CORTEXT - ENJOY THE RIDE

Caribbean style banger I recorded during my time in Sierra Leone with local artist Suga Don. Recorded on a Zoom H1 recorder in a mud hut in the dark, real music prevails!

-Turn the lights down, low, let the speakers, bang - and I'm in my lane-/
--------Can't kill the thought of you-/

--Turn the bass up loud, let the music, bang - and I'm in my lane-/
 --I don't go out-side, but I stay up, late - trying to kill, the, thought of you-/
--Turn the lights down low, let the music bang, and I'm in my lane-/
--Trying to kill the thought of you, trying to kill the thought of you, wish that sweet talk, was, true-/
-Wish that sweet talk, was, true - I heard it all, from, you-/
-Wish that sweet talk, was, true, I heard it all, from, you RUN IT, RUN IT, RUN IT, BACK!-/
-Ya Told me I could have it all - you told me I could never fall-/
-Ya Told me that to be the best, that you don't need the rest you need to tell 'em fuck 'em all-/
-You're poison to my inner thoughts - the one that always tells me lies/
-A weaker man would probably break - they probably ain't got what it takes-/
-Breaker breaker 1, 9, clear the fuckin' line-/
-Got that hittin new transmission came in swingin' off the vine-/
-Swear I nearly lost my mission and I clearly lost my mind that's why you/
See me round these crazy motherfuckers all the time - run it-/
-They got me feeling like I'm fine, one hunned-/
-Run it - and you ain't know it could be done, til we damn, near-/ done it-//

--Turn the bass up loud, let the music, bang - and I'm in my lane-/
 --I don't go out-side, but I stay up, late - trying to kill, the, thought of you-/
--Turn the lights down low, let the music bang, and I'm in my lane-/
--Trying to kill the thought of you, trying to kill the thought of you, wishin that sweet talk, was, true-/
-Wishin that sweet talk, was, true - coz I heard it all, from, you-/
-Wishin that sweet talk, was, true, coz I heard it all, from, you RUN IT, RUN IT, RUN IT, BACK!-/
---I'm running laps around the rhythm on another track-/
---Blastin' off and I ain't coming back-//

-Alright, HOLD UP-/
-Better tell 'em run it like they running from a runner who done run up in the building with the gun out like a HOLD UP-/
-Better tell 'em run it like they running from a boulder, better tell 'em run it like they running from Ebola-/
--But it ain't no, joke, I got many friends, currently that's caught up in that water-/
-Caught up in that border Sierra Leone, nationwide, 3-day, lockdown, without, no food, and no/
Water - no law, and no order, picture your sons, and your, daughters, suffering-/
-It ain't right - it ain't right, that American was given the medicine same, night-/
-It ain't right, like, sending an $80, 000 Tomahawk mis-sile in, flight-/
From the barrel of a man that doesn't earn that in a year/
Into the home of someone who ain't gunna see that in his life-/
-- Just a couple thoughts, you can keep on, ice-/
-Roll one light, one take, one, to the head, and repeat, that, twice-/
-And I'm out, like a cheap hotel, L, neon light, peace-//

LYRICS

-Take a look, through the windows of a different seer-/
-Follow my footsteps in the dark you'll see me crystal clear-/
-Coz you can hear it in my voice I keep the vision pure-/
-And feel the heat that's rising up from underneath the sewer-/
-The things I've seen are hard to process in a single verse-/
-I'm all alone inside my head it's like I'm living cursed-/
-That's why I'm greatful that there's something I can give the world/
And tell the truth I'm humbled every day I get my lyrics heard-/
-I went to Freetown  saw a beggar wearing battle scars-/
-And he was laying in the gutter looking at the stars-/
-They have to get it you don't get it then you have to starve/
Your country don't look after you it's prison just without the bars-/
-I've seen the long forgotten children that the war, bred-/
-Taken in and spend their first nights, in a warm, bed-/
-There's nothing better than that smile you can' t describe the feeling-/
-When every child deserves a life but still they dying needing-/
-One of the kids I met was shy but said he liked to rap-/
-We started talking he was vibing said he liked my tracks-/
-During the war him and his family were fleeing scared-/
-His fathered died along the way they had to leave him there/
Running through the jungle, hiding from the rebels/
14 he's a survivor man that boy deserve a medal/
But there ain't no recognition all they see is repetition/
Trying to scrape a meal together that's as far as they be thinking/
-When we left they lost, Mary that was hard for me to swallow/
Man that girl was crazy beautiful she could've been a model/
But instead she didn't make it man this shit I can't, take it/
Got me waking up at night in cold sweats, hands shaking/
It's injustice, what happened to the justice-/
It's just, us, coz the government can't trust us-/
-They wanna watch us stop us, shock us and knock us/
Wanna process us as criminal instigators and lock us/
Down - sometimes I feel alone in this-/
-And like the microphone is my confidant and my only audience-/
-But then I think about my fam and all I have in store-/
-And man I'm lucky there ain't soldiers knocking at my door-/
-Me and my girl were in Nairobi that September morn-/
-The same, day that Al Shabab attacked the Westgate mall-/
-I think about how easily we could've been there too-/
-And how I know I couldn't live if something happened to her-/
-The girl that shows me everyday to keep my actions pure-/
-The girl that shows me every way that she could possibly/
Be all I need and more and I don't say that she belongs to me/
Coz man we work together it ain't nothin' that's my heart she keep me/
Pumping, my mum called me today and said she's getting married/
-To the man she's been with over twenty years it had me-/
-But I can't be more happy for her coz I know she happy-/
-That lady gave me everything hope I can give it back see-/
-That's all I'm trying to do, look after my family-/
-Look after my crew, maybe go to the grammy's-/
-Always speek the way I'm feeling and never be scared-/
-Get my dad a better home and some medical care-/
-Keep my little brother out of trouble-/
-Let my little sister grow up and change the world if she want to-/
-And what we gotta do is educate the young, too-/
Coz they gone have to deal with all the problems that we've run, through-/
-The air is heating up, I hear the storm ahead and/
You gone feel it young blood, you gone have to walk, steady-/
-War ready, speaking til they free you/
Coz we know how the elite can treat the sheeple when they need to-/
-And send my wishes for the children of Gaza/
-And all the victims of religion that passed us-/
-And know that even if there ain't no one to hold your hand-/
Blessed be the ones that walk alone into the promise land-//





