Hell Yeah! Funnily enough just yesterday I was looking at a Vinyl you sold me years ago, and it got me thinking if Bornski was still making music! Good to hear you're back man!

Simplistic drinkin' song with a Gary Glitter style driving riff and a mean Kazoo solo

This song is 'For...' the lives and memories of Sam 'Chap One' McNulty and Slycoh Marowa and all those who have left us way too soon. ‘For...’ combines spacious future jazz aesthetics, serious bass pressure, hauntingly beautiful vocals from Ethiopian singer Enushu Taye and deep trumpet lines by Ian Dixon both from Ethio-jazz purveyors Black Jesus Experience - frequent collaborators with Mulatu Astatke. Lyrically, it’s a wistful, nostalgic musing on the passing of friendships, with Monk transforming the personal into something hauntingly universal.

Lyrics

 (ChorusX2) Iota, just a component of something bigger
Big picture- we’re interconnected- no limits
No divisions in the living ecosystem
Ancient wisdom outlives the ego-driven human condition

(Verse) The individual is a myth, 
Don’t believe the hype, this 80s greed straight led us to shit
All life- one organism, united it lives
Go on- get jokey, get angry, then accept what it is
We’re so progressive, so clever we’re polluting our kids
We must hate what we are to put an end to this here, nah
In the endless pursuit of growth 
It’s artificial greed spawning artificial need- that’s why we do it so
We’ve been punked by the powers that be
The owners broke our spirit now we no longer believe
They capitalise on our fears, turn us against one another
Keep us distracted and cash-in while we fight with our peers
Raising a flag, misdirected hatred- it’s mad
Rupert pulling the strings, minorities get the axe
Clearly you’re whipped, that border you protect with a fist
Is an elaborate hoax- it doesn’t really exist
(DJ Snair Cuts Section- ‘realise that we are one regardless of our birthplace’- Immortal Technique)

(Verse) (and in light of that) you’re not sharing your things in the land of plenty
Where the native were forced to sacrifice so you could have everything
Your boat people rocked up in their galleys
And now your racism thrives in the subsequent damage
Divided and conquered we consume ignorance
Unfulfilled by the dream we are sold, turn on what’s different
And fit the mould like a militant
Humanity’s the enemy, the lines are imaginary
See I believe in something past the superficial divisions
The rampant greed and materialism
There’s more than this, the truth is we are one organism
Connected with all that is, I’m sure of it

(Chorus) Iota, just a component of something bigger
Big picture- we’re interconnected- no limits
No divisions in the living ecosystem
Ancient wisdom outlives the ego driven human condition

(Verse) Wise man said we’ve got more in common than not
Just different paths to the same destination we trot
Different beliefs, different cultures, different patches of dirt
Same goal of happiness before divisions occur
People really are the same in a round-about way
And if you step out your backyard you’ll see this at play
Or stay blind to the ways and not evolve to the age
They’ll say humanity sold out and found out too late
Logical conclusion, when the lust for power is the seed
When we’ve f#cked up the earth it’s the optimal solution
When we keep consuming and listening to the ego
And living in a bubble while the imminent is looming
I heard for every reaction is a reaction
And energy that you put out is gonna come back again
Cliché because it happens
We’re interconnected with each other in an ocean of waves clashing
And random acts of compassion
It’s in our nature to keep this world on its axis
Ancient wisdom beckons, we must adapt and evolve 
Before we bring a quick end and it goes black again

(Chorus) Iota, just a component of something bigger
Big picture- we’re interconnected- no limits
No divisions in the living ecosystem
Ancient wisdom outlives the ego driven human condition

(spoken word) Big picture, bigger than Hip Hop
It is a chip off, it’s a channel, don’t get it twisted
Your petty people judgements, insignificant
I wouldn’t sweat it too much, it’s all subjective, but I admire your diligence
The mind is the miracle, 
One that’ll never reach the pinnacle, it doesn’t exist
The journey is the miracle, creation spiritual
Just enjoy the ride, give what you can and don’t be a prick, 
You’re an iota
