"Can't Stop Me"
Bridge:
Love me hate me, Knock me or Jock me
I can’t stop, You can’t stop me
Dump me, praise me, block me or cop me
I can’t stop, You can’t stop me
Bump me Fade me, clock me or pop me
I can’t stop, You can’t stop me
Judge me, taze me, lock me or drop me
I can’t stop, You can’t stop me
Verse 1
Here I am,
Here I stand Mind & Body
With your heart in my hand, No one can stop me
I’m a force a nature, a giant tsunami
aligning wavelengths so don’t fuck with me honestly
I’ve reached the apex, eclipsed the plateau
the eye in the middle of the tropical cyclone
calm like a wildfire minutes before it explodes
fan the flames spit volcanic flows,
Blow the winds of change into a raging inferno
Shift the terrain of your brain til you came full circle
Life is change the struggles universal
Time is eternal though death is impatient,
I’m the variable, the x factor in the equations
The Balance between destruction and creation
With enough talent to bring homeostasis
like Prometheus stealing fire from the gods
I know the secret to illuminate the dawn,
We must evolve towards equilibrium,
before the earth is scorched into oblivion

“The Watchers”
Intro
Watch what you write Watch what you read,
Watch what you bought Watch what you see
Watch what you thought Watch what you speak
Hide who you are, Deny your dreams
Verse 1:
Minds behind bars I got the key
They already know who we are
So Let’s get free
Listen to your heart it’s time to speak
Is this the demise of democracy
Secret laws secret courts secret prisons
illegal wars illegal torture illegal killings
The proof is leaking Behind closed doors
Truths a beacon, the calm before the storm
We’re all suspects now, get informed
don’t back down become a force
huh... they say this is liberty
we can change the course of history
The time is ours,
Information is power
Get louder and louder
Information is power
Get louder and louder
Hook:
while the truths held hostage
Who watches the watchers? (x 3)
while the truths held hostage (x 3)
Who watches the watchers?
Verse 2:
It’s about to pour the clouds are forming
Boundless informants, hound us without warrants
Meta-data recorded, stored, collected,
War is the health of the corporate-state of exception
Surveillance the cornerstone of oppression
predictive analytics Biometric systems,
geo-spatial satellite positions
trace us with millimeter precision
Cameras on every street corner and building
Iris Scans, facial recognition
These are the ghosts of eugenics
even control has it’s limits,
We won’t fall for this the pit is bottomless
monopolists want full spectrum dominance
politicians went from paranoid to monstrous- -
electronic reconnaissance
Controls your consciousness
Data retentions limitless…
Indefinite detention of dissidents
It’s villainous
the lies they sell us
They terrify the rebellious
& demonize the truth-tellers

“You’ve Got A Friend”
Verse 1:
Liberate your mind
Greet each morning with eyes wide to the beauty,
by the light of the dawn, think free and fluid,
we’re movin’ on in new ways, it’s intuitive,
evolve through knowledge, stay true to this
Melt the hourglass spill the sands of time
Reclaim our role in the grand design
we’re strongest combined, shoulder to shoulder
side by side, it aint over till it’s over
Word is bond, friends
We all got problems honest… from my brain to your heart
Together we’ll blossom, I’m the flames to your the spark
we got the struggle in common, Bring our a-game
knock this shit out the park
I got ya back…
when it’s against the wall
An injury to one that’s an injury to all (x 2)

“Blast Off”
Intro
Do what you gone do
But I’m Stomp through
With a head full of shrooms in combat boots
Don’t make me drop you fools
Like the endless cycle of death and rebirth
We’re born from the stars we return to the earth
1st Verse
Sublime misfits, we shine different
Paradigm shiftin’ to redefine brilliance
on a quest for vision, even if it kills us
it takes risk to see accomplishments
dive in the abyss and then rise to the summit
Hook:
Blast off, I’m strapped in
Light years ahead of the rest,
Time bends then I transcend
Ideas are infinite
Blast off (x 3)
Light years ahead of the rest
Verse 2:
Crashing through the looking glass,
Shot through a cannon
Smashing windowpanes
to catch the white rabbit
Keep it surreal, Salvador Dali bizarre
Illusions melt, like clocks on the wall,
Cops nearly killed me, I did my time
Like Jimi, excuse me while I kiss the sky
break on through to the other side
Step in the room behind my eyes,
Go deep inside, I won’t close the blinds,
I’ll let my light shines through the solitude
Holla at me, If you wanna follow through
I hold a mirror to your truth, that’s all I can do
Don’t be scared of me, for I’m also you
Recycled atoms and molecules
Hook:
Blast off (x 3)
Light years ahead of the rest,
Time bends then I transcend
Ideas are infinite

