So I defied the gods and fought through Hades put that hell hound to sleep, brought her back with me But when I turned around she was an apparition - simple deific trickery! Mama cursed me, babies died, I'm certain If I sacrifice three other guys, My favorite son's life will be spared; fortune teller, I shared visions of Hope with sinful folk to gullible to know, I'ma cook their fat into soap, and tea cakes is where the blood goes yeah I'm Nat Turner - chains break; the slave's loose. We've paid dues Hack the plantation owner's face through like a grapefruit that sprays juice And hence forth, let's get more pitchforks Lit torches and show em what we pissed for! Writer, an author; I will Thoreau-ly Pond-er Walden 'n' all of nature beyond and document my responses. Grandeur Expansive, I'm plantin' seeds and I watch 'em grow ebb n flow; connected to the rhythm; civilly disobedient is how I'm livin It's time for you to awaken, sliding through time and space as we fly through imagination It's the method of operation of life and death's yin and yang and they call it reincarnation And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning, keeps turning now Flying high as you can see - the mighty reptilian But he's strong lazy and stingy and his pride ended up killin him Primal instinct, all the knowledge I need I got in me Access to a higher wisdom, networked to infinity Passion fulfills, but unchecked lust savagely kills When I won't listen to enough wisdom to outbalance my will If I can't live free I'd rather die, right now I will never cower to powers over me, I'll lead the mutiny! Hear the echoes of my love when I make the music of the spheres Defying judgment from above, cause it ain't no jury of my peers Use my ax to chop them up, boiled fat, I drained blood Cleaned it up all neat - and that soprano was so sweet! My revolt will resurrect quickly and manifest differently Next time I'm taking way more than 60 slave owners with me! Expeditions to nearby regions; I witness legions of heathens Passin' season of evenin's doin' hardly more than breathin'! It's time for you to awaken, sliding through time and space as we fly through imagination It's the method of operation of life and death's yin and yang and they call it reincarnation And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning And the cycle - keeps turning, keeps turning now

1-2-3-4... Hat brim low yeah I know where I'm going now Yeah life's a circus and I'm the best show in town Ring master, mic blaster, no sign of slowing down Cancelled shows, losing dough - at time's I's more like the clown But that's a rap now, it's in the past now Confusion and uncertainty, energy just not serving me Assaulting people verbally - Tigress! With the fire inside of nine lives, used five to find this State of tranquility, lyrical ability Physical agility and I just feel like killing beats Deshaun mode, I'm unstoppable Achieved goals, stole shows - got lots to go Past is my ladder, climbed here to rap master Adept emcee, songstress and stage smasher Cage blaster, decipher lines, free your mind Escape faster with this yoga rapster I'm a commodity, ain't nobody hot as me Just dollar signs to you fools, so you don't get no part of me Pardon me, if it's hard to see Why I won't let go of my artistry I make music start to finish, no industry interventions Mob orchestrates, grab my pen I get to diggin the rhythm I can't hold still for a minute, reminds me why I got in it To see my friends and fans grinnin - Love to see y'all grinnin man Beat make me wanna dance and sing Bob my head and tap my feet Clap my hands and start to swing (hey) Music is life so I dance to the melody Kinda funny how in my last verse I say "past is past", but yo the past hurts Something tugging at my mind as I write these words To convince myself I'll make it, at times I'm not sure Live like The Fool - will I ever mature? Some of it's still a blur, but I've learned - Strength, Endurance, Open body and mind, let my soul shine Realize that I've more power than delicate flowers: bloom and die Fragile, and dependent elements are just right Like the oak grove, I grow slow, stand tests of time. Expanding only after roots are planted No magic no gimmicks simply hard work learned from country livin I'm in it to win it, plans got my head spinnin Like Eps for Murs, on the business side of things Words lash from my lips like whips they burn and sting. I'm molting, evolving - whatever you wanna call it KriStyle 2.0. Old soul; Took the heat now I'm cold - I know that I'm coal Refining real slow, Upward spiral flow Look back blow kisses to the past then roll Like no worries, My biggest hurdle is me. Hop off stage like Girls please - Step up your intellect Rhyme and laugh, shake that ass til there's no more music left! Beat make me wanna dance and sing Bob my head and tap my feet Clap my hands and start to swing Music is life so I dance to the melody Ready to burst Kissing the edge Bring on the challenges I am the Architect

