Hustle On The Side - Mood (1995)

Souls of Mischief - Never No More (76 Seville Mix)

🎤 Verse 1: The Setup They ask what we’ll do when the work is gone, Like we ain’t been dreaming of freedom all along. Like labor’s the meaning, like grind is divine— But that’s just the system rebranding the bind.

A child is born with a heart full of grace, Then schooled to forget it, to run the rat race. From playtime to deadlines, from wonder to rules, They trade love for obedience inside of these schools.

The bell rings, the spirit folds, They teach you to chase what the system holds. Not truth, not joy, not unity’s spark— Just grades and wages and living in the dark.

🎤 Hook (chant-style, Dead Prez energy): We don’t need your grind, we don’t need your chains, We don’t need your schools, we don’t need your games. We were born to love, not to serve your plan, Post-work life? That’s the rise of man.

🎤 Verse 2: The Breakdown Parents say “you gotta go,” but they broke too, Caught in the loop, just doing what folks do. They ain’t evil, they just bent by the frame, Passed down the trauma, passed down the shame.

But now the machines can handle the load, So why keep pushing humans down that road? Let AI run the grind, let tech hold the weight, Let us evolve, let love radiate.

No more need to compete for a plate, No more need to hustle just to feel great. No more schools that crush the soul, We’ll learn from life, from love, from the whole.

🎤 Hook (repeat with more intensity): We don’t need your grind, we don’t need your chains, We don’t need your schools, we don’t need your games. We were born to love, not to serve your plan, Post-work life? That’s the rise of man.

🎤 Verse 3: The Vision Imagine a world where the heart leads the way, Where meaning ain’t measured by a job or a pay. Where kids grow wild, not broken by rules, Where wisdom ain’t locked in government schools.

We’ll build a techno-ecology, love at the core, No poverty, no prisons, no need for war. Just games for the thrill, not battles for bread, Just living, just loving, just rising instead.

So when they ask what we’ll do when the work is done, Tell ’em: We’ll finally live beneath the sun. No more survival, no more broken parts— Just humans reborn with unbroken hearts.

🎤 Verse 4: The Class Illusion So when the rich man asks, “What will the poor do?” He forgets that the system made that view. He chillin’ in yachts, sippin’ on time, While the poor man’s grindin’ just to survive the climb.

But when work is gone, the walls dissolve, No rich, no poor—just problems to solve. The categories fade, the spirit repairs, And life becomes living, not climbing upstairs.

The poor man asks, “What will I do?” But that’s just trauma speakin’ through. He can’t see freedom, can’t feel the breeze, But the change is comin’—it’s breakin’ the freeze.


🧠 Verse 5 – The Paradise Protocol
(Mid-tempo beat, confident delivery with rising intensity)
Automation don’t just end the grind,  
It ends the hunger, frees the mind.  
Food precise, no waste, no war,  
Reality coded to open the door.  

Off-planet systems, balanced and clean,  
No more rich, no poor, no in-between.  
Inequality fades, the struggle subsides,  
And mankind walks where the truth resides.  

This ain’t utopia—it’s overdue,  
The paradise the prophets knew.  
Not built by kings, not bought with gold,  
But born from tech and hearts made bold.

🕊️ Outro – Spoken Word Transmission
(Beat fades to ambient synths, slow echo on final lines)
They told us paradise was myth.  
That freedom was earned through pain.  
But the truth is—freedom was always ours.  
Automation just clears the path.  

No more hunger.  
No more grind.  
Just life.  
Just love.  
Just time.  

The ancients saw it.  
We build it.  
And now…  
We live it.

B Flatt "Back To Basics" Vinyl Release February 1st 2018 | via QRATES ( qrates.com )

Originally released in 1996, 2016 brings about the 20 year anniversary for B Flatt "Back To Basics". The 20 year re-up! This vintage hip-hop project was originally released on Cassette Tape and CD. 42 minutes of hip-hop music, it has been re-mastered and is available, in limited edition, on CD and USB Media Pack (containing pictures and bonus tracks).

The B Flatt "Back To Basics" EP was an independent release from the Big Noise camp that defined a new level of quality, soul and organic music as folks from the Bay Area built their catalog. It was a call to the community to stay balanced as commercial radio began to misrepresent Hip Hop Culture. With radio play and interviews from collage stations, as well as performing with names like Rasco (from Cali Agents), B Flatt and Tyranny brought you that authentic hip-hop feeling. As a testament to this selections are still in rotation, on Big Noise Radio, generating positive fan feedback!

In 2016 the B Flatt "Back To Basics" 20 year anniversary giveaway drew worldwide support. The CD continues to ship worldwide today. Thank you so much to all our supporters!

In 1995 the project was produced by Noiseman on an Akai S1100 and sequenced in Cu-Base, then mixed on a Soundcraft 24 track mixer. Vocals were recorded on a Tascam MS16 1" tape recorder. This was the first authentic hip-hop album produced by Noiseman, after releasing a Break-Beat album via Upstairs Records. Peanut Butter Wolfe, founder of Stones Throw records was a label-mate at the time. The "Back To Basics" album turned out to be a classic, hip-hop collectors item.
