Lyrics:

Rolling through the hood with a crack in the glass
Dent in the trunk from 3 years past
Flashing on the dash cause always low on the gas
What what ch-u looking at huh
What ch-u looking at

Police rolling up hoping they just gonna pass
Marijuana legal no more looking for grass
Still watching out keeping it real working class
What what ch-u looking at huh
What ch-u looking at

Sole falling off the shoe ain’t embarrassed
Yea it’s the same hoodie, why’d you even ask
Don’t need to explain why we taken it back
What what ch-u looking at huh
What ch-u looking at

Scowl on the prowl feeling real hopeless
Low vibration got no focus
Don’t need your fuckin’ help fuck your diagnosis
What ch-u looking at huh
What ch-u looking at

Hanging in the parking lot
Bumming cigarettes
Mindin’ our own business
Joking bout regrets
Gave up trying to change
Now we get what we get
Yea we act a fool
But your the one with threats
We ain’t looking at you
So why you all upset

Whatchya lookin’ at?
Stop and stare and laugh
Take a photograph
It’ll last longer that way
Oh snap
Spit actual facts
About this and that
By the paragraph
None of it’s an act
I just rap

What You're Lookin At

DeeP., Frawstakwa, and the Couch King - What You're Lookin At (Bonus Track)

This is the 3rd song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I have worked on together for my CKP page. I wanted this latest track to continue with the electronic hip hop vibe we had established with our previous two tracks.  Bitzone dug into his rich production archive and found a beat 10 years deep that met the criteria. This time I sent the track first to Frawstakwa to switch things up, since the last two songs I had started off. Frawstakwa came up with these deep metaphysical lyrics and I added a literal interpretation that I hoped would complement his meaning while keeping in theme with the previous two tracks. Bitzone then worked his magic and transformed the track into an electronic hip hop rock fusion. And then for a final surprise, he asked Joerxworx to join in with some futuristic EWI. In the end, I like that this track is different from It Ain’t Looking Good and Trendsetting and I think it points at a possible new direction for the next track we all work on together. 

Thank you for all your listenings, comments, playlists, radio spins, and purchases. The musical team is eternally grateful. 

Don’t loose hope, keep faith in yourself and your community, be creative, and persist.

Lyrics

Oh, this is just great 
Yo, gimme a break 
No, Freudian slip made
So, it’s no mistake
Go, psycho analyze it 
Though, am I insane
In the membrane
Or normal
It’s weird right?
We’re here but so briefly
Mere mortals
Appears our fate is foretold
How unfortunate 
Of course there’s this
Who says we have to forfeit free will
Forget about it
We are forward thinkers 
And forces of nature
Scratch that - supernatural
Look at how we have grown
And evolved
Lets explore
What’s beyond
What is known 
And accepted by all
Be omnidirectional 
Slow, in the fast lane 
Flow, like a mixtape
For, goodness sake
Over and over again 
Face total
Loss of control
Lack of faith
Don’t trip though
Effects cause vertigo
Catch wreck, let ‘em know
Fact check, general 
Search, research
Both the world and the earth
First you learn
Then you teach
Art and culture
To reach out and touch 
All of the people 
Them, no doubt indeed

Bitzone and the Couch King

What difference does it make
If at any given rate
The only thing that matters in the end is too late

What difference does it make
If at any given rate, yo!

Have you ever felt alone
In a place so dark, so vast, so cold

Everyday I pass by
The same lame busted gate 
The same 
Boarded up broken windows and
Old rusted grates
The same
Overflowing trash cans continue to accumulate with a ever-growing stench that won’t abate 
It’s the same
Neighborhood cats talking smack on da crates 
It’s the same
Families falling flat with not enough food on their plates
I’m passin’ by the same
Kids in baseball hats standing wet in wait 
Out there gettin’ rained on cause the bus is running late 
It straight 
Hasn’t changed at all 
What difference does it make
I’m still awake at dawn 
Exerting on 
Getting my debt rate gone
Word is born
What difference does it make
Cause pass generations gone
Still couldn’t pass it on
What difference does it make

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
Things just stay the same

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
We keep on playing games

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
There really isn’t even anything else left for me to say

What Difference Does It Make

A TIMELY MESSAGE FROM RS FRAWSTAKWA

Rs Frawstakwa  - Reach Out

Massive thanks again to Bitzone and DeeP. for keeping the energy going on this projects. Big up to RS Frawstakwa on keeping connected and always being down to bust some rhymes on another track. I have been digging not playing any role in the music production department and just laying down vocals.

