Bad To The Bone

No Doubt Remix at Level One Up

Who Am I To Judge

Worth It

Nothing is Like Anything

I Don’t Even Need a Thing

Street Stage Studio Stereo

Authenticity

Rhythm & The Rhyming

jigsaw piece lost peace y’all lemme begin 
sirobosi frawstakwa with a grin 
finna go off c’mon what’s wrong for really real
how come nobody rocks no more let’s get it in

with the #THEWAYITIS

instead it’s all like tales from the dark side
most times falsified you can tell all hype
why does the worst of us still get glorified 
in a world oversimplified gone globalized
tell you why it’s the way that it is all organized
    ⁃    for controlling minds programmed prime time
I bring the rhythm and the rhyming in my right mind
refer to my left side I’ll see y’all in hindsight

anyway lemme get back to the way that I kicked it
all off for a minute because I was feeling the spirit
feel the cause and effect like applause after you wreck it
no doubt indeed definitely breaking records 
sound barriers neglected a sonic wave’s been detected
frawstakwa the funky fresh wont you follow me for second
don’t matter in which direction we’ll find our way time will test us
the final call may be waiting but we’ll go beyond the limits
no telling what we’ll accomplish once all’s said and done and finished 
it’s the legacy you leave behind that feels your very essence

these are just
random shrugs
don’t think too much about it
if you do then you’ll bug
the industry drugs
the youth all at once
and this culture of love
has been collecting dust
confused it with lust 
the wanting it’s a must
and life a bust
you’re wasted on such
you’re worth so much more
the system’s unjust
don’t be subject
I object
have we had enough?

With a Grin

Something Always Pulls Me Back...
#THEWAYITIS

ultra magnetic alter kinetic 
force energetic this culture’s aesthetic 
indulging the senses astral projection
towards the nexus just another session
tumultuously always to wreck it
in my blood set to my pulse you can check it
⁃	something always pulls me back
which reminds me that I never even left kid
such is the message a touch too complex 
if I dumb down the lesson what use is the text?
stay on course be progressive omnidirectional 
multiple steps it’s the ultimate test
results in what’s next the expulsion of stress
which when null and void lets one evolve on this quest
⁃	something always pulls me back
which reminds me that I never even left kid
numbers and letters whatever forget it
just bundle and send them under the impression
that one of these sentences is gonna be etched in
the collective’s memory must be predestined
enough with the questions and answers let’s get it
on unless if you’re not ready yet
⁃	something always pulls me back
which reminds me that I never even left kid
some doubt my method it’s downright pathetic
these clowns just don’t get it my sound is authentic
the power embedded the knowhow the edits
the louder it gets the more bounce you can bet 
so now ready set go all out no regrets 
gather round ladies and gents for the surmounting suspense 
⁃	something always pulls me back
which reminds me that I never even left kid
fully connected I could speak forever
on various subjects you would think I’m clever
funny I’ve never been good with the enter-
-tainment end of things but felt I should be since I went there
thought that I was gone but I am not I live here
brief hiatus triumphant return everywhere
⁃	something always pulls me back
which reminds me that I never even left kid
this is #THEWAYITIS follow us yes it’s the
newest and truest of Hip Hop get with it it
see we’ve caught our breath second wind in effect
coming live and direct via internet
keep up if you can if you can’t you can get 
down and if not then you’re on your own - no sweat
⁃	something always pulls me back
which reminds me that I never even left kid

Something Always Pull me Back

c’mon - yo...

all about my music
an artist through and through
and I’m about to do this
thought you already knew

——

but if not, cool
you can already tell I’m about to act the fool
it is just what I do
every time I rock the microphone on the 1 and the 2
breaking through
with brand new and improved ways to make the people move 
get in the groove
head and shoulders all the way down to your shoes
gimme some room
because you know I’m gonna hafta do my thing too
while the beat goes boom
you can feel the good vibrations produced
out of this vacuum 
totally consumed by gloom and doom
not me my dude
positivity - thought you already knew

——

c’mon - yo...

all about my music
an artist through and through
and I’m about to do this
thought you already knew

——

but if not, cool
I’ve still got moves
Hip Hop show and prove
and I will not
stop
continue
to build block by block
a chain put to use
unlocked 
let’s just watch it do what it do
with skills off the charts
upfront good views
links dropped 
nah, it’s not click bait
screenshot if you want
but whatever you choose
thanks a lot 
I just came to break rules
basic laws 
somehow don’t apply to
the way I drop
knowledge it is true
major flaws
but we all have a few
made the call
from the cuckoo’s nest flew
go crazy y’all 
too wild for the zoo
off the wall
straight tear off the roof
are the floors gone?
thought you already knew

c’mon - yo...

