Todays special from the DJ Real
From the depths of my crates and the wheels of steel
2023 My roof's on fire
Bringing rhymes old school funk for your desire.

My beat is free for the worlds emcees that got clout
And Bass that blows your mother fuckin windows out.

Jed Lapp's 12 inch subs will bump no doubt
As Et Al brings the dope that makes you wanna shout.

(Jed Lapp)
Another classic beat from DJ Real
Woke up this morning, hopped in my automobile.
Me and wife riding down the road.
Cued up this beat, we're like, "Man that's dope!"

Dropped off my wife so she could pick up her whip.
As I bumped to work to DJ Real's dope shit.
My 12 inch subs, vibratin like a night club.
Can't wait to get on the mic so I can rip it up.

As I ride down the road in Portland Metro
The boomin system, LL Cool J said so.
Rocked I tunes, w/my bass playlist.
The volume up high so some folks be pissed.
But the hip hop heads, they can't resist.
When my wife hears this, it's a swiss kiss bliss.

Then "The Real Broom Broom" by Et Al comes on.
His classic bass ace vibratin my face.
Then "Posse's on Broadway" by Sir Mix A Lot"
The drop with heart, that yall forgot.
Then there's Ant Banks, Macklemore and Too $hort.
My 12 inch subs almost bust my eardrums.

(Lydia)
My dad and I rockin down the road
to DJ Real's beats with the dope show flows.
DJ Real droppin beats from the sky.
Dude's rippin it up, his beats are so fly.

(Mr. Roboto)
Her dad and him rockin down the road
to DJ Real's beats with the dope show flows.
DJ Real droppin beats from the sky.
Dude's rippin it up, his beats are so fly.

(Jed Lapp)
Now I gotta give a shout out to James Ashburn, my homie.
On of my boys in our Dodomyte Posse.
Me and him and 4 other members
from the 8th grade through high school at Columbia River.

You see he is the one responsible for my audio.
Installin the equipment in my car yo.
Without him I couldn't roll down the road.
Blasting these beats like it's a car show.

He's been installin my systems since 1997
as i drive around, sounds like 7th heaven.
Because of him, my biggidybass sounds dope.
Measure it with a seismograph or an oscilloscope.
It's like boom boom, shake shake the room.
as I drive my car like an earthquake in a jar. 

(Lydia)
My dad and I rockin down the road
to DJ Real's beats with the dope show flows.
DJ Real droppin beats from the sky.
Dude's rippin it up, his beats are so fly.

(Mr. Roboto)
Her dad and him rockin down the road
to DJ Real's beats with the dope show flows.
DJ Real droppin beats from the sky.
Dude's rippin it up, his beats are so fly.

(Jed Lapp)
So to sum it up, I say, "Waz up?"
With DJ Real blowin it up.
Yea, we're a little older but we aint washed up.
Rockin rhymes and beats like we are young pups.

(Mr. Roboto)
DJ Real, Jed Lapp, and Lydia, 2023.

A Land Beyond

Light Sustain

It's Live not Paradise

Lyrics:

All I wanted was to hold your hand 
When I reached for it you ran 
I really tried to do all I can 
and you said you wanted to be my man 
I guess I'll never understand it 
you left me empty handed
I fell for you 
but you weren't there to catch me when I landed 
Starting to think you planned it 
Lost all the connection and no sense of direction anymore 
I can't stand it (can't stand it)
I fell to the floor 
when you walked out the door
I can't do this anymore 
yea I can't do this anymore 
Now you're gone again (gone again)
Nowhere to be found (nowhere to be found)
How could you do that to me when you said you would always be around 
All you ever did was let me down 
Left me here in tears 
starting to drown 
I was lost and then you found me 
wrapped your love around me 
Then you turned right around and disappeared without a sound 
How do you sleep so soundly?
Do you even think about me?
and I just don't understand 
was this the whole plan?
When all I wanted was to hold your hand

Hold Your Hand

Wonder Lost

Everyday is slightly darker
Everyday has more grey
Even when the sun isn’t shining
We don’t spot the rare sunray 

Finding the first snowbells of winter 
Watching the snowflakes fall 
Seeing the beauty in a pebble 
You spotted walking on the shore

Chorus
With you gone the wonder’s lost
Your lust for wonder is what we’ll  miss
	-
(We) carry on in the same way
Carrying on as nothing has changed 
Not seeing what it is missing,
From what we’re now so far estranged

Child-like wonder at a rainbow	
Spotting rabbits in a field
Walking out  in the moonlight
Especially when the moon is full

Chorus
Your lust for wonder is what we miss
With you gone the wonder’s lost

Bridge 
Simple beauty gave you so much bliss
Now your wonder we have lost 
My wonder at all your beauty
My wonder for you is keeping on (& on) 
 
-
Always there is something missing 
Always now you aren’t there
Special days slip my memory
But of you I’m always aware

Snuggling up in a blanket 
watching a fire flicker and flare
Waiting for the dawn at solstice
Seeing beauty everywhere

Storytelling, authenticity and staying true to oneself. That's what it's all about.  My tracks are all true stories of things I have experienced and the people I have come in contact with that have shaped my journey. Some produced by me, some by my friends, some downloaded beats. Most of the features are close friends and family, most of who recorded in person at my studio. Thanks for visiting my channel.
