Lyrics

Verse 1
The way we walk is gona be harder than most
we gotta be stronger than most, hotter and colder emotions
We comin’ and goin the memories of me holdin you
these feelings are overdue but I’m going to be 
doin what I have to do to help me to get through to you, 
I care for you just have to let you know I’m over here
This overture has got me falling tears, (just hold it there)
It’s cold in here but I’m over fear, driving on wit the right gear
It’s a little bit harder then I’d bear, wish you were near 
wish you were here
That’s what I say to myself just before I go to sleep,
feeling deep with you surrounding me it’s triggering
emotions and it’s leaving me open to every token
that you’ve given me, appreciating everything  
understand the concept so openly; coz now I can finally see
That you’re, always there for me, no matter where you are
And even though you’re feeling far (feeling far)
Just look into your heart
Chorus
No matter what you say
We walk our separate ways 
the way we have to go

I’m looking for your smile 
Together we will walk
The way we have to go

Verse 2
The way we walk is gona be harder than most
we gotta be stronger than most, but you know it’s getting better
The letter that you written me I’m reading it again ta
Recapture all the moments all the happiness to remember
The nights that we had met together I would never 
Forget the moment you saw me 
you would hug me so, tightly 
you would always nearly choke me
You didn’t let me go for twenty minutes 
but I enjoyed every single moment that I was in it
Flashing back to conversations that we had
Talking there for hours as you be sittin on my lap
And you be telling me the future that you and I had planned
, And even though we’re not allowed to see eachother, man
I swear to you I’ll wait until the timing will be right
And until then I send you all my love and care from the inside
And hope that you’re alright, everything that you do
I wish you luck I hope you’ll pass coz I’m always loving you


Chorus
No matter what you say
We walk our separate ways 
the way we have to go

I’m looking for your smile 
Together we will walk
The way we have to go

No matter what you say
We walk our separate ways 
the way we have to go..

The Way- Illicit Ft. Camille

And I’ve been there for you
And you’ve been there for me
These times are changing girl
Journey to awakening 

It’s time to let you go   
Just wana let you know
Some things we can’t control but you should take it slow
Verse 1

He’s surrounded by people, but why does he feel alone?
Somewhat he’s treated equal, even though he’s overthrown
And he’s got some potential, even though he’s still unknown
He knows that it’s essential, to know the road he is goin’

He’s workin’ every night, with every dream in sight
He’s gona be successful, he knows that its his right
He’s gona make it big, every time he hits the mic
He knows his flows so sick, everytime he spits a rhyme

But he knows that things will change, he’s never gona be the same
To reach that hall of fame he’s won the game and he’s overcame
the obstacles that’s made him fade and the people that’s been in his way
He’s willing to pay to change his fate for the people to relate

 Never liked the way I was
Coz the way I was wasn’t good enough
Coz I knew that every little thing 
I did wasn’t gona make me tough

I’m never gona loose my dream
If things are the way they seem
Gona reach my destination
Even if I have to swim upstream

Chorus
It’s time to let you go   
Just wana let you know
Some things we can’t control but you should take it slow
 Let go, Let go,
I guess we have to let it go

Verse 2
Look around you and what do you see 
How may you feel at that moment you’re leaving me
Things may be difficult, and even unfair
, She may not know it but, there are people who care
  
I know things change but boy we gotta learn to grow
Broken promises and lost of trust in letting go       
 
Chorus
It’s time to let you go   
Just wana let you know
Some things we can’t control but you should take it slow
 Let go, Let go,
I guess we have to let it go 
Courage takes you far
 just finding who you are
And even if you fall apart just use your heart

Let go, Let go,
I guess we have to let it go 

Bridge

Let it go Let it go
From afar
Even though things have changed you be leaving from the past
Let it go let it go
Everyday been going back
But you know theres nothing you can do so you leave it in the past  
 
Let it go Let it go
From afar
Even though things have changed you be leaving from the past
Let it go let it go
Everyday been going back
But you know theres nothing you can do so you leave it in the past  

