Cypher . Freestyle Type Beat  (PROD. BY HELAINA)

i rock the flow, like Aaliyah rocked the boat
like the people rocked the vote, i'm locked & load-ed-ucated
got the gift of a poet, virtue is my patience
my heart beats to the rhythm of life like a cadence
i got that pure shit, un-concentrated
so elevated, who can debate this?
i'm flyer than a pelican, higher than heavens end
shine brighter than the vegas strip 
cooler than a fresh pair of kicks, takin' it back to 1996
i was meant to go far, meant to touch the stars
cause i am one, in the paint i go hard
haters be on that and 1, i be on that mic
every time its an anthem, i don't rap for free no access granted
price ain't right unless my pockets fatter
freestyle off this lager, liquor before beer
i'm in the clear, no stagger, my middles initials are mc
opposite of light, i be steady spittin' heavy w/ the lyrical content
locked down to the beat like a lyrical convict
flowin' like the wind going hard like a mosh pit
i'm from the 9-1-6 straight out the C-A, California Grizzly
got no time for the flakes, i stay in shape
no squares in my circle & you know we blowin' purple
smoke permeatin' slow like a turtle, imma track star honey 
i breeze through these hurdles, every song is my child
& the doctor says i'm fertile, every time i spit
i give life then i murder it, what's a god to a goddess?
call me mother dart, i'm birthing kids no baby father
i dress like a man so they think i'm cocky
we'll ya'll nxggas pxssy, i bet you used to cheat on monopoly
hide a little stash under the board just to get by, no kweli
ASE IRE, ain't no stoppin' me i'm a force to be reckoned with
i don't spit that becky ish, i am legend no will smith 
trust i will get mine cause i WILL it ...

YOU'LL SEE HOW BRIGHT MI' LIGHT SHINES
ALICIA KEYS, DIS GIRL DEPPON FIYAH
COME PON MI BABY LIGHT MI UP ONE TIME
WHATEVER YOU DO BETTER NUH KILL MI' VIBE 
I STAND PROTECTED CAUSE MI SOUL IS HIGH
LAINA PON DI MIC & I BLESS IT EVERY TIME
MI GIVE YOU THAT FREE VERSE SOMETHING LIKE A FREESTYLE
I LOVE WHAT MI DO & I DO WHAT MI LOVE
SO I'LL END THIS W/ PEACE PON YOU TO ALL BLESS UP YAH



HELAINA - ROCK THE FLOW (freeverse)

& you thought it was your true love
but it was just karma & all she about is karma 
& you thought it was your true love
but it was just karma & all she about is karma 

lil mama came at you with a wrath 
with a vengeance so sweet 
you ain't even know what you was lookin' at
thought it was heaven when it was hell
now what you lookin' at?
& you act like you never saw it comin'
all them lies you told 
all that un-appreciation for a good woman
created bad habits you could never break 
now karma's back for the first time 
get ready to pay for your mistakes 
i hope you like sweets 
cause this one's gonna take the cake

she's gonna love you like she loves you
get to know you, hold you 
& show you what real love do
& you gonna hurt inside 
from your own demise 
but you got so many demons 
that you can't hide now you aint right
& she ain't go'n fight ya 
cause what is love, what is love ...
if she just flight ya
take off & fly away .. she say she go'n regret it 
so she takes the pain
& she goes to work 
& she births your children & she hurts 
but is more than willing'
cause she don't like that alone feelin'
she knows you need some healing
& she needs it too so she turns to the same bottle 
that gave you an excuse 
now you both mistake passion for pain
make lust in the rain drops on the window pane
tryna get it back .. but when its done
when its done .. tears start to run
fears start to come back
now you got this fire in your veins
& you gotta let it burn
cause you been numb for so long
its time to let feelings have a turn
but the only thang you feel is hurt

now you feel for her … 
meaning everything you feel you put on her .. hands on her
demands on her, commands on her, dirty dance on her, pay for the mistakes
of your past on her, pay for the abuse from your dad on her, pay for the 
pain you couldn't find a cure for through god on her .. put it all on her 
but she ain't strong like you .. no not as strong as you … 
now she gone like you .. you broke her spirit
laid her to rest .. you said you loved, you said you loved her,
you said you loved her .. would love her the best
…. til' death … 

karma wins, karma sins, karma, karma chameleon .. karma taught you better
took the realest love you'd ever know .. & gave it to you .. so you could destroy it
now you know what its like to be toyed with .. now your children hate you .. regret
you .. wish they never met you .. & the only friend you have left .. well .. is-you, the issue

