Cosmic Keanu Remastered

He went down to the crossroads
To  make a rotten kind a deal

And you know ol’ scratch is
Always lookin', always lookin' for a soul to steal

Seems learnin’ to play his guitar
Was takin’ far, far too long

So, he signed the dotted line
And got his hit song

But his voice sounded like a goat
Of the fine print, 
he should of made a note

Why not just practice?
Best way to get the job done

Why not just practice?
Hard work never hurt no one

They cheered and bought the record
Enchanted by the sound

But music should be for the soul
Not the other way around

And all that fame and fortune
Will burn up real fast

When it’s time to pay the price
And the devil owns your ass

Whoa-whoa-whoa-oh
whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

Why not just practice?
A good way to unwind

Why not just practice?
protect your soul’s behind

If you’re at the crossroads
Best to turn right round there and then

Cause the devil, he ain’t your friend
He’ll always screw you in the end

Why Not Just Practice? (Featuring Johnny, Willie and Keanu)

Wake up, Neo!

The matrix has you,
it’s all around you

It owns everything
that you think you are

It feeds on your 
life force

Take the red pill 
then you’ll see

it’s all just a 
machine made dream

Flush the pod and
Flee the bots

You’re no longer a
Copper top

The nutrient slop
Doesn’t taste bad

When you realize
That you’ve been had

The matrix, it
Doesn’t own you
 
You are not its
slave

Once you know
the truth inside you

You are the one!

Who else could it be?
Whoa, I dunno!

You are the one!
Who, me?

Don the shades
and do cart wheels

Dodge the bullets,
They aren’t real

Remember there’s
No spoon at all

Just have faith, 
then you won’t fall

Now you’ve got those 
kung-fu tricks

Triple spin-kick
Agent Smith

And know that 
you will never fall

Cause true love,
it conquers all

It’s time to wake up now!

And know that you’re the one!

Wake up now, wale up!

I know jujitsu?
I know kung fu?
I stop bullets with my hand?
Was that the same cat?
My girlfriend wears leather pants?
I can fly like Superman?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wake Up, Neo!

Jump the Sharks, You Must!

So many sharks!
I’ll never jump them all

Up’s down and down is up
How many can I jump?
Don’t know the reason why,
I’m gonna have to fly

Round’s flat and flat is round
How many can I jump?
Don’t know the reason why,
I’m gonna have to fly

Jump the Sharks, 
You Must!
Do or do not
There is no try

Master Yoda, I….
I cannot fly!

Unreal is now the real
How many can I jump?
Don’t know the reason why,
I’m gonna have to fly!

Small’s big and big is small
How many can I jump?
Don’t know the reason why,
I’m gonna have to fly!

Size matters not. 
Judge me by my size, do you? 

And well you should not. 
For my ally is the Force. 

And a powerful ally it is. 
It surrounds us and binds us.

Energetic beings are we, 
not this solid matter. 

You must feel the Force around you; 
Here, there, and everywhere. 

Between you, me, the skis, 
the shark, have no fear. 

Yes. Even between yourself 
and the shark, the force is there.

There is nothing to be afraid 
of apart from fear itself!

So many sharks,
I just might jump them all!

Hard’s easy, easy’s hard
How many can I jump?
Don’t know the reason why,
I’m gonna have to fly

Fact’s fiction, fiction’s fact
How many can I jump?
Don’t know the reason why,
I’m gonna have to fly

When everything’s jumped the shark,
And you do not know which way to turn
Look to the truth that you find inside
And the sages who will surely guide
You’re free!

In the dark we are
A little knowledge
Can light the way!