 
And I’ve been there for you
And you’ve been there for me
These times are changing girl
Journey to awakening 
It’s time to let you go   
Just wana let you know
Some things we can’t control but you should take it slow


Chorus
It’s time to let you go   
Just wana let you know
Some things we can’t control but you should take it slow
 Let go, Let go,
I guess we have to let it go 

Courage takes you far
 just finding who you are
And even if you fall apart just use your heart

Let go, Let go,
I guess we have to let it go 

Let go, Let go,
I guess we have to let it go 





Let Go- Illicit Ft. Helen Chan

Here it is, a new song on spiritual awareness, unity and change. Awaken yourself and set yourself free. Featuring Huajianmu from Semi MC's and Jess Bailey from the band Fables. Produced by Illicit of Eric Lin Music.

Lyrics:

*Intro*

The Tao that can be told, is not the eternal Tao
The name that could be named, is not the eternal name

When people see some things as beautiful,
Other things become ugly

When people see some things as good,
Other things become bad

Being and Non-Being 
Create Each Other
 
Verse 1- Illicit
 
I’ve been changing direction, to the things I’ve been saying
Been waiting for too long these crossroads inter-relating
I’ve been moving forwards towards a new story  
A new chapter in my life is a new direction that I’m going

Been flowin’ and knowin been letting things go unfolding
my true self without a doubt is all beautiful and knowing
Awakening to the fact, awakening to truth
Awakening past the boarderlines which defines you

To the point where you understand, that you’re a part of a greater plan
The point where the infinite manifests, within the palm of the hand
And everything that began with the power of thought
Provoking a movement within which started it all

We’re reaching the end of the current age,
 a revolutionary stage,  transitting towards a new dimensional phase
The reason why we’re going through so many changes these days
It’s because of the shifts within the quantum vibrational planes
 
It’s time to connect back, plug in to our source
But many people forgot why they came here at all
And we’ve lost all the causes and all the understanding
We’ve lost the unity within ourselves and our families

And the wider society and the universe and humanity
What is happening with the world without power of unity
And all the doctrines and teachings that’s made to enlighten see
Made redundant with the lower vibrational frequencies

I’m tryna spread the love, to unify our conscious state
But without the collective help, my spirit decays
I fear it be too late, the time is running out
In order to make the changes, 

We have to start now.


Chorus

My love helps me to change
My hearts finding my own way

Find the Truth inside of you
Let it set you free

Let it set you free, 
let it set you free, 
let it set you free

Then you’ll see..


Verse 2- Huajianmu
 
Let’s take a little time to sit back and reflect
And think of simple things like love and respect
Dignity and humanity, care and gratitude
Humility, kindness and with a friendly attitude

We’re here on a journey a lifetime of learning
Who knows with a tip top soul we’d start yearnin
To look inside and use the source as our guide
To navigate our life as we feel with our mind

Body and soul from when 1 became 2 
then 2 became lost but still had virtue
confused? One: your true face, 
the divine inner spirit born from Heavenly Grace

then there’s Two the temporary physical body,
 that we commit so many evils with, we didn’t know we even did,
who we trying to kid? 
The physical self was to manifest the inner state of spiritual health,

Then what about now, well I’ll leave that up to u
everybody got a conscience but also a lot of nonsense
what’s this? I know it might seem strange
but lets all get together to make this world a little better

and use love to create a masterpiece, cause if you master these
you’ll be a master of peace so please…
for those who came before, who laid the foundations for the later generation,

the saints and sages, all from different denominations
who lived their life using the source of creation
compassion lets spread it all over the nation 
and show the world that love is the cure, for sure

Chorus

My love helps me to change
My hearts finding my own way
Find the Truth inside of you
Let it set you free

My love helps me to change

Let it set you free, 
let it set you free, 
let it set you free….

