Lyrics follow....

Jofoo
Life is a Seed x3 

CHORUS:
Life is a seed and I came to grow, 
naming the foes I forget my woes. 
Lows with no highs: the most boring show, 
hold on tight and let it all go 

Design
In my heart’s garden there is a teacher, 
a sonic seed, humble creature, 
speaking soft words of wisdom
guiding me slowly as I listen, It tells me
thoughts and deeds are seeds, 
and truth is the flower it seeks to breathe.
my space of love wants talls trees
towering above I progress indeed! (progress!) 
Indeed I will, 
for we each have our garden to till,
Do we plant seeds of an expertise, 
or, do we water weeds of the next disease?
I know what I need. 
land, food and the finest squeeze! 
This universe’ll grow what we sow!  
dropping my woes, I let my smile grow

JoFoo and Design
I try to swim / against the current
I try to run / step by step
I try to jump / retrying heights
I try to fly / sky’s the limit
And I struggle…. Until I find air / breathe in, breathe in! 

CHORUS

Design 
Deep underground, seeds hear the call,
To rise like Ron Paul against em all, 
Past solid soil, we breakthrough
Tasting the sky, raising the view. 
Cuz there’s a clearing in gaia’s ceiling
With room for each bloom that’s pioneering.
Check your steering, forget the veering
To the shine we climb, persevering!

I see my garden all round, 
high in the canopy – I feel the crown, 
Can it be? the fragrance of pollen, 
sweetness of sound steps solving problems 
I’m still in progress like all of life, 
I’ll still remain honest, despite all the strife, 
Watering my seeds with diligent deeds, 
Until they rise up as the tallest of trees. 


JoFoo
How can I see, when my heeaaart is cold, [Be Strong] 
Gotta be strong, moving on, to break the mold [Breakthrough] 
How can I walk, when my legs are weak, [Be Strong] 
Gotta be strong, moving on, to the sound of my soul

CHORUS

JoFoo and Design
Power to the people, reunite the peaceful x4
Reunite the peaceful x2


Life is a Seed [Prod. by Design and JoFoo]

Lyrics:

AGENDA
Now me and D ya see are partners of crime AND partners of rhyme
Its hard to define just what we wanna change but start with your mind
Embark and we find and start to free lines, remarkably timed
Enchanted by the mark of these times Its dark but we try

to see the light at the end of the tunnel
A deep spiritual optimism guiding this funnel
Of energy thats subtle, but there to be sought
To gain knowledge and access to purely free thought

And she taught us lessons, that’ll never be found
Like a cavernous crypt collapsed deep underground
And so another sound we formulated just to be heard
A verbal third eye awakening through powerful words 

Disturbed by a lack of the verb, attacking the herd
Coz loving one another unconditionally is never absurd
Levitating like birds, spreading your wings
Lets build a future for each other, this is where it begins

DESIGN
You know a poem in essence, is powerful presence
captured evidence in the form of sentence, 
Here combined, Agenda and I 
Defenders of rhyme, for all man-kind. 

producing our best, the only quest, 
Cruising, till the grooves progressed,
refusing rest, choosing our steps, 
removing ooze till smoothness is left, 
clef of treble- combined with bass, 
rebels in the middle- redefining grace, 
Pace kept, not retracing steps,
pre-sets replaced to embrace intent as..
Connected connoisseurs of divine word play. 
Adept aces interlacing rhyme displays,
Earning praise… phrase by phrase.
Are we labyrinths? (Nah), but we a-maze!

AGENDA: Kicking back and soaking in the rays of sun
Blazing another one as we raise the gun
Of major fun, we play till the game is won
Facing many challenges, we overcome

DESIGN: we’re unified now like Pangean tribes, 
Atlantean vibes flow: it’s the turn of the tides, 
Mayan Calendar prescribes – calisthenics of rhyme, 
on point and on time like the perfect crime. 