The time has come to seek a change within The word is out - you'll sink if you don't swim The truth is now - all other things are lies You have the pow'r to bring the beast to life And move - betta let me see ya move betta let me see ya - betta let me see ya move... I came here ready for war! I came here ready for the vict'ry beyond Show me a challenge that I cannot endure and I'ma laugh at ya Any opponent I see better be raw Ready to meddle with a hell of a god - I be the blast master The battle combatant matter of fact, for that matter I work harder, rap badder and scrap faster I be the one, the beast who freely runs To lead the hunt so we can feast til kingdom come Wouldn't you like to know the hunger of a soul That never rests til it meets its goal? Your time is now; seize it somehow Tighten your grip down - and don't let it go! This is the one - the only one This moment now is true! The past is gone - tomorrow's sun May never dawn for you! Put the work in! If you ain't willing then it really ain't worth it - go sit in the pew of a church and Pray for a god who will do what you won't do for you Just sit back and he'll make your life perfect - it ain't workin No it ain't gonna be okay! You gotta go through the heat of pain - then you ask for more Ain't no shortcut to speed or strength Blood sweat and tears will free your chains - and that's for sure! I feel the vibe the pulse of life The wave it rises and it falls It goes so fast, it will not last Don't let it pass - give it your all! This is the one - the only one This moment now is true! The past is gone - tomorrow's sun May never dawn for you! Move - betta let me see ya move - betta let me see ya - betta let me see ya move! Awake with the rising sun, the rising sun This moment, this is the one, the one We mountains in this valley and we cower to none Rivers race, crown to base, of adrenaline-laced blood Foundation strong Pacing for this marathon - when that moment comes When the time is now, will I retreat, stand my ground? Or attack with a bow? Facing my opponent gracefully! Carpe Punctum! Seize the moment; now's the place to be And in case of emergency My first reaction's to lead, head of the class - all aspects Starting five - I sport the Captain's badge I'm calling the plays I say it's time for a change One that starts at the base And then I'm trouble all the way Yo, may seem I start slow Backwards planning phase - I'll pick up pace Laying low while I plot and scheme, dot I's and cross T's So when the time comes to unleash And I feel the endorphins morphin me Into some sorta beast, and I'm sorta pleased I hear these words, on repeat: "FUCK FEAR OF DEFEAT! FUCK FEAR OF DEFEAT!" This is the one - the only one This moment now is true! The past is gone - tomorrow's sun May never dawn for you! I feel the vibe the pulse of life The wave it rises and it falls It goes so fast, it will not last Don't let it pass - give it your all!

I touch down, shaking my head around to clear it up My wings broken, I no longer fly Glancing around and I've found that I'm stuck And I'm caught in a world that can't satisfy It's tragically plastic; I'll wrap it and pack it up Send it to the hell from whence it came Cause it's my soul's hit man and assassinator And so I'll bathe this world in flames I'm desperately in need of the real Sick of clouds I can't see through Since I landed here I feel I can't settle for your truth Now I see this world revealed Now my Third Eye's open wide As I search for something real Something real that lives inside See there's a peculiar place and it's called the earth It's the world we're all forced to live in And to the grave all the way from birth We are told that everything is genuine A lie to make fools of you and take you Eventually out I don't buy into the lies, that's easy to see But tell me - what is this life about? I'm desperately in need of the real Sick of clouds I can't see through Since I landed here I feel I can't settle for your truth Now I see this world revealed Now my Third Eye's open wide As I search for something real Something real that lives inside This crazy world is full of crazy things We can't help but come along for the ride Alice, this rabbit hole just went too deep I think it's time to open up our eyes All of the things in this life you see Are illusions that'll trick your mind Nothing in this world is real except For the things that live inside Nothing's real but what's inside, I wanna bring it to life Beyond duality is where I reside Like you, I awoke choke and broken by lies Feelin abandoned when I landed unaware of how I arrived Or if I planned it. I can't stand it when conformity's demanded Slow monotony of 3D is rotting me completely Wings have turned to dust, predatory senses faded I must Be a part of some nightmare Wake me up shake me up Strong and powerful like elephant With mind control of elements, pure eloquence plus elegance But don't know where the hell it went - energy is stifled here I struggle to survive it here. Defiant, non-compliant Self-reliant - been tryin to open up, give trust Accept love, it's star dust in my blood With the universe I'm one, one, one! Don't walk with Alice down that rabbit hole I fucking run! I'm desperately in need of the real Sick of clouds I can't see through Since I landed here I feel I can't settle for your truth Now I see this world revealed Now my Third Eye's open wide As I search for something real Something real that lives inside This crazy world full of crazy things We can't help but come along for the ride Alice, this rabbit hole just went too deep I think it's time to open up our eyes All of the things in this life you see Are just illusions that'll trick your mind Nothing in this world is real except For the things that live inside This crazy world is full of crazy things We can't help but come along for the ride Alice, this rabbit hole just went too deep I think it's time to open up our eyes IT'S TIME TO OPEN UP OUR EYES!!!

