could’ve sworn, should’ve known...

Prayer Peace Calm and Tranquility

To the beat on the one on the two - frawstakwa
Bringing it on coming through - frawstakwa 
Doing what I came to do - frawstakwa
Doing what I came to do - frawstakwa

Most definitely wrecking it
Check mic check with it 
The red pen condemn them
Reread it then edited
Nothing left
What is this?
The remains of the day
Merely remnants

Into what’s next
Until last breath
In tune decompressed I’m 
So done with stress
Can I get a yes yes
Can I get a yes yes
Can I get a yes yes y’all?

To my people where you at?’

To My People

Yo
I came up in here with something to say
I’m gonna do it in the form of flows
And then I’m gonna be on my way

Out of tune out of touch you’d assume it be such
I’m consumed by this substance called music too much 
Why for mood it’s a must? how so cool on the cusp?
Of a whole new industrial revolution enough
Of this groove is like drugs inducing you suddenly
Soothing yet stunning astutely like what
Nothing to prove a couple of puns chosen few do it for fun

Get loose
Spread love

Be On My Way

Lounging out on the couch where you found me 
Sounds in amounts you can't count it's astounding 
Allow me to wow you if not no doubt we
Could postpone til later on you know that hounding
Is not my style without fashion I'm clowning
For those that don't know I stay getting down chief
Login and see got my people around me
Most definitely moving the crowd see
Whispering loudly silently shouting
Listen I'm wilding out but so calmly
Ripping the microphone up til you hardly
Recognize what it all was - pardon me
I'm partial to producing parcels 
Delivered in spite of impossible odds
Yet part of me acknowledges 
That with art you keep pushing toward passion beyond
So I continue along each route laid out - like "how could I go wrong?"
Then I turn around and do something stupid producing a popular song
How will it be received? Only time will tell so let's see once it all runs out
And the answers to all of your questions are coming right up after that gotta bounce

What it is though? (4x)

I'm an artist at the heart of it all
Deep
As far as wanting stardom y'all can keep
All that - gimme space - lemme think
It starts from simple thoughts that are unique
Hip Hop - nonstop - to the beat
Frawstakwa - funky fresh for the freaks 
Fast forward from the future antiques
Instant classics each time that I speak
With an intimate grasp of the culture I teach
And an infinite reach in the here and the now
Always and forever even if at some point we forget what it's really about

What it is though?

All my people up in here know what it is yo... (3x)

What it is though? Well, it is what it is...

#peace

What It Is Though

Frawstakwa’s verses
————
one more track then I’m done for the night
just one more track 
recording producing I’m rocking the mic
just one more track

one more track already started that
I am compelled to create dark arts my craft
cast spells using ancient artifacts
make magic pick a card any card put it back
onlookers gasp catch heart attacks
sleight of hand on them pads as I drop hi-hats
where my party people all up in the party at?
throw your hands in the air until your arms collapse
and of course we don’t care beg your pardon jack
I will continue until I am gone at last 
I’ve gotta get me some rest for tomorrow’s plans
and a busy week ahead that will follow that
but right now I’m just chilling out relaxed
on the couch at the crib headphones intact
expanding my brand and my catalogue
with just one more track

one more track then I’m done for the night
just one more track 
recording producing I’m rocking the mic
just one more track

IPG1’s Verses
——
Yeah—-yeah I hear you Homie ———-I hear you 

it took another hit bro 
yeah I’m still dope 
hold onto your headphones 
this one ain’t no joke 
Now check the spells that I invoke 
I just rock 'em to the rhythm until it hurts 
Ain’t no stopping till they’ve learned the ropes 
...and the track gets lit like fireworks
Standing on a cloud-a- style—---it smokes
——check the approach step by step
Select the concept direct the project 
context——perfect —-I’m in effect 
left unchecked —-yeah!
A necessary threat——yeah!
Spitting dope lyrics till I’m totally out of breath—-yeah!
Giving them more than they’d ever expect 
the secret well-kept 
The approach-indirect 
better believe I come correct 
—————-let me put it another way ————-
step-by-step we learn to except 
correct and connect life’s concepts
I select a protect each skill I perfect 
And to the fam that’s listening MUCH RESPECT!!!

One More Track

is it enough yet?
well this is whats next
yes it is one step
away from being where it’s going
when I’m done
check

I’m compelled to create I’m not saying that I’m great no like seriously wait it’s real simple an artist by nature cause ripple effects with each wave taken form in this function connect on a deeper level the dungeons the depths the dragons that dredge through the drudgery guess that it’s my own fault that people are judging me could just be the presentation productions keep running into snafus they budge right in front of me right before the bridge breaks kicking boom bap beats rap true scripts why lie I’m not that dude cancel misconceived notions now back to something commercial free bring your own snacks through I’ve been out of fashion since way back when so retro I’m rancid electro breakdancing so let’s go by chance if we think we might have something here that is special cherish it nurture protect so it flourishes so ask yourselves what are we encouraging a culture rich in heart mind and soul or one devoid of them all better act like you know

Is It Enough Yet

been there before...

