Lyrics used (full lyrics on original track)
I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving - come on follow me
Step inside - feel the vibe - it’s almost heavenly
Warm and deep - take the leap - a total odyssey
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Find the frequency

Now vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me 

Come on where you been — the challenge is within
Again it all like letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain, can’t stop its happenings
The power and strength - all so ravishing
No heights, depth or lengths - never limiting
Day or night - anytime — nothing is more certain
It’s what you hear and how you feel - that's interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind - what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve and that is everything
That is everything

Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency

Vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me
 
Repeat

Vibe With Me

Thank you for listening ♥

I'm on a mission, so hold tight and feel the vibe,
A new direction - but still going to keep it live,
And if you're itching to turn up the volume - fine!
Crank it and listen, cause I'm about to blow your mind.

No glory, no prize, no lives at stake,
I'm gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes
And it's peace over war, so I stay awake.

Answer the calls from the voices inside of me,
Follow the signs that lead to my destiny,
It might take some time for all to see,
Fluorescent writing on the wall - like graffiti
infusing the track with positive energy
Once on paper - it’s vocal currency
Skill level - Stone Cold - A prodigy,
That’s my legacy - building a dynasty.

Never walk the straight and narrow, choose the rules that I obey,
Forgive and forget - that might happen some day,
Don't follow the crowd and needless to say I try not to let my ego get in the way,
I'm thankful, although I don't kneel and pray and I'm truly blessed - y'all know I'm set in my ways.
But thank you, Lord, for another blessing today,
In the meantime - please try to meet me halfway.

I'm on a mission, so hold tight and feel the vibe,
A new direction - but still going to keep it live,
And if you're itching to turn up the volume - fine!
Crank it and listen, cause I'm about to blow your mind.

Watch every step I take, plan every move I make,
I was built for love and not for hate,
I go hard - so why hesitate?
This is the winning team - time to elevate,
Got the mindset - let's negotiate
Games tight - that's right, it's make or break,
Follow me into the light - time to elevate,
Another day another night, nah it's never too late to create, understand and fascinate,
Eat it up, ask for more - tasty - scrape your plate,
It's gravy to me, so I'mer keep it straight,
Everything else is a piece of cake.

Lyrics: Innovative and Creative

Chorus
Innovative and creative like day and night 
this be the one and two let’s  keep it tight 
not what they want it’s what I like 
and I do it like this cause it just feels right

Take my advice skillzzz so nice 
I’m at another level let me break you off a slice 
it’s all in the mix like lava and ice 
so hot so cold you’ve gotta think twice 

one critical decision complete the mission
Waves of ambition that’s precognition 
one focus one thought against an ocean of competition
Ain’t no playing—-class act no shame
The production—the man—the name
True to form that’s my only mind frame 
Rekindle the fire the passion the flame 
that’s the only reason that I came 
IPG1 changing the game

Haven’t you heard of me yet IPG1 in effect 
let’s be direct I’ll just leave you out of breath 
screw it if I get to real what did you expect 
the living legend an outlaw a danger a threat 
acknowledge the name—-acknowledged the game 
acknowledge the pieces ain’t the same
Just remember what I’m saying as I penetrate your brain 
stay out of my lane —to the haters fear my name
just here to entertain so much style I’m off the chain 
Now let me dull your pain like a bottle of champagne 
take a taste drink it down slow sip it like it’s Moët 
skills of a poet know it when I show it

Chorus

But Check it are you listening better keep it interesting 
While they’re repositioning ice flow into my veins 
I’m cool like air conditioning
Devastating dominating terror in the streets 
demolishing the beat with style and technique 
most wanted reward posted speech advanced weaponry 
yeah I’m Killin on the mic like it’s a felony 
proceed with caution when I’m flowing dangerously 
unorthodox styles no conformity 
unforgiven lyrics soaring high fidelity 
no fame no glory who else can it be 
It’s IPG1 and that’s the whole story—-that’s right it’s just me

