Malev Da Shinobi

Hello again. It's been around a months time since I last posted... Far to long for my liking and mental health. 
A few things have changed in the time, from raising new born kittens by hand- to ending a 4 year relationship... Lots of feelings and strange emotions. 
When it seems you're doing nothing, but the world is constantly moving - It's easy to feel like you're being left behind; of little worth- like elderly or sickly in ancient nomadic tribes. 
But it's just a mind game, and I'm starting to see that. 

The mind plays tricks on itself, and if you let it run rampent, you'll find both body and mind out of control. 
Being rooted in the now, is integral to understand for mental health and true perspective on the universe. That being said...... my imagination, and it seems others imaginations.. 
People in general, have a undying curiosity for the future. 
A constant fearful obsession with what will happen next. 
Endless permutations and scenarios of how events could potentially unfold.. 
It's easy to think too much, and it's entirely too easy to get lost and trapped in those thoughts. 

That is what this song is about..  Honestly it's quite old, the song was written about 8 months ago.. and I've had the instrumental for longer. @https://soundcloud.com/sicknessmp 
Is the producer, as always... coming with a beautiful sound that makes one feel. Much love and thanks to him for letting me use the sound. With all the things that were happening, and how I was feeling, it felt like the right time to make the song. 

Because, when I was younger, not even 6 years ago, - I had no idea of what was to come. 
And before that, I never found an answer to: 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' 

It's a simple song, It's about wondering, wondering how I'll be different, how I'll be the same..
With who and where will I end up? 
There are many questions that cannot be answered.. yet I ponder their possibilities anyway. 
Do you? 

Lyrics below. 




------------------------ LYRICS ----------------------------


VERSE 1 @ 33 
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT, THAT IT WOULD COME TO THIS? 
THE PLACE WHERE I'M AT, 
THE PLACES THAT I'VE BEEN, 
THE PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN,
AND THE PEOPLE THAT I'M WITH-
HOW EVENTS CHAIN TOGETHER, 
SHOWS ME WHERE THE PUZZLE FITS, 
THE PATH ISN'T FIXED, 
SO I WRITE MY OWN SCRIPT, ACCORDING TO CIRCUMSTANCES, WITHIN, 
I COULDN'T IMAGINE
EVEN A LITTLE BIT, 
THE ANSWER, I WOULD MISS, 
IF YOU TOLD ME--TO GUESS, 
SECRETS THAT I'VE TOLD, 
&THE SECRETS I HAVE KEPT, THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE LOVED, 
AND WITH WHOM I SHARE MY BED,
WHAT I HAD PICTURED-
IN MY HEAD, WAS CLOUDY-
AT BEST, 
HARD TO NOT BE UPSET, EASY TO BE STRESSED - 

WHEN YA DON'T KNOW WHAT YA WANT,
BUT HATE WHAT YOU GET. X 2 

HOOK --- @ 1:16 
I WONDER WHAT THE TIME MIGHT BRING? 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
I WONDER IF I'LL SEE MY DREAMS? 
I'LL FIND OUT,
I'LL FIND OUT, 

VERSE 2 @ 1:36 
BECOMING LOST IN THE LABYRINTH,
OF THE MIND, MEMORY- 
IS TIME TRAVELLING THE LABYRYNTHIAN DESIGN.- 
BALANCE IS HARD TO FIND
THE MOUNTAINS, HARD TO CLIMB, 
IF YOU LOSE YOUR GRIP,
IN CHALLENGING TIMES,  
IT WILL FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES, 
&HINDER YOUR VISION, 
LEAVING YOU BLIND, IF YOU FAIL TO RISE, 
WELL IT'S TIME TO IMPROVISE, 
I KNOW TRUTH IS HIDDEN,
DISGUISED IN PLAIN SIGHT.

HOOK --- 
I WONDER WHAT THE TIME MIGHT BRING? 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
I WONDER IF I'LL SEE MY DREAMS? 
I'LL FIND OUT,
I'LL FIND OUT, 
 

BRIDGE --- 

SEE, I WONDER, YO-I-WONDER--
OO-
OO-
WHO,WHO I'LL-BE---------

HOOK --- 
I WONDER WHAT THE TIME MIGHT BRING? 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
WE'LL FIND OUT, 
I WONDER IF I'LL SEE MY DREAMS? 
I'LL FIND OUT,
I'LL FIND OUT, 



Peace,

Who I'll Be: Produced by Sickness MP [Lyrics in Description]

Hello again, It's time yet again to drop another sound from the shadows. 

This song is an older song, one that I wrote some time ago, with a super style-y instru from @https://soundcloud.com/diza-noventas I'm grateful for the sound. 
It's another one from the dusty backlog. Even though it is older, there was much revision to be done..
I tend to think that's why It took me so long to even do some of these songs.. because some of them are so technical/lyrical to even make em sound half way decent I needed to really step my game up in all forms. That being said I don't even know If it still sounds that nice.. 

I kinda like it, .. It is what I wrote. I'm not even sure what to expect actually, when these songs go from text form to sound form. It's a big experiment.. 
The reason I chose to do this song, was really because I wanted to do something a little more fun, an reminiscant of the older days. 
Tracks that were just about rhyming cool rhymes and saying cool things. Didn't really matter what was being said, even if it was silly or out of context- It was all about the flavor and style injected. 

I wanted to try something like that with this jam. The hook comes really from a phrase that I just use in my normal language.. 

'that shit that make a ninja want to flip' is really just what I tend to say when I think that something is cool. It's the coolness, that would make the ninja want to flip (out of excitement) because obviously ninjas enjoy flipping. I know I do. 

The verse are focused really on just fun styles and lyrical type lines that are constantly moving and changing, yet staying familiar. I really hope you enjoy....

DatShit//NinjaFlip: Produced by Diza XL [Lyrics in Description]

Hello again, .. It is time once more, to emerge from the shadows with a track. 
Today is my Birthday, it's fitting that such an entry come out today.

This track was a collaborative work on a new level comparable to my other projects, a first to be featured on my page. 
Also a first for the producer and brain behind the project: https://soundcloud.com/planetragtime 
I've been following him for some time, since I started to get into this style of instrumental & sound. And he long stood out as a person of a high calibur with the sounds and production value.. before I knew what was good, I had listened to his entire list many times and download some more. 
The type of stuff I was finding myself so inspired by, I was writing complete songs more complex than my actual projects .. just on the side because the sound was that good. 
With no intentions of really bringing some of them to the light.. 

This track was originally recorded to a completely different instrumental. Just to show him that I was inspired by his work and this was what I wrote. 

After some brief messages, we connected heads, and he connected my original words with a brand new sound, that he felt fit the verse more. 
I couldn't agree more, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this jam. 
Two complete strangers from half across the globe in distance seperate by language barriers and connections came together despite all odds and made a moment that i'm truly proud to be a part of...
The raw mix fits the sound perfectly & lends to this message, as if recorded simply to get this these thoughts off ones chest. 
The song was initially something of a journal entry, it's about realizing the 'flaws' that you posses inside, to face them, not run- and fade them from existence. Fade them ALL from existense 
I realize that I am a imperfect human being, .. very imperfect. 
The song dives into details about my personal self and life, and thoughts. 
But it's not about being perfect, it's about being right & true. To others, but most importantly the self. 
Lying to yourself yields no rewards. And you cannot run from yourself.. The Soul Warrior must fight the battles on the inside.. Vanquish the foe that could be yourself, your worst enemy. 

