The WowApp Cypher Series...

This is the 3rd song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I have worked on together for my CKP page. I wanted this latest track to continue with the electronic hip hop vibe we had established with our previous two tracks.  Bitzone dug into his rich production archive and found a beat 10 years deep that met the criteria. This time I sent the track first to Frawstakwa to switch things up, since the last two songs I had started off. Frawstakwa came up with these deep metaphysical verse and chorus lyrics and I added a literal interpretation with my verse that I hoped would complement his meaning while keeping in theme with the previous two tracks. Bitzone then worked his magic and transformed the track into an electronic hip hop rock fusion. And then for a final surprise, he asked Joerxworx to join in with some futuristic EWI. In the end, I like that this track is different from It Ain’t Looking Good and Trendsetting and I think it points at a possible new direction for the next track we all work on together. 

Thank you for all your listenings, comments, playlists, radio spins, and purchases. The musical team is eternally grateful. 
Don’t loose hope, keep faith in yourself and your community, be creative, and persist.

Lyrics

Oh, this is just great 
Yo, gimme a break 
No, Freudian slip made
So, it’s no mistake
Go, psycho analyze it 
Though, am I insane
In the membrane
Or normal
It’s weird right?
We’re here but so briefly
Mere mortals
Appears our fate is foretold
How unfortunate 
Of course there’s this
Who says we have to forfeit free will
Forget about it
We are forward thinkers 
And forces of nature
Scratch that - supernatural
Look at how we have grown
And evolved
Lets explore
What’s beyond
What is known 
And accepted by all
Be omnidirectional 
Slow, in the fast lane 
Flow, like a mixtape
For, goodness sake
Over and over again 
Face total
Loss of control
Lack of faith
Don’t trip though
Effects cause vertigo
Catch wreck, let ‘em know
Fact check, general 
Search, research
Both the world and the earth
First you learn
Then you teach
Art and culture
To reach out and touch 
All of the people 
Them, no doubt indeed

What difference does it make
If at any given rate
The only thing that matters in the end is too late

What difference does it make
If at any given rate, yo!

Have you ever felt alone
In a place so dark, so vast, so cold

Everyday I pass by
The same lame busted gate 
The same 
Boarded up broken windows and
Old rusted grates
The same
Overflowing trash cans continue to accumulate with a ever-growing stench that won’t abate 
It’s the same
Neighborhood cats talking smack on da crates 
It’s the same
Families falling flat with not enough food on their plates
I’m passin’ by the same
Kids in baseball hats standing wet in wait 
Out there gettin’ rained on cause the bus is running late 
It straight 
Hasn’t changed at all 
What difference does it make
I’m still awake at dawn 
Exerting on 
Getting my debt rate gone
Word is born
What difference does it make
Cause pass generations gone
Still couldn’t pass it on
What difference does it make

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
Things just stay the same

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
We keep on playing games

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
There really isn’t even anything else left for me to say

Something Brand New feat. Frawstakwa

It was a hard piece of work, but it was worth it: 
As part of an artist grant from the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of NRW/Germany in the wake of the Corona pandemic, a piece of music was created that consists of 6 different arrangements and involved 6 artists including a blackbird.
The piece is in the tradition of the Hip Hop-Cyphers as well as in the interlaced compositions of 70s Prog-Rock.
The goal was to connect the individual parts so that in the end a homogeneous but multi-layered overall work comes out.
I think that has succeeded!
Of course, this was only possible because I found really excellent fellow musicians, big thanks to Couch King, Christian Kappe, Lady of Fire Poetry and Frawstakwa! And of course to Blackbird "Miles" for his wonderful jazzy chirping.

Lyrics in order of appearance:

Lyrics Lady of Fire Poetry:
Not Alone
We are fragments of one another
Breathing in bits of you bits of me
We came exploding out from nothing
But gravity
Crashing into each other
Making this pretty wave called humanity
We love by trial and error
We follow our hearts
reaching the center of ourselves
Each beat a musical beacon
So we may explore our horizons
then reach a familiar shore
When you are lost again
Remember you are never alone
Come back to home

Lyrics Couch King:
Everyday looking clues 
Ashtray’s, dinners, and booze 
Dossiers, hard drives, and blues 
They’s lost reality from watching the news 
I gain the truth from being a recluse 
Nothing to loose 
No one left to cut loose 
Leave no print from my shoes 
Cold stone stare like medusa 
Old bones don’t care I accuse ya 
Poker face beware I confuse ya 
Short lace thin hair Short fuse 
Mean street bruisa, I paid all my dues ah 
Hot on my tail but still I refuse 
To get off the trail 
Of shady interviews 
Digging up fools 
Gold to derail 
Encrypted email 
I must be getting too close 
The woke got no time to doze

Lyrics Frawatakwa:
trials
and tribulations
who 
is even asking though
‘cause seriously you never know
could just be inner dialogue
with me myself and I 
besides
what 
would you want to know
all that for anyway though
c’mon I’m sure you’ve got problems
of your own on your mind
so
where
will we even go
to from there 
who could know
and how can any outcome
that we happen to arrive 
at
when
all is said and done
be considered satisfactory
if it comes at a price
that’s too much to pay
tell me why
why
should I continue 
to carry on a mission
which has proven itself 
to be so difficult 
as if it isn’t 
is it the human condition
controlling decision making
or am I following visions
unique to my third eye

an exercise in sacrifice
yet it’s fine
yeah 
that’s right

everything I do 
is for the greater good
playing nice

never mind 

hammer strikes
the anvil twice
sparks will fly

What to Know

Think About It Frawstakwa Dream (remix)

The next track in a Corona artist grant (NRW/Germany).
Without many words. The words are in the music.  
Jazz meets beats and rap and there's a surprise at the end.