Jump The Sharks, You Must! (Featuring Yodah & The Lounge Lizard)

The King is Dead, Long Live Boxing!
(Based on a true story)

They found the king upon his throne
Bloated, dead, and all alone

He had called on Dr Nick, 
With his pill filled bag of tricks

Wasn’t peanut butter sandwiches 
did him in

Then I thought, hey man,
I’m just like him

life is just a haze 
always stoned 
in a daze
Cue lines blur 
in between
character and 
real life dream

I was just a London Boy, 
Took the pills, made me ill

Don’t want to be a square,
did the drugs, grew my hair

Never answered that phone, 
Kept on walking, wandered alone

Ziggy, it started clean, 
Then we tasted the American dream 

Can’t say it wasn’t fun, 
I’d gone away, I was numb

Nearly died a diamond dog, 
Hard to see through that fog

life is just a haze 
always stoned 
in a daze
Cue lines blur 
in between
character and 
real life dream
Was a shock 
to finally see
skeleton staring 
back at me

Found I need a drastic shift
Not the next synthetic fix

Time to put those pills away,
Cocaine’s for another day

Milk and peppers just won’t do,
When your 90 pounds of thin sinew

The thin white duke is going to die
Unless I give boxing a try!

Put down those pills, Bowie! 
pick up the gloves, Bowie!

Shadow box those
Demons away
 
Hit the bag and
Run the stairs, Bowie!

Raise your fists like Rocky, Bowie!

Yo, Adrian, I mean Bowie!

Let’s box!
Put down the pills and pick up the gloves

Put Up Your Dukes!

Taking the Way Back

(IPG1)
Kicking ass with rhythm patterns until now-unknown
I'm light years ahead like another-time zone 
More than you can handle in another-rhyme zone
Thought I was done not till your minds blown
This is how I do it not being conceited
A cosmic contingency mission completed
I rock reality phonies defeated

(Kane)
My name is Kane, I walk the land
bring peace and harmony where I stand
always seek peace, fight for the soul
To endanger one, endangers the whole

As I walk, there are none to call on
Master Po’s wisdom I fall on 
Use kung fu fists of stone, 
Remember Master Po, never walk alone

Don’t fight force with force, redirect
Slip beneath the wave, respond with a check
better check than to maim or deface,
life is precious, can’t be replaced

studied mantis, dragon and tiger
ways of nature lead us higher
fight against what endangers the soul
It is stronger than time untold

This is IPG1 and Kane
Taking it Back
We're On the Way
Taking it Back

(IPG1)
Check the rhymes the style and the literature 
as the Rhythm evolves you'll see the spirit is pure
I'm going to rock the beats like never before 
And when I'm done you'll be waiting for more
traveling through time could be a blast from the past
present or future but built to last
now as the beat hits it knock you out your daze
remember the beat was just first phase 

(Kane)
Master Po says, in the immortal Tao
bend like a willow, never bow down
fight for those who need it most
die if I must and become a force ghost

Heart knows no danger, doesn’t exist,
Fear melts away for those who persist
Victory is yours with presence of mind
the will to move at danger’s first sign

(IPG1)
I Stay alert and always at the ready
don't mean I'm dangerous just means I'm deadly
There'll be casualties as a matter of fact
Personally I can guarantee that
Cause I rock reality phonies defeated
Total calamity My patience depleted
Empowered by the beat raining down defeat 
so cry me a River cause I'm here to deliver 
another verse to make you shiver

(Kane)
Seek not answers, 
but the right questions
Don’t be fooled by misdirections
Fear is like a seed that grows
In the darkness of the unknown

Reflections bounce back at your eyes,
Don’t react to tricks of mind
body and mind's a powerful force,
calm and wise as a matter of course

This is IPG1 and Kane
Taking it Back
We're On the Way
Taking it Back

(Kane)
Hate is salt water, thirst grows worse
Fear makes victims, and is a curse
Don’t rob the present, dwelling on the past
Or rob the future, forgetting what’s passed

Heaven and earth are one, so we must 
Discipline our mind and bodies and trust
the wisdom of our Shaolin way
our skills benefit all we may

This is IPG1 and Kane
Taking it Back
We're On the Way
Taking it Back

-----

We’ve come too far
can’t fall 
or back down 

We find ourselves
Right here
Right now

I’ve got a misperception,
slip in and out of mind

Outside of mind

The truth is here to be revealed
The point is just to be for real

It is what’s here and now to stay
When you've got no more games to play
Are you coming back to reality?
Are you stepping back to reality?

