takes 1, 2, and 3...

I feel good
-
just like I knew that I would
I figured that I could
and I felt as though I should
anything else?
that is all
understood
I’m good
good feeling
good feeling y’all
a good feeling
-
I figured that I could
and I felt as though I should
anything else?
that is all
understood
I’m good

——

who me? I can’t complain
because you see I’ve been through thangs
truthfully I became
who I am now due to the pain
if you knew me in my youth
then I do not need to explain
if you didn’t you might wonder
lemme break it down, okay?
born and raised in a time and place
overrun by drugs and gangs
parents wanted to keep me safe
but but I lost them both to AIDS
before I was a teenager
my world in disarray
couldn’t help but feel ashamed
or play the blame game
what was I supposed to think maybe
that it was simply fate?
sometimes when something’s broken
that’s what shows you what it’s made of
put the pieces back together
and you pray that they will stay
as for me I took those pieces
and I put them on display
as a constant reminder
and then continued on my way
took it all as life lessons
that I learn from to this day
make the most of each moment
because you never know when
you’re gonna undergo an
event that’s life changing

I Feel Good

everybody...

here we are near or far all a part of the whole
individual souls come together let’s go
have a good time 
why not swing through to the show?
gotta live life
that’s what it’s for
don’t you know?
if you didn’t before
you do now so there’s no
excuse for not moving forward anymore
we could all rise as one 
it’s called #mutualsupport
I do me you do you
it’s all under control

everybody...

put in work
for what it’s worth
energy exerted
returns
with such a force
never even heard of
a surge
of power bursts 
achieving my purpose
each verse
has been dispersed
as a public service
I’m not a public person
but let’s be certain
I do this for my people
my Earthlings
we all are equals
just as sure as we also are all so different 
I see you
word up 

everybody...

Everybody

commercial breaks…

might as well try and tell who is my clientele
instead of cry and yell that no one buys or sells
volatile investments prices fell spiked as well 
my intel finds the bell curve quite compelling 

not acting like this verse is great
in fact I’ll be the first to say
back to the rehearsal space
right after these commercial breaks 

the money the power the fame the greed
it’s funny just how the same old things 
keep coming around like basically
we’re young and loud and dumb and proud
it’s nothing now ‘cause maybe we
finally might be able to see
being human’s beginning to become quite cool again

its all about the process that brings about the product 
mass produced marketed audience targeted
call and response shared consciousness
#frawstakwaforyou cold rocking it

celebrate each moment that you’re blessed with
especially since 
no one else will have your perspective
or penchant for wit
because you are your own person
never forget
that you possess the power to make a difference kid
no matter the system which 
we live under raise your fist
it’s up to us to resist
in other words to exist
simple as flipping a switch
adjust your thinking a bit
and I salute you for your efforts
let’s do it again

——

three cheers

congratulations
it looks like you’ve made it
so the gang’s all here

——

you are in the place to be to do your thing true indeed
so make moves and proceed breakthrough Godspeed
chosen few out of many and we are family
it’s that human connection that’s conducive to peace
be at ease while the music embellishes on a theme 
tap into the subconscious enjoy the livestream
let’s achieve those good dreams that we’ve had in our sleep
hit the snooze button please and let’s continue to the beat
witches’ brew in my cup raise it up feel the steam
slowly breathe and take a sip and take a trip with me
get some dialogue going documentary
trust me I’m a doctor not I’m not I’m an emcee
straight up speaking simple truths over instrumentals my treat 
and I’m sure there was a message it wasn’t about me
three cheers to my people in the place to be

