E. Bros - Funky Piano  A Toast

Mic Rippa -  96' Cream Hunt

[intro]
Yo
It ain't funny
But I see the money
No friend of mine can shine
Gonna lose my mind.

[Verse 1]
Yo
It ain't funny
But I see the money
No friend of mine can shine
Got us payin' rent
Payin' back loans
All in the meantime
I like to relax
But my homies don't
They think they got somethin' to prove
Now they think I'm on drugs
The way I be movin'
But I got nothin' to lose
All my fellas paranoid
A young boy died today
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid

[Chorus]
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid

[Verse 2]
Yeah
I hear the sirens
But I keep on drivin’
World on fire, I’m alive in the silence
Bills on the table, stress in the air
Mama still prayin’ like somebody care
Homies locked up, time moving slow
I be duckin’ fate everywhere that I go
Voices in my head sayin’ “make that move”
But the system got a way of always changin’ the rules
They don’t want truth, they just want fear
Lookin’ in the mirror, I see it crystal clear

[Chorus]
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid

[Verse 3]
Cold streets whisper
But I move quicker
Life ain’t promised, just a gamble with the flicker
Dreams get sold for a price too high
I done seen brothers fall, never knowin’ why
Tryna keep calm but the storm don’t end
Every lesson that I learned cost me one more friend
Trust turn thin, thicker grow the hate
Love feel fake when it come too late
Eyes wide open, still blind to the plan
All I really know is I’m doin’ what I can
Standin’ in the dark but I glow in the shade

[Chorus / Outro]
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid
If you the one they scared of
Then you the one that's really afraid

Life is a cruel joke…were you waiting for a punch line?

MindsOne connects with Belgium's DJ Iron on their newest endeavor, "Phaseology", and aim to examine the bigger picture. Why are we here?  Where do we go in the end? Is that an SP1200? Damn right. Is life too complex to condense into 40 minutes? Challenge accepted.

First, don’t look at life as the sum of its events. Think about it as a series of phases. Next, combine MindsOne’s handcrafted lyrical artistry with DJ Iron’s jazz infused boom-bap. Combine, two parts cynicism, one part mysticism, and add water. Then, sprinkle in a guest appearance by the sage John Robinson, throw in a heavy dose of turntablism from DJ Iron and MindsOne’s DJ Noumenon and Slim Deluxe, and the theory is complete.

"Phaseology" is the follow-up to MindsOne's 2014 critically acclaimed release, "Pillars," produced by Kev Brown. Journey along as Tronic and KON Sci explore the phases of life and create scenes, both real and imagined, to give listeners a bird’s-eye view. Relive childish fantasies and revisit irrational fears. Go to work and act like an adult. Ponder your existence and reflect on your life. Spoiler: It’s all gonna end. But not today.

We’re born alone, we die alone, etc. Talk to God if it’s too complex.