Thank you,
for listening and commenting, and everything that you do that is good in the world.

Fading Flaws: Produced/Mixed by Planet Ragtime [Lyrics in Description]

Hello again, I'm back from beyond, yielding yet again another track. 
While traversing the shadows, I've come to notice a great many patterns, in behaviour and desires.
Of both, those close and those random.. No real conclusion is truly drawn from my observations, but this particular song is an attempt to encapsulate a commonality that I see most tend to crave. 

I spend much of my time alone, and in those times, I am still capable of feeling intense enjoyment from different sources, and that enjoyment or excitement can be both physical and mental. 
Now, the important bit to note is that the mental enjoyment, can warp.. change almost completely to what once was, and also can be entirely dependant on other stimuli, such as mood, pressure or anxiety. 
But the body, on the other hand... is often more prone to 1 dimensional reactions. And the body, is much more reliable for gauging how one really feels.. 
The ninja knew this, and applied a wide array of body kinesthetics to understand not only of themselves, but also more of the world around them. 
If you feel physically ill to your stomach, no real amount of mental fortitude is going to negate such a fact. 
Where as a mental handicap such as negative thoughts focused on one thing.. can be altered by physical movement focus. And 1 undeniable trait, my body never fails to displays.. when I know that something is truly good.. is goosebumps.. such is the body showing you the truth. 
In conclusion, that's what this song is about. 

About seeking those things that give us, goosebumps... 
About the things that make is feel good, except with the last verse talking about ways we collapse into ourselves, and rob ourselves of feeling good.

It's an older song, written over a year ago.. but touched up to reflect my thoughts today. It's a more sombre tone, with production from https://soundcloud.com/diza-noventas. 
Much love Diza for lending me such a sound to express to. 

Lyrics Below. 


------------------------------ LYRICS ---------------------------------

INTRO VERSE 
I THINK I'VE FOUND, 
THE SOURCE OF MY STRUGGLES- 
TO MY SURPRISE-
IT WAS NONE OF THE TROUBLES- 
THAT I FACE DAILY, 
IT WAS WHAT I WASNT--- CHASING,  
THAT I FELT HAD DROVE ME CRAZY, 
NOT NECESSARILY 
BEING LAZY- 
ONLY COMFORTABLE: NERVOUS TOTHINGS CHANGING
EVEN THOUGH, 
FEELS LIKE LIFE'AH WASTING- 

WORRIED IF THE DECISIONS I'M MAKING -
ARE EVEN WORTH THE TIME TO MAKE IT. 
EVEN WORTH IT, 
NOT UNHAPPY IN THE MOMENT- BUT THE FUTURE, WHEN BROUGHT TO SURFACE, 
SEEMS BLURRY AND UNCERTAIN.

INTRO HOOK ---- X2 
OH,   
MY WONDERLUST,

I'M LOOKING JUST TO-
INTERMINGLE, TO TOUCH &FEEL THE TINGLE, 
NIMBLE WITH THE LINGUAL, SO-
TWINKLE TWINKLE- 
LITTLESTAR,  
THIS IS JUST A WINDOW
OUR BUILDINGS, ARE TOO FAR,
TOO GREAT TO REACH ACROSS
WE'VE GOT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS, AND MEET UP IN THE HALL, 
TO TOUCH, CONNECT AND TALK. 
BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT, 
WHAT I FEEL I NEED, IS ANOTHER BEING IN THIS MOMENT TO FEEL COMPLETE, 
SO I REACH-
SO I REACH-(DRUM CHANGE)
BUT IF IT WAS UP TO ME, IN THE END I WONDER STILL, WHO I WOULD SEEK.
WHO I WOULD CHOOSE TO BE BESIDE,  
OPPOSITES ATTRACT, BUT ALWAYS TEND TO BE ALIKE, 
IT'S ALMOST EVERYSINGLE NIGHT, 
I FIND THIS TOPIC WITH A FLASHLIGHT, 
WHEN SEARCHING INSIDE, THE CHAMBERS OF MY MIND. 

HOOK 
OHH
WE FEEL THE RUSH, 
FROM THE TOUCH TO TOUCH, 
FROM THOSE WE WISH TO LOVE

ON THOSE I WISH TO LOVE,
TO GIVE&GET GOOSEBUMPS, YES ------------------------
 
VERSE 2 
IT'S OKAY TO HAVE FLAWS, 
BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ANYSENSE, 
TO LET YOUR IGNORANCE, 
BE A MAJOR CAUSE IN YOUR DOWNFALL, 

ARGUMENT, OR A FIGHT, 
FROM WHAT STARTED AS A TALK-
ABOUT, 
WHAT IS RIGHT,  
ANDULTIMATELY- WHO IS AT FAULT, 
-WHO IS IN THE WRONG 
&ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING- I CAN SEE IT ALL-
&IN THE END,
WHEN EMOTIONS BE INVOLVED, 
EMOTIONALLY CHARGED ... &LIVING INSECURELY IN YOUR THOUGHTS, 
BEING CALLED OUT, OR BEING CAUGHT, 
ON THE FLAWS THEY WISH WERE FRAUD, 
IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING RIGHT - 
IT'S JUST FEAR OF BEING WRONG. 

WRONG&RIGHT, 
ARE NOTHING BUT DIFFERENT VIEWS ON LIFE-
THERES MORE IN STORE, 
EVENTHOUGH, IT'S NOT IN SIGHT. YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK INSIDE-
SO MANY LET THEM PASS IT BY- NO REASON, RHYME, OR WHY- 

BREAK --- 

HOOK BANK------------------------- 

OHH
WE FEEL THE RUSH,

FROM THOSE WE WISH TO LOVE      
TO GIVE&GET

THE GOOSEBUMPS,

OHH,
I FEEL THE LUST,

THE GOOSEBUMPS, YES - 
THE GOOSEBUMPS, 

OH,

Goosebumps: Produced by Diza XL [Lyrics In Description]

Good evening,
once again, as each day passes- so to does another night spent amongst the shade working on tracks. It's time to emerge with a fresh new sound.. 

This single is the first of my Still untitled Album with https://soundcloud.com/seizebeats-1
It's over 10 tracks deep thus far, and I'm very excited about the selection of vibes and sounds Seize provided. Much love my bro.
This one in particular was chosen to a few reasons erring on the side of relevance. 
In America today, our government has decided to shut down.. Why? 
Because of disagreement.. Conflict. 

If you look at it only on the surface, there seem to be various causes behind the battles and conflicts on the planet. 
But when you actually examine it, the fundamental problem is one of give-and-take. 
With every transaction we have with each other, what is my profit is
your loss and what is my loss is your profit. It is always give-and-take; someone makes
a little more, someone a little less. 
Whether it is within the family or between nations, this is the main problem. 

Sometimes in the process of living, we have to give in a way that may seem unfair to us. Or find ourselves in a position of natural disadvantage. But If we flare up within ourselves when these things happen, conflict in the world will be a natural consequence. 
If we don’t have peaceful human beings on the planet, having a peaceful world is just a pipe dream. 
That's what this song is about.. A simple message to 'think'. 
To think about everything just a little bit deeper, to attempt to perceive all angles, not just the one presented. To think on yourself in a greater way, to stop and examine the self. 
We here in the States have been raised and ingrained with certain values... 
But times are changing, and people are beginning to see that things are not exactly all that we've been led to believe. 