AGENDA: I’m into helping my fellow man, crafting a mellow jam
Artfully spinning these tracks like propellers, damn
Beaches of yellow sand, time is what we sacrifice
Rhyming for the love of it, taking you to paradise 

DESIGN: 
So nice and fresh, when our hearts express,
this waterfall sound, of flow finesse,
Come gather round - it’s crystal clear,  
Pure integrity pounding from there to here. 























trickling over the stones of ancient kings, 
tickling honeys with the musical rings. 

Taking part in the mission of flow finesse,
like waterfalls, I bring freshness to y’all 
fitness of form, in love-storm called rapping
that’s born with passion, 
For this life-long 
 
swinging grooves like vines through…. No tests can best the blessed finesse

these lips evoke sentiments of excellence, 
proud on the pinnacle spitting evidence  
of truth, essential to the mission, 
Integrity’s definition is what we’re living. 

change is coming, take the reins of loving,
Sediments remain like of revenants of the brain 

engaging the chains til
with light energy ignite the melody, 
rhyme essentially the point which lacks brevity, 
attack with clarity, holding back is insanity, 
 
Reaching/Press/At critical mass, monopolies collapse, 
ethereal raps replace materials traps
I know we all deal with that, / we all lapse at times 
Keeping truth alive n real with facts,/ truth kept alive and real with facts / 9-5 on the grind, keep real with facts. 

You know how we do it sugar you know how we do. 
You know how we do it brother you know how we do. 
We’re doing it for us, doing it for you, 
for the whole (wide) world to get down to. 

Our essence in sentence: entrance with presence, 
no repentance, evidence reveals preference:
for (bouncing) brothers babbling over beats
no semblance of vengeance, channelling the/at beast,
Introducing our quest, producing the best, 
Cruising n moving till the grooves progressed,
refusing rest, choosing (our) steps, 
removing ooze (un)till smoothness is left, 
clef of treble- combined with bass, 
rebels in the middle- redefining grace, 
Pace kept, not retracing steps, 
pre-sets replaced to embrace intent as..
(the) Connected connoisseurs of divine word play. 
Adept aces interlacing rhyme displays,
Earning praise…(praise) phrase by phrase.
Are we labyrinths? (Nah), but we a-maze!

Spit-off-the-dome consciously, at escape velocity, 
100th monkey syndrome is not mythology, 
So deep in it, truth remains intact. 
Like a croupier bringing in mad stacks

Power to the peaceful, 
Giving/Singing/Praying for/to the sequel, 
Erasing the evil, 
We unite the people. 

Seeds need all the light and water they can get, 
it ain’t a greedy deed, it doesn’t feed on regret, 
Let the artist breathe new life to the respect, 
representing microphone agility on every set. 


Multisyllabic trusty / ugly/ mucky / mould you like putty / tummy, yuppie, yummy, yucky sucky, puppy, mushy, mummy, hubbly bubbly, junkie (known to get under your skin like) / lucky / jumpy / lovely / honey / gusty / tragic bubbly and grammatic, bluntly bold like a caveman taking a stroll, fuzzy, shatter enemies like palestinian debris, supported by the US a notable tragedy 
Atlantic, dramatic, fanatic, galactic, monastic, mechanic, scholastic, socratic, 
Listen to the mad grammaticism, 
Dental, orthodontic 
Move your pants like doing the humpty dance, / new age humpty dance time to move your pants 
Advance now’s the time, power through rhyme, 
Chances taken, breaking opportunities we are making, (no faking, The soul undertaking,)
the gooooals are always in sight, 
And the sooooullls are always so bright, 
That’s why I write like Letterman up late at night, 
Not losing blood, but getting the green tick, 
Passing up surface love, for (the) deep/er shit. 


