Mahatma Ghandi: speech at Inter Asian Conference, 02/04/1947

Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

It's The Time (with Janine Levinson)

Open for collab…
I didn’t send out any invites to all the terrific producers out there because there is “Explicit Lyrics”, however, this track is open to anyone willing to give it a go. 
Thank you! ✌🏽

Gimme that mic----- once committed there's no limit
My true friend to the end----and I'm in it to win it
Putting art to the verse-----it's simply amazing
From the start I traverse the bars----fired up and blazing
Spit a bar and rehearse----- but --son----Still not done
Pull another out the air--------where'd that verse come from
Could it  be that easy-----------that's a conundrum
Don't believe what you're hearing---- not until I'm all done
Ride the bars of the track -----without hesitation
Provide a look back ----for future generations
There's a real simple answer -----to this equations
IPG1's on the mic---and he rock the nation


-----driven ------impulsive ------true that
------ given -----prospective----got that
-------proven----progressive----on track 
------infusing the message------ that's pure fact
------unforgiving ---unrelenting---like close combat
Pass me the mic and then——step the fuck back
It’s the underground————baby—a total—-power pack 
———Underground ---domain--YEAH!---don't forget that-----
--Precision on the mic no regrets—-bitch I said it
------if I said it--- it's so --you better know
Come on let's get it--let's go----let's go--
living the——-highs ———as well as the lows 
Keys from the underground—-Anything goes
 Apts to the penthouse---yeah----maybe so—- but I’m 
Trading the jeep for a Rolls —- just so you know
freedom of choice——-come on let’s go
Making my own laws——-so———fuck five-O
fuck five-O

——————-Cause there’s ----- no where to go but Up from the bottom 
The art the craft the skillzzzz---yeah I gottem 
Erupting from the pressure-----so� follow the flow
And I ain’t gonna stop until the whole hill glows
————-until the whole hill glows

Chorus
Little did they all know 
ready from the word go  
a born leader ——was never —-meant to follow 
Creative—-innovator ——- that skill set you can borrow
￼a hustlers a schemer——i’mer holler back tomorrow

****
Incinerate trackss———￼That’s legendary 
Life’s....all —business—-so —-it’s necessary
Mind body and spirit—-the souls outta body——...
Flame on —-ignite the fires—- then I’m gone
Game on—-Been fighting the fight ——since I was born
Turn up—- haters—you been —informed 
Aims on —target—- I don’t miss —-forewarned 
Dream on—— think you nice like this——-ahhh—come on

bringing fire to the game
Ignition to the flames
Pyro the name----No Hype—morals or- shame

If I crash and burn—-flame on —————-It’s just pyro
Bring it full circle—-ignition to the flame 
Spark a fire——once it’s lit————it will ——never be the same

How do you feel about the rights of others, or about your own?
A mood statement about otherness and uniqueness, sexuality and self-determination.

With great thanks to all involved, may the future be better!

*Milky*
aye aye aye … listen up …

What were you conditioned to believe in?
Is a woman and a man equal are they even?
Love is unconditional then does it need a reason?
If a man loves a man is he a heathen?

If we both love girls have a threesome
bring her cousin, get our freak on
I don’t really care who I put meat on 
you can turn the lights off, baby leave the beat on

I be like …

Love who you wanna love.
fuck who you wanna fuck, suck who you wanna suck.
Love who you wanna love.
Plus you can never love too much

yeah and really though:

See I don’t fuck with the requirements
and I don’t chime in when the choir sings
Hose you down like the firemen
I think the patriarchy needs retirement, so I’m denying them.

• Are you under the rainbow looking up or on a high-horse looking down?

*Malu*
Gay pride wants you to fall, why don't you want that pot of gold. 

*Peter*
You do you I'ma do me
we don't gotta be enemies
jus because we disagree
everyone is entitled to their own opinion
not hurtin anyone continue livin how you livin
be who you are don't hide yoself
if you do then you'll always feel by yoself
I'm not gay but if I was
what other people thought I wouldn't give a fuck
so nothin against anybody that is
it's your choice to live the life you live
live it
people fear what they don't understand
it's double bad if you're a gay Black Man
some men love to see Women kiss
but not 2 men yo that don't make sense
but again people like what they like
but what what you likes not a reason to take yo life

• Are you under the rainbow looking up or on a high-horse looking down?

*Malu*
Misogyny and hate, your mother would be so ashamed. 
Within your lyrics, there beats a second pulse. 
But you don't care as long as you wear gold. 

*Couch*
Looking up not giving up
Sure footing not secure enough 
Thru signaling escape rebuff  
Still limiting by law will snuff

Ya think ya finna stand right up
Until ya bout to loose ya stuff 
Ya medals and your trophy cups
Your devils that a cause stir up

Your chance to be the best in club
Your stance that causes mass erupt
Societal division ta
Keep the power that is stuck  

This ain’t disorderly conduct   
When independence disrupts they don’t give a fuck 
When it comes down to it will I give it up 
Step down from looking down and start looking up

*Malu*
Gay pride wants you to fall, why don't you want that pot of gold. 
Within your lyrics, there beats a second pulse. 
But you don't care as long as you wear gold. 