The 'American Dream' has been the ambitious fruit of many minds craving to taste. 
But as always.. one cannot be caught up in the spell.. 

They're shut down, but they're still getting paid-while thousands are furloughed.. 
It makes me wonder, what really is the plan.. looking back on all the 'changes' doesn't seem to work very well in our favor at all.. 
Stay sharp, now more than ever. 


Lyrics below 


------------------------------ LYRICS ----------------------------------




FIRST VERSE 

YOU MUST STOP, 
& THINK, ABOUT WHAT BE GOING ON 
"TERRORIST" THREATS & EXPLODING BOMBS, 
BEYOND THE VEIL, LIES THE CURTAIN, 
&BEYOND THAT, IS ONLY DISTURBANCE,
THESES SERPENTS, DON'T WANT TO BURDEN-
YA KIDS THOUGHTS, WITH EDUCATION OR PURPOSE, 
CONTINUE NON-CHALANT, 
MOS ALREADY SAID THEY SPYIN ON TH E PHONES-
IS THAT RIGHT OR WRONG? 
WHATS YOUR RESPONSE? 

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO FEEL? 
WHEN LIED TO, NOT SHOWN WHAT IS REAL, 
FROM REEL TO REEL-
THEY REVEAL, ONLY WHAT AIDS THEIR APPEALS, 
EVIL IDEALS, DO THEY HIDE& CONCEAL, THE REAL DEAL,
FROM THE PUBLIC EYE, 
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO THRIVE? 
IN A SOCIETY THAT LIES,  ONLY TAUGHT TO COLLIDE,
TO HARBOR HATE INSTEAD OF LOVE INSIDE. 

HOOK
THINK FOR A MINUTE, 
THINK RIGHT NOW. 
ITS ALL AROUND- THE CIRCUMSTANCE SURROUNDS- YOU.

THINK FOR A MINUTE
THINK RIGHT NOW  
LOOK AROUND- DON'T BECOME SPELLBOUND- NO 


VERSE2
I DON'T MEAN TO MISBEHAVE, 
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE MOST OF WHAT THEY SAY. 
THE ATTACKS IN THE LAST DECADE, BE FEELIN STRANGE. 
SOME WOULD GO SO FAR AS SAY  
MOST WAS EVEN STAGED. 
BUT AS FOR A SEPTEMBER DATE, A FATEFUL DAY-
I DON'T BELIEVE 
WAS ORGANIZED BY MEN IN CAVES. t
THROUGH THE PICTURE THEY PAINT, 
CAMPAIGNS ONLY ENTERTAIN- FEAR MONGERING,

IT SEEMS WE BEEN LED ASTRAY. 
CONSTRAINED TERMINOLOGY INGRAINED 
&NOW I SEEN THE LAWS FOR SECURITY, 
"FREEDOM HERE TO STAY"
FEAR PROMOTE CHANGE, FOR THE BETTER THEY'VE EXPLAINED. 
BUT WHY IT GETTIN WORSE, ON THE DAY TO DAY? 
FROM RETIREMENT AGE, TO GAPS IN WORKING WAGE, 
PERPETUAL-SLAVE-DEPT ECONOMY-
INCOME TAX, ONLY TO THERE TO PAY THE INTERESTS RATES. 

HOOK
THINK FOR A MINUTE, 
THINK RIGHT NOW. 
ITS ALL AROUND- THE CIRCUMSTANCE SURROUNDS- YOU.

THINK FOR A MINUTE
THINK RIGHT NOW  
LOOK AROUND- DON'T BECOME SPELLBOUND- NO 



VERSE 3 
DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THE SPELL, 
OF THIS LIFE- 
PEOPLE ARE NOT REALLY LIVING THAT WELL- 
THERES MORE LOCKED AWAY IN A CELL, THAN THEY WOULD REALLY CARE TO TELL-
&MORE HAVE BEEN FELLED, 
BY THEM DRUG CARTELS, & HEART DISEASE,
CLOTTED BLOOD CELLS, 
THAN EVER FELT,  - BY TERRORISM, 
& IT'S DEFINITION-
50 SHADES OF GREY, CALL IT CHRISTIAN-
LIVE LIFE THROUGH REPITITION, LIVE LIFE THROUGH SUBMISSION, 
I'M NOT TALKIN BOUT THE FELLOW MAN, BUT THE CONDITIONS THAT YOU LIVE IN. 
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU WANT MORE? 
THAN THE ENDLESS WARS? 
MORE JOBS, LESS GETTING OUTSOURCED , 
WHO THEY SPYIN TOWARDS? 
ON YOU AN ME & YOURS ? 
WRITING BULLSHIT REPORTS, 
I BE THINKIN, WHAT FOR ??? 
 



Peace,

SpellBound(America): Produced By SeizeBeats [Lyrics In Description]

Hello again, It has been sometime since my last jam, I welcome and thank all of you new followers! Everyday I am lucky enough to see someone new join in on the Shinobi style. 
All the comments and favorites, listens and repost make me feel very inspired to continue sharing these tunes pon the cloud and putting effort into something a bit grander in scope. 

Happy New Year, welcome 2014.. This song was a simple song, aimed at that idea. Welcoming in something new, starting anew. The theme of the song is equally as simple, taken from several sources of inspiration, most notably.. Master Yoda's wise words. 

"Do, or do not. There is no try'. In the same way, the flower doesn't try to bloom, it simply does. Blooming is part of the cycle, and that can very well be the same for mankind. Instrumental sounds and composition come from https://soundcloud.com/sicknessmp 
This instrumental is from one of his first beat tapes gracing the net. Please do check it out and cop it for cheap! The support is very much appreciated. 

You can grab that here: http://onesicknessmp.bandcamp.com/album/flowin-soul
Another notable piece of information worth relaying is that Sickness himself is going to be the second producer to lend sounds to the first official Shinobi Style Album, along with https://soundcloud.com/seizebeats-1. 

I am becoming very excited for the future, working with these two talented dudes. I hope you are too. Lyrics below.

THE FLOWER JUST BLOOMS,
WE MUST JUST BLOOM, 
JUST BLOOM,
ONE MUST JUST BLOOM. 

END.


Peace,

Bloom(On The Mind) Produced by: SicknessMP [Lyrics in Description]

Greetings once again, I am very glad to be able to bring another track from the mind to reality. It's never easy, not much really is 'easy' when it comes to creating.. Still though, I've been working a lot more at a regular boring old job, where what I do at home in my private time with the pen and mic couldn't be more irrelevant. 
It's easy to get absorbed in what is going on, especially when just trying to earn a little cash. I've been shifting my outlook and mental landscape a lot lately, nothing drastic from what I was already thinking, but one could say it's a natural evolution. 
The more one practices consciousness in their everyday life, the more conscious they become. 

I appreciate everyone that has recently followed, played, listened, Favorited, shared, any of the jams lately! I am eternally grateful to see the list grow each day, even if 1 by 1, and also thank you everyone for being patient with me and sticking around. 
I want to make and release more tunes, but as a 1 man crew my production can really take a hit. Seems like I'm kinda in the flow of 1 song a month, but I want to do more, there is no need for it to take so long. 


