LYRICS
I reminisce, I reminisce

I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back
Hella great things that tell the way we act
Born on the 12th of October
Never smoked, never drank, life-long sober
Over-stated as underrated since the beginning
when in second grade it was stated that I was a musician
From piano to the sax and other woodwinds
Lessons with jazz legends where Inglewood ends
From the vinyl to the tracks and bumpin good blends
Breaking and tagging and banging with my 'hood friends
I was about that life for more than a minute
Even though my parents raised me different, I was in it
Irresponsible, plain not thinking
Peers and constables, years of obstacles
Finally hurdled and liquidated like Squirtle
when I verbally murdered derkles, underground never commercial
I make music because music made me
It seems you all forgot the value of it lately
Appreciation is missing, so I'm on a mission
To help you see it glisten when you close your eyes and listen
Positive over negative, gotta let it live
before it dies - that's a lesson in rhetoric
De ja vu, still the crew gets hella blue
when they reminisce over Drew
Good lord

I reminisce, I reminisce
Reminisce

You know how I do. It's been about a month, so it's about that time to hit you with something new. Although, with all the saxophoning, singing, and instrumentation I've been doing lately; I thought it'd be best to let the next public heater be a good old-fashioned boom-bap beats and raps cut for my core fan-base -- the true blue underground hip hop heads.

Enter: "Unfamous Mindframe." You've seen it on events, you've heard it on records, you've even seen the logo on merchandise. On this, my second collaboration with ABQ-based producer Diles, I decided to take some time to explain what exactly "UNFAMOUS" means. For those that haven't gotten it up until now, this is the song that will open your eyes, ears, and mind to the UNFAMOUS movement, and why you should be involved.

In addition to all the goodness in it, what pure rap song is complete without a visit from my favorite DJ, The OG Daze Uno? Press play and turn the speakers up, this one's going to knoc your socs off.

LYRICS
My mindframe is UNFAMOUS
It's not a label, it's a lifestyle, language,
and love for music not that lack-luster lameness
It's not exclusive, any open mind can claim this

It's a movement, new improved knit
fabric woven holding golden intent
Indent the game and bent the frame
Started with The Gallery, and then became
the underground definitive, the indie blueprint
We found the limit, then we simply moved it
It's in me, dude it's the source of greatness
Undeniable, and of course UNFAMOUS

You like, "Don't forget us when you blow up!"
Then you forget my shows and never show up
So you know what?
I'll never forget the effort made to support my endeavors
It's just like karma: You get what you give
You're writing the future within the script that you live
Inviting my troopers and friends to kick it and hang, 'cause
they still showed love when I was just UNFAMOUS

We don't do hype, we don't do trends
We don't feel like the means should bend for ends
And we kept the friends that actually know us
instead of dissing them for Yes-Men that practically blow us
Some of yawl are trying to re-write history
how you went from what you were to how you are is a mystery
Abandoned values you was taught when you came up
You lame, cuz - you'd never make it UNFAMOUS

'Nuff respect to all the artists in here
None object that this the hardest career
But unlike most, it wasn't a choice
It's the only thing you know, and so you trust in your voice
But you speak from the soul, you speak from the heart
Hard to reach are your goals when you're speaking through art
Most don't understand it all the same
just maintain and be you, stay UNFAMOUS

My mindframe is UNFAMOUS
It's not a label, it's a lifestyle, language,
and love for music not that lack-luster lameness
It's not exclusive, any open mind can claim this
UNFAMOUS

Noventa (featuring Anacron)

PRELUDE.
Que serais-je sans toi qui vins à ma rencontre
Que serais-je sans toi qu'un coeur au bois dormant
Que serais-je sans toi que ce balbutiement
J'ai tout appris de toi sur les choses humaines

VERSE.
They seem perfect / They seem right
They seem brilliant / They seem bright
They seem moral / They seem so pure
They seem grown / They seem mature
They seem honest / They seem real, and
They seem open / They seem feeling
They seem passioned / They seem fervent
They seem loving / They seem perfect
Don’t they?

CHORUS.
Don’t they?
(Repeat)

LYRICS:

She was a fine Spanish princess
Met her somewhere in between Venecia and Venice
She'd been blessed; a slimmie with a beautiful face,
shapely waist, brains, and good taste
My game was 'hood-laced, she liked that angle
Then in the blink of an eye, our lives entangled
Hours nicely wrangled, missed not an instance
incidents of distance rinsed in inconsistence
But I wanted my carino close
So she headed for the states to meet me on the West Coast
Now that's true love, the type of dedication
that was more than enough to cross the borders of a nation

Give me your tired, poor, and huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free? Never breathing air with us
Liberty barb-wired door and none passes
It ain't easy, coming to America

On the day of her arrival, 
I was liable to spread the word like the Bible
Preach! My Latin-European peach
was a flight away and brighter days were just beyond reach
At the main baggage claim, I could barely breathe,
in the throes with a rose and my heart on my sleeve
LAX man, hours in the airport
Then a text came I wasn't prepared for
"Que problema?" Customs got her wrapped up
TSA is wack, cuz; fool, don't make me act up
When she came down, I was glad that she made it
after being profiled, strip-searched, and degraded
Tried to file a complaint; "Oh, is that right"
Patriotic Act need some patriotic act-right
Ya'll mall security, eff the badge you're wearing, bruh
Giving visitors the worst welcome to America

Give me your tired, poor, and huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free? Never breathing air with us
Liberty barb-wired door and none passes
It ain't easy, coming to America

Land of the free, home of the brave
I guess you're only welcome if you come in as a slave
From the jump, she was treated like a criminal
Some of it was outright, other times subliminal
Even though she looks White; accent, annunciation
got her facing all types of discrimination
This silly cracker though my Spanish girl was Mexican
Talking about he wished our country never let them in
Damn, fool! Gotta get it clear, nerd
Spanish found America, and Mexicans was here first...
stupid! And the Government's no better, jerks 
charge hella for a Visa, but they won't let her work
I know exactly what it's like; my skin's brown
"The Man" has a plan designed to keep us down
and if you doubt the "Self-Evident Truths"-hype is fake,
try to smuggle LOVE into the United States

Give me your tired, poor, and huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free? Never breathing air with us
Liberty barb-wired door and none passes
It ain't easy, coming to America

So basically, what I'm saying is
If you're interested in new and exciting opportunities,
or making a better life for yourself and for your family,
or maybe even just finding true love;
Americas the place do it.
Come on over!

...SIKE!!!