Are you waking up to reality?
There is a true connection
Between everything

We’ve made an art
Of playing
the fool

I’ve found a true connection
The right place at the right time

There’s simply nothing in the way
If you stop pretending to be asleep
We’re all standing on the same stage
Right at this temporal edge of space
Are you coming back to reality?
Are you edging back to reality?
Are you stepping back to reality?
Are you waking up to reality?
There is a true connection
There is a true connection
There is a true connection
Between everything

Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake

—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late
to create —-understand and fascinate
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate
is gravy to me—— I’mer keep it straight
everything else ——is a piece of cake

Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny
it might take some time ——for all to see
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti
infusing the track with—- positive energy
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus

Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway
please try to meet me halfway

Pole Shift

The earth shakes below
lightning flashes above
hearts and minds are broken
Poison all around

Nowhere else to go
Everywhere the same
There’s no time at all
where we find ourselves

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Swallowing the hook
we consume the bait
Can’t agree at all
Save the need for change

Divided in our minds
Can’t tell love from hate
Then before we know
It may be too late

Blind with mental plays
walk into the blaze
Cannot see what’s here
in front of our face

Earth shakes below
lightning flashes above
hearts and minds broken
Poison all around

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Earth shakes below
lightening flash above
Hearts and minds broken
Poison all around

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Seeing in real time
Following the way
Having seen what’s real
Only truth will stay

Lightly holding on
As the poles turn round
peaceful through it all
as the world falls down

Not So Afraid

What can I say 
I don’t know what to think
Can’t shake this feeling
It overwhelms me

only solution
Seems to be
just to run away

That’s the way
I’ve dealt with
Everything before

every time 
I feel the fear 
and want to run away
I think of you
And I’m not 
so afraid

This tide incoming 
it feels so hopeless
There is no reason
No sense of purpose

pushed around so long
By things we can’t change
We feel abandoned
life has no meaning

that’s an illusion
Things are deeper than
we can ever know

There is infinite joy
Beyond understanding
Beyond the senses,
Living in the truth

Achieving this
no higher goal
grounded in being, unshaken
In pain and sadness

Content with whatever
unattached to pleasure
Gain true freedom
Enter absolute joy

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

Belief without faith
is a quagmire of doubt
never satisfied
In this world or beyond

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

every time 
I think of you
I’m not 
so afraid

Lyrics:
Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

The ancients, now buried
Believed themselves as gods

Their deafening silence
proves that they were wrong

Gentle bravery preserves
While hubris destroys

We’ve forgotten ourselves
Consumed by our toys

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall
Again and again
And again

Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

A mighty army lies vanquished
The snake consumes itself

The one who kills
destroys themselves

Subtle perseverance
steers us to the way

Our collective madness 
has chosen – has chosen --
Another fate

True words may be ugly
While the beautiful may be false

Have respect for everyone
don’t exalt yourself

The great are laid low
The soft and gentle remain

This world could be a paradise
But we have initiated the fall

Lyrics:

What once made sense 
Falls down to my feet

And what I used to think 
Now dissolves like a dream

History once believed,
now the sun has bleached

A web of lies
Surrounds what we see

Nothing was ever real,
All made to deceive

We are at the 
edge of night

darkness increases,
swallowing the light

We scramble like rats
Fight each other for scraps

False lights explode,
To douse our fright

This coming storm 
Feels like the end

As wheat and tares 
Are separated again

Events unfold, 
draw us back 
Into eternity
We kick and scream
fighting that which saves

Why lose your soul
just to save your life?

There is no end,
in the truth, unite

The name that cannot be named
The door to all wonders
Will be revealed
Outside this dream
It calls, forever, 
forever beckoning

Feline Zorro and his trusty companion, Shadow Chaser, wish to relate another story. This one, is Safety Dance, by the super-group Men Without Hats. I have lost my hat in the heat of battle before, so I can relate. Please enjoy!

Also -- an addition! I thank you all for your kind comments! It is wonderful to hear such amazing feedback! I cannot, however, comment back to everyone for some reason. When I do, it sometimes says 'no, no, you cannot do this.' I am not exactly sure why. Zorro does not ask why -- he only acts in the moment!