Speaking of the song, this song has been long in my mind, I got the instrumental a very long time ago from a great friend and source of endless inspiration from me: https://soundcloud.com/kickbackdsc Much love my broda for letting me express on the track. 
The songs topic or theme that one could say is near to my heart. 
We're surrounded by concepts(no pun intended) that mold our perception of the world. Here in America, celebrity culture actually is a very strong mental force, .. with magazines upon magazines, peers, actors and actresses, movies and tv constantly reinforcing the conceptualized version of beauty and attractiveness that most people accept and reinforce themselves without ever really realizing it. 

This song is meant to have an intimate sound to it, a raw and real type vibe, while also being sexually related - yet vulgar in no way. 
Long ago, I cast out those built pre-conceptions of beauty and image and since have tried rebuilding from the ground up what I consider to be beautiful, what I consider to be gorgeous. It is very often NOT what is portrayed in various forms of media, but what one could say is a 'real girl'. 
Someone who is natural, and not 'made to look' a certain way. There is no such thing as perfect, ever. Once you let go of that concept, you will find new power in your perception. 
And you will begin to see that although not perfect, one is still attracted, or still interested. 

That's what this song is about, noticing and thinking of one who isn't perfect, but right. 
One who possess the 'concept', the 'closeness' of what you believe to be real potential for love and intimacy. And then letting it flourish in love making that we humans are only capable of, our form of magic if carried out correctly. 

Much love extends from me to you, if your eyes fall on these words- we are already friends in life. 


Much Peace,

Da Shinobi, Malev

VERSE 1
"ON ANOTHER LEVEL", 
THAT'S ALL YOU CAN SAY- 
ONE COULD IMAGINE FOR DAYS, CONSTRUCT,
THE PERFECT FACE & BODY FRAME
-MAKE IT GREAT, &STILL FAIL TO EXPLAIN- WHATS ON  DISPLAY, 
THROUGH THE MINDS EYES WINDOW PANE, 
SHE FILLING UP THE PAGE, WITH ONLY HER FACE, 
WITHIN ME, WORDS SHE CREATES, 
EXPRESSION ELEVATE,
I GRAB THE BRUSH& BEGIN TO PAINT, 
WITHIN THE VOID-
THE MIND AN EMPTY REALM OF SPACE- CONNECT TWO BODIES, AS ONE PLANE- 
I WANT TO TOUCH&FEEL, 
BETWEEN THE FINGERPRINTS,   
TO TOUCH-IS,- TO HEAL, 
TO FEEL WHAT IS REAL- 
THE MIND, WOULD TRY& HIDE, 
THE BODY MAY REVEAL, 

HOOK------------------------
SHE GOTS THE CONCEPT, 
NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT, 
-NOT WHAT I EXPECT- 
BUT, I WON'T FIGHT, WHAT I'D LOVE TO ACCEPT, 
IT'S ALL CONSCIOUS, 
NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT,  
IT MAKES ME REFLECT, 
&I ACCEPT, MINDS CONNECT-

VERSE 2 
THE BODY HAS IT'S LIMITS- 
BUT THE MIND 
FOREVER INFINITE- SIMPLY THE POSITION, OR THE DISTANCE, 
LESSEN INHIBITIONS, 
AS AN ARTIST, SHE PUT ME ON COMISSION - 
WITH THE WRITTEN
STAYIN HIDDEN,  
PSYCHING WITH THE WIT- 
50SHADES OF 50 TINTS, 
&THEN IM LOST, 
GONE WITH THE WIND, 
FRANKLY, MY DEAR, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN - 
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND, 
TIME TO TAKE THE HAND---
THE MIND EXPANDS JUST TO GROW ANOTHER BRANCH... 
DEEP INTO THE LAND, WE FIND THE ROOTS	
YAMAKE ME WANT TO--
SPEAK TO YOU, THINK OF YOU, BE WITH YOU--
YAMAKE ME WANT TO--
SPEAK IN TRUTH, THINK IN TRUTH, BE WITH TRUTH
LET TRUTH INTO--

HOOK------------------------

VERSE 3 
NOW I CONFESS, 
WE MUST UNDRESS- 
IN THE NUDE-YES-LETS-LUST WITH WITH- 
NO, REGALIA,-- PASSION INTRAVENOUSLY 
INJECTED IN THE MANIA,
AS MEMBERS OF THE BEDROOM-GYMNASIUM, 
FORMS HARMONIOUSLY 
MISCELLANEOUS.  
THE SOUNDS THAT ESCAPE THE TRACHEA,
ECHO THROUGHOUT THE CHAMBERS OF, 
-THE CRANIUM
REMEMBERING THAT FOR DAYS TO COME- 
WHEN YA LUST  TO MAKE SOME LOVE, 
OH, JUST TO TASTE THE DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF- 
I WONDER IN DEEP THOUGHT, JUST TO REACH IT ONCE, 
GALACTIC INTERCOURSE, WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH- 
//
I WONDER IF I WAS, JUST TO TASTE IT ONCE, 
IF ONE TASTE WOULD REALLY BE ENOUGH-- 

HOOK 

END. 
Although not related thematically, this song was made with my late Grandpa in mind. May you Rest in Peace forever Grandpa, I thank you for this gift of a generation and life. 





Concept: Produced by KickBack [Lyrics in Description]

Hello once more, I'm glad to be back with another sound to share on the page! 
I am trying to become more and more dedicated solely to recording, not only in a literal sense, but in a mental sense as well. It can be taxing along with what else life brings.. often I only have a few days a week to record and completing a project to a degree that I am comfortable feels like it takes ages... I'm also trying to work on a visual aspect and will begin testing some things here very shortly. 

As for this song, I was really just going with the flow of life and connected immediately with the sound. I've been in contact with https://soundcloud.com/nadia-piet for awhile, over the net we've shared many ideas and words similar and diverse. She is an incredibly hard working and talented individual in many aspects, primarily focusing on promotional media and connectivity, spreading consciousness and ideas through her HipHop food-for-thought website: http://www.thetika.com/ if you have sometime, please do check out the site! 
To add on to her already layered skills, she tried her hand and beatmaking(no doubt with a little help from https://soundcloud.com/kickbackdsc!!) through traditional means and has made only two instrumentals, but despite that, when I heard them I immediately garnished interest. 

After some nights of inspiration, and imagination I came up with these words. The songs title is more complex than it's meaning, put simply, it means transformation. And that's what the song is about, an inner transformation that is one often needs, sometimes it is thrust upon us, forcing us to change. The first verse is about that, a situation in which one is required to transform ones mindset and consciousness to a new state and level. 
The second verse speaks of a daily active awareness of that fact, that one must remain conscious, and that getting lost in ego could be ones biggest downfall. 
The hook was written by Nadi herself, I just sung it. 

I wanted to keep the song simple, in it's make, and just kick a good vibe that is nice to listen to. 

Many thanks to https://soundcloud.com/nadia-piet for both the words and sounds, making this track has been really great for me, and I hope that if you're reading this, you're also enjoying the tune. Check the lyrics below if interested.

VERSE 1 
I WOKE UP THIS MORN,
FEELING A LITTLE OFF-
A LITTLE SORE, --- WASN'T IT MOMENTS BEFORE, 
THAT I FULLY EXPLORED, YOUR BODY & EVEN MORE?
NO FEELING WAS FORCED, 
ONLY LIFE--ENERGY COURSED,- I COULDA SWORE, 
THAT YOUR WARMTH, WASN'T MORE, 
THAN MAYBE 4 INCHES FROM MY SIDE.. IM SURPRISED, 
YOU ARE NO WHERE IN SIGHT, & I SIGH, - OH THAT'S RIGHT, 
SAW YOU OFF LAST NIGHT,-- & IT WAS I, WHO WALKED YOU TO THE GATE, 
WHEN WE PARTED WAYS,  I DIDN'T TURN AWAY
I WATCHED YOU WALK, AND KEPT YOU VISUALLY, IN MY AIM, 
I THEN IMAGINED YOU ON THE PLANE, 
&THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE, & NOW IT'S REPLACED, BY MEMORY. 
I SOFTLY SAY YOUR NAME. 