Lyrics:
Frawstakwa:
What’s it like outside?
Hmmm
Looks nice
On and on
The calm
Before the phenomenon

Attention please
As we interrupt 
Whatever it is 
That you’re doing
Out there because
We’ve just discovered 
That a storm has been brewing

CKP:
A storm has been brewing
It’s coming for us
Out there because
Of what they are up to
A body corrupt 
Attention please
 Frawstakwa: 
Reports are coming in 
From multiple locations 
A shift has been noticed
Something’s in the air 
As the rains begin
They bring with them a wave of
Gale force winds
Bearing down on a tear

CKP:
Impervious the pavement
Water in the basement
Sewer line displacement 
Overload the system 
Waste water victim 
Flowing back 
Treatment plant
Out of capacity 
Waterborne catastrophe 
 
Frawstakwa & CKP:
Storm of the century 
Rising from the heat
Music in the streets 
Stalled front’s no time to chill
Traffics at a stand still
living takes the backseat 
Dancing to the beat

Pitter patter
The rain drops

Frawstakwa:
Hail sleet and snow
Barometric pressure
Should never be this low
At this time of year
Conditions are close
To surpassing the threshold
God bless the souls
Who couldn’t steer clear
 CKP:
Infrastructure hardened
In climates regarded 
As colder while in
Grids less resilient 
Demand spike fulfillment 
Is less than sufficient 
Left as deficient 
This crisis will see less lives lived

Frawstakwa:
Flood waters are rising
Quickly icing over
Placing many drivers
In danger take care
Traffic is grinding
To a halt 
Hear the sound 
In the distance 
Of horns as they blare

CKP:
Don’t attempt to travel
As emotions unravel 
Unless you’re in a fragile
Situation in need of
Quick evacuation retreat of 
The basement 
Low income displacement 
Outta compliant encasement 

Frawstakwa & CKP:
Storm of the century 
Rising from the heat
Music in the streets 
Stalled front’s no time to chill
Traffics at a stand still
living takes the backseat 
Dancing to the beat

Frawstakwa:
Improving conditions
Refreshing 
Washing away 
In such a rush
The light thud
Of droplets 
Upon window panes
Out of reach
Out of touch

CKP:
Where 
Do we 
Go from here
When tenants have
To live in fear
When there
Housing can’t 
Withstand 
Severe
Weather conditions  

Frawstakwa:
The skies
They are clearing
The water subsiding
What puddles remain
Children splash without care
Whatever we’re going through
Weather the storm 
No matter what 
Anytime anywhere 
 
Frawstakwa & CKP:
Storm of the century 
Rising from the heat
Music in the streets 
Stalled front’s no time to chill
Traffics at a stand still
living takes the backseat 
Dancing to the beat

~ Come ~

What you wanna say when they left ye down....
Left nothing to win, even in yer family...
a hidden sin in the core...
What ye wanna say when there`s nothing to say anymore...
What  ye wanna do when ye`re a kind of beeing...
always seeing bad things come...in the past...
because worse things passed and broke yer wings...at last..
Keep it up n change

Keep attention my friend, the world is complicated...
and will be until the end...
Hope the lord will come and spend his breath...
to free us from the worse and a suffering death...

There is a heart in yer cheat...
Believe ye will recieve the best...
Let`s hope love will be last!!
Let us move to the west..
to be wild wild and free; hope ye understood me...

Be positive for ye self and stay...
Put all the negative thoughts away...
Hope for a better way...
We`re only human clay..that is wakin` upp..
So let us rise and never stop...

~ A Journey Through Sound ~

I want to make a journey through the sound with you...
I want to share the feelings of my heart with you...
Out of my mouth my voice...
I sing this song for you...Today this is my choice...
I want to walk a part of your way with you...
Can you see the clouds in the sky...
Can you feel the sound...Can you hear me try to do?
I want be like the light, breaking through the dark...
like the morningf light...
I want to send my vibes to you...
I want to try to be true...
I want be like the sun...in the sky for you...
I want to warm yer heart...
Can you hear me try?
I want to take you high...