Cortext - 'Walk Alone' (prod. by Serious Beats)

LYRICS

— Like a relic out of the past-/
- History repeats, like flipping the hourglass-/
- We bring the devils out of the dark-/
- But we can’t stop ‘em or take the venom out of the blast, when they/
Pop it, Andy Chan, smuggling grams-/
And now the feds that done ‘em in have got some blood on they’re hands-/
They could’ve stopped ‘em way before they left the country as planned-/
Instead they let ‘em take the bullets, coz they’re afraid to pull it/
Now there’s stirring in the streets and the people they bay for blood-/
Screaming justice and they’re paying the price for what they had done-/
Even I admit the crime of getting swept up in the nonsense/
Until I realised that that mentality is toxic/
-And yes the drugs they were trafficking could’ve ruined lives/
But if we say an eye for an eye then we’re both, losing sight-/
-Who has the right, to stifle another human life-/
Guess that’s a personal question that only you decide-/
I put my hand on my heart, then throw my deuces high/
For all the children on Manus Island and Nauru tonight-/
Don’t even talk about ISIS and human rights abuse/
With what our government subject people seeking asylum to-/
-A little girl on Nauru, was sent to Darwin/
To be treated for PTSD, and mental scarring/
When they told her write her name and draw a picture-/
She wrote her boat, number and a sketch of herself with her lips, stitched up-/
Mixed up, torn apart, caught in the wild-/
And we inflict that sort of pain upon the soul of a child/
That racism, is a cancer they implant in our minds-/
Not-to-mention-the catalyst, for-extremist propaganda to thrive-/
You wanna know, why they hate us?-/
-Look what we take them through-/
-And if you know but don’t say none-/
Then you might as well, hate them, too-/

Now everybody gotta stand for something, if it ain’t that, you’ll fall for anything right?-/
Now all my people face the world, with your eyes to the front and, just stay strong, this is the fight, for your life-/

Stand up, and be counted, if you want something then shout it/
If you want change be around it, coz we rise up but stay grounded-/
And anything they take from you, just flip and send it right back too-/
Coz they can’t break, they can’t crack you, just raise your fists and say FUCK YOU-//

LYRICS

CORTEXT
Cold mornings dreary days, looking out of my window pain-/
-Man I can hear the rain, falling in icy sheets again-/
-Sit in my unit on the couch and smoke a hundred cones-/
-Think back on times thats gone, let my mind wonder home-/
Back in 2000 when I, smoked bud, for the first time, at the skate park-/
-Got way too high, couldn't face my mum, so I sat down there, til it got dark-/
-Skip forward a few, 2002, when me and Matty used, to hit that/
New ceramic, billy-with-the skull and-the-knife, that he bought at spi-ders remember that/
Time when like, 10-of-us-were at your house a-cross, from-the-tav-/
And we were smoking out the back and ended up, gettin'-caught, by-your-dad-/
--We all just bailed it, shat and left you there to take the wrap-/
-I-was-hiding-in-the-bush, across from Jesses, 2, in the morning, blitzed and/
Stressin', or early morning, bakery lurkin', at the back door like/
Where's the goodness, Cali closed at 9, and we didn't have time-/
Time, that precious, commodity, accelerated by stress, and psychology-/
-So-I-take-a-step, back - sit down, light one re-lax, while-i-think-about-/

HOOK
--Yeah I been thinkin' of ya-/
--I smoke a cone and let the vapor make a signal for ya-/
--Yeah I been thinkin' bout ya-/
-Try not to miss, just reminisce, when ever-I, chill, I-be-thinkin' bout-/
--Yeah I been thinkin' bout the-/
Way we used to not give a fuck about, nothing yeah I was-/
--And I been thinkin' bout ya-/
-Try not to miss, just reminisce, whenever-it's-like, this, I-be-thinkin' bout-/

GREELEY
Used to wake up at 6, then head straight for the mix
Grab a bud, chop it up, pack a cone get a bong quick straight to my lips
yeah start taking a hit, all day till we were wasted as shit
sit around thinking bout ways we could change
even though we were both still taking the piss
but these days is differnt shit just aint the same as unless im
sittin with with you blazin but shit has changed and i never thought it 
we used to mission for it even if we cant afford it
back on the road then back to our home for a sesh but we better save some for the morning  
tick till the end of the week, so stoned were forgetting to speak
way back in the past tense wed catchup for a car shesh at the end of the beach
the billies rippin started trippin and then checkin the streets 
fuck letting it be we quickly figure out that we better get our shit together and leave
and i miss those times we were barely getting by
but at least we did it in a mist to try lift spirits high
for every minute i reminise about that simple life
ill smoke a spliff for you and keep on thinking about that time that i was