“Power to the People”
Hook:
Blowing Sour Diesel
Power to the people
Dissolve ego
Now I’m in beast mode
Evolve as equals
Do it like it’s legal
Bump it out your whip
Bang it out your speakers
Verse 1:
Sparks fly, lightning strikes unpredictably
Flash of Blazing insight, ignite minds with epiphanies
Absorb energy brains courses with electricity
Explore Ancestral memories endless possibilities
Travel collectively on the search for simplicity
The universe is complexity, nature is divinity
Our Fates the synchronicity of infinities,
biologically, atomically, chemically,
We’re all connected,
same astral trajectories
eclipse the past with action,
write your own history
Authority's obsolete
we’re authors of our destinies
we are not machines,
follow your dreams restlessly
communicate ambitiously…
Till we think and act differently
Unite the human race to escape this captivity,
We evolved past the twisted laws of fascists
No longer captive to systems, gods, or masters
Blowing sour diesel
Power to the people
Dissolve ego
Now I’m in beast mode
Evolve as equals
Do it like it’s legal
Bump it out your whip
Bang it our your speakers
Power to the people
Bang it out your speakers (x 2)

“Afraid of Us”
Intro:
Dangerous,
We so dangerous
My whole entire unit is dangerous
Filthy as fuck
So Dangerous (x2)
Hated us, thrown shade at us
We want everything for everyone
That’s why we’re dangerous
Verse 1:
Ethereal outcasts travelin’ through gravitational collapse
rockin' bandanas with black holes through the face of our masks
wrote normality's epitaph bury your views parallax,
Planes of reality hijacked, clandestine rebels strike back
holographic vendettas attackin' your senses
til perception breaks down to fractal dimensions
living on the edge of the knife, we got off the fence paid the price
said fuck it then, cut the tight-rope when it slipped around our necks
Hook:
So much to fathom
Between the light and the shadow
Ashes to atoms, dust to stardust
We are constant change
In a state of flux
No wonder they’re afraid of us (x 4)
Verse 2:
We’re righteous hell-raisers,
game changers
rule-breakers, trail-blazers,
with barbwire halos,
risk-takers
provoking innovation
Your badges, tasers, cuffs and cages
Can’t contain us
Our weapons imagination
Cosmic revolutionaries, celestial pirates, Smuggling hope,
Nomadic insurrectionists, soldiers that have gone rogue
runaway slaves & minimum wage proles
psychedelic renegades vanish in a purple haze of smoke
Social criminals trapped in survival mode
Eco saboteurs, who’d die defending the earth
Boosters, hustlers, urban squatters
Fugitives, buskers, guerrilla gardeners

“Strife & Harmony”
You got presence and mesmerizing methods
you're like Tesla with your magnetizing essence
Talented & Beautiful Passionate & Musical
It’s indisputable Your fires unusual,
you shine exuberantly bright
we met that afternoon I had to roll the dice,
skinny dipped under the moon, that very night
kissed under cloudless skies, dove deep in the sublime
swam the oceans, we shared the unspoken
emboldened we danced, you got me open
the sun hit your eyes… in that exact moment
I could have died… time was frozen,
Our bodies entwined and interwoven
like tangled roses, blooming horizontally
you and me,
under a blanket of stars, that’s all i need
to balance the strife and the harmony