LYRICS

Verse 1 (Microdot)

All the games that I played, All the tracks that I made
Are you even listenin to the words 
that I’m layin down for the people that are slaves?
To this music industry shit, All the people slaving in the streets
All the homies that are grindin hard, 
grindin harder than ever to get out of the streets

To other folks that are watchin kids, 
hiding away from the truth gotta die to live
Harvard or homeless boy you take a pick, 
make the choice that will define the life you live

Quit your live or die attitude, 
I don’t know if You don’t see what I see in you?
The worlds colder than you think boy,
Grow up still got a lot to prove boy
Bad days come and go, how you feel I already know
Time heals pain, Pain kills time
 Homie let it go lord show me a sign let it show let it show

Why we so blind to the world, I don’t know
Let the liquor pour for the times we were broke
Let it fall let pour let it soak give me more
Let it go , you wana hand let me know


Chorus
Live Die
De-ny
Hold Time
Truth Lies
Verse 2 (Illicit)

With the world being this way,
Is everything really okay?
When theres people dying everywhere
every single day while the rich man gets paid?

There are people living in the streets
People starving everyday, when you’re about to eat
But there’s nothing you can do when the system that we live in 
brings benefit to elites

Man I’m feelin like the world has bin changing these days
In a way that’s accelerated
And I hated the society 
so I drank every time just to numb it all till I’m feelin’ faded

All I cared was the pay slip I couldn’t face shit 
didn’t have strength to make a statement
But I really kept grindin’ on, made through the distance 
now I’m on my way to make a difference

Gotta live more smile more fight for
the things that’s important to everything you live for 
Holding on to every opportunity  you can see
Within yourself and everyone you gona meet

Coz one day you be lookin back (lookin back)
Some days you’ll be feelin bad (feelin bad)
But understand that you’re part of the plan  
And all the good that you do is gona come back
Downbad.

Chorus
Live Die
De-ny
Hold Time
Truth Lies
DOWNBAD


Truth Lies- Microdot X Illicit

"True spirituality is when you stop defining yourself as a "christian" or "buhddist" or "muslim" but rather coming to a realisation that we may all be walking different paths in life, but we are all aiming for the same destination."

Lyrics:

Are we livin for the life we’re livin
Or  are we livin for the things we’re given’ now
things aren’t the way that they used to be

They used to be now..


Verse 1 (Illicit)

Rappers these days rappin’ about pay
People these days talkin’ bout the stacks they make
Life’s easy and the world’s a better place
But it still feel like we’re locked in this cage

We’re blind, nope we’re still livin a lie
It’s like they got a blind and pulled it over our eyes
it’s an illusion where we think we control our lives
The kinda mentality they want, in our minds
 
The state chooses the things that we should portray
Materialistic gain is the focus for today
With people only bothered with income and pay
Forgotten why we came, here in the first place

And with all this goin on, how can you enlighten me
When organised religion segregate society
Our eyes are open but we walk without seeing
Whatever happened to our spiritual wellbeing 


Chorus x2
Are we livin the life we’re livin’?
Or are we livin the life we’re givin’ now?
things aren’t the way that they seem
When are we gona wake from this dream?

Are we livin the life we’re livin’ now?
Or are we livin the life we’re givin’ now?
things aren’t the way that they seem
When are we gona wake from this dream?


Verse 2 (Esoligh)

We live in this environment ,
Designed by eyes above the shit,
Fenced and marked out of it,
We have no fucking ownership
 
The rich run roughshod over it,
The rest of us are crushed by it,
This Babylon exists internationally,
To prop up a false economy
 
What is our identity ideally?
Do we have an option of free really?
Really we must introspect,
To have any helpful hope of it
 
Samsara by any other name,
Would smell this way, our blame,
Is that we look to external things,
To define the blissful states within
 
So that’s what I’m sayin’ to all a y’all,
Looks up to Maitreya,
Look through your eyes to see,
What’s beyond the crystal ball reality,
 
Go free with me, peace


Chorus x2
Are we livin the life we’re livin’?
Or are we livin the life we’re givin’ now?
things aren’t the way that they seem
When are we gona wake from this dream?

Are we livin the life we’re livin’ now?
Or are we livin the life we’re givin’ now?
things aren’t the way that they seem
When are we gona wake from this dream?