Some say that I ain't got a slow jam up on my list They wantin to hear me spit a little R&B Others say that a nigga really gotta be hard every time he spit With the guns and diamond rings, no time for softer things But I call myself a connoisseur of true music And so sometimes I think a brother really gotta sing So I do what I do and you fuckin haters can't say shit Cause you can't do it like me, I make it beautiful and free Sometimes these things I'm trying to say Are to real, hard vibes get in the way... So I gotta make it slow down I'ma make my music throw down Y'all sit back and wait and see Listen as I slow down I'ma get you dancin slow now Grab your partner follow me Slow it down... I think it's crazy how this game can make you trip One second you alright, the next you wanna fight Emcees promoters self entitled talkin shit Your breathin gets all tight, you wanna end their goddamn lives Ain't tryin to start a problem, that's just how you really feel Ain't tryin to get all buck, that's just the way you see it Tryin to keep your mouth shut when you know they ain't for real Cause that fakeness ain't enough - you wanna throttle them and repeat it! Just breathe. Just be. Just meditate. Those things don't matter anyway... So I gotta make it slow down I'ma make my music throw down Y'all sit back and wait and see Listen as I slow down I'ma get you dancin slow now Grab your partner follow me You thinkin I'ma bringin it hard. But right in the middle of it I switch it, change it Every way I'm rippin it is raw. I can sing it and you still would know a nigga's dangerous It's amazing what a tune can do, it'll get you feelin high until you can't move Until your eyes lookin like Fu Manchu, until even a hard nigga can be smooth and cool If you're single and you're feeling lonely; if you in love and you dancing closely Everyone knows that even if it's only once in a while, you gotta bring it slowly Sometimes that's hard to do. But instead of going round With a hopeless frown, just smoke a pound and slow it down, down, down... So I gotta make it slow down I'ma make my music throw down Y'all sit back and wait and see Listen as I slow down I'ma get you dancin slow now Grab your partner follow me Watch me as I, I slow down I'ma make my music throw down Y'all sit back and wait and see Listen as I slow down I'ma get you dancin slow now Grab your partner follow me Slow it down...

I don't know much about the future or past You'd think I do but alas, history's written by bigoted hands Don't really know if what I do's good or bad Or really who should I ask, so I'm just living the best that I can And that's the thing about believing in free choice You realize control over your life's where it really belongs But it's so easy just to make up a Deep Voice, And say It calls the shots and now all my responsibility's gone. But the truth is that my fate is my own, I'm taking control I ain't no baby make it be known I gotta build my life to reach my potential, plain and simple Ain't no victim in my mental no matter the things I been through Spiritual music for this revolution A miracle movement, your life you can choose it They may say we're crazy but they don't know do they? We're here and that's all we know baby All I know is that nothing is for sure I won't stop and I won't drop - I'ma make it to the top And I don't know why, I don't know how All I know is I'm here now, and can't nothing bring me down That's all I know All I know changes on a daily basis, what more can I say? It's like my brain's panning for gold in this information age Cause I'm a student of life - most of what I learned as a child I discovered as I grew was a lie Finally opened my eyes, read, heard, observed, and realized I don't wanna disguise my true Identity, pretend to be Polished when I'm raw, or comfortable when I'm not I'm like arachnid - always spinnin webs with effervescent thoughts Whether accepted or not, that web connects us, threads surround and embed us More I struggle against, the more tangled I get in it So one love is the message as I weave I'm extended To all my diamonds in the rough, multifaceted and flawed Heard you were searching for God - well you can stop It was with you all along, Consciousness or Soul, that Voice they call Holy Spirit actually is intuition, don't pretend that You can't hear it, pay attention, you're creating what you envision All I know is that nothing is for sure I won't stop and I won't drop - I'ma make it to the top And I don't know why, I don't know how All I know is I'm here now, and can't nothing bring me down That's all I know