As far as the 'everyone look at your hands line', that is a good one. I use that one, along with, 'hey, your boots are untied', or 'hey, what is that on your shirt'? Then, that is when I strike!

Everything sucks and it always rains
Zombies roam the streets, looking for brains

Giant rats crawl from sewer drains
Look at them close they have a human face

My Dystopia! My Dystopia! My Dystopia! Ma-ma-ma my-dystopia!

You huddle round a garbage fire
Think you’re cool in your ripped attire

The only food is mystery meat
It’s most likely made of Soylent Green!

My Dystopia! My Dystopia! My Dystopia! Ma-ma-ma my-dystopia!

Drink your Lightning Claw, it’s all the rage
Head in the cloud, mind in a daze

How we got here is now a haze
Wear hockey pads and pierce your face

Undivided, don’t look away
Or close your eyes

Undivided, do not fall 
for the pretty lies

Undivided, see the truth,
No false, designs

Undivided, don’t be swayed
By fear or desire

Undivided, there’s a reason
Behind it all

Undivided, take what comes
Accept the call

Undivided, come what may
You cannot fall

Be forever righteous
and unbreakable

The way of heaven
flows through it all

Drop all expectations
It will be revealed

Life flows on forever,
Immaterial

Let go of 
all anger

Don’t join issues or make demands

Free from
Pain and fear

A strong foundation
Will help you stand

Calm through any 
danger

It will work out
In the end

Undivided, don’t look away
Or close your eyes

Undivided, do not fall 
for the pretty lies

Undivided, see the truth,
No false, designs

Undivided, don’t be swayed
By fear or desire

Undivided, there’s a reason

Accept the call

You cannot fall

Lyrics:
Kick it!!!—
You never know your abilities until you push your limit
don’t know how to handle shit until you knee-deep in it
we all know the struggle but not the keys to the puzzle
Before it starts to pour it always starts to drizzle
when the floodgates open it starts with a trickle
Is Beatz so hot now I’m about to make it sizzle
Feel it when you hear it—-we’ll That’s been my trend
in 321 it’s hip-hop Zen Zen Zen Zen
3——-2———-1—-

we are all hip-hop the melodies the beat
The rhythm on the track that makes you wanna move your feet
combined effects is the sauce and the force
that replenishes our energies and keep us on course
The spirit that inspires this feeling inside of me
to drop another track and set a beat free
the spirit of the music that won’t be denied
that makes you wanna groove even when you’re tired

take a closer look at operational tempo
just an example —-I’ll try to keep it simple
first I choose a topic ——then I add a beat
if the beat is kicking ————sweet
Then listen to the music ——get into the groove
grab my mic —-sound check——- I approve
Match my topic to the beat line by line
listen to the kick—- and then drops my rhymes
Sometimes a freestyle then I played back
eliminate the bullshit and drop a new track
cause idea to action is where I come from
From concept to execution flawlessly done
now turn up the volume we’re about to have fun
Bob your head to the beat —-dumb Diddy dumb dumb
if you’re wearing headphones then turn them up loud
back to back mega tracks just raining from the cloud
i throw a little swagger on each and every verse
when I’m done they all sound rehearsed

Putting out hip-hop to its highest degree
scrutinizing each track for pure quality
started with nothing and creating pure power
something you can count on in the darkest hour
is the spirit of the music that rocks the nation
so listen up closely to my little narration
An addiction to hip-hop is my declaration
my fixation to music is a total education
rapping to the beat is my only salvation
demonstrating my skills can lead to duplication
escalate into emotional frustration
my devotion to the craft spearheads my destinations
when I rock the beat —-it’s my winning combination
That often leads to total devastation ——and then celebration
it’s a private party —-so here’s your invitation
this track submitted for your evaluation
so let’s continue to rock —-for another generation
this is IPG———- one ——of ——-hip-hop‘s creations

Cimmeria
by Robert E. Howard

I remember
The dark woods, masking slopes of sombre hills;
The grey clouds' leaden everlasting arch;
The dusky streams that flowed without a sound,
And the lone winds that whispered down the passes.