I could’ve sworn
that my spirit was poured
into my physical form
mere moments ago
I remember it though
the memory of being born
I should’ve known
because I’ve been there before

——

    ⁃    might not seem to make much sense
but it does 
just when 
you’re not paying attention
themed content with each concept 
but how could this be?
reincarnation
someone else already made this confession
everything has already been done 
not to mention
I’ve been there and done that
so many times over
religious routine between chaos and order
that’s stuck on repeat 
randomly 
fractalized
we have only just begun to decode it
can’t you see?
that half the time
we are relearning what’s already known 
but long and forgotten
the short version
most questions are the answers we’re searching for
forevermore 
I should’ve known
because I’ve been there before

——

I could’ve sworn
that my spirit was poured
into my physical form
mere moments ago
I remember it though
the memory of being born

    ⁃    it feels so familiar
something intrinsic
somehow instilled in the
past lives lived
passed down since gills
amphibious existence 
it gives me the chills
in my webs and my fins
deep breath lungs filled
if I drown in my dreams
do I die then for real?
as I recall yes sometimes
until
embryonic thoughts bear fruits in this field
    ⁃    high yield
naturally selected 
survival skills ‘cause life can get hectic
and you better bet that it will
when you least expect it 
mass extinction event 
go get the checklist
nobody left if
there was even anybody there when we met this
Big Bang theory 
the point being the nexus
which feels familiar
because I’ve been there before

——

I could’ve sworn
that my spirit was poured

    ⁃    let us explore
all that the universe has in store
all that we do is worth its reward 
it is all up to you as for me I am bored
been there and done that 
but tell me what for
something material?
or something much more?
don’t be so serious
settle those scores
if you’re just playing games
it’s the dice that you roll
how can life be controlled?
yeah well I’d like to know
not for my own motives
I just gather info
to further understanding
beyond ego
superfluous go
with the flow
it is all about soul
it’s about that time
if you ‘bout that yo
what’s it all about?
what it’s all about
well once in a while you get the opportunity to let ‘em know
yo
I’ve been there before

    ⁃    back at it again
with a pad and a pen 
detailed documents
each tale that I spin
recycled with a grin
it’s as if it’s an infinite loop
let’s begin
this never ending story
table of contents
the framework the formula
suffers pretense
no guts no glory
but in my defense
these words cut deep
I have torn my flesh
just to bare my soul
and the scars are fresh
wounds heal slowly
but time does it’s best
and you already know what’s next
so will you choose to go with the flow
or reject 
what’s been set in place 
destiny or fate
definitely take
a second look make
up your mind like “wait
I think I’ve been here before”...

Been There Before

sirobosi frawstakwa follow me closely or not at all 

the majority will most likely miss out but y’all right here right now are on 

and we ain’t falling off ‘cause we bounce to the beat to the break of dawn 

see there ain’t nothing wrong with just having a good time with a song

——

 for the love of Hip Hop what’s up?
nothing much it’s just art and culture 
wonder what will have become customs
in the near future under the assumption
the world doesn’t rupture before then such a
time at which spirits would be summoned 
inner demons released from their dungeons
fire breathing blackening lungs 
in a post apocalyptic wasteland but I bet someone still will be playing drums 
and speaking their mind to the rhythm and the rhyming 
into the wind a distance hush
making their mark in the ash and dust
while a flock of hungry vultures circle above them 
guess that I’ve run out of fun stuff

Just Having a Good Time With A Song

divine intervention

it’s how you look at things a matter of perspective
take look st yourself that is your reflection
it look like we might as well look into what’s next then
divine intervention 

——

define the message I don’t mind but I should mention that my meaning is a finding yet to be determined guess it’s something we really would like to be certain of so observant but can’t seem to see what surely is right in front our person I don’t stress it I just sit back and check out how it all works so I can turn around and choose my direction then take that first step into the next dimension becoming one with the essence my understanding is stretching the limits until it hurts

Divine Intervention

once
upon
a time
there were
two turntables and a microphone 
come correct or don’t step leave that life alone
you see you had to have skills tell me right or wrong
if you don’t know yo listen to the song
because I’m boutsta break it down for all of y’all 
with The Way It Is come to drop the bomb
it’s that Lou Osiavo y’all already know
#frawstakwaforyou 
c’mon

eerie calm

there is something called lyricism 
which seems to be missing
I’ve seriously tried to listen
it’s of no consequence kill it
where’s all the consciousness gone to?
there’s something wrong with this picture
isn’t it odd that what’s popular
is to wallow in ignorance?
all the followers fill in for what should be self fulfillment
I feel especially sorry for those who can’t keep it real
I just keep wrecking it
real recognize real with the rhythm
and the rhyming with so much heart and soul
that’s how I’m living