“Why Wait?”
Hook:
Why wait for tomorrow, when you’ve got today
Why not make a move, you can do it your way (x 2)
Verse 1:
Slip on your helmets, let’s take flight
engage warp drive at the speed of life
pull down the view-finder,
see the world trail behind us
Here, let me take off them blinders
Control is an illusion that’s beneath you
Hold on, let’s climb over the walls of ego,
Beyond our roles as followers and leaders
Subjective ethos of of good and evil
Disappear in the plume of smoke
The earths a blue dot in the universal whole,
dying over borders, that’s a cruel joke,
Wasting time, chasing fools gold
These vessels got a finite set of days, hours and minutes,
that quickly slip through our fingers,
still we steal from hungry lips,
empty clips into brothers & sisters
even though we’re kindred
Seek forgiveness
We aint promised to find
Til we parallel each other’s orbits eclipse the horizon
Hook:
Why wait for tomorrow, when you’ve got today
Why not make a move, you can do it your way (x 2)

Hook:
Diggin,’ Evolvin’, Creatin’, Adaptin’
Spittin’, Bombin’ Breakin’, Scratchin’ (x 3)
Verse 1:
Needle drops, the record spins,
dope beats, tight rhymes, a fluid blend,
You and a room of your friends,
take the old make it new again
Funk, Rock, Soul, Blues and Jazz
transforms to the newest raps
hit the breaks reinvent the rules and then
raise the decibels til the roof caves in
pay homage to the legends, keep it real no question
go hard, and represent
love that new-new but respects the architect,
For Kool Herc,
I drop a smooth verse
truth hurts, music hits you feel no pain,
a universe of possibility in ya brain
same elements combined flipped and rearranged
timeless eclipse like the seasons change
from producers chopping wax in the lab
emcees dropping knowledge bringing it back
b-boys poppin and lockin’ blow-up the ave.
energy never destroyed nor created
endless cycle building on the past,
projected into the future, to make it last
it don’t, it can’t and it won’t stop
that’s why I love hip hop (x 3)
Hook:
Diggin,’ Evolvin’, Creatin’, Adaptin’
Spittin’, Bombin’ Breakin’, Scratchin’
Toast to the classics

“Big Bang”
Intro:
Close your eyes
Open your mind (x 2)
We we’re chosen to shine
Like the universe
From its first moments
The big bang
The cosmic birth pangs
Trace the trajectory
Find your place
Carve your legacy
In the star’s celestial memories
Verse 1:
Metamorphosis,
Cosmic synthesis
Boundless existence
Like stardust within us
Break it down like particle physics
Ordered yet probabilistic
No ending, no beginning
Similar, yet so different
We draw lines arbitrarily
Check the multiplicity of singularities
Exploring psyches at light speeds
Uncover the mysteries of dark energy
Imagine how endlessly far we’ve traveled
Our cells, molecules, and atoms
From nebulas, galaxies and planets
Envision what we might become
If we find our passion
And shine brighter than the sun
Mind over matter
We are the chosen ones
Living beings with autonomous processes
Listen to your heart beating
Feel the quantum consciousness
Timeless yet fleeting
Before we return to the aether
Learn evolution’s true meaning

“All I Need”
Verse 1:
I got the Wildest Style
Mind flyin’ a mile a minute
Above the clouds I defy the limits
the beat drops, Dreams flicker
off the top of my dome
Words Hit the tip of my tongue
I cock and reload get
Caught in my mode
Lost in the zone
Shouting whispers inside tornadoes
Thought criminals, you know the flow is fatal
The Heat pops and sizzles,
Before your brain blows
open a window
Little by little we’re lost in the riddles,
Wise I keep it real simple,
ancient memories
escape to the forest
creative remedies
Retrace the origins,
Pangea to Diaspora
Return to the roots
Hunters foragers,
beating the drums
Hypnotized by truth
hearts beating as one
the melody unspools
rhythm ties it up
harmonies cut us loose
tragedies overcome
Hook:
All I need is truth and beauty
Music that moves me
Trees shooting into the sky
All I need is music and beauty
Truth that moves me
The sun beaming on high
Verse 2
A fierce green fire in my eyes
I see no compromise
When systems leave nothing alive
consume air, earth, water,
pollute land, sea, and sky
Chainsaws fly as old growth dies
Rainfall acidified
Mountains strip-mined
Smokestacks blacken skies pipelines
spill carbon dioxide, ice caps melt
seas levels rise
No place to run, no place to hide
Earth is not a means to an end
Natures no machine, we’re not the machinists
We are just one species
Connected to other beings
In a complex web,
We didn’t weave it,
We’re just one thread,
Take more than we need
We deplete it
In the end,
That’s self-defeatist
Stay two steps ahead of the grim reaper
I dig deeper
Pierce the primordial aether
Witness the universe unified within
A symphony of strings
Resonating a rhythm
Bend insights
Through a kaleidoscopic prism
Unleash a vortex
Of metamorphosis
in your cerebral cortexes
a force that shifts meaning
inside the abyss
I dig deep within,
Stare into the icy chasm
Glimpse the psyche’s patterns
Plato’s cave
Hard not to be pulled under
But your game is up
Your days of plenty are numbered
If time is money
We’re all broke as fuck
If time is money
As a species
We’re all broke as fuck (x 2)
Hook:
All I need is truth and beauty
Music that moves me
Trees shooting into the sky
All I need is music and beauty
Truth that moves me
The sun beaming on high
Verse 3:
What affects you
affects me indirectly
We’re woven into a single garment of destiny
We’re golden, we’re stardust, recycled energy,
Billions of years of carbon complexity
In a garden of celestial memories
We’re equals not enemies
No sequels of supremacy
Carpe Noctum, Carpe diem
Break the lock Set me Free
Things are not what they seem…
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream

“Do What you Gotta Do”
Intro
This is my life, only you decide yours
1st verse
Why are you here?
you got love, you lost fear
All these years
the smiles cost tears
But we’ve gone through it
now we want more than music
A cause, A blueprint,
Something that eludes us
Bridge
This is my life, only you decide yours
Verse 2:
Small minds going to judge
Regardless of view
Live your life the way you want to
Nothings absolute
Everything changes
Everything moves
Verse 3:
As long as blood pumps through my arteries
I’ll manifest what's a part of me
I swear to fulfill
my unstoppable will to create,
til the ground shakes
the earth cracks
the sky breaks,
brace yourself
here’s the key
to escape your cell
dive into the collective spirit
Flip scripts with confidence
Rise and be fearless
No dissonance, just consonance
I told them every actions has a consequence
They tried to bury us
Didn’t know we we’re seeds
Now the winds carry us to sew our dreams

“Ride the Chaos”
Verse 1:
Around bonfires, time is distorted
We color outside the lines of the borders
Puff vapors till our minds are transported
Then Dance in the place between chaos and order
The sun rises and the days get shorter
Throw caution to the winds of change we cast our fortunes
Changing constantly to remain free
no ultimate truth, so we endlessly seek
The rarity
of eternal things
like a butterfly flapping its wings
that bring hurricanes
the patterns change
but the elements stay the same
although endlessly rearranged
the yin and yang
lies in the balance of all things
ebb and flow
like the moon waxes and wanes
In the land of the gun
We live fast and die young,
The flame that burns twice as bright
lasts half as long
Hook:
Get so high we’re going to take off
We’re so fly, you’ll never break us
Get so high we’re going to take off
Free your mind, ride the chaos
Verse 2:
Soaring through the euphoria to another dimension
melting, morphing, swirling, elevating the senses
beyond logic past the realm of reason
I’m an arcane dreamer
with thoughts from the aether
kiss the sky, roll it up, smoke that bud, bold as love
in the blink of an eye
potent bud got me opened up, bridge the divide
now something taken over us
Dabs hit your lungs with a cataclysmic explosion
Let it go internal supernova
embrace the chaos,
explore the unknown
travel off the radar
tour the cosmos
see how far, it all goes
unfolding to a
a vision of the infinite,
intangible, inexpressible
a little of that, a little of this
different yet identical
everything and it’s opposite,
all that is and will ever exist
every speck of dust and piece of dirt
every stone, tree, and all humans on earth
every drop in the ocean
and every star in the universe
every moment every connection,
from the insignificant, to the most impressive
from a profane lesson to the holiest confession
it’s her, it’s him, it’s us, it’s me, it’s you, it’s we,
Our actions produce the rhythms of eternity
Hook:
Get so high we’re going to take off
We’re so fly, you’ll never break us
Get so high we’re going to take off
Free your mind, ride the chaos