Vista upon vista marching, hills on hills,
Slope beyond slope, each dark with sullen trees,
Our gaunt land lay. So when a man climbed up
A rugged peak and gazed, his shaded eye
Saw but the endless vista--hill on hill,
Slope beyond slope, each hooded like its brothers.

It was a gloomy land that seemed to hold
All winds and clouds and dreams that shun the sun,
With bare boughs rattling in the lonesome winds,
And the dark woodlands brooding over all,
Not even lightened by the rare dim sun
Which made squat shadows out of men; they called it
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and deep Night.

It was so long ago and far away
I have forgotten the very name men called me.
The axe and flint-tipped spear are like a dream,
And hunts and wars are like shadows. I recall
Only the stillness of that sombre land;
The clouds that piled forever on the hills,
The dimness of the everlasting woods.
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

Oh, soul of mine, born out of shadowed hills,
To clouds and winds and ghosts that shun the sun,
How many deaths shall serve to break at last
This heritage which wraps me in the grey
Apparel of ghosts?  I search my heart and find
Cimmeria, land of Darkness and the Night.

Lyrics:
Brood of vipers
Flee the wrath
Dig into the earth

In the undercroft
Crawl on your belly,
naked mole rats
Bringing hell to earth
No sense left
Who do you think you are?
Who made you God
Only in your head!
All you really are
All you’ll ever be
Crawling in the dark
Is a mole rat!

Brood of vipers
Flee the wrath
Dig into the earth

In the undercroft
Crawl on your belly,
naked mole rats
Bringing hell to earth!

Lyrics:

Talk is urgent
Try to hear
there’s a wall
in-between

Try to listen
Cannot hear
Our thoughts
in-between

A chasm separates us
Grows wider every day
We can’t hold both sides
Our grip is torn away
We watch this growing divide
That no words can ever cross
As our emotions break
Future and past is lost

It all falls on
our now deaf ears
Talk all day long 
No one ever hears

Voices all shout
Escalation
Brings regret
If we could hear
we could finally
Begin to see
what remains
Are memories that fade
We could listen
Instead… we wait to speak

Talk is urgent
Try to hear
there’s a wall
in-between

Try to listen
Cannot hear
Our thoughts
in-between

A chasm separates us
Grows wider every day
We can’t hold both sides
Our grip is torn away

Voices all shout
Escalation 
Brings regret
If we could hear
we could finally
Begin to see
what remains
Are memories that fade
We could listen

Lyrics:

Every moment
Filled with spirit
now here
Breathe in the space

Heart open 
equanimity,
we walk 
The narrow way

Clear choices, 
pure actions
Be true
Live by faith

In alignment, 
eyes open
Unafraid
Doubts pass away

Caught by nothing
No distraction
Complete
Do not stray

Calm and focused, 
not dreaming
Awake
Time slips away

In the spirit
Not even death
Can take
life away

In the stillness
Find refuge
At peace
On the narrow way

Lyrics: 

Here we are, lost in haze
In an endless concrete maze
Working for our enslavement
nature giving way to pavement

Turn our back on truth
Our convenience is now a prison
Sold lies of a better tomorrow
Consumed by greed, promises hollow

Money's your God now

Hungry ghosts wail and moan
Believed the lies they were shown
Mouths agape at parlor tricks
Pied pipers’ lead to the river Styx

Forgot everything that’s come before
Bathed in the manufactured glow
Consuming all of our attention
cradle to grave their sole intention

We never take the time to ask
Who profits from our pain and lack
We watch others fall through the cracks
Our morals no longer intact

Black mirrors sell a vision
Improve our fallen condition
$19.99 for the golden calf
It’s half-off, better act fast

Slip down the evolutionary ladder
Brains shrink with each misstep
Sell our souls to get our kicks
How many skeletons got rich quick

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

Babylon built brick by brick
Bad decisions wall us in
Search for the escape hatch
buried beneath mounds of scratch

We’ve reached critical mass
No attention span left to ask
Why the foundation is so cracked
Tipping point has been surpassed

Life valued less than common cents
Even our bodies have been lent
Ones and zeroes decide our fate
Plastic identity, totally fake

Sign on the dotted line 
Everything goes, name your price
Puppets dangle from golden threads
Souls gone, hearts of lead

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was...