“It Ain’t Looking Good,” similar to “I Don’t Owe Ya,” and “Deeper” are influenced by my daily commute to work and the neighborhoods I drive through. The vibrations I was mostly influenced by were very different when I lived in the bay area and worked in Silicon Valley. Santa Cruz had a slightly similar vibration to my current commute, but it was definitely more sunny, positive, and new age. I also suppose that the lyrics and vibe of these tracks are also influenced by the current societal focus on Mental Health. 

As always, I appreciate you all listening and commenting and supporting the music on my page. What a long strange trip it’s been. I wish everyone greater and deeper knowing and appreciation of themself.

when my energy is low
too much negative
gotta make it positive
yo

wind me up
and let’s go
wind me up
and go

I’ve been holding back
but won’t be holding back no more
about to show them that
this is something they can’t control

wind me up
let’s go
wind me up
go

——

no bad vibes - you can keep it
we all know that misery loves company
but you know what is priceless?
how people still buy into it and sell themselves cheap
it’s not surprising in the least bit 
once you’ve got a good thing going everybody wants a piece
but no matter how you slice it 
there’s not enough ingredients to go around 
so peace 
never mind - we’re still eating 
the recipe for success is to prepare what you need
no reason to cook books or lie this 
season the flavor of the month is different each week

——

when my energy is low

I’ve been holding back
but won’t be holding back no more

this is something they can’t control

wind me up
let’s go
wind me up

——

exercise and meditate 
the mind and body building strength
positive energy is surging through my veins

let me find a better place
I think I might’ve time and space
are all contained in their entirety within my brain

the only constant is change 
it’s a part of my process 
revisions all day
as I edit each page 
thoughts evolve and create
completely new versions
always innovate
might it pay off one day?
it already has
right?
in a spectacular display
rock steady with the rhythm and the rhyming
to the breaks
on the rise
put your worries aside
come along for the ride
and let it all fade away

——

——

when it really gets down to it kid
we’re so counterintuitive
no matter how it sounds to you
you know that there is truth to this
simply view the music biz
the way that people move within it
safe to assume
that they think that we’re stupid
mainstream media is making us used to it
open your eyes up 
the timing is crucial
enough with the foolishness
stop celebrating the worst of us
as if ignorance is cool
what option would you choose
if it was up to you to do something
about the current state of Hip Hop?
I’m producing it
putting it out there 
for the few individuals
who know and understand 
thank you for swinging through

——

Wind Me Up (production by Danke Noetic - featuring singthewindproductions)...

The Way It Is presents the long awaited "Stinks", a fun, universal, clean yet real-life and maybe political hip-hop/rap/pop banger.
Enjoy ladies and gentlemen...please share the love.

STINKS

Sirobosi Frawstakwa, member of the Instagram group "Verse of the Day" invited me to a special chat (at Wowapp, see below)- this group and the chat are dedicated to freestyle rappers who only work with their smartphones.
•thanks, that's a talented bunch of vocalists - very cool ;)•

I like the idea to bring poems to the world in such a short and unadulterated way. So I asked him if he would give me some of his verses to combine with something new and yes :)
here it is:

*How Did They Know?*

how did they know that I would flip out with the flows?
was it something I said? assuming so but I suppose
that that’s the way that it goes like how else could I ever hope
to upload a viral video as a post?
I’m nowhere near a pro but if by chance I get close
I’ll continue to show integrity gotta have soul
in this twilight zone guest starring celebrity ghosts
I just get in the spirit when I get on the microphone

without a worry in the world
working my way towards rhyming with every word
I guess you could say I’m a nerd
or something else unlike what you have ever heard of
some of my lyrics are absurd
others are profound and each of them obscure
through it all rest assured
that me without a sound it never would occur

never striking a pose in model citizen mode
political moves without ulterior motives
a modern day mogul making the most of the moment
the message in the music just keeps on giving them more
so without further adieu about to give them what for
and if you want to know the reason why I’m not really sure
it’s just a natural occurrence an artist to the core
and this has been my #verseoftheday thanks for listening yo

this is my second attempt at catching wreck mic check
but maybe it’s just not my time yet