HOOK
IMA KEEP ON GRINDING, FOR ALL MY LIVING DAYS, 
IMA KEEP ON TRYING, UNTIL I FIND MY STRENGTH 
IMA KEEP ON CLIMBIN, UP UP AND AWAY
IMA KEEP ON SMILING, BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. 

VERSE 2 
I WOKE UP THIS MORN, 
&I WROTE A NEW SONG, 
&I'M WONDERING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SING ALONG
OUT OF BED I HOP, 
LOAD A BOWL - THROW A COUGH, 
YO, I CANNOT-FORGOT, WHAT IT IS THAT I GOT, 
TO DO, TODAY- EVERYDAY, 
GOTTA MAKE A CHANGE, 
THE MIND MUST REMAIN- SHARP LIKE BLADE, 
TO CUT THROUGH, WITH CLARITY - ANYTHING, THAT'S INDA WAY. 
ONE DOESN'T NEED 
DA NEGATIVITY, , 
LIVE CONCIOUSLY, &SEEK THE INNER PEACE, 
CUZ'AWELLYAH SEE THE -EGO-BE,
THE - SOURCE OF ALL DEEP, 
MISUNDERSTANDINGS, 
IF ONE WOULD ONLY SEEK. 
ONE WOULD SEE, WE ARE CLOSER THAN WE THINK


Much peace, and thank you.

Metanoia Produced by: 19Nadi3 [Lyrics in Description]

Greetings once again, I have returned with some more tunes to enhance the senses. 
I've been bringing out about 1 song a month, but I am wanting to change that.. and try to bring the number to 2 songs a month. It isn't something that is out of the realm of possibility.. but being a solo shinobi, things tend to take some time. 
Especially when I'm trying to branch out and bring some other levels to the music production, including photography, shooting video and editing video. 

Thank you for your continued support, comments, listens, likes.. It is greatly appreciated beyond what these words could ever convey. 
This song initially was just a lyrical exercise .. writing about something I considered fun, and more about 'me' personally than most of my songs are, talking about my feelings and what I think some days.. 
But, as the time went on while writing and making the song.. a few events took place that had a great effect on the outlook of the entire message of the song. 

The shooting down of commercial airliner, MH17.. where nearly 300 lives were gone in a few moments, and even more recently, the invasion of Gaza by Israeli forces. 
The death toll for innocent lives is very high.. and each day there are events that do not make the headlines where more innocent lives are brought into the path of destruction. 
For what?? 
I was wanting to make a song about staying focused, on the things that I felt were 'right'. 
About not being caught in the deviations of society, or the egoic mind. I see that a lot of people consider themselves decisive individuals, but.. I can also see that they live a life of constant change..
One can never arrive at the destination when the direction is constantly changing. This is what the song is about.. That the 'mind' is going to change, constantly.. It WILL. There is no choice in this matter.. If you look within yourself, I'm sure you could agree that most things that you have ever decided upon, have changed.. molded, formed to what IS..in REALITY..  not what is in your mind. That is what the song is about.. The mind changes, like the leaves in the seasons do. 

So understand the change, and try to not 'decide' all these things in the future, based on the past. We must be focused, present, alert in the NOW. The Past doesn't exist, the Future doesn't exist, not outside your imagination. Your entire life has unfolded only in 1 space. The infinite now, so focus on that time, and what is important.. Us, we.. Human life, and all forms of life.
Everything else is secondary, and since it is so, we must act as if so. 


Much love and Peace upon you, Thank you.. if you're reading these words now, please take a few moments out of your day to think over how you can inject change, goodness and love into peoples lives with your actions.. I know you can do it. 

It is not the action that will give you the reward, but the recognition on an inner level, that you have done something good to facilitate change, even in the course of 1 day..
It matters. Much love to Seize, for the instrumental.. and for always lending me sounds for my inspirations and giving me a space to express myself. 
Really means a lot to me.. Show Seize some love by visiting his SC page: https://soundcloud.com/seizebeats-1

Human: Produced By SeizeBeats [Lyrics in Description]

Hello again, I have returned from the under, with a new track for you to peep. 

What a surprise this was, for me. This song was in the works for sometime.. I'm very glad to blow the dust off it and finally bring it to the surface. 
Last time I wrote about bringing two songs a month out, and I still intend to do that... but, have been very busy in my personal life. 
Getting a job can be very time consuming.. Working 40 hours a week is as well. 
But at the same time, spending time working so much for someone else really makes me itch to make some new tunes and bring out more expression. 

This song was the result of a few talks over several meets and messages in local venues and online. There are many amazing local artist from my city that are really branching out and doing great things. (More so than myself!) 
It's been so long since the initial talk, that I don't remember what we were even speaking about, but myself and TetrisFingers(https://soundcloud.com/tsuruda) knew that we could connect to make a dope track. Something smooth, hip hop, but yet - still pushing the boundries a bit in the genre. 

The song is ultimately about 1 thing, an over attachment to thought. 
Complete identification with all things that stream through the mind... each thought, that arises, grabs you and takes you somewhere else. 
Very often, taking you out of the present physical moment, to an intellectual place, one that ultimately doesn't exist. 
Distracting you, from what is. 
It can be a good thing, and it can be a very bad thing. 

For me, it is becomes more of a problem, than it does anything else... I find myself thinking on things that will drag me down, change my mood for the worse, speculating over possibilities and outcomes, endlessly sometimes. 
The mind will do, what it does.. One can learn to be an observer of the thoughts, and bring a certain degree of control over them. 
Though, the control will be extended not to what thoughts arise, but which thoughts you choose to focus on. 

The mind will do what it does... it thinks. 
Otherwise, I hope that the songs lyrics speak for themselves.. and that you enjoy. 

Much love to Tetris/Tsuruda for the instrumental, and a chance to collaborate on such a soulful tune. 
Please visit his page, he is an artist of a varied nature, making tunes that expand outside conventional genre, and recently he broke 10K followers on the soundcloud page! (https://soundcloud.com/tsuruda)
It is great to see so many support, it makes me very proud to be from Salt Lake City.

AS A HUMANBEING, WHO'S ALIVE, 
JUST LIVING A HUMAN LIFE.

Distractions: Produced by TetrisFingers [Lyrics in Description]

Greetings, 
it has been quite sometime.. 

Music hasn't been flowing in the same way.. but as is the way of the universe, energy is always moving, transferring. 

A new job, other artistic outlets, and study keeps me occupied completely.(and games and shit too).
I very much appreciate all the new follows and support that comes fourth each day. While I toil in mundane affairs at the day job It genuinely surprises me that people still continue to show love, and follow. 

I don't know where you come from, do tell me. I am very interested to know. 
I wanted to share a project that was long in the works, but still released some time ago. 

Teaming up with @https://soundcloud.com/mpadrums The track is part of a larger work, a international collaborative effort. Limited press 12 inch viny, this track is entitled 'Da flow' and I'm the only English speaking MC on the piece.
Myself on the vocals recorded in the bedroom, Mpadrums did virutally everything else.

