This is my single, 'Grounded'. The track is about feeling content with who you are, and not feeling like you need to change yourself for anything, whether it be fitting in, or to make money.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
There’s so many rappers claiming to have guns in their hand like Aigis
I need money, cars, weed or they probably won’t buy this
They’d rather hear me rap about that shit on a daily basis
I don’t care if a girl needs your D like she’s tenacious
I vow to be audacious, to me it’s all ostentatious
If that’s actually your life then spit away, just don’t be basic
Don’t get on the mic and talk tough just for a payslip
what you say is real, what I say is reality
I don’t have the right to say that? I label that fallacy
Better watch my centre of gravity
I’m a grounded, well rounded personality
Rip apart the sails of those telling tales, you can’t tangle me
You can’t move the movement it stays where it is
Fandago with any hater, Kaizo Minds got you scared to live
This next kid, is blessed with, the time that he invested
I’ll work till I’m untested, then I’ll party after I’ve rested
I don’t want to be the best, I just want to be respected

Chorus
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded

Verse 2
I drop bombs like in Kaboom
Everybody clear the room
I’ll bend and snap the silver spoon
Any rapper thinking he’s king is getting put in a tomb
See I’m just messing, but this matter is pressing
I see so much second guessing
Look at your acceptance like it’s a blessing
There are so many rappers that insist they are the best
So here’s my experiment, I say it in jest
Let’s put them all in a room and ask them to decide who is better
I wonder if they’d fight it out, or add a little bad weather
The way I live my life is to be humble
Be honest through my words, even when I mumble 
I lack your swagger, I often stumble
But my dogs, they all bark now
I’ve been finding myself since the days of dark cloud
Someone tell Martin I’m the real king of the playground
I’ve dominated since the days of tig,
And you know that we keep on moving forward
And when a problem occurs, that is something we manage
I knew I wanted to be more than average
Wanted to escape the real world with no extra baggage
And that’s why Kaizo Minds is that savage

Chorus
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded

Verse 3
Man I’m so grounded
I’ve been moving up
Ever since this was founded
You won’t catch me scamming my brain with booze
That’s how you train to lose
So when I move, you know I’m moving true
Ever since this was founded
Man I’m so grounded

Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Truth Be Known]
A film star dies young, cash can't stop a low?
Tell a man that's about to crop a grow
Tell a man that's in his high vis vest getting up at crack of dawn doesn't wanna go
Try tell it to an up and coming MC then getting hype in the booth gonna drop a flow
Tell a homeless man that he can do without the money when the frost bite chopped off his toes
It's on a daily that I handle disappointment
This is having an effect on over all enjoyment
I never want to be a company man, because you're taking liberty because the company can
But I'm still trying to bang that overtime in
Am I picking over time over my thing?
The sky's gone dark and there's no silver lining
Us rappers burn out when we're no longer shining 

[Chorus: Lewis Cox]
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded

[Verse 2: Mr. Chuks]
I'm gifted so I express myself like Wale
See I don't care what it is y'all haters gotta say
I don't welcome negativity, get out of my face
Like Rick Ross in KFC, boy you're out of place
It's the remix, Chuks & Kaizo Minds be killing shit
Writing all around the clock is the only way we see fit
Know that everything I spit comes from within
We used to haters so to us it ain't no big thing
I'm victorious all I know is win
Killing lotta beats not sure God can cleanse all my sins
Speaking of Bun B, I know I keep it trill
I'm sorry Cox but on this beat I'm going for the kill
Wanna be rappers be outta time & discussing irrelevant matters
This culture ain't everyone & that is why they dreams getting shattered
This game is irreversible so I feel grounded
Rest in peace to Pac & Biggie, in my opinion the founders

[Chorus: Lewis Cox]
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded

[Verse 3: Lewis Cox]
I told you before, I knew that I was Grounded
This is the empire, so you know that I crowned it
Always putting one hundred and ten into any business venture
Used to get bullied but now I bully rappers left, right and centre
MC Lars told me that he really feels the original
Now the idea of being a rapper, that feels really official
So no time for dismissal, its time to work harder
From the UK to the world Kaizo Minds we’re growing larger
You know that we’re expanding
Careless handling, mic damaging
Cause all these excess emotions, they all need channelling
I’ve stepped up into the cypher with flows and I’ve froze
But I knew I wanted to rap with the pros
And play shows to fans that come in droves
So I’m walking with both feet on the roads seeing where this goes
Cause some rappers have as much conscience as a nudist has clothes
If you've got nothing nice to say, make like MJ and beat it
Grounded went off so we just had to do a remix

[Chorus: Lewis Cox]
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I’m coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I’ve been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I’m still grounded

[Verse 4: Lewis Cox]
If you keep your head in the clouds then you’re keeping it grounded
If you keep your feet on the ground then you’re keeping it grounded
If you keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground and you like the way this sounds, then you already know, that you’re keeping it grounded

Backpack (Freestyle)

Just something I wanted to put up on Soundcloud. Made for a piece of coursework during the third year of my Bachelor's degree where I had to make music suitable for a maths game for kids. I was inspired by the music of the 90s MS-DOS game 'The Adventures of Willy Beamish'.

Note that the reason the track ends abruptly is because it is intended to be looped.

Don't worry. Rise Above It is complete and is on it's way.

イノセントライフ  (innocent life)