early bird gets the worm
meaning get up ready to get out there and earn
I’m not waiting until my turn
both ends of the candle burn baby burn
I’ve been aware of my worth
I wonder what would happen if I pushed myself further
well let me finish this first
then I’ll follow up with something so good that it hurts

always been old school
since the days of my youth

#frawstakwaforyou

checking in late with my verse of the day
first off lemme say words fall where they may
nobody’s perfect simply play it all as it lays
if it works out then great if not it’s okay
but wait 
what’s it really all worth anyway?
so many wannabes constantly dropping mixtapes
so many drops in the water 
that they’re lost and each wave
that will come along washes it off on its way
tabula rasa aka a clean slate
starting all over again no remakes
thought you heard this before 
then you must be mistaken
I put this together just now for the breaks

——

and this is the part that increases heart rates
because the brain expects and anticipates
that crescendo the build up to the big finish
but this isn’t your typical written piece so don’t hate
I’m compelled to create you can tell by the way
that I generate original content a trade
secret not even just believe and maybe
you’ll begin to see this is my current state

——

but I’ve never been cool
what I say is the truth
I’m just acting the fool
a plan that’s foolproof
don’t take a super sleuth
to figure out what I do
and I doesn’t - who
I thought that you knew
sirobosi frawstakwa coming through
I will continue
to show and to prove
with flows that evoke
an emotional groove
nothing but good vibes
I’m a positive dude

——

and this is the part that increases heart rates
because the brain expects and anticipates
that crescendo the build up to the big finish
but this isn’t your typical written piece so don’t hate
I’m compelled to create you can tell by the way
that I generate original content a trade
secret not even just believe and maybe
you’ll begin to see this is my current state

——

put the pieces into place with the rhythm and the rhyming and the reading and the writing it’s arithmetic timing the breaks 
each aligned by design prime meridian see it in my mind first then find where to fit it in 
editor in chief approach J Jonah Jameson so many derivative takes let the mimics in asking if I’ve got what it takes let the critics in - but wait - never let the gimmicks in why well
this is not a game you can tell by how real it is yet so surreal seriously here it is subtly sublime surreptitious stealth mission with an air of mystery in the sky
the moves that I make are imperceptible to the naked eye just stand back squint a little bit give that a try 
rhyme schemes are patterns of thought raw data
mine seem to travel across all platforms at
high speed channeling heart and soul matters

——

#frawstakwaforyou

——

the rhythm and the rhyming the rock and the roll
somehow I’ve put a ton of time in but not lost my soul
cats are simpler than Simon we’re talking just four tones
colors blink and become blinding see spot see spots go
steady spitting this despite there’s no sponsors showing support
once I’m finished all my financial property’s unreported 
a definitively defining mockery of a moment
within which I wish to wisen up wind me up watch me go
unlimited with lines it’s impossible to suppose
how many lyrics are unlicensed that probably would explode
I’ve been ticking like a time bomb and now I’m aboutsta blow
din a din a dynamite old school Chicago
now I’m hitting new heights here for y’all in New York
always kick it with my kind while I walk through this world
third eye vision sure is viable locked in and loaded
living this here life oh my god I’ve gotta go

——

if and when we meet again it will be then
that you will begin to see I’ve kept it real
while they were playing pretend
it was never my intention to set trends
such pursuits to me amount to nothing
more than a feeble attempt
at tangible immortality let’s transcend
this simple understanding
and become one with all that there is instead
existentialism x 10
equations get in the way of the theory
too many letters to blend
beyond the horizon in the event
that I might’ve been gone I’m back now
I’m thinking in retrospect reflect
on how images mirror what’s meant
without ever physically
following any of the steps
#frawstakwaforyou catching wreck
like this like that actual fact
straight up causing effects

——

rhyme schemes are patterns of thought raw data
mine seem to travel across the savannah at
high speed 

——

#frawstakwaforyou on the one and the two 
going off on this groove like it’s awfully rude
do what I’ve gotta do I can’t call it as cool as a cucumber 
food for thought chopped up and screwed
and if you wonder who else other than yours truly
could do it like this you’ll need a super sleuth
who oughta deduce once they’ve collected clues
that they’ve probably proven I’m not even human
a monster a mutant a goblin a ghoul
or possibly super powered ill reputed
an oddity you wouldn’t want to be wounded by
battle me and leave with your ego bruised
battered and broken bloodied up with boo-boos
the mind and the body and spirit abused
so don’t bother the beauty of all of this loosely
connected top to bottom #frawstakwaforyou

Respect is something earned
Not given
Live and learn 
Stop tripping 
What would your mama say, huh?
Just gotta keep it real
How ya living?
the same thing you are living your life for
would you be willing to die for?
do you have it in you to try more?