I suppose if one were to infer, the notion behind the song is about martial things in aspect. Improvement, combat, skill & strategy. 

A small part of the ShinobiStyle.

Da Flow: Produced by MPadrums [Lyrics in Description]

Greetings, once again. 

A great deal of time has passed since our last meet. It is with great pleasure I bring a new tune for you to listen to. 

I know it's been slow here on SC, but I must thank those who continue to show support, even during the down times. 
As an independent artist with a great deal of varied interest both productive and to detriment, I find myself being pulled in many directions without any strong polarization.

In truth the world has just been so interesting(and horrifying) to watch lately that it's hard to not be caught in the swell of the waves. So many recent social changes and events have taken place it will make your head hurt if you try to understand the greater picture from what takes place.

America sure is a strange place to live in these times. Interesting too.

But as the gigantic ball of chaotic beautiful energy swirls around the individual, the grasp of impact and change can escape oneself when feeling microscopic in comparison to the world. 
So instead of the macro - we focus on the micro, discover and focus on the areas of meaningful impact that we can actually forge with our own hands and minds. 

That is what this particular song is about. 

Reaction is akin to reflex. We often build up a reflex due to conditioning, it can be both of physical, and mental conditioning that bring about this reflexual reaction to a circumstance. 

When we have been scarred in the past, by a lover - or an physical injury. We may develop certain reactions to things that to us, resemble those pains. 

Have you ever reacted out of anger, triggered by a behavior or your lover that you cannot stand? Caught in a passion of instant expression. Only to regret what was said, or have to shamefully bury that regret deep inside. 
Reflex's and reactions can be good. 

But to the mind- they are not. Reaction of any form is a signal of conditioned behavior, and conditioned behavior is unconscious behavior. 

One cannot go beyond their own set of limitations of they cannot recognize this. 

Don't react. Respond. 
A response, is a considered - consciously aware statement. Quite different from a reflex that fires off without thought at all. 
In line with the rest of the hook - it comes down to honest, consciously reflected upon thought, that translates to statements that resonate with power, able to meet any moment correctly. 

Unlike a conditioned reflex, only able to react to a certain set. 

This song was a happy accident of sorts. 
The lyrics come from a different, unused source, where i was able to find a new sound to make them home. 

I thank you for reading, and listening. You have my gratitude.

Much love to @https://soundcloud.com/mordbeat for the production.

Respond: Produced By Mordbeatwrx [Lyrics in Description]

Hello again, I'm back this weekend with another short song. 

I know I've taken a hiatus in the output of tunes for the better part of 2015, but no matter how deeply I find myself involved with a particular situation, my introspection kicks in an in some ways I can objectively distance myself from things I enjoy for the sake of study and understanding. 

This process can be detrimental to productivity, as it is highly thought oriented, and anything that is mostly thought, will bring about less actual result. 

A balance between thought, action, and experience must be struck for progress to be made. A focus entirely in one direction of the three will result in an imbalanced view point from which one takes. 
If you truly want to remain open, you must go in many directions and not take sides. 

Not always easy. 
I ran across @https://soundcloud.com/jinsfake and ended up writing a few things to some instrumentals. Created this jam with the intention of simply personal expression. The song more or less speaks for itself. 

Thank you for reading and listening. 

Lyrics below.

Spica: Produced By Jonny Battleseed [Lyrics in Description]

Greetings, 

Coming all the way from Poland, Zone and I decided to get down on a short & simple track. 
Many thanks to Zone, @https://soundcloud.com/zone12bit for letting me use the instrumental for expression! 

The song I didn't really want to get to fancy with, and just stick with what came to me while listening to the beat. 
I was beginning to catch myself, thinking about things, far beyond my comprehension and skill level, -- And yet noticing how uncomfortable I became when I would do so. 
But at the same time, I laughed, as here I was scaring myself with my imagination and nothing more. Making myself uncomfortable and doubtful - of something that more or less is nonexistent in no place but in my mind. 

The mind can be pretty devious, especially with it's ability to absorb information from our surroundings, and to compile and build with that information a new world in our imagination from which we can begin to draw our fundamental beliefs. 

The world is a big place. It's nature is sometimes unknowable, in what happens to us, and around us.. It can be seemingly random, and sometimes, It can feel like the result of conscious effort, - or even that of divine intervention, or destiny. 

Our society, places a lot of importance on the 'outside', of us, what we do - Where we go, who we see - what we watch and like to read. 
As if THESE are the things that will express and define us. 

It isn't so. The hook i write speaks of the cultivation of the self, and how - no matter what you do in the outside world, if you are not straight on the inside, in your mind-
fixed in your beliefs with those beliefs instilled upon the heart in an unwavering way-

You shall never falter from your path, for the path, will be the self. 
And you will have developed a love for treading on the inside. 


Peace,
Malev

OF THINKING BEYOND WHAT-ONE CAN INTERPRET?

PULLING BACK THE VEIL&TEARIN DOWN THE CURTAINS,

I LOOK FOR INNER FORTUNE. THAT INNER FORTUNE, 
LOOKING FOR THE DEEPER MEANING, EXHALED IN EACH BREATH-

Hello again! if you're reading this, you have my deepest gratitude. 

This song originally started out as a personal piece of writing. 
Kind of like a reminder, to myself about some certain things I should remain mindful of. 

I spend a lot of my time alone, and there are both times of good and bad within that. 
I've mostly grown up by myself, in my most personal times of self discovery I was more or less on my own. If not in the physical sense, then the mental sense where I'd find myself having some sort of epiphany all to myself while surrounded by others. 
And now, here trying to do music, I've found myself yet again alone in my ambitions. 
But this time, the decision was in careful examination.. with the past, and the self. 

I have many peers, amazing ones at that here in my hometown. And there are many outlets I think i could pursue to take things to the next level. But I do not want to. 
Not in that way. As hard as this is, by myself, for whatever reason I feel as If i know with certainty, that I forge on by myself - the Results will be so much greater in the end. 

So, here I am, by my lonesome trying to carve the path I feel is true. 
And that is the message that is laced into the song - The concept of the Soul Warrior, which in some sense we all are. The Soul Warrior is the warrior who fights your battles on the inside of you, your conscious in which you debate all manner of things. And in this struggle, often you are alone.. No one to help, no one to hear what you say inside. No one to respond to those unheart words.
Only you, standing against and with yourself, alone in the darkest of nights. 
We all must fight on the inside, but what matters on the outside, is for whichside on the inside we fight. 
Do we fight because we feel strong? Or do we fight because we feel weak?

Answering this question.. will shed light on many aspects of the character you posses. 
So please look inside and examine the battles you fight. 
Cultivation on the inside, only meanings blooming from the inside- bursting to the out.

INTRO/VERSE 1 
SEE WELL'AH, 
LET ME GET UP INTO
I'M NOT TRYING TO WIN- THOUGH, I'M NOT TRYING TO LOSE,
THESE ARE ONLY TERMS USED, 
TO DESCRIBE A TRUTH - & ONE, THAT YOU MUST CHOOSE, 
TO ACCEPT, OR DISAPPROVE- 
UNTIL PAID DUES-
THE ONLY ONE WALKING IN YOUR SHOES IS YOU,
&WHAT IS SEEN IN THE VIEW, -IS NOT ALL ARE IN-TUNE
OR THINK--
THE SAME THOUGHTS THAT YOU THINK, 
OR KEEP--
THE VALUES THAT YOU KEEP, &TO EXPECT THESE THINGS,  
IS A FOOLS DEED, 
&I PERCEIVE 
ALL DETAILS THATS KEY,- TO THE INNER PEACE, PIECED BEYOND SKIN DEEP.

