Gotta Get Up!

(Verse 1)
Alarm screaming—-city dreaming—a new chapter unfolds
Sun peeking—-in my window—the concrete jungle glows
Eyes heavy—mind hazy—- the grind doesn’t sleeps
Coffee steaming—thoughts scheming—gotta conquer these streets
Shower spray—wash the haze—feel the water sting
Hustle fuel—pay my dues—ain't got time to sing

(Chorus)
Gotta get up, gotta get out, chase the paper, chase the clout
Stacking—dreams, lemme break it down—-every second counts
Gotta push, gotta move————ain't got ——-no time to lose
Sun's up--city's up--gotta get up—— got—- to much shit —to do

(Verse 2)
Concrete canvas—-spray paint anthems——gotta keep it real
Flow so cold—-hearts unfold——words that cut like steel
Subway rush——city bus—-rhymes ignite and spark
My paint brush——tells a story——graffiti in the dark
Meetings—deadlines——paper piles——climbing up-the ladder
through the fog——dog eat dog——it’s loyalty that matters
Family call——hear 'em all———-voices in my head
Keep on rapping——-keep on tapping——keep that fire fed

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Empire—dreams—-concrete schemes—-building from the ground
Every beat———-every street———there’s legends to be found
Rise above——-peace and love——-spirit’s —taking flight
Break the mold——-that’s the goal——to —-let the soul ignite

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

(Outro)
gotta get up——gotta get up—-ain't no stopping—-this here flow
Like a symphony—-in harmony———-the—-story grow
Every rhyme—every dime———-echoes through this jungle 
Gotta get up, gotta get up———to—-do the daily hustle

Gotta Get Up

LYRICS ROUGHLY ..  i wandered off lol and didn't use some . 
She's my eastern girl ,
in her eastern world
turning mountains into sand
with a wave of her hand 
my eastern girl ...
she's my eastern dream
makes me see serene 
from sadness to a joy
nothing can destroy
my eastern girl 
my eastern girl ..
.. and when the sunrise comes
   i look her way 
   and when the sun go down 
   i've lost my frown
    when she's around
my eastern girl .. 
(came and changed my world 
darkness into light 
and her light blinds my eyes 
my eastern girl ..

my eastern girl .. Turkish Saz .. 1st take (idea)

I decided to do a different mix of this new tune. Personally I like this version better. Let me know what you all think and thank you.

Lyrics:
In the quiet of the night, I’ll whisper low
Shining the light where the dark water flows
Yet the train of lies rolls heavy and fast
A silver-tongued serpent, weaving shadows that last

Criminals dancing in pockets of gold
While justice is tangled, bought and sold
The bribes keep rolling like thunder in the sky
As the truth fades away, who’s to justify

Time’s a thief with a grin, ticking down our days
Marching to the walls where the light starts to sway
When will we see justice? Maybe never, it seems
In this cruel reality, we are lost in our dreams

Life feels unfair, like a game stacked in jest
Some ride on the fast train, while others are stressed
Evil lurks in corners, a predator unseen
Swallowing whole what’s been, what could have been

A trail of destruction where innocence once lay
The end is coming near, cloaked in shadows of gray
Yet I’ll keep singing, my heart beats with the truth
In a world that’s forgotten the brightness of youth

So, let’s shine a light in the depths of despair
Fight for the voiceless, and show them we care
Together we'll gather, a chorus to rise
For in the heart of the darkness, we’ll ignite the skies

So let the shadows tremble, let them break and bend
With love as our weapon, we’ll rise in the end
Though the night feels endless, our spirits won’t hide
Together we’ll shine, and become the light

Let the Light Shine (Mellow Mix) (Remaster)

no.imright

Note: If your religious and offended by people trying to find clarity in the world of belief. Maybe skip this track...

I talk openly about my beliefs that religion is Earth poison just like money so I don't think I should tip toe around that here either. I'm always respectful when someone else talks about their beliefs and I choose who to mention my firm beliefs to (if anything is currently firmed up at that time)... But it's time I painted them to my music properly too So 🫡🔆

I am a spiritual person and I think it's a possibility there may be an afterlife. But religion didn't make me realise that or show me a way to genuinely feeling that. I found that myself and I would have found it a lot younger if it wasn't for the lies and indoctrination that was attempted on me as a child by church and religion.

I think it's time we called out churches for what they are for most of us and what they should be if they want to survive. They should be houses for adults to go and confirm what they believe but in my pea head opinion you need to have a good chunk of the universe learned before you start trying to figure out your spirit and soul because the way it is now... They don't let you figure out the universe properly! How can we Co exist with that ! I'm not anymore and my kids aren't anyways. We will continue to be respectful towards everybody's beliefs. But these are mine. I don't have any and the truths I'm trying to figure out will change everyday because they involve only real truth as I see it.

So if your offended... Well no one has ever apologised to me for the lies and limitations religion put on my life so... I'm not sorry because I don't need to apologise to a realm that limited my thought and still tries to limit the thought of children today 


Here's what I think of Jesus. I think he has the same spiritual power as my Grandparents do as individuals too. They give me serious power. I don't understand that fully and I probably never will in my lifetime but I do embrace it. However I accept the large possibility that it is a self inflicted hypnotic/placebo effect born of neuroplasticity in the brain. Simply, I may just convince myself. Spirituality for me is deeply personal. I only discovered it's power by discovering it myself my way. The spirits represent part of me that has existed and still exists in memory/consciousness and a merged intent. I believe spirituality might actually evolve as physical beings do. Like Jesus had his niche 2000 years ago and it sounds like he found out some things. But look, he didn't even write them down himself. Others did that and then a few version redactions later we have one book... Not for me thanks. He was a man and that was it so I won't put him on a pedestal. I will however appreciate his good spirit like the good spirits my Grandparents are and my friend Tina and all the other spiritual energy those powerful individuals project in the universe


In the grander scheme of ideas and collective projections... There is still way too much war because of belief to be ok with just letting it be... It challenges the entire existences of too many people for it ever to be a collective positive for life. When we treat it scientifically and we all meet up for that spiritual gathering... then I'm there everyday, not just Sundays


I believe we had the second coming already s lot of times. Ian Brown was was one time. Along with the rest of that band. The random dude across the street from me that I don't know. They are a new version too.

Buddhism is the closest I think I would associate myself with. Empowering the individual. That doesn't have to be selfish but it does start from a foundation that you only have your eyes and as far as we know telepathy isn't possible. So as we grow to learn our consciousness more in science, my "guess" is we will find beings connected to one energy without the need for a god because we are god and we create the world we experience

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,