——

how should I start this? 
well first I'm a lifelong artist 
who obviously ain't the smartest about it 
I'm honest at least though 
lots of cats out here are high on thy ego 
second I'm a simple man I see y'all as equals 
each an individual and all y'all my peoples 
free will is principle three because we hold 
the potential to know things if only we could bring ourselves to think 
and let's see what number four is 
I don't know - please I just came here to flow 
not to talk about me - let's go 
should I talk about you? I don't know 
spark of genius the gears they’re a’turning
my mind’s a machine which appears to be working 
if I am to get anywhere near where I am destined to go
then one thing is for certain
it’s all up to me the one and only person
upon whom my future depends this is perfect
because no one other than I and I 
will share the same primary concern kid
as the center of my inner circle
I understand the importance of my purpose
a controversial public service
should I do some soul searching?

Respect is something earned

What would your mama say, huh?
Just gotta keep it real
How ya living?

——

speaking to the people them ain't keeping any secrets 
I'm just reaching to achieve something that no one can believe 
I can feel it in the deepest of depths of my spirit 
I'm frequently thinking out loud you can hear it you can see 
make nothing but progress follow my own lead 
acquiring knowledge fulfilling my needs 
I either win or I learn - because I take the time to read between the lines indeed 
speaking to the people them I keep on sending messages 
no secret it's intended for the people them so let's begin 
again enter the next dimension with the way that I get it in 
the people them they digging it the wickedness 
if this isn't enough then stay tuned to bear witness when 
whatever turn of events it is that will happen hits 
the rhythm of life
this is it
time space continuum type

*Black Into Blue*
(Frawstakwa)
we’ve dreamt in the darkness ending with dawn
opening upon vast expanses beyond
the shadows of structures we’re stretching across
intersections of our systems of thought
which should serve to strengthen us all
awakening the sleeping dragon c’mon
I take it we might need to break down some walls
to let in some light clear the air knock it off

(Couch)
I’ve been holdin’ on vision goin’ strong
Days are long not looking forward to the dawn
When the rays are gone sleep can linger on
Eternal rest I’d be blessed ain’t saying sinners wrong 
I can confess but god be my witness 
I never did much harm so why do I feel forlorn 
Manifest the stress of the station I was born
You gave me hope but I was torn pessimistic 
Fellin’ the pressure to be realistic 
That’s a whole lotta haters talking
That’s my inner mocking 
That’s the life generations have been walking
That’s the future for my kids I’ve been hopping I’ve been stopping
You say it’s just me who’s been blocking
Ain’t knocking the pursuit but startin’ negative on the loot
Got me resolute this dream was never true 
For me 
Still heading black into blue 
We’ll see

(Frawstakwa)
if not that then let us pause 
in silent reflection a song
somehow inspiring awe 
black into blue and I yawn
as the eastern pearl of blonde
rises and fires a shot
from where the horizon was born
that single line on the dot
signed sealed delivered and hot
get up give it all you’ve got
we’re only here on this rock
to do what we need to so what do you want?
time for me to stop

(Stoney)
keep your head strong, when light comes, I will meet you where 

the sky will brighten up my dear, 
your eyes will finally see clear, 
outside it's too cold for this fear, 
black into blue, this bruise will heal

is the dream ending here, goodbye to the fear, from cave I appear

the sky will brighten up my dear, 
your eyes will finally see clear, 
outside it's too cold for this fear, 
black into blue, this bruise will heal

Frawstakwa - They Believed Me (prod. Danke Noetic)