SOUL-WARRIOR-ALONE IN THE NIGHT.  


VERSE 2 @ 1:11
WHEN LIFE, SERVES TO CHOKE, 
OR CURVE THE THROW- I VANISH, 
IN DA SHINOBI-SMOKE- 
WITH A ROAST, OF MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS-
GROWN FROM GROUND BEAN,& GROUND UP LEAVES- 
I CLOSE MY EYES TO SEE- 
INNER EYESIGHT DEEP, THOUGHTS-STRING,&DREAMWEAVE--
&THE WAY THAT I WOULD THINK, 
IS MY SOLE GREATEST STRENGTH,  
AND YET- IT'S PRECISELY WHAT WOULD MAKE ME WEAK- 

BUT AS A SOUL WARRIOR, 
ONLY OPPONENT THAT I SEE- ISA REFLECTION OF ME.
AND THIS LESSON, 
I THINK IS IMPORTANT TO RECEIVE, &PERCEIVE, 
NOT TO CAST ASIDE, ONLY TO REMIND, 
WHEN YOU'RE LOSING THE  FIGHT, 
&THERE'S NO ONE AT YOUR SIDE. 
AT THAT TIME, WE FIND -- INSIDE, WHATS RIGHT
OUR INNER SOURCE OF LIGHT,
THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT-
TO STRIKE-THE FEAR FROM THE NIGHT SKY. 

HOOK:
I SEEK THE STILLNESS OF THE MIND, 
TO CALM THE INNERFIGHT- THAT ONE FIGHTS ON THE INSIDE-
THE FIRE BURN BRIGHT-
SOUL-WARRIOR-ALONE IN THE NIGHT.

Stillness(Soul Warrior): Produced by SeizeBeats [Lyrics in Description]



Hello again, 
I am back once more with another fresh new jammy.. 
I was intending to switch things up, and make something a little bit more upbeat this time.
But after the recent events, in Boston, and just opening an eye to more global events.. 

I felt that the tone and subject of this song would reflect that sort of wind, that seems to be blowing.
Many thanks to @https://soundcloud.com/sicknessmp for the sound. Such a fine instrumental!
This instrumental was one of the first ones he showed me, very long ago.. 
It was a bit shorter than this version too- He ended up losing the file due to harddrive issues.
But I still have mine! 
I had to cut the ends and re-loop to make the song a proper length, to sing the hook the way I wanted.

Looking at the content of the song, it's theme is a personal one. 
In short, one could say it's about trying to be right, and correct - in hard times despite. 
Remaining true to the self, and those that you love. And in that way, It reflects my views on the world. With recent 'terror' attacks around the globe.
I feel that something is wrong if you're not stopping to ask yourself which side of the field you stand on.. 
To those that would do harm, I feel they would only do so- because they do not know how to use words.. 
We need not betray one another.

The first verse talks about being unsure of why certain things happen, why they may be hard to deal with..
And ultimate coming to the conclusion, that It seems that I may be feeling pain for a reason.. 
A good reason. So I feel must explore that, to learn about myself even more, taking things to the next level. 

There is also bit of ambivalance to the 2nd verse, feelings that contrast. 
Questioning why it is I even do the things I do- Other than the feeling I feel, that urges me to do it.
There are no real answers, so to speak, things only reveal themselves very slowly.. why it is that I want to make tunes, and write. 
It ends with bits about connection, old and new, do strong connections in life happen for a reason?
And If so, do those bonds become intertwined akin to destiny? 

I wonder.. 


Really appreciate you taking the time to listen to the jam, it took me a few weeks of no contact and struggle to complete it. 
I am glad it's done. 

Feed back always welcome. 

Peace, 

Malev

VERSE 1 
I FEEL, 
I NEED TO SUFFER MORE, 
INORDER TODISCOVER, WHAT FOR, 
SO THE THE PAIN I EXPLORE, THROUGH SUBCONCIOUS THOUGHT, 
TO LATE NIGHT TALKS, I TELL MYSELF-  'YES, I CAN ENDURE,'
THIS IS WHAT IT IS TO BE MATURE, 
VERY LITTLE FOR SUPPORT, EVERY LESSON OBSCURE, 
IN WORLD WHERE ONE IS TAUGHT, 
THAT THE WAY TO PROGRESS, 
AND THE WAY TO PROCURE, IS TO ENSURE THAT YOU ONLY OUT FOR GETTING YOURS. 
THAT'S HOW IT SEEM, HARD TO BELIEVE, 
WHAT HAS BECOME & TRANSFORMED, OF THEE AMERICAN DREAM- FOREVER LOST. 
BUT---------------
I HOPE THAT I AM WRONG, AS IT SEEMS, 
I'M GONE IN DREAMS AND IN MY IMAGINATION
MY INTERPRETATION OF THEWAYEVENTS HAVE CULMINATED, 
IT SEEMS I'LL NEVER MAKE IT, SOMEDAYS FEELING FAITHLESS, 
BUT I KNOW, I'LL BE OKAY
IF I STAY PATIENT 

JUST STAY PATIENT.....   UPON DE DAILY BASIS,

HOOK ------- X 1 
THEY SAY, TO PERSUE-
PATIENCE,&
TO SEEK, VIRTUE,   
EVEN ON DAYS, 
WHEN IT HURTS YOU, TO STAY TRUE-DON'T BETRAY-- 

VERSE 2 
I SEEK 
& FEEL IT DEEP,   
THAT I NEED TO LET FLOW THE INK
- LET SOOTH & SOAK,
JUST LET IT GO - FROM THE PIT OF MY STOMACH 
THERE MUST EXIST A HOLE. 
THAT I NEED TO FILL - FUELLING FIRES, LIKE A COAL, SHOVELED, DUG - HEAVED & HO'D 
BURNING LOW, 

ONCE CONNECTED, DO YOU REALLY EVER LET GO? 
ONCE ROOTS IS SEWN, 
BUT, NO LONGER WHOLE-
DOES IT STUNT THE GROWTH? 

I'D LIKE TO THINK NOT, 
AND I'D LIKE TO THINK SO- 
BECAUSE SOMEDAYS I DONT', YET SOME I FEEL IT IN MY BONES, 
THAT I WANT TO KEEP CLOSE & 
I WANT TO TO CALL HOME, 
WHERE THE NECK BE EXPOSED, TO NESTLE & FEEL THE WARMTH, 
CUZ I'VE BEEN FEELING -- YO..
CUZ I'VE BEEN FEELING COLD.

Don't Betray: Produced By Sickness MP [Lyrics in Description]

This was a short song I put together over the weekend, after some troubling events. 
The instrumental comes from https://soundcloud.com/sotozen-3 
I downloaded the instrumental quickly, and began to write. 
I guess you could call it therapy.. It's the only thing I know how to do in response. 

Nothing crazy or, profound. 
The song is about confusion, in a sense. Being clouded from events, that happen. 
Not being sure of what you always want, and at the same time, being out of reach for the things you are sure you want. 

Song was written in about an hour, the recording process took the better part of a Monday. 
Thanks for peeping, hope that you enjoy the song.