*translate: we are partners, what is our goal? We do it with style, optimists, energetic realms, free thought, benefits of such thought, mass awakening. 

anomaly / atrocity / philosophy/
100th monkey syndrome is not mythology, 
reaching/approaching critical mass, as monopolies (will) collapse, 
ethereal raps replacing the materials traps // trading material traps, for ethereal raps, //, rat race… run by the dumb, trying to lap eachother, but what good comes from it. 
You are gas, these raps strike the match… gladly
Catch me if you can like Carl Handratty, 
Replacing pre-sets to embrace our intent / with intent to invent. /chase to augment/ embracing what we invent/ Cerebral nomads movin on til we’re spent,
Connected connoisseurs of divine word play. 

If you feel it, let one arm reveal the praise. 

Extreme heat that displaces the haze, 


Connect with some ill shit before I jet.  

like wildfire, our light spirals out of control, 
still unattached. 
An artist and an (uncommon) MC like Escher. 
I can see Aliens like H.R. Giger. 
Through respiration, I awaken like Buddha. 
spitting out sutras/suttas. Praying at stupas, 
witnessing sky training this mind, (to fly)
clouds subside, as Design’s sound provides - 
a (heavenly) pedigree presenting equality (so) pleasantly  [[shift equality to next line??]]
as key to restoring our/(life’s) specialty!
See - I was led to you, you (led) to me, 
two (smooth) steps in D-S-tiny.
Blaze, 
Wrap it up like sushi
Uprooting red octagons, pulling out all the stops. 
’re unified by the raps,  
honestly, behind rhyming topography 
merging words like an apostrophe. An anomaly of rap fascinated by astronomy, 
My rhymes are more polished than majestic mahogany, 
Your relationship with your hand is one of monogamy. 
Raising vibration, equation is joy + life = love,
Understand that and we can rise above,  
Through methodical glee we surpass critical mass.
Accentuating the positive, like a Swiss flag. 
Dynamic/ally organic rhymes, 
Naturally blowing minds, 
Transcending space and time, 
Still following the signs, 
don’t know? Get in line, 
I’m swingin like tarzan on junglist vines, 
Welcome to the sounds of Design. 

When my life force has left, I won’t fear pain, 
I’ll disappear like a tear in the rain…


Releasing thorns in my side, false pride, 
devotion to guides (residing) inside and out, 
come along for the ride, I’ma here to turn the party out.
Setting (your) own goals, there’s no race, (change)
Keep pace with (the) passion, We’re/I’m rapping in space.  
We hurdle over enemies preparing/ingesting herbal remedies, / We’re presenting verbal remedies. 
Opening minds like growing up in the 70s, 
Entities of light, shining (joy) tremendously, // we shine our joy so tremendously 
till telepathy s/peaks (heralds) our complexity, // Energies invites peace and prosperity.
It’s our time… Make or break, 
Bench press bovines, raise the steaks. 
reappraising fate, forsaking hate,  /// Realise/awake/n Create your
creating love… to/we emancipate // relate (and)/ emancipate through (and praise /this) soundscape / emancipate through (this) love we create. 
Following free will fusing with the blessed, 
Borrowing bright bars till hearts are expressed. 
(and) If you’re feeling like a King or a Queen, 
(Then) I’ve been dealt the hand of my dreams. 

We let tunes hit (and) flip/ping words like Judo, 
You know, it’s two seeing one like Uno. // you know, two is really one like Uno. 
True flow, (till) like Plutooo, 
We disappear/fade/vanish from this historical show, 


The time is right, to vibe with/in the light, 
Design on the mic, never fly from the fight, 

We keep it finer than a diamond tip. 
Sleeping on the design, man you’re losing it. 