Let us dive into the sound and let`s see what comes arround...
Let us fly like the clouds and let us flow with our mind...
with the river of sound....
Let`s see what we dream...Let love comes arround...
Can you hear me try...
Can you feel the sound...
I want be like the light you found...
breaking through the dark...like the morning light...
I want send some vibes to you...Like a litting spark
I want to try to be true with this song...
I want to shine like the sun..to chase away the dark...

how did they know that I would flip out with the flows?
was it something I said? assuming so but I suppose
that that’s the way that it goes like how else could I ever hope
to upload a viral video as a post?
 I’m nowhere near a pro but if by chance I get close
I’ll continue to show integrity gotta have soul
in this twilight zone guest starring celebrity ghosts 
I just get in the spirit when I get on the microphone

without a worry in the world
working my way towards rhyming with every word
I guess you could say I’m a nerd
or something else unlike what you have ever heard of
some of my lyrics are absurd
others are profound and each of them obscure
through it all rest assured
that me without a sound it never would occur

never striking a pose in model citizen mode
political moves without ulterior motives
a modern day mogul making the most of the moment
the message in the music just keeps on giving them more
so without further adieu about to give them what for
and if you want to know the reason why I’m not really sure
it’s just a natural occurrence an artist to the core
and this has been my #verseoftheday thanks for listening yo

this is my second attempt at catching wreck mic check
but maybe it’s just not my time yet

early bird gets the worm
meaning get up ready to get out there and earn
I’m not waiting until my turn
both ends of the candle burn baby burn
I’ve been aware of my worth 
I wonder what would happen if I pushed myself further
well let me finish this first
then I’ll follow up with something so good that it hurts

always been old school
since the days of my youth

Feel The Pulse...
production by Bitzone...

——

feel the pulse
energy surges through our circuitry
feel the pulse
power courses through our veins
feel the pulse 
art and culture is a courtesy
afforded us 
by this mysterious force of nature
(2x)

——

Respect is something earned
Not given
Live and learn 
Stop tripping 
What would your mama say, huh?
Just gotta keep it real
How ya living?
the same thing you are living your life for
would you be willing to die for?
do you have it in you to try more?

——

how should I start this? 
well first I'm a lifelong artist 
who obviously ain't the smartest about it 
I'm honest at least though 
lots of cats out here are high on thy ego 
second I'm a simple man I see y'all as equals 
each an individual and all y'all my peoples 
free will is principle three because we hold 
the potential to know things if only we could bring ourselves to think 
and let's see what number four is 
I don't know - please I just came here to flow 
not to talk about me - let's go 
should I talk about you? I don't know 
spark of genius the gears they’re a’turning
my mind’s a machine which appears to be working 
if I am to get anywhere near where I am destined to go
then one thing is for certain
it’s all up to me the one and only person
upon whom my future depends this is perfect
because no one other than I and I 
will share the same primary concern kid
as the center of my inner circle
I understand the importance of my purpose
a controversial public service
should I do some soul searching?

——

Respect is something earned
Not given
Live and learn 
Stop tripping 
What would your mama say, huh?
Just gotta keep it real
How ya living?
the same thing you are living your life for
would you be willing to die for?
do you have it in you to try more?

——

speaking to the people them ain't keeping any secrets 
I'm just reaching to achieve something that no one can believe 
I can feel it in the deepest of depths of my spirit 
I'm frequently thinking out loud you can hear it you can see 
make nothing but progress follow my own lead 
acquiring knowledge fulfilling my needs 
I either win or I learn - because I take the time to read between the lines indeed 
speaking to the people them I keep on sending messages 
no secret it's intended for the people them so let's begin 
again enter the next dimension with the way that I get it in 
the people them they digging it the wickedness 
if this isn't enough then stay tuned to bear witness when 
whatever turn of events it is that will happen hits 
the rhythm of life
this is it
time space continuum type

travelogue...

——

wandering along these lonely roads looking at what is no longer around

how did we get here wait when did this happen and why did it even go down?

wondering if and when what if it never ends how can we continue now?

well I say we should work on it then problem solving is likely our only way out

——

look
while I was out taking a walk
I began
entertaining a thought 
like
whether or not
this all is just part of some intricate plot 
am I crazy or what
stop
we’ve gotta give it all we’ve got
and go
to make progress
we must
develop a new approach
and so
are we ready to talk
or no

——

walk with me talk with me documentarian 
charting an authentic cosmic event

watching this awesome phenomenon there it is wherever I choose to be I am set

all of the stars that are lost in the darkness
still matter I’ve found they’re shining their light yet

positive thought isn’t popular but I bet this isn’t even as good as it gets

travelogue

——

navigate all that lies ahead in the distance 
with a sixth sense since it is with this
that each instant that we live is experienced
it’s the spirit deep within which uplifts us

part of me probably ponders it all a bit too much and such but I just wanna know

if change is the only constant then how come when it happens nobody is ready to go?

c’mon man I mean following ancient laws is just nonsense and if it isn’t then how so?

obviously I’m not that into the way this societal system set up status quo

so skewed a selection
we’ll lose the election
whether or not if you’re anti or pro

choose your direction
but use some discretion 
having free will calls for self control

we’re truly entrenched in
unruly and wretched
times but there’s still space for us to grow

school is in session
and love is the lesson
so do not forget about heart mind and soul

——

wandering along these lonely roads looking at what is no longer around

how did we get here wait when did this happen and why did it even go down?