Playing Pieces On The Board

IPG1

Playing pieces on the board Game plan moving forward 
Another gap to be filled Another track to be killed
Holding down interest like treasury bills
Until it's time to cash out lets chill
Sometimes things align
In the zone in my mind Let me unwind
Feeling the rhythm and the rhyme Bright as sunshine
This here’s cash flow No ATM line
Now you hear it let’s go If you like it say so
Holler back and let me know The feedback’s good to go
Feel that vibe then follow Close as a shadow
Beats pumping turbo From Moscow to Chicago 
Smoked it like tobacco on point like an arrow
So where do I begin Never really did fit in
No beginning no end Always hustling for a living
alert Focus driven Gotta make the right decisions
Mistakes unforgiving
They’re Playing pieces Im just board 
knew they couldn’t resist 
but they Can’t breach this fortress
Nice try but you missed
Step back I insist Begin to spark some interest
now the hottest on the hotlist Trust this mass appeal
And that’s the real deal Reversing the field 
And a shoutout to my haters Thanks for keeping it real
Keeping it 100 Let me know how you feel
remember nothing free Got that music therapy
Do what you want but don’t try to play me
You’ll get smoked like a blunt Just for kicks like a punt
Here’s the scenario sick with the flow
Take you so high oh ohh vertigo!!!
Hang tight baby Aight come on let’s go
Check the profile now you got that front row
and I’m -going for the gusto Can’t stop hell no
Studio mixed done so its pristine audio
Straight from the underground so you must know
I Elevate and fuse the sound Pumping stereo
Can’t wait to get down it’s a party Let’s go
Shaking Hand and greetings From people I don’t  know
It’s that Lou Osiavo 
taking off like a UFO
----------------------------------------------------------------
Frawstakwa 

so let’s go if it’s time is it your turn or mine
I don’t know but it’s fine like for sure don’t be shy
move forward finally open my eyes 
sometimes things align in the zone in my mind
where the soul comes to life where I focus my might
where the whole of entirety gets down tonight
that Lou Osiavo
the rhythm and the rhyming
in your system with the science
if you build it they will buy it 
submission so quiet just listen no lie
truth spitting in spite of
society’s tries and attempts
to tempt I and I them too sly
but not so much so to do such 
so who’s next in line?
get disruptive and restructure 
wrecking the mic
like check mic check one two get live
sirobosi frawstakwa funky fresh fly
feel the flow foolish child
this is wisdom get wise
chip off the old block so cool it’s a crime
smooth criminal that you have been struck by 
with a tip of my hat moonwalk on the side
get electric go digital or die
get physically psychic the pathos of style
the form and the function featured in each file
and performed with a smile
that’s my word and here’s why
we put forth what will be 
so I better make my energy work for me
and my loved ones and while
Im at it I might as well lace it with these lines
the lyrics you already know I lock it down tight 
right on - huh

Playing Pieces

Lou's MultiVerse

blessings...

——

each moment given is a gift
a miracle
opened to experience 
whats spiritual
so I’m living life like this
here we go

——

awakening taken away 
by the grace of an unshaken faith
for goodness sake 
facing my fate shoot straight 
through all of the pain and the anguish
that couldn’t break me
blessings were placed that have saved me
so many thanks to be made
that shouldn’t wait 
no way to repay all the favor
except to pay forward the love and support
wouldn’t you say?

- so
turn to your neighbors and tell them
blessings upon you
again and again then
blessings upon you
so that they get the message
blessings upon you

and that’s not all I just can’t help it y’all
gonna pass that positive energy along
in fact it’s as if negativity is gone
yeah that’s not the case but see there ain’t nothing wrong
with imagining a perfect world that’s beyond
understanding but I’ll get it before long
so what’s happening? I’ve put it all into song
to capture this blessing my people c’mon

——

blessings upon you

Blessings Upon You

The Subconscious

old school
new school
so cool

——

life is good like it should be 
unless if I misunderstood the 
meaning of life itself 

I admit that I could be 
so far off it would put me
needing to find myself 

this discovery would be
proof that something’s afoot each 
step definitely helps

for my mental health
and spiritual growth
it is all heartfelt

——

it will all make sense in the end

——

it is up to you 
to decide
only if you choose 
do or die
play by my own rules
who am I?
yeah I’m that dude
super fly