I wanna see you bouncing off the walls like a squash ball, 
Taller than the poppies you can’t cut,
We must bust.  
Obscene that I got this far, / check the river, it’s-the hand of my dreams. 
expressed / digest, 
inducing this smooth thing, improving the smooth inducing  thing to put the sting to rest / soothing
refuse/refusing? Nah, then you lose the test, 
Leaving your cortex twisted like a vortex. 
Perusing 
Where passion and peace and intersect. 
essence, that we blend into a sentence, 
Agenda and DS Design 
improving / impressed / inducing / approving / oozing / soothing / smooth thing
Defusing the rest, choosing what’s next,

Choosing our steps, producing the rep/next, 
Amusing/seducing the best, yet confusing the rest, 
Leaving perceptions wrecked, putting wackness to the test. 
We are the (binary) stars (that) refuse/s/ing to set, 
When our mic connects, the righteous flex 
 reproducing with the words making love to the set, seducing, accusing, refusing, excusing, defusing, perusing, / musing / amusing / recusing / fusing / cruising / improving / removing / blooming / 
Twisted like a vortex, inside your cortex, resisting watered down flows like I’m goretex, vexed, flexed, reflects, rejects, respects, subjects, perplexed, ejects, effects, dissects, expects, caltex, intersects, hands on like a text/TXT. // steps / reps, Schweppes. 
Blessed, blest, chest, vest, crest, pressed, quest, zest, attest, compressed, digest, expressed, impressed, from the south west, professed, progressed, acquiesced. 
More fresh than your pressed Sunday best. 
You wanna take the test?


crystal rhymes keep it clear. 
, Agenda and DS wackness disappear like pluto, cracking this case   

We explore outer space and the depths within, 
The limitless  
we’re hijacking your mind,  duo, the lenient flow,   
Like Richard Alpert and Timothy Leary back in the day…
Until the love movement grows larger a sumo, // feeding the love movement till it becomes a sumo. 
You see, me and Agenda don’t follow trend-setters,
DS doesn’t stand, for hollow lyrics chasing cheddar, 
They’re hollow, we’re n 
Never Hollow rhyme spitters taste  


We hurdle over enemies preparing/ingesting herbal remedies, / presenting verbal remedies. 
Opening minds like growing up in the 70s, 
Entities of light, shining (joy) tremendously, // we shine our joy so tremendously 
till telepathy s/peaks (heralds) our complexity, // Energies invites peace and prosperity.
It’s our time… Make or break, 
Bench press bovines, raise the steaks. 
reappraising fate, forsaking hate,  /// Realise/awake/n Create your
creating love… to emancipate // relate (and)/ emancipate through (and praise /this) soundscape
Dusting// Shake/ing off (the) cobwebs, time to groove, 
 Aloe Vera rhymes, designed to soothe. // Like Aloe V, we’re designed to soothe,
And uplift, we’re (the) helium dudes. 
Surf the skies with us, bring your (whole) crew. //
This journey isn’t for a couple or (a) few, 
It’s true, this lifes for us and (for) all of you,
It’s time we do what we came to do,
rock this world while the sky’s still blue…
 
No need to discriminate, 
from the same plate we were served, 

Tighter than dreads, we’re on you like threads,
If you feel it (feel it), then nod your head. 
My godly friends, we came to send, 

 tighten
Listen in, world citizens  delivering,
A discipline of raps for heads, no turban could match, 

Chorus
Tomes are (being) filled, knowledge (being/is) written, 
Experience/s generates the deepest wisdom. / experience is the deepest wisdom. 
Truth, not (just) the opposite of fiction,
It’s deep inside, just listen…

We’re (a breath of) fresh air, Verbal resuscitation, // vocal 
Progressing/(to the) artform, we bring imagination, / lung inflation fast-paced/pacing imagination
The cure (the cure!) for lame/wack radio stations
Agenda and DS (up on the)/(flow in your) rotation. 

Chorus
Tomes are (being) filled, knowledge (being/is) written, 
Experience/s generates the deepest wisdom. / experience is the deepest wisdom. 
Truth, not (just) the opposite of fiction,
It’s deep inside, just listen…


A new movement, 
release the hate, I know you relate, 

Sirens of the conscious sea, subconsciously, //
freeing (all) those (beasts/fish) who swim with we). 
With a versatile offering pleasing the brain, 

We make baskin and robbins look plain. 