• Are you under the rainbow looking up?

Lyrics (Naicke/Rock_Flexible)
Naicke and I wrote these Lyrics together in form of a small 
private lyrics workshop. Ok, most of these have been written by her :)
Thank you, Naicke (https://soundcloud.com/user-746049418) :)
===============================================
Nur einen Flügelschlag entfernt (vom Leben)
 
Siehst Du den alten Mann am Fenster,
Wie er ins Leere schaut, 
Dort einsam sitzt. 
Ein Tag wie jeder andere,
Nur ein Flügelschlag entfernt vom Leben
 
Sein Blick ist fest ins Nichts gerichtet
Die Blassen Bilder in seinem Kopf
Ein Stummfilm längst vergangener Zeit
Und das Kaminfeuer knackt
 
Und Hinterm Fenster holen die Vögel
Sich das angebotene Korn
Sie sind frei, fühlen keine Enge,
Wie gern würde auch er mit ihnen ziehen.
 
Nochmal fühlen, nochmal atmen,
Hoch am Himmel Kreise ziehn.
Sich komplett ins Leben stürzen
Nur einmal noch lebendig sein.
 
Und er fliegt mit den Vögeln hinaus
Frei und unbeschwert
Treibt im Wind
Wie ein Kind, wie als Kind
 
Siehst Du den alten Mann am Fenster,
Wie er ins Leere schaut, 
Dort einsam sitzt.
Gezeichnet vom Leben, gebückt und gebeugt.
Verbraucht aller Stolz, alle Macht.
Der letzte Tanz ist getanzt
Und die große Liebe verblüht
Die Jugend verflossen
Und die Kraft verglüht.

Und Hinterm Fenster holen die Vögel
Sich das angebotene Korn
Sie sind frei, fühlen keine Enge,
Wie gern würde auch er mit ihnen ziehen.
 
Nochmal fühlen, nochmal atmen,
Hoch am Himmel Kreise ziehn.
Sich komplett ins Leben stürzen
Nur einmal noch lebendig sein.
 
Und er fliegt mit den Vögeln hinaus
Frei und unbeschwert
Treibt im Wind
Wie ein Kind, wie als Kind

Nur einen Flügelschlag entfernt (vom Leben) - Rock Flexible

This is a song inspired by current events not about a current war but all wars ..the only way for the human race to survive is to try and live in peace and harmony and respect all living creatures..
lyrics
I dont want to live in a world like this
everyday on the outside getting hard to exist
running out of fuel ..they keep raising the prices
theres a war down in europe and i know we are in crisis
we need a solution/to put an end to all wars 
dont need these dictators or what they are fighting for
telling you and the others/how to live your lifes
all there dirty agenders on the edge of a knife

What if your country changed and lost its peace took center stage
and all the guns and arms were gone to love you all and sing some songs
WHAT IF ? there was no police and protests to take belief
surrender all ye fellow men lay down your arms and start again
dont let the weight of this world
rest on your fate or what you been sold

I dont want to see all this pointless suffering
dropping bombs and killing and nobodys gonna win
tell all the people its for freedom of the land
and the media machines are there to take your hands
Dont need these intruders/invasion of the skys
guns and blood and tears now /open up your eyes 
no care for environment. no fear takes the blame
all for gas and religion we dont think the same 

live together in harmony rest together in peace
respect every living creature try and find a release
lay down your arms my friend what you fighting for
theres no winners on the edge of abyss of a stupid war

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

You Complete Me - J.Rivas & Mark J Bennett

UNDER THE SUN
Out of darkness
Into the light
Getting closer
Feeling so right
Step by step and
One by one 
We’ll be together
Under the sun

We’ll be the warriors
The children of the future
Make a stand
We’ll lead the way
Amongst the mayhem and confusion
They had planned
We’ve really got to pull our socks up
And walk the walk as well
We don’t need empty words no more
‘Cause that’s the route to hell

Out of darkness
Into the light
Getting closer
Feeling so right
Step by step and
One by one 
We’ll be together
Under the sun

So you and I can be the guides
For all the sleepers 
On our hands
Hey it’s a dirty job
But someone’s got to do it
The line in the sand
And no one’s gonna thank you 
For it at first
They’ll brand you insane
Your madness will be your 
Banner of truth
No reason for shame
We’ve really got to pull our socks up
And walk the walk as well
We don’t need empty words no more
‘Cause that’s the route to hell

Out of darkness…

Wow, this is the 5th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! This song was inspired by the conservative agenda, which at the time was more noticeably gaining momentum, to systematically whittle away and block the rights of those groups that did’t align with their values. The conservative agenda continues to gain strength, and it is up to the people to support each other in maintaining and advancing rights (including those of groups one is not a part of).    

It has been a great pleasure working with Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on these tracks. We are blessed by all the support the SoundCloud community has given to our releases. We can’t wait to share more music with you all. 

I haven't done a more straight up hip hop song in ages!