Verse 3 

(illicit)
You can know scriptures and the teachings inside
But whats the point of knowin’ it all if you can’t even apply
them, in life and thats the reason why we go through
Pain and suffering to learn the lessons that we ought to

I guess it doesn’t  matter, what path that you take
Coz no matter which path, we’re all aiming for the same place
So appreciate, theres never one set way
Understanding, learn ta’ grow with no hate

(Esoligh)
Yo I’m in this place called Christchurch,
Interesting how the world does its works,
Down here presenting my developing ideas,
Breaking walls, alleviating deepest fears
 
See this is the way we rise above mud,
Bathing the lost in our holy ways of love,
Doing the most constructive things we can,
Released in rhymes live like home made jam


Chorus x2
Are we livin the life we’re livin’?
Or are we livin the life we’re givin’ now?
things aren’t the way that they seem
When are we gona wake from this dream?

Are we livin the life we’re livin’ now?
Or are we livin the life we’re givin’ now?
things aren’t the way that they seem
When are we gona wake from this dream?


When we gona wake from this dream?

Now i know that you're gona be
Someone that i'm always gona see
And oh god here we go 
this is gona end and oh we know

Coz i couldnt pretend that i'm feeling it again
That fuzzy feelin in my chest that's taken over ma head
Yea i'm feelin scared someone help me over here
Cardiac arrest and theres nothin' that i'd ever dare

To do when my future is lookin so unclear
But one look in your eyes wipin away all my fears
And you, came to me, understanding what I do
As if you knew what i was goin through,
is this too good to be true?

Verse 2 (Helen Chan)

How i never thought i can feel like this again, 
the silly playful fights and we end up holding hands. 
The cute messages late at night, 
love when im holding you by my side. 

But some times when things go wrong, 
i know that you will stay strong with me.
i know that this may sound crazy, 
but i may have found my one and only.

i never woulda thought that you would be the one,
cause i know that you'll never leave me even youre gone.
and i cant stand the thought of you leaving, 
knowing i have you is hard to believe an' 

maybe we will fight and maybe we will cry, 
but we are always gonna be here for one another.

from a song he wrote for me and he said...

Heat You've Given Me- Illicit ft. Helen Chan

LYRICS

It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x2])
It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x3])

Now deep down inside
I know, it cuts like a knife
But I'm too proud to show it
Pain in my chest (it feels)
Like I lost my breath
But she just doesnt know it
So many things, I'm dying to say
But I can't seem to tell her

It's killing me, i know that she wants to leave
But I'm not gonna beg her to stay (no)

Cause i got ma pride, and i’m not gonna cry, 
there won’t be tears no more
I’m not gona lie but its getting hard to fight, 
everything this ain’t no war
She could never see, anything, 
i’v been really going hard never lookin back
What it really means
Is that i’m moving on with time 
And theres no need to call coz i’ll be fine

You don't have to worry about me
Girl, I'll be fine
You don't have to call me again
Girl, it's alright
You don't have to ask me if I will be okay
Girl, I'll be fine
Girl, I'll be fine

You ain't got to tell me that we can still be friends
You ain't gotta make no excuses and pretend
Cause I'll be fine, said I'll be fine
There's no need to call

It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x2])
It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x3])

Now I can't believe, that I fell so deep
And I let my heart open
Now I gotta try, to keep it inside
These words, are better left unspoken

Cause i got ma pride, and i’m not gonna cry, 
there won’t be tears no more
I’m not gona lie but its getting hard to fight, 
everything this ain’t no war
She could never see, anything, 
i’v been really going hard never lookin back
What it really means
Is that i’m moving on with time 
And theres no need to call coz i’ll be fine

You don't have to worry about me
Girl, I'll be fine
You don't have to call me again
Girl, it's alright
You don't have to ask me if I will be okay
Girl, I'll be fine
Girl, I'll be fine

You ain't got to tell me that we can still be friends
You ain't gotta make no excuses and pretend
Cause I'll be fine, said I'll be fine
There's no need to call

It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x2])
It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x3])

Coz i’ll be fine, said i’ll be fine
There's no need to call
It's better if we don't speak at all