Never enough to feed the beast
Consumes all for its feast
Never stops, feeds and feeds 
Belly bloated on all that breathes

We won’t stop until we reach
The highest peak of idiocy
Almost there, not much time left
We wallow in our lack of depth

There’s still time, we could say no
To this degenerate side-show
Turn back this broken clock
The door will open if we knock

Unless...

Money's your God now
You can have it all
Did you think that it was free?

Lyrics:

Where have I gone
What is left unsaid
What have I left behind
every time I closed my eyes

Everything is new
by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more
Nothing was left behind
I swear
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
By your side

I’ll let it all go
All the doubt and fear
the pain I kept inside
it wasn’t worth the time

What I thought I wanted
What I thought I lost
None of it ever
materialized

What I thought I knew
just a passing phase
I’ll let it all go
It wasn’t worth the time

Everything is new
by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more
Nothing was left behind
I swear
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
By your side

Everything is new 
by grace I met you
And I swear
I won’t let you down

Now that we’re here
Forever more 
Nothing was left behind 
It’s all ahead

All that came before
All that passed me by
All of it led me here
By your side

Lyrics:

We’ll all drive flying cars
And take trips to Mars
on a cock shaped rocket

The future looks bright, my friend
you can tell it is real
‘cause it looks so fake

And there will be no war at all,
When we’re all Borgs in the cloud

The future look bright, my friend
get what you want and then
AutoFac delivers

We can smoke all the meats
smother it in the sweet
Baby Rays, yeah

There will be no problems at all,
All the quantum models are solved

The future look bright, my friend
wear the goggles, then
enter the meta

And I was, am human
referring to myself
in the past

Just relax and float downstream,
We’ll take care of everything!

We promise!
See here!
Come join our

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-land!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-land!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-land!

Lyrics: 

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

They live in trees
And run through the forest,
Shoot poison arrows,
ride dinosaurs!

Taller than humans,
Stronger and faster!
Oh so much wiser,
Healthy and sane!

Connecting with spirit
Is what they live for!
They love the trees,
And animals too!

They have a braid
That plugs into nature,
See through the eyes
Of all living things!

I am a human being,
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man!

Humans destroy all they see
For shiny rocks!
We do not know
The value of things!

We have machines
and bombs and explosions!
We’re really good
at blowing up things!

They stand for nature
And all that’s lovely,
They stand for freedom
And what is right!

If we were them
We would be the victors,
And always win
Because we unite!

I am a human being
Not a blue cat man
I want to be a blue,
A blue cat man,
Meow!

Lyrics (IPG1)

This that acid drop—- mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not ——if the time stops——
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle—speeding-roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye—-sandals ——dreadlocks
Woodstock —type ——Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain ——become a hotspot
Am I human——Am I God——
preparing for ——-the aftershock
the aftershock——-the aftershock
Hell yeah———— and why not ——it’s still that purple
microdot—-microdot—— microdot

Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma —-come on let’s go
The moves —-without Ego
The smile —-or the combo
It’s good times —-and Convo
Cant avoid it—-so you want some more
The allure —-of an outlaw (X3)

Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align——You know I’mer get mine
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth are shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show—Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made —-for love—-that—— purple microdot
This that aftershock—-that aftershock—that aftershock
From that acid drop ———Mind corrupt —Mind corrupt
time stop ———-brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot —-From that purple microdot

——Chorus ——

Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—it’s called —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya

Lyrics: 

Surrounded by chaos, 
Heroic demise
It’s time – time to rise
Our names will live forever,
Forever out of time
Live for today
Join the final fight

Rise, samurai!
Blades slash through lies
As the bullets fly
Ignite the city of night 
This is our fight
There’s victory in death
If you know when to die

We walk the razor’s edge
With death by our side
We will never be alone
Forever out of time

Rise, samurai!
Tempered by our trials
With steel in our spine
Never bow to fear
Our names will never die
Ignite the city of night,
Join the final fight!