I never been the one to have a leaky eye You're never going to see me cry or let a little weakness fly Indeed not I - unemotional, invulnerable I never I never thought I'd bleed or die But in recent times my keenest mind Has begun to realize feelings rising Deep inside a leech is hiding With the speech of a singing rhyme I've always been a part of you but the darker view Was easier to embrace, easier to replace Feeling helpless with anger, Close the doors and stand guard. But I was comfortable with a broken soul Then you had to go make me functional Sociable - never wanted to give a shit Now my heart's so big my torso explodes It was safer when I hated everyone in humanity I was shielded, never yielded, and nobody could damage me Now I'm broken open and emotional, with no control Enough to drive a man to insanity Finally decide to recognize, don't try to hide My incessant beating is keeping you alive ! You locked me inside, think you're protecting me? You're wrecking me ! Just set me free and let me be What's going on? Where did this heart come from? I didn't know I could be so eager to live! No Age of Innocence do I remember Always suspecting myself in danger Sleuthing for clues Nancy Drew at all times Suspicious, someone's out to get me. Why am I always ready for a fight? Scarred dark heart with no love inside Every white lie stokes my fire. Never trust again - knew I was right Never wanted to soften, too often opted to stifle me But even the hardest tree can topple in the wild breeze In a storm so terrible being flexible is a mighty thing When you don't know, I believe I believe I only get what I give Hated so much everything so much it made me sick My relationships: bursting apart at the seams. A machine, I need that Organry from which love springs to start morphing me. Calm the mind's stormy seas An abortion please, of thoughts contortin me I'll turn my sordid dreams into a sort of peace Apathy atrophies faculties that you need each day I'm your friend and not your enemy don't push me away Stop running from your pain; its energy can be your strength Trust me; I'll show you the way What's going on? Where did this heart come from? I didn't know I could be so eager to live! What's going on? Where did this heart come from? I didn't know I could be so eager to live! I am the dream of awakening. I am the returning of the light. I am the tough green shoot pushing up through the paved stones. I am the first kiss of sunlight on the unfurling petals of the snowdrop. I am the wind which whispers the gentle pull of home to the migratory bird. I am the drop of ice melting on the mountainside with its great dream of the ocean. I am the sap rising in the blossom tree just before it reveals its sticky buds to the sky; I am the riotous celebration humming away beneath the earth’s mantle of frozen sleep. I am the rousing of the bee from its winter slumber, and the soft pad of the mother-wolf’s paw on the snow as she prepares to birth her pups. I am hope, potential, rebirth and promise. I am the kindling breath which transforms the flicker of inspiration in your creative core into a blazing torch. Give me the silent crescent moon rising over the sea, and I will build you a bridge of silver light so you can walk up and lie in it. Give me the frost-hardened wilderness, and I will breathe radiant green life over it. Give me the healer, the writer, the crafts person and the storyteller, and I will replenish her essence and make her new again. I am Brigid, Bast, Inanna and Hestia. I am the fierce protectress of the sacred fire. Tonight I bestow my gifts of power and courage at the hearth of your soul: Power to step out of the shadows of self-doubt and negativity which have held you in darkness for too long, Power to shed all that which no longer serves you, and courage to clear your heart and mind for the dawn that awaits you. I am the time to honor your unique gifts for their true worth and to protect and nurture your creative self as you would a child. I am the deep longing of the spirit which refuses to be consumed by a narrative of fear and chooses instead to place itself vivaciously on the side of love. I am the stirring in your belly which knows exactly what you are capable of — and that it’s time the world found out. I am the fire within which will not be contained any longer. I am the quickening; the serpent uncoiling; Imbolc. I am the dream of awakening.