Giving The People What They Want 90bpm

Frawstakwa

giving
the people what they want
as well as what they need
we just figured why not?
the real thing
it’s coming from the heart
something you can feel
right from the very start
living
or whatever it’s called
universally
is about bringing it on
speaking
from me unto y’all
I’ma stay in full swing
while the world still revolves
its the rock and the roll
the rhythm and the rhyming
locked and loaded
with limitless lines 
drop bombs that blow up
the building it’s blinding
so awesome it also
assists with insight
such a shocking show
without shimmer or shine
no facade official
funky fresh so I’m fine
with giving
the people what they want

——
IPG1

we want
more power for the people
more voices more choices
it’s the reason that we meet y’all 
being blunt
we’re one hell of a crew
doing whatever it takes
to make this dream come true
up front
thats right no in between
the alpha the one
yeah the dominant team
what counts
is we bring you all the goods
the vibe the groove the rhymes
just like you know we would
now you know how we do 
tight ship tight crew
we go for the gusto
we’re driven so we must though
broadcasting the message 
at all levels let’s get this
and the message is simple
more power to the people (X2)

Giving The People What They Want

That is That

Get over yourself 

I’m so and so
I’m this I’m that
But deep down you’re just
Wick wick wack

—

People make believe but the truth is plain to see
It is bigger than you and me 
    ⁃    get over yourself
Fairy tales in season in this music industry 
I just figured there’s you and me
    ⁃    get over yourself
Play pretend appearing to represent the people 
Who could it be but you and me
    ⁃    get over yourself
Maybe when we near the full extent of our reach then
They will know it was you and me
    ⁃    get over yourself

——

F R A W S T A K W A - frawstakwa from your town USA 
All the way around the world and back you could say
I travel through the written word whether on stage
Or online with the wicked freestyling  lyrics come to life to the beat 
Turn the page
Not the best not the worst not the first not the last
And no I’m not the one I’m the one and only - wait 
    ⁃    why with all the testimony
Is it all a testament to glory and to fate
Give respect get respect always keep it real
Recognize real represent change

Get Over Yourself

To be able to 
See straight through
What’s in front of you
Or disappear
Into thin air
Whatchya wanna do?

Be invisible

Walking alone and I’m looking around
Caught in the zone but I’m good for right now
Won’t stop til I’m home never stood with the crowd 
I just rock them then roll out like “poof” in a cloud 
I’ve often been known to be cooking up sounds
On the spot on the sofa not out on the town
You can’t see me - yet I’ve got you surrounded
I’ve lost you - so who’s invisible now?

Be Invisible

Frawstakwa aka Osiavo
Empire...

There is an entire universe to explore
When will my work bring forth
An Empire?
An Empire..

There is no now or never
It’s neither here nor there
I’m getting down forever
You see me everywhere 
Bringing the sound from my center
So deep indeed do I dare
To let it spread out from the nexus
Into the
Empire

I’ve just been getting ready for what I’m destined 
To do field tested tried and true no question
Read into reread it then ran up a couple edits
Double check it mic check mic check into the essence
Create ripple effects that reach the deepest depths
Of time and space in respect to where you are in this mess
With my tribe get the message my people are such a blessing
Without y’all forget it there never could be an empire

IPG1 aka Lou
Empire...

Pride and ethics built this that’s why it exist 
when I reminisce it was just a wish 
but the foundation was solid 
the Mic the beat some knowledge 
courage to level up much higher 
It’s what the people wanted it’s what they desire 
imagine that an underground empire
an underground empire

Underground empire No need to call me sire
setting tracks on fire anytime I so desire
I-P-G the initials the one legit official
smooth be the reign that I maintain
Call me LOU cause that too is my name
Level One Up that's my musical domain
For production of my HipHop campaign

Underground baby 
network international
I bringing it full circle y'all and that's undeniable
In case you're being skeptical 
Here's the real scenario 
invincible unstoppable powered up like Mario
production is impeccable
Yeah a true professional
Juggernaut now you know
sow the seeds and watched them grow

Dropping barzzz here we go
Failure's unacceptable 
haters too predictable
small potatoes to me though
Flip the script delectable
I eat them up like vegetables
never been afraid you know
Here it is much clearer though
I'll rock you——to the beat
in mono or stereo
Or anyway you wanna go
Beats are just too plentiful 
I wait for the beautiful
And Spit it like a general
bury it when I'm done
I killed it it's phenomenal

Empire

aesthetically lacking...