HELAINA - Karma Chameleon

HELAINA - Who Am I To You

TRACK I GOT ON W/ ANOTHER STUD ARTIST LAST YEAR (2013) .. IF I GET THE MIXTAPE LINK I'LL DROP IT BLESS UP 

Ace Faheem Ft. Lblaze - 2 Remember

we live in a digital world but we are analog beings
being processed through food & words that lack meaning
like IDGAF, well then why are we breathing?
if we don't give a fxck then what's the point of believing?
& i am not better than, original in my thinking
but i am no different, if we get cut know we're all gonna be bleeding
RED, be the bloodshed tears we cry lucid
we're all searching for love but would rather be lucrative
drugs before hugs cause we don't know how to receive energy
we're scared of our own touch, it's like we're our own worst enemy
we pray when skies are grey, instead of every day 
but we should see the light in everything
we keep searching for some kind of truth yet every time we find it
it's not enough to keep us from severing
ties of past lives, no instead we hold on to it 
cause we never had a history
so we're steady moving forward without actual movement
progressing w/ no progression sort of like testing students 
on subjects they were never given a lesson 
if we are telling our people we need a change 
we gotta watch how we are suggesting
because we don't take kindly to suggestions or the advisement of others
how are we gonna listen to the government or any other men 
when we disregard our own fathers & mothers
i see so many answers & they all lead to more questions
i know we need it but how do we lead it 
& get started with a peaceful rebellion
all i have to give are my words through this music
i know we need more sometimes i feel like i'm failing
still my mind body & soul will never stop until we get this ship sailing 
prevailing against all odds be the picture i'm painting
ain't no selling, i'm giving, its a given i was gifted but i'm not the only one
ain't nothin' new under the sun, history is repeating
if we go against maybe this war could be won
just understand that hate breeds hate & violence breeds violence
our words hold truth that's why they give us the right to remain silent
they ask us to obey the law, the oppressor, the tyrant
but even when we do we're still hearing sirens
so tell me, what's the logic behind this science?!?
when compliance still leads to death & defiance to riots?
we got people who preach peace but the oppressed will soon rise like the story of David & Goliath
they say whats a small thing to a giant?
but what happens when all the small things decided to no longer be divided?
united we stand for something more, we demand respect
if we don't get it we gotta take it yes
the benighted will be over taken by the light 
cause we command our right to live until the very last breath

OPEN TRACK (FREE COLLABO) X Prod. By Luke White

Helaina is an up & coming music artist originally from Sacramento, CA.  Born March 12th, 1985 she grew up in North Highlands (Sac) w/ a desire to write.  Growing up she was mostly involved in team sports like Basketball & Softball but always had an urge to write music.  After high school, Helaina moved to a small town (El Centro) in southern California where she played one year of college ball.  Shortly after she moved to San Diego, Ca to find work.  Eventually she ended up back in Sacramento before returning to Imperial Valley.  She began working at a California State Prison in the records office.  Here, is where her thirst for music began to grow.  She knew a desk job and monthly pay wasn't going to cut it.  She often got caught writing lyrics at her desk, (once her work was completed of course) playing music so the entire office could hear & dancing about.  Helaina felt something missing in her life and thought it might help to transfer back home.  Once back in Sacramento her life completely changed.  She was laid off at her position w/ the state, evicted from her apartment & had no where to go.  A few close family and friends helped her through this difficult time.  Months later Helaina, had an opportunity to move to Los Angeles, Ca & so she did.  February of 2012, Helaina was a proud resident of Hollywood, Living right off Sunset Blvd.  Unfortunately, she still went through troubling times & didn't really know exactly where life was headed but she firmly believed she was in the right spot at the moment.  Although, she networked w/ a few other artists, fashion designers, producers etc Helaina never really put herself out there as an artist, still trying to find herself in the music world.  She stayed writing music, recording samples & even created a networking group for other female artists (such as herself) called "Stud Rappers" to connect w/ more artists.  Although, she felt like it was a simple group she was able to create an avenue for herself and many other artists to be heard.  Since then, Helaina moved back to San Diego, Ca where she continues to write music, record samples and network.  She started a new group on Facebook called "The Official Collaborative Network" where she connects artists from around the world on songs and promotes them on her own time.  Although, Helaina sees herself as more of a songwriter / artist she knows that NETWORKING is a huuuuuge factor in a persons music / entertainment career.  By reaching out to others Helaina has been able to receive opportunities to perform, collab, interview, etc.  Although, she hasn't put out any major recordings she hopes that her Education from Studio West for Audio Production / Music Business will help her guide her own career on the right path as well as get into some artist development.  "I've always loved music since I was a child.  It wasn't until I really looked back at my childhood that I realized all of the elements were there.  I used to write every single day since I was able to, be it a poem or thoughts or about my day.  I never knew my words would turn into music someday.  I even used to sneak my radio at night just to fall asleep.  I almost felt as if music helped raise me.  I had a sensitive child hood, not necessarily rough .. but I definitely endured abuse and some emotional moments .... having music literally made me feel safe enough to shut my eyes .... " - HELAINA - As Helaina continues her music journey she's remains open to collabing w/ as many artists as possible (which is actually her main goal for 2014 FREE COLLABS).  Helaina's goal is not only to make a name for herself but develop & grow as an artist .. be more comfortable w/ sharing her inner most feelings by recording them to rhythmic tunes.  Although, her music may very well fall under the category of "HIP HOP", Helaina isn't opposed to being open to many other genre's, in fact she embraces all artists and types of music.  She posts samples of songs she writes, some may be re-recorded later on for albums or mix tapes, others sold to artists for lyrics, some just for fun ... but no matter what she posts .. she wants listeners to know that she has something to share w/ any and everyone ... she welcomes everyone to join her on her journey and watch her develop and grow.  "It's a growing process, hell ... everything in life is a process .... i don't mind showing my faults or mistakes along w/ my triumphs ... it humbles me .. it lets me know who's really rockin' w/ me ... it also shows my willingness and encouragement of others by putting myself out there ... I know my music isn't professionally recorded ... I recorded it at home on my lap top w/ the computer mic ... lol .. most people out here frontin' talking bout "we in the lab / studio" ... nah bruh ... i'm at home for the moment .. but everything I'm doing now has a purpose ... so long as i trust the process and keep the faith ... there's no telling how far i'll go ... even if all i was meant to do was show others they could make it as well .... then i've done what i came here to do .. bless up!"  -HELAINA-