14 This Road 04:58
Used to believe in my freedom of choice, even when noise from the chaos around me seems to compete with my voice But now decisions, decisions feel like they're clouding my vision No longer feeling like freedom, they just distract from the prison Leavin me wishin I was missing, no longer part of the system But the songs don't make dinner, call it the starvin artist syndrome So do I just keep pretending that a mind unique can fit in To a nine-to-fiver life, or keep dreaming with no pot to eat or piss in? Yo, before I wrote one single song, I was just along for the ride, needed Mob by my side. Anything I could provide, I'd do it, so he could make his music. Any opportunity I had, I ran into it, sorta stupid. Jay Alphonso taught me how to lose two thousand dollars, Dreams of rockin' shows in Rocawear, crowds screamin', "Holla! Holla!" Only useful I'm naked, that's the only way I'll make it: "Take my clothes off, touch my skin it's so soft"...I'm so lost. And I don't know what to choose with all the paths I see before me. Desperate and confused, an orphan lost and far from home. Thought I didn't have much to lose except this heart that beats within me. Should I rip it from my chest just to keep walkin' down this road? Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey ..yeeeah Finally got a little crew together, after struggling through the weather And we raw as hell and I'm convinced no crew can do it better Sick with the music, we don't know jack about business Still we convinced we can do it, this is our craft so we live it Then Sony comes knocking offering for all of our problems And complications of the past to just dissolve into profit Just gotta sign on this paper to make it, all that you trading Is the free thought you created inside your heart; just erase it Perspectives flawed as I consolidate thoughts on this topic To be honest at some points I checked out, didn't stay on topic Jay jaded me, faded trust in humanity, damaged me Led to understanding, no big breaks unless I'm imagining Tried to build a team, but we ain't ready I can't hold my crew down if I can't hold myself steady And too many other rappers are so busy being petty it's upsetting In this recipe for success, ingredients I keep forgetting And I don't know what to choose with all the paths I see before me. Desperate and confused, an orphan lost and far from home. Thought I didn't have much to lose except this heart that beats within me. Should I rip it from my chest just to keep walkin' down this road? Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey ..yeeeah Just did our 20th show in a row at the same bar Maybe it don't look like much, but it feels like we came far Now we opening for bigger names, spitting flames Getting the same or better crowd response as when the main act hits the stage Promoters showing love I know that hated before Booked us for our biggest gig, messed up and canceled the show But no matter, my will can see the golden path that I'm after Going for broke and I'm hoping it don't end as a disaster I think in bars and stanzas, iambic pentameter I'm a rider, no amateur; but hip hop business is a different beast - More like selling drugs than anything Seen all types of fiends, Life as an artist has been famine or feast Hope, time, and finances tied up in my dreams Will it amount to anything? Or is it all False Hope Like the track by Unseen on repeat? Shit I just wanna raise my daughter and eat Build something beautiful to outlast me! And I don't know what to choose with all the paths I see before me. Desperate and confused, an orphan lost and far from home. Thought I didn't have much to lose except this heart that beats within me. Should I rip it from my chest just to keep walkin' down this road? Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey Let me hear ya now Hey, hey, hey ..yeeeah

You drive me crazy and you keep me sane No playin, I'm saying I'm staying right here by your side For this life of imagination, so endless and amazing Your reality taps into the source of potentiality Bring it up for me to taste, I take a drink And it's so sweet - playing bass while you make beats I'm escaping to another dimension and I'm letting go Penning slow, trying to capture one of many flows Tom beats transporting me - or maybe it's the tea But the rain and fire seem the perfect simile For you - you and me I've been hoping my whole life to find someone who complements me Completely love being on your team. I'm home more than whole with you by my side And when we kissed that night, I envisioned it like If lava and ice decided to collide Edges met and lines blurred, ice melted to lava and vice versa The palette was beautiful Red and orange hues took full control of me We were one, I was he, and he was me -- completely Forged your impervious heart with the heat of mine Waxing and waning at times, but our love never dies I've been hoping my whole life to find someone who complements me Completely love being on your team. I'm home more than whole with you by my side... Carry me home! Home is when I'm with you... Can you carry me home! Home is when I'm with you...

It was all a lie, mixed with truth - that's the hist'ry they tell. Tryin to lullaby our spirits with a sinister spell. But no - I will never be still! Givin em hell! Innocent screams swell from the so-called liberty bell. Meanwhile we live in a state of pretendin it's okay, runnin the rat race for barely a livable wage. Bury your head in the sand - bend over, willingly raped. Our native spirits replaced with the religion of slaves! Subserviently turnin the cheek for the oppressor; sacrificing life's quality for heavenly treasure. Try the peaceful approach, against a tyrant with weapons? They'll take your rights at gunpoint; you wave your sign as you let em! You ain't threat'nin singing for peace, while they drummin for war. You brought a pen to a sword fight - now your guts on the floor! Don't you get it? They know what they're doing is not to our liking. So what you think we gonna accomplish by asking politely? LETS RISE UP! I came to preach the truth, I came to be the proof, I came to bring the beast to its knees! I came to bring the pain, I came to make it rain fire from the sky all in the name of... Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance - cause we allow a system that schools kids to pass some standardized tests. And if they don't comply, we medicate the threat. And if your meds don't mess you up enough to skip your free lunch - Oh yum! Cause Michelle Obama got you some toxic sludge, to help the next generation trudge on pace to their place in the rat race where we make and make - just to throw it all away, away!>>> So don't think, create, or have a single idea; those are programmed for you by mainstream media, nightmare to me So-called American dream where profits over people is the motto of economy. A country where we still celebrate Columbus Day - so we wanna emulate pillaging and child rape! I came to preach the truth, I came to be the proof, I came to bring the beast to its knees! I came to bring the pain, I came to make it rain fire from the sky all in the name of... Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! It's time to take a stand; Syria killin each other with guns, we don't give a damn, But do it with chemicals, we invade your land. See a tyrant's only mighty as the sword he commands - So we police them, take their weapons, putting pow'r in our hands. Meanwhile, the electoral college undermines the people; we can vote but our voice is quite a bit shy from equal. Our minds are weaker; can't even know what's best for ourselves. Left to our own intellect I guess we would never excel! 'N' lobbyists give CEOs an extra vote through legal bribes, cash flows - and the same assholes Charge indigenous tribes for water from their own skies Murder those who protest! Make sweatshops of the rest! Now Lady Liberty's screamin, because her children are weaklings. We left her broken and bleeding, but now it's time to redeem us, by sacrificing what's needed for unequivocal freedom. It's the American Spirit - the definition of treason! LET'S RISE UP! I came to preach the truth, I came to be the proof, I came to bring the beast to its knees! I came to bring the pain, I came to make it rain fire from the sky all in the name of... Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