Trendsetting keeps within the spirt of “It Ain’t Looking Good” by taking it’s inspiration from people I meet at work and the neighborhood I work in. Two youth I know were really proud of having fake Yeezy Boost 350s. I have never been into sneaker culture but have had friends at various points in time that were. I had never seen Yeezys before, and don’t like Kanye's personality, but I had to find out more about these shoes. I eventually went down the rabbit hole and learned more about counterfeit shoes. It reminded me of a scene from the movie “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka,” where they were talking about fake gold necklaces making your skin green (at least I think it was a scene in that movie, lol). It also reminded me of a time I went to Malaysia and someone I knew was following lead after lead, into alley after alley, to get the highest quality imitation purses and watches. Capitalism. Consumerism. Well whatever. lol

Huge shout out to Bitzone, DeeP, and Frawstakwa for regularly reaching out to make music with me. I am grateful to have so many collaborators and online musical friendships. You are all the best. Having friends to make music with and a community to share creations with is what matters the most. 

This song goes out to being in nature instead of a store.

Lyrics

Couch King

Got cheap knock offs all the way to that good shit 
Looking so fly even though it’s all counterfeit  
What you wanna buy if you wanna it i can get it
Bet it looks so real its a steal, don’t forget it
I’m on this hustle fo sheezy, breezy
Duffle full of kicks on the shoulder cause it’s easy
Russell what you think of that
I don’t know
Bro don’t knock it cause it’s cheesy 
Yo yo wez be slanging 
Hanging on the corner  
With that 90 beeper ranging 
We be trend settin’

Doesn’t matter if it is the real thing 
As long as photos looking just like magazines
Still coppin’ that lifestyle without the means
Ya still jockin’ my lifestyle like I got the cream  

Movin’ luxury hoax at hyper speed
We lootin’ big money folks cause you got them needs
These black market sneaks legit they don’t mislead 
Flexin’ dem bootleg fits with that bargain price greed 
You see it’s all about making impressions, flexin’ 
Who be first wearing what’s next n,’ vexin’
Haters commentators disrespectin’  
Fakers gettin’ caught catchin’ wreck’n 
Next time bettin’ you learn your lesson 
Upgrade fool 
We be trend settin’ 

Heart click gold

Doesn’t matter if it is the real thing 
As long as photos looking just like magazines
Still coppin’ that lifestyle without the means
Ya still jockin’ my lifestyle like I got the cream

Frawstakwa

Suckas swear they’ve got style
I sit back and smile
Kick my feet up
We might be here for a while
You see the thing about style
That is so worthwhile
Is it’s a feeling
Not a product that you buy

Nonetheless fools will try
Like it ain’t no lie
You won’t believe what
They’d do so you’d think they’re fly
And fit the image prescribed
Fashion designed
It all to keep the
Bottom line in mind
But, um
Does it pay to advertise
Or pay to play the part
Pay attention to the price
You pay they say that time
Is money but to treasure life
Can’t be measured by
User metrics influencers provide
Virtually unreal ventures capitalized
On the findings
Black Friday good tidings
Gift wrapped you’re welcome
But, you are not that fly

serious as a heart attack

serious as a heart attack
this is HIP HOP honor that
and keep it moving
exactly how all of that
has guided me along this path
continue

DANKE NOETIC produces tracks
#frawstakwaforyou reacts
by recording to it 
and if you do the math
you’ll find music results from that
so let’s do this

all about the art in fact
entertaining thoughts since back then 
always grooving
an old school artifact
lemme show you where the party’s at
get stupid

if you hear me then holla back

if you hear me then holla back

serious as a heart attack

if you hear me then holla back

serious as a heart attack
don’t even get me started man
when we come through 
we have such a huge impact 
that there are bound to be copycats
but that’s cool though

see we keep it authentic as
it ever could be to counteract
what is fake and foolish 
ignorance is bliss perhaps
but I rather would take the chance
to be human

to live and to love and to laugh
so I can face all the fears that I have
without losing
my mind even more than I already have
maintaining mental states of matter
of my choosing

if you hear me then holla back

if you hear me then holla back

serious as a heart attack

if you hear me then holla back

Psychosomatic I'm sick mind over matter I guess I know I'll manage through this although its mad I admit kausing much damage for its oowwnn advantage to get going with grammar and wit heart and soul standard equipped microphone crackle is mixed style has no master to WIP silence holds after the clip you might not know that exists while zoning out on this it's like there are shadow effects lines overcast nonetheless rhymes slowly scatter and split find you and flatten your wig smashing it in like a hammer in fist scatterbrained I would not suggest you imagining this the shock and awe just might cause cardiac arrest