INTRO


VERSE 1
I QUESTION ALWAYS, THE DISTANCE PUT BETWEEN US, 
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TOUCH OF THE FINGERS, 
EMOTIONAL RESPONSES TRIGGERED, GO FIGURE-
SPIN CYCLE THROUGH THE RINGER, 
&I SIT THERE, 
STRETCHED OUT REACHING, REACHING, 
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS EVEN THINKING, 
HEAD STRONG BELEIVING,  
MIGHT LEAD ONE OFF THE DEEP-END, 
I FEEL FORCED, 
NOW I'M RETREATING, FROM A FEELING, 
THAT SEEM'D MISLEADING, BUT SEEMING, 
TO BE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SEEKING, 
OR MAYBE NEEDING, 
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY, 
AND WHEN I'M DREAMING, 
WHEN BOTH GET MY HEART BEATING, 
BOTH LEAVE MY CHEST HEAVING, 
HEAVY BREATHING-
WAKIN UP SUDDENLY, FROM SLEEPIN. 

WHATS THE MEANING? 
WHATS THIS FEELING? 


WORKING HOOK
I DON'T KNOW, WHY, 
THIS EVEN MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY... 
IN THE SMOKE, 
I FADE AWAY 

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS,
THAT MADE ME FEEL THIS WAY IN THE FIRST PLACE. 
TRIPPIN DOWN MEMORY LANE, 

GET ME AWAY.

Hello Again. I'm comin to ya with another live jam, which is my submission for Diza's latest album, Hardcore Instrumentals Vol 3. Much love the my broda Diza for letting me participate on this project and for proving yet again another great jam to throw some styles too. Check out his page here: https://soundcloud.com/diza-noventas 
I'll update the description with the download link for the album when It drops. 

I didn't have too long to work on this track.. but I did what I could the best that I could. 
The theme of the song was 'wisdom' and Diza asked me to try and write something along those lines and also challenged me to integrate some actual 'wisdom' into the track. 

I took it a  bit literally, and wrote the verses about that. 'Word is born' - such phrases, good conversation and real talk. And how those are things I cherish.. Much love to any of the Hip Hop heads that I've  had the pleasure to have some real talks with about what we both feel is real, the music. 

Hook is simple, I didn't want to over due it, wanted to focus strictly on rapping + the spoken word piece at the end. I hope that you enjoy this kinda of track. I wanted to do something a little fresh for those who've been kind enough to listen thus far. Much love. 


---------------------------------------- LYRICS BELOW ----------------------------------------------


WORD IS BORN, 
WORD IS BORN, 

VERSE 1
I PASS THE PHRASE TO ONE CLOSE,
WHEN WE SPEAK, OR EXCHANGE NOTES, 
&I AGREE-OR WE AGREE-
BOTH OPINIONS HELD RESPECTFULLY, 
IN A WORLD WHERE SUCH BARELY EXPECTED TO BE, 
HONESTY & REAL TALK IS A RARITY IT SEEMS. 
&I SPEAK AND SEEK FOR CLARITY EVERYTIME THAT I BREATHE, 
OR DIPS THE PEN INTO THE INK, 
SITTIN IN SILENCE WHEN I THINK, 
I CLOSE THE EYES, 
&LET THOUGHTS SINK, ABYSSAL, THE PLANE DEEP-
IT'S WHERE I WANDER, & WHERE I SEEK, 
WHO INDEED, WOULD LIKE THE STYLE THAT I SNEAK, 
WHEN UPON A BEAT. LYRICALLY MY SHEEN SHINE PRISTINE 
THAT'S WHAT I NEED, 
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS 


WORKING HOOK-

SPOKEN WORD IS DEFINED, 
YOU'VE GOT TO SEEK & FIND, 
PEACE TO REST THE MIND. X4


VERSE 2 
I'M SEEKIN THE HIGHER LIFE ENERGIES, 
TO HAVE PLENTY, IN MY RESEVOIR READILY, 
TO ACCESS KNOWLEDGE, BORNE OF A DIFFERENT CENTURY, 
LOOKIN FOR GREAT MINDS, I GO TO SEEK EXEMPLARY, 
ESSENTIALLY SENSING EXTRA SENSORY, 
WHATS MEANT TO BE PHYSICAL, TRANSLATE TO MENTALLY
DEEP THOUGHTS FOR MEMORIES, POTENTIALLY EMBEDDED THE MEMORY, 
&YESYAKNO  MY ENERGY-
IS A LITTLE MIX OF IT ALL,
THE GENRE BE CALLED, 
NON-FICTION, IMAGINARY, 
STUDY WHATS NECESSARY 
ALL FORMS& TYPES OF ART
BUT I'M NOT CONTEMPORARY IN MY THOUGHTS. 
INTERPRETATION, IS MY MARK, 
AS  DICTATED BY STARS,  
&I'M COMPELLED FROM THE HEART, 
TO KEEP MY MIND SHARP, 
WITH THE ANGLE&THE ARC, IT'S LINES I RIPS APART, 
WHEN MOST KATS IS, 
AFRAID TO BE OR SAY,  WHO THEY EVEN REALLY ARE. 

SPOKE PIECE: 
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS SUFFERING, EITHER WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, OR WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. LIVING IN YOUR MINDS, THE FEAR IS ALWAYS, ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. 
MEANING THAT THE FEAR&SUFFERING IS ALWAYS ABOUT THAT WHICH DOES NOT EXIST. 
IF YOUR FEAR IS ABOUT THE NON-EXISTANT, YOUR FEAR IS 100% IMAGINARY.
MIND, 1 PART IS MEMORY, 1 PART IS IMAGINATION, 
BOTH OF THEM ARE IN A WAY, IMAGINATION BECAUSE BOTH DO NOT EXIST RIGHT NOW. 
THE FEAR IS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LIVING WITH LIFE, YOU'RE LIVING IN YOUR MIND,
YOU'RE LOST IN YOUR IMAGINATION, THAT IS THE BASIS OF YOUR FEAR.
IF YOU WERE ROOTED IN REALITY, THERE WOULD BE NO FEAR.


The spoken word piece is a re-written speech from a Yogi that I take personal inspiration from: Sadhguru, peep the original source material video from which I paraphrased here: http://youtu.be/uV_CGpMsEhY

He has many more videos on many other topics. Feel free to peep if you're into that sort of thing. 


Peace,

Greetings. I should probably be sleeping or something like that, but Instead I stayed up late to make a cool track that I was feeling. I wrote the song over the course of an afternoon two days ago, after getting this beat from a kat I've been following for a while, always diggin his sounds. 

Very glad that Jatos let me get on the beat, when I heard it - with the cool Q-tip sample.. the vibe was instantly set. 
https://soundcloud.com/jatos 
Check out his stuff, he's got plenty of sounds for them ears. 

I recorded the track today, starting with the hooks. Just trying to make something easy going to listen to, but at the same time, lyrically interesting and delivered in an exciting way that wasn't normal, really not too hard of a task with a beat that allows such. 
The song is about obvious, spreadin love - Among other things, it talks about my particular love, and desires, and talks about the inherent desire to constantly stive to be better, each day. 
We all have our different paths, and desires- was for dealing with things.. 

But we all seek, and want to feel love, in it's many forms. It's part of being human. 

Thanks for checking it out, I sincerely hope that you enjoy.

IN HOPES TO CHANGE YOUR FATE,   
THAT'S WHY LOVE IS GREAT