MobStyle shut it down... Live and underground... Inventive instrumentals with the skill to tell a story Keep it simple, mostly real with a bit of an allegory When it began, we were banished to the dimension of man Saw its inhabitants oppressed and so we gave em a hand Two obedient kids, raised country and religious Yo we played along, observed the human way We learned your dance and song Persevering through indoctrination, religion, education System benefiting mostly corporations So we infiltrated, set up a base camp, and laid plans To spark minds through entertainment Over a hundred degrees - and I'm the kerosene Now we some hip hop superheroes, empowering the people To stand up to the oppressor from the street into the steeple Leaping buildings in a single bound, battle villains and we Bring em down - through the whole village the name will be renowned Keep it comin now - we keep it evil, keep it genius, never dumb it down We got that new sound from the underground - and all my people guaranteed they bout to bump it loud singin MobStyle shut it down - music for the masterminds Live and underground - grooving as we pass the mic MobStyle shut it down - music for the masterminds Live and underground... Imbued with the qualities of sages, Wisdom beyond your age and never complacent Consistent demonstration, gladiator nation Convinced that we will make it - and that's Mob She got the glory of the moon in the pitch black night She that bright, riding through life like it's a half pipe Don't ask why she that fly, rippin through bad guys With surgical tactical black knives - and that's Style Modern day warrior - he'll Shaka you up And then he'll Zulu you down. As it tears through the air Staff makes a whistling sound. Pierce through fears With his spear, embraced the rage - no he ain't playin around - and that's Mob Mix in precognition with a little hyper-vigilance Slippin from the grip of thinkin ignorance is bliss To save the victims of the fall and all its obvious effects But too raw to be depressed; a goddess in the flesh - and that's Style Keep it comin now - we keep it evil, keep it genius, never dumb it down We got that new sound from the underground - and all my people guaranteed they bout to bump it loud singin MobStyle shut it down - music for the masterminds Live and underground - grooving as we pass the mic MobStyle shut it down - music for the masterminds Live and underground... Living on the crest of the wave, yes I'm afraid But I do it anyway, daily steppin up my game Free spirit, tomboy - I don't care much for fame And yo KriStyle is the name. Remember back in the day I was in the back of the stage But for the last three years I been all in your face Ay the largest of brains up in the Smallest of frames, teaming with the clumsy giant But I won't fall on my face, just gotta Master my method so I can harness the strength Of the ethereal material'll Steer you to a marvelous place Cause we were made to create, and not be turned into slaves Oh no that can't be our fate - MobStyle, we the vessels of change We got the rebel mind and an anarchist heart And revolutionary spirit, let the party start We never stop. Whoever said that we would probably flop Ought to be karate chopped - y'all shouldn't naughtily talk Keep it comin now - we keep it evil, keep it genius, never dumb it down We got that new sound from the underground - and all my people guaranteed they bout to bump it loud singin MobStyle shut it down - music for the masterminds Live and underground - grooving as we pass the mic MobStyle shut it down - music for the masterminds Live and underground - grooving as we pass the mic

This is a concept album titled Mythology, and it best represents the complex influences of our sound and delivery. The project chronicles a pseudo-allegorical tale of tyranny and revolution, independence and community, and the holistic advancement of the common person and the entire human race.