aesthetically lacking
no mixing no mastering
statistically tracking
and bringing it back again

What’s happening? 
Nothing much - let’s have it then
Never become a has been when
I’m keeping in the habit 
Falling off? I’m laughing man 
200 - keep it half of that
Cool calm collected
Continue into the aftermath
Can’t imagine 
But I’ll manage 
Through the madness
Might not know magic
But somehow I make it 
Must be magnets
No sleight of hand my tactics
And intentions are transparent 
Inherently you can see what’s really real
Not acting as if 
This is all that that is all this
I match wits
With my own understanding 
Overlaid I can’t sit
I can’t wait for them to catch up
With each passage
The passion put into each piece 
Is what makes them matter
My mind over time goes to outer space
Ask them
Who taught the astronauts 
It wasn’t me 
I just drop anthems
In improbable patterns
I cannot fathom
The outcome of it all
But I must admit there’ll be damage

Aesthetically Lacking

why do we do this then?

why do we do this then?
this movement we call music when
the industry dilutes it 
mind pollution 
what’s the chosen end?

——

I bet that there's a lotta y'all out there that know the deal
It is thanks to all of y'all I continue to keep it real
I could never be commercial because that’s not what I feel
Gimme that Hip Hop nonstop on the wheels of steel
Underground independent hardcore such skill
That’s the way we execute in the field another kill
Come get your fill satisfy your soul be still
Let the music communicate the mood is so chill

——

why do we do this then?
this movement we call music when
the industry dilutes it 
mind pollution 
what’s the chosen end?

——

Are artists entertainers or are artists trained seals?
Are our stars all orchestrated choreographed for mass appeal?
Does the platform have a formula for real like what’s the deal?
They’re all brainwashed anyway so whatever rats on a wheel
Get wicked with it in a good way too ill
Whether or not if it goes viral it is in the aether still
Reminiscent of a future past this culture has the will
Power to be omnipresent if we ever yield

Why Do We Do This Then

I made this beat for someone else
but then I took it off the shelf
I just couldn’t help myself
well anyway here we go 

——

sometimes you just feel it and you gots’ta move 
Get in the groove like you ain’t got nothing to prove
so make room because that is what I’m ‘boutsta do
get busy on the one and then on the two

——

with the world the way it is we need more good vibes 
so let go of it all for the next four or five
minutes of your time it’ll be alright
no worries relax and for once feel alive
get on the dance floor old school shuck and jive
break it down - up jump the boogie let it ride
think of all that’s going on in your mind
intertwined 
in a spiral that waves as it winds
release it and watch how it opens your eyes 
in the moment you notice that it’s sorta nice
shift focus with the flow 
it’s the rhythm and rhyming
come on party people it’s time to get live
my sisters my brothers my tribe my pride
all come together it’s time to get live
    ⁃    get live
all my people where you at?
    ⁃    get live
    ⁃    get live
all my people where you at?
    ⁃    get live

——

sometimes you just feel it and you gots’ta move 
Get in the groove like you ain’t got nothing to prove

——

this is feel good music yeah I’m bringing that back
because it’s real don’t confuse it with anything wack
I’m unheard of you knew this but still played the track
so I thank you for taking a trip on this path with me
    ⁃    it is only a song but maybe along the way it will have impact
this is more than rap
this is Hip Hop fact 
keep it right and exact
    ⁃    yo
intact
sound mind and body I breakdance
check it out my party people clap hands
not for rounds of applause but to slam the jam
when this joint gets to rocking nothing can withstand
you can feel it in your bones everybody flex like a flash mob
just rolled in in all black and crashed it on smash
come on party people it’s time to get live
all come together it’s time to get live

——

sometimes you just feel it and you gots’ta move 
Get in the groove like you ain’t got nothing to prove
so make room because that is what I’m ‘boutsta do
get busy on the one and then on the two

——

this might not be what you’re used to 
I’m shooting for what will be new in the future
research and development produced some crucial
breakthroughs applied to the breaks through apps I often use when I’m producing
the rhythm and the rhyming remember the time when
you’d hear that one tune it’d do something to you
and you’d lose your mind where’d that feeling go?
why would it leave us though?
even it needs us so
within this symbiosis which is cyclical
wouldn’t we want something real something more than the usual
support is mutual
underground independent
let the youth them know 
stay true to you and grow
after all the world is yours if you choose so
I drew up my blueprints but through some series of events they were useless
so I simply do this 
that feel good music
    ⁃    get live

——

sometimes you just feel it and you gots’ta move 
Get in the groove like you ain’t got nothing to prove

and this would’ve been the part where
    ⁃    reality returns
perhaps you’d just sit there
and nod your head slowly repeating the words