Lyrics:

Hit the streets likes it’s a brand new day
Pound the pavement for the payment 
Of knowing I slay
Say hey to all my homies around my way
Say hey to all the folks just trying to get paid
What up party people dying to get laid
Let you freak flag fly high up and away
Pray to allah Pray to Jesus 
Get all Polytheistic if it pleases
Go to college and write a thesis 
Couch surf around the globe and sleep on beaches 
Who needs meat when we got peaches
Who needs warfarin when we got leeches
Use yo magic to cure diseases 
Go help somebody with yo expertises 
Take a stand against injusticeses 
And don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Word
You know we still fighting 
To open minds to new perspectives
And hearts to other ways of being  And that’s for real
Yo

Who you got a problem with 
What you try to solve it with
Why you got that solid fist
When now’s the time to 
Listen go out and try something
Different see what chu mighta been 
Missin’ dismissin’ 
Omittin’ what wasn’t Fittin’
Your world view 
Let go of what you knew so
You can become a new you
Discover what’s now true 
To hold onto your values
And speak your truth and stay for real
While holdin’ space for others to feel
What they gonna feel and what they says their truth
But if it falls to pieces and their beliefs lead to more injusticeses 
Then don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Yea
That right
This one goes out to all those leading the fight 
In the struggle on the day to day

After a very long while, Im back with a new collab!! 
I just felt like to make french lyrics. Im a french speaker but Im not used to sing in french because one of my goals has always been to be understood by the most. And english seemed to me to more relevant to reach out the numbers. But after my time away from here and from you, I felt the need to sing with my mother tongue.
So I asked https://soundcloud.com/wypernet to use that track: https://soundcloud.com/wypernet/collective-cession1
I loved it very much and choose it to send a special message. It comes from my guts. After several social experiences with musicians, it teached me the real reason why Im doing what Im doing. This is the message. For non french speakers, I put an english translation down. yes, I want you to understand what I say!
Non, j'ai pas d'ambition
tout ce que je veux c'est m'épanouir
composer, jouer et m'ouvrir

je cherche pas à faire fortune
et toi tu m'importunes
quand tu cherches à me guider
pour aller là où tu veux aller
car c'est ton rêve à toi
vivre de ça

mais moi, j'ai pas d'ambition
j'fais vraiment tout ça pour d'autres raisons
ça c'est construit dans le temps, c'était long

mais c'est composer
qui m'a permis d'émerger
des eaux troublées 
dans lesquelles j'ai stagné
de nombreuses années

alors laisse moi être sans ambition
parceque j'me fiche de me faire un nom
c'est ce que je ressens quand je crée qui est ma raison
ma seule raison

j'ai découvert la fierté 
de faire naître mes idées
et des les aimer
un tel bonheur 
jamais connu ailleurs

le message est passé
ma réponse est donnée
je crois pas que ca va changer

-----------------------------------------------

No, I have no ambition
all I want is to blossom
compose, play and open up

I'm not looking to make a fortune
and you're bothering me
when you try to guide me
to go where you want to go
because it's your dream
to live on that

but I have no ambition
I'm really doing all this for other reasons
it's built up over time, it was long

but it was composing
that allowed me to emerge
from the troubled waters
in which I stagnated
for many years

so let me be unambitious
because I don't care about making a name for myself
it's what I feel when I create that is my reason

I discovered the pride
of giving birth to my ideas
and to love them
such happiness
never known elsewhere

the message is passed on
my answer is given
I don't think it will change

A message from Lyrical Smirk:

“I’d really love to shine some positive light and fresh air in this lil’ community of friendships. So here's the concept. It is, basically, ‘One Big Collaboration’. Anyone who’d like to join in just needs to send Gary a message to the Mountain Songs page and include one downloadable track. He'll do the rest. 
Would prefer original material, ideally not stuff that's already been remixed.
Each and everyone who joins gets credited for their work / efforts.
Newbies / Amateurs / Pro's, it doesn't matter, ALL can join. This really does include everyone…non-musicians & ‘listeners’ very welcome. 
Every Soundclouder can pick one track of their own which they want remixed. Don't be intimidated by other Soundclouders work. Remember, this is designed to be a fun project and the positive vibe is what counts.
What styles? It doesn't really matter as long as it's easy on the ears!"

PS Perkins, one-half of Mystic Tape Deck @mystictapedeck took my vocal stem from a few weeks ago and made this beautiful composition from scratch! Wowowow, it sounds amazing. I'm praying you all enjoy this and open your eyes to the Supernatural Creation all around you. If you listen closely you might here the still small voice of the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit. Shalom! Y'shua died for you.

Lyrics:

The God of Abraham praise,
at whose supreme command
from earth we rise, and seek the joys
at his right hand;
we all on earth forsake,
its wisdom, fame and power;
and him our only portion make,
our Shield and Tower.

He by Himself hath sworn, I on His oath depend
I shall, on angel wings upborne, To heav'n ascend
I shall behold His face, I shall His pow'r adore
And sing the wonders of His grace forevermore

The whole triumphant host
give thanks to YAH on high;
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost"
they ever cry;
hail, Abraham's YAH and mine;
I join the heavenly lays;
all might and majesty are thine,
and endless praise!