Obviously, in dark days, we shine bright, 
Ignite ya, and pipe/blast oxygen to your (souls) fire. 

Meant to be, free from the creed of corporate greed, 
The corporate creed, keeping us on our knees. 

Timing is what 
Manifesting peace and prosperity, 
Here to release musical love longevity, 

Blowing minds like an aneurism. 

We got flow to display like perfect feng shui, 
Glide in harmony till the end of days. 
Our feet are the drumbeats of mother earth, 
Walking in rhythm (vibing) with/loving the universe. 

Free from chains of fame untamed and new to the game, 

Vi-bing off cre-ative energy, 
Yin and Yang, still slam with slang clarity,
Like bench pressing bovines, we raise the steaks. 
With a versatile offering pleasing the brain, 

We make baskin and robbins look plain. 
From the eternal 8, we create (a soundscape)
Absent of hate, elating the crowd… we make. 
Flows to expose those who pose and chose
to grow in ways we deem slow. Hell no!
Agenda, shatter the trend setter offender, 
Blend-a couple of words together just like you meant ta. 

obscenity, 

Rub your eyes, fresh prizes rising from the West,
like a twin helix, we support and build, 
with a code so safe it could never be cracked, 
Spurred on, concurring with the power of song, 


Power to the peaceful, 
Giving/Singing/Praying for/to the sequel, 
Erasing the evil, 
We unite the people. 
More boss than bowser, 
trouser arouser. 

He went through more grass than cattle.

I’ll leave your eyes looking like the sky (cycle), black and blue.  

Check the Celestine prophecy, 
I spit rhyme oddities, 
Honestly, I deliver flow quality, 
Gotta be, DS on the mic. 

i breed without greed to feed a new earth's creed, lust for the mic, that's why bust and drop conceptual seeds
you're the special prize born from a unicorn's horn, charging towards beauty like a-rider-in-the-storm, never forlorn: the rainbow's firstborn, torn between a life of fantasy, sworn to dance and forever be free, like the light from the mane of your mythical steed.

Gordian Knot •  oun:   an intricate knot tied by Gordius, the king of Phrygia, and cut by the sword of Alexander the Great after he heard that whoever undid it would become ruler of Asia 
•  noun:   any very difficult problem; insoluble in its own terms

Photovoltaic skill. 
Natural light like bioluminesce
Breaking out of your clutches at escape velocity. 

Helping other stars to shine doesn’t diminish mine, 

I’d buy green in such bulk, the incredible hulk would sulk. 
Breakin 50s down to 25s, 

My egos plays more roles than Peter Sellers. 
Hotter than a vindaloo, 
Catching on like the flu, 
Tempting you like the Devil’s supposed to. 

I’ve got more time on my hands than a watch-maker. 


Free Lines - Design and Agenda [Prod. Aspect and Design] Remastered

Lyrics (Agenda then Design alternating): 

I’m dialectically electric, synthetic, never forget it
Get it incredibly, medically better just like a pedigree
Better be impending endlessly, we rendering the melody
Inequity directly festering energy mentally 

The syllable surgeon dismissing vermin’s final curtain
cuz persons are hurting and deeply in need of a sermon. 
The urban version of merlin reversing the burdens,
throwing flowing raps round your head like a turban.

Amenities, facilities, complement my ability
Military missiles be missin me, misplaced humility
Millimetre by millimetre my ministry a mystery
Masterful flowing like the water of the Mississippi

It be slippery this injury controlling history, 
villainy vying for victory bitterly looking the same to me,
I’m chasing liberty, replacing misery with synergy, 
inwardly lies the mystery that’s hotter than the Kimberley,

Specific with symmetry, systematic in synergy 
Similes Syntactically selected, I sever soliloquy 
The terror’s in the tyranny, I testify terrifically
Anticipate implicitly, complex with the simplicity

Actively averting casualty dismissing vanity, 
impacting sanity like being told to act naturally. 
factually; raps that be fatter than a manatee. 
old traps collapse when I smash like Agassi. 