Sometimes You Just Feel It

at the edge of the universe...

who knows what awaits us?
slowly approaching 
a close encounter
at the edge of the universe
at the edge of the universe
a close encounter 
at the edge of the universe 

——

are you really out there? 
are you listening?
we’re down here on this little bit
of earth grounded lifting it
getting louder 
-
can you hear me though? 
communicate in stereo
state of alien origin
out of ordinary flows
-
second genesis 
different genetics kid
definitely next level 
unparalleled dimensions 
drawing nearer to the event
horizon ever since it 
brought all of existence 
into being in that instant

——

who knows what awaits us?
slowly approaching 
a close encounter
at the edge of the universe
at the edge of the universe
a close encounter 
at the edge of the universe 

——

I’m down to visit the outer limits 
about to get it in how I’m living
and now it begins 
the sound the system endowed with spirit
I’ve found my rhythm the rhyming fitted
around it with precision
no doubt I give it all I’ve got within 
power driven about my mission
and proud to admit it
I count my blessings thousands of digits
amounts to this it’s astounding isn’t it?
wow - it is

At The Edge Of The Universe

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

why not be what you are used to
on the microphone?

emcee producer
constructing solid
foundation on this
day that’s upon us
and each in subsequence
eternally love
unconditional
raising my children
with care and compassion
watching them blossom
with knowledge and wisdom
they learn to solve problems
to carry them farther
if not then why bother?
it all is for them
what is life but living?
love giving
being involved
evolving 
check mic
check it
it’s cool when your kids
play your records
and they
say the words with it
such a
heavenly chorus 
through hell and back
memories
made with family 
friends
a legacy
born to bring forth energy
positive vibrations
a feel good gathering
beginning and afterwards
become legendary

I just do my own thing 
I try not to revisit themes
that have already been done to death
leave them
we were all meant to lead
the community needs you
and me true indeed
let’s proceed
to push culture forward
society sees us
sort of like a structure
or more of an institution 
we pass down tradition
sharing the story 
with whom it shall reach
ask yourself what it is that we teach
when we show through example 
the values we keep
should we speak
since we know that they’re listening
think
or are we too scared 
hypocritical
weak
I try to keep it clean
but still cut tracks
with kicks that hit
for the people to feel
n’ah mean
I just do my own thing 
I try not to revisit themes

What You Are Used To

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

Lou Osiavo
yeah

yo
you can call me creative 
it’s one of the characteristics I came with
I’m basic
but that is okay 
my complexes have already been complicated
way back in the day
I’m past that now though 
so hey
let all the stress fade away
to the instrumental
soon as I press play
it’s a feeling that’s special
got me feeling great
there’s something about how when you sit down and make
something original like you’ve found a place
outside of time and space sound waves
vibrate cause the ground to break
but why?
well, in this culture we communicate
whether to share ideas or to show love or hate
whatever you can think of we’ll come up with a way 
to represent the thought let it be what it may

see 
I have something to say
so I write and record and I draw and I paint 
I’m an artist for sure sorta starving but ain’t
a broke nobody that don’t want fortune or fame 
having serious fun I ain’t playing no games 
this is real life homie Hip Hop hooray
ha ha 
continue to do my thang
this music is in my veins
peculiarly loose strains
of mutant DNA
and no two are the same
to move you with my brain
do it with might and main
and so you could say
that I can’t complain
unless if you catch me when I’m having a bad day
nothing to worry about I manage to maintain 
and remain levelheaded to think of a better way 
to handle each situation whatever that it may
be in the long run I will be okay
alright 
it’s a good thing thing we’ve got what it takes
otherwise we’d be doomed to suffer such a fate
where this culture’s completely consumed by what’s fake
yes it’s bad now already but if we have faith
then maybe we can turn the tables to take back 
what’s been ours from the get go before it’s too late

——

hey
how ya feeling? I'm awful - but I'm dealing
often onto something awesome off and on so I'm chilling
Rock with me solid geology I'm building 
Foundations underground stay on my grind drill bit
they use Shock and awe to desensitize the children's 
Minds mental warfare mass media designed
To destroy real Hip Hop tell the people one time
Pay attention to more than just the beats and the rhymes
build it then I break it then rebuild again with patience and the willpower to take my time to see what I am making something real nothing fake what's the deal with the way that the feel dissipated yielded and swayed but the wheel keeps on turning and steel are the blades that fill in the spaces between retrograde orbits silver spokes spinning outward from the pivot the center the spirit the soul come visit