——

it will all make sense in the end

——

this is for the living
this is for those that passed on
for the spirit
this is for you all

for my wife and my kids
the reason why I exist 
might as well try with this 

love
for all of the above
I could not say enough
how it’s lifting me up
what

something special
need not to mention 
but I want to
especially since 
I was sent to

my mission
the mind
of the rhythm and the rhyming
and it’s about time 

running out of time
and we’re running out of options
running for our lives

something sacred
so precious
bare naked
the essence of
whatever we make it

right here right now
no fear 
it’s the power
to simply be

——

it will all make sense in the end

It Will All Make Sense In The End

Frawstakwa
let us begin...

so nice of you to check in 
it’s time to do this again
and so with no delay
- let us begin
get up to get down
- let us begin
get up to get down
- let us begin

in the beginning the rhythm and the rhyming are gonna bring it
you can feel it it’s really something right - soon as you hear it
feel the spirit - feel free - liberate the senses
but enough about that bring it back next sentence 
the beginning of the ending of everything impending 
they’re just sitting there defending decisions and pinching pennies 
ain’t believing for a second this system has my best interest
in mind in fact I’ve figured it out - it feeds on energy

yo
try to stay on topic
I am frawstakwa by the way
who are you?
never mind no time
to conduct interviews
you’re hired you’re fired
you win or you lose
draw either or neither 
randomly choose
with a shrug and a grin 
straight making these moves 
Hip Hop the very fiber
of my being dude

so nice of you to check in 
it’s time to do this again
and so with no delay
- let us begin
get up to get down
- let us begin
get up to get down
- let us begin
--------------
IPG1

Can’t let them pull me down————uplifted
——the vibe so wicked——boom
    This is duty bound——-blessed and gifted
     Always true to form—abstract and twisted
     So don’t get it wrong—the flow’s still liquid

blazing each and every track-words amazingly stacked
Back to back ——check the Punch 
With each impact—-boom
Yeah—- got it like that—-so gimme —room
I said—-Fool step back—-or seal your— doom
We’ve had that chat—-you know the rules
Laying down the Mac—-Boom
Spitting fire all the time
Check the rhythm and the rhyme
Wrecking  beats with every line—-Boom
I came here to have fun
opposition on the run
Slam the mic when I’m done—-Boom
Add me to your A List
Party when they play this
This another dope mix—-Boom
Call me IPG1
This is how I get down
Born to rock the underground—-Boom
Gimme room (X3)

Let Us Begin

already know this
without even mentioning
knowledge is power
you paying attention yet?
gotta stay focused 
omnidirectional
take control of our own
data collection y’all 

minding my own business is a bonus
of being the boss self employed stay focused 
frawstakwa digital is the modus
operandi make some noise then upload it
speaking to my people forever i feel the need to
keep on bringing something real whether or not if you notice 
it’s pretty bogus when you think about it though 
because algorithms know just what to boost once posted
sometimes it seems as if this is the closest 
we might get to freedom unless if we open up
ourselves to the universe every moment
let go of what’s holding us back begin to grow
form from the core put the process in motion
without cutting corners but still out of order 
jack of all trades call upon cross promotion
message is sent multimedia approach

Already Know This

here’s the script...

Lou Osiavo 88bpm...

——

thank you for joining us
and now for the feature presentation 
Here’s The Script
by Lou Osiavo 
enjoy

——

memorizing lines and playing the roll

lights cameras action they’re selling their souls

here’s the script watch them do what they’re told

taking stage direction to a whole other level

——

Lou Osiavo takes 1, 2, and 3
practice makes perfect state this true indeed
keeping it real - what would my movie be?underground independent a niche crowd thing
old school Hip Hop classic straight to dvd
chunky vhs uhf beta test each
containing footage that should earn a film degree
documenting monumental tracks for the streets
bombed wall backdrop the dj the emcee
party people nonstop giving y’all what you need
box office blockbuster boom bap to the beat
put some bodies in them seats 
get up to get down
they can’t help it can’t you see
there’s something going around
viral videos leaked
here’s the script - I’m flipping it 360*
reel to reel with references you’ve never seen
roll credits 