Straight into your vicinity I penetrate
Regenerate and spiritually meditate, put pen to paper
Resonate, I illustrate and innovate within this space
Don’t imitate or come to hate, I emanate a realer state of deals to break

The amateur rapper syntactically slamming vernacular, 
grammar spectacular, ripping steel like claw hammers 
to produce improvement, enamoured with movement 
lucid, grooving ink and think: so fluid.

Reveal the face of real revolution
Retribution, end the fusion of verbal pollution, conceit and delusion
Restitution for complete confusion and collusion
Evolutionary illusion, soul electrocution

My castle is a marvel of martial arsenal, 
with artful archers partial to the masterful.  
carnal impulses falsified by media mindsets,
its time lets detach this bad debt drag-net.


My mic manipulates and mesmerises militant minds
Spiritual sides to cynical syllables, subliminal signs
Sophisticated pieces of political pie are critical why
Because the metaphysical is pivotal, you spit pitiful rhymes 

I pull you closer than a magnet, in this planet we inhabit,
performing poems for palates, inside boxes like ballots
tactical with prophylactic, professional wise habits
semantics Ripping this ship like the Titanic.

I’m melodramatic with this rap shit, call it magic
Pneumatic attack of pure emphatic acid, I get erratic
Pacific to Atlantic, I persist with the manic
Dynamic, mechanical panic of radicals spanning the planet

These vipers vile vomit makes me charge like a socket, 
large as bankers pockets, holding hearts like a locket. 
a clever beast of words, severs fleece from the herd,
forever absurd morals are mischievously blurred

(Agenda and Design)
We got the rugged rough flow 
Inspired by Bahamadia and Primo
Design, Agenda, now you know 
counting down to zero.

Universal Circles - Design, Ted Dunn, Ras Bee [Prod. Ted Dunn]

Colour. Huge props to Chance Son for the beat! Lyrics follow:

Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 
Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 

Her eyes dragged on the ground, steps heavy
Same route each day, all grey always
yesterday’s muck stuck on replay 
stumbling unsure of what to stay 
She tripped on the concrete, blessing in disguise 
between her fingertips lay the flower of life 
breathing its fragrance of ancient songs 
her soul began to dance, blossoming strong as…

Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 
Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 

As she caressed its petals, colour flowed down 
from the heavens until it graced her crown 
channeled through to the soles of her feet, 
Then outward bound to the souls in the street, 
people stopped, and for the first time truly looked 
at the cost of their lifeless machines, 
they questioned the loss of their once priceless dreams. 

United though alone, afraid of change
They turned to the girl in their monochrome haze
Her eyes ablaze with a zest for life 
her gaze embracing both dark and light 
the people understood the plight of the pavement, 
tearing it up to end their enslavement 
scattering/planting seeds, asking to remain nameless 
they sang this song of the ancients..

Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. 
Om, Shanti Shanti, Om. [Rpt]

Who got the funk, y'all?!  
Bigups to Seismo for the choice beat! 
Agenda reps the first verse while I bring it home with samples from the Parliament Funkadelic. 

Lyrics:
(Agenda)

(Design)
This is my open letter endeavouring to be better forever 
the veteran of clever pleasure unfettered like zephyr feathers 
dropping letters like lepers, hotter than redder peppers
Whatever the weather, I treasure us here together! 

Now get your your back off the wall like it’s scorching hot 
holding the torch high, dancing in the melting pot 
advance and enhance all you got, 
it’s not target practice, Fact is we hit the spot

Letting feet move to forge a new groove 
no words elude spiritual views of our crew 
debut styles shiftin like desert dunes
born to wild out to these funky tunes 

and make ya savour the flavor of the One Creator 
wonderous inventor of all nature, 
I nurture to provide vibes which alert ya 
to ride soundscapes like a sonic surfer, huh!