——

Lou Osiavo takes 1, 2, and 3
I am frawstakwa and he is IPG (1)
here’s the script 
when you catch us on the scene
I am on the microphone and he is on the beat (what)
Lou Osiavo takes 1, 2, and 3
thought you knew already don’t worry about a thing (huh)
here’s the script 
they all compete for the lead
don’t start none won’t be none no problem peace

——

Lou Osiavo takes 1, 2, and 3
and we’re back with something so amazing it is
one of those things that makes you sit back and think
dramatic effects form film theories or not
we’re still sure to award the academy
catch me on the red carpet shuffling my feet
so shocked by the static they shriek
Kremzeek!!!
here’s the script
we’ve learned to read between the lines by inserting internal rhymes schemes just like these
 breathe (chill)
brief pause suspense you can feel (thrills)
so surreal a realm sci-fi for real 
tales of fantasy CGI see my vision come to life by at least like the third act the first or second scene
comedy of errors the horror it humors me
slasher disaster artist where the story leads
character development through chemical dependencies
depicted on the silver screen golden era film noir no matter where you are n’ah mean?

——

Lou Osiavo takes 1, 2, and 3
I am frawstakwa and he is IPG (1)
here’s the script 
when you catch us on the scene
I am on the microphone and he is on the beat (what)
Lou Osiavo takes 1, 2, and 3
thought you knew already don’t worry about a thing (huh)
Lou Osiavo takes 1, 2, and 3
don’t start none won’t be none no problem peace

——

here’s the script 
the screenplay isn’t written right
rig the mic specifically to pick up the little things
please
so much has been put into this production like
look there’s an Easter egg and a hidden link to free streams
from the team so highly prolific you’d expect there’d be director’s chairs in multiple locations but you see
we are all about Ideas Into Action and it also so happens that we both do our best thinking on our feet
the point of view is based upon perspective with various wide angle shots and low sweeps
don’t sleep if you even blink you could miss it that moment so poignant yes yet so brief
but then again isn’t everything basically just a series of events a sequence of themes
a sitcom perhaps or simply a dream or some other thing that is beyond belief?
let’s see
press the playback button or something reviewing it under conditions in which you can focus on each
individual detail or just ride with it until the end?
peace

oh

here’s the script

Here's The Script

Chorus
We’re all pieces in this game checking out checking in
surprised that you showed —-but I’m glad that you came 
And——it’s all the same (X3)
———-——it’s all the same game————— voicing

Key holders and gate keepers the numbers game 
how to get ahead what’s your username 
taking down the opposition while chasing fame 
brave and suicidal like a wrecking train 
where do you stand-- in this human food chain 
are you the king of the jungle —-or just ——caged and tame
we all play our roles ——when the time is at hand 
keep moving forward ——with no real game plan 
————-With no real game plan
Understanding only comes —-when we make a stand 
recognize-the opposition ---and takes command 
which one of us was dealt the losing hand ---
who’ll survive--- what's in the demand
are you —----in it to win it —----I know I am 
Before you plan----Gotta—— let your—- mind expand 
experience and vision —always—-goes hand-in-hand 
knowledge brings victory —-there’s no ——promise land 
winners write history ——less we understand

Chorus
We’re all pieces in this game checking out checking in
surprised that you showed —-but I’m glad that you came 
And——it’s all the same (X3)
———-——it’s all the same game


programs and patterns— that we go through
Viewing one frame at a time—then move on to two
so many questions on my mind—-but a quick review 
now it’s ten frames at a time and another breakthrough 
adding solutions to the problems ——-with the answers we all knew 
completely self-aware —-now focus—— the Grandview 
For Each action—a reaction —-and there’s quite a few 
Sometimes it’s trial and error —one step forward ——then back two
yes —————there’s always a challenge ——waiting for you