Chorus

Make a difference I am the difference 
the appeal so deep they still reference me to defined the word heat 
shock wave as I penetrate the sternum 
the vibe from the rap so hot it’s going to burn em 
My haters losing hope my shits flat out dope
This be the real thing have yourself another Coke 
nope no excuses —-prayer with the pope 
precision on the mic like it’s got laser scope
Game on aim on target stop never 
not till the tracks lit solid and legit 
got them running scared I know they done had it 
Drop the Mic threw in the towel—-cold quit—-cold quit

acknowledge the name—-acknowledged the game 
acknowledge the pieces ain’t the same
Just remember what I’m saying as I penetrate your brain 
stay out of my lane—-to the haters fear my name 
just here to entertain so much style I’m off the chain 
Now let me dull your pain like a bottle of champagne 
take a taste drink it down slow sip it like it’s Moët 
skills of a poet know it when I show it

Lyrics:
(verse 1)
Level one academy better bet I’m the key 
Crown on my head like payment royalty 
rhymes in my life doing things creatively 
no questions asked that’s right just doing me
Don’t act surprise coming through like destiny 
still on the rise hang tight and you will see

Chorus
I bring the noise-I bring the noise-I’ve got the sauce now
Across the void-I bring the noise-so turn it up loud
My thoughts out loud-so just enjoy-this one’s-a cash cow
I bring the noise-I bring the noise-we-off the chain y’all

Holding back no not me 
Coming through wait and see 
just Wait and see

one with the force different levels do exist
Multidimensional words do twist 
Screw the imperfections as I transmit 
For the culture just a lift Precision with the gift
IPG1 on the mic I’m on the A-list 
Element of the rhythm who can resist 
Heat on each line dedication when I spit
Any doubt it’s word of mouth
sit back take noticed
Time out baby bro lemme get ‘em I got this
Creative days and nights vision insight
This level so tight I slay and excite
Check your frequencies left and right 
Already built a winning team each player’s out of sight

Academy Noise games departure flights loading
Embracing time and space so much I’m floating
Gotta beat the high score before there’s a landing
nothing last forever it’s all time spent learning 
A nonstop endeavor we’re hell bent earning
Another one on fire it so hot track’s burning 🔥🔥🔥——lit

Lyrics
Off the top ———-is where it’s at
unwrap this —————-gift RAP
hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack
Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK!
Pool of knowledge ——-untapped
going —-in —-hard——we do that 
Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps 
———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!”
swag baby —-The recap 
no snags—nah—we stop that!!!

Break the game down--it's a new map
Flow so rich--- better check that NASDAQ
Eyes on the prize---go the full lap
concrete jungle---stuck in the trap

[Verse]
From the alleys to the skyline---watch us elevate
Living large in the boroughs where we demonstrate
Every word a heavy weight--- every rhyme we detonate
New York state of mind---watch the Empire State

We on a mission---ain't no intermission, snap back
Murals on the walls--- street art on the subway track
Ambition in the air, we the kings--- claim the throne
Spittin' bars like bullets--- in this zone--- we at home

Icons of the asphalt--- legends in the flesh
Droppin' beats so heavy--it’s poundin' in your chest
From the 5 boroughs--anthems——- on full blast
Queens to the Bronx-- Brooklyn —-movin' fast
Elevate the hustle---the spirit never cracks
Struggle in the verses —-resilience on the—— tracks

No imagination—-no glory
Worry don’t set ——the pace

Verse1
each level deeper——— keep it positive ——
—-no negative ——when I come through——

tic-tac-toe

Verse2
Throwing kisses ——count it—-SWAK 
tapping out Beats—— enemies being taxed
Hitting the streets, with pleasantries
—-Every key, belong to me, gate keeper.
Can you see—-it has to be——number one priority?
Keep it 100—-come on
Peep That shadow —-by my side 
That’s the Grim Reaper

What’s money worth—— when life is much cheaper, 
hand-to-hand, with death, 
Each level deeper, 
Each level deeper
the lesson you learn ——only once 
he’s a great teacher [Echo]

My parents listened to Franz Liszt - I still have the original record so I ended up a fan.  My music teacher was the late: Anatoly Miroshnyk (born August 19, 1923 - died July 14, 2011) was a Ukrainian composer, pianist, teacher, musician and public figure.

We often think of talented musicians as folks who start young and advance their skills via the finest education available to them. While this is certainly true in some cases, there are plenty who realised many of their artistic capacities without the aid of specialised instruction or a degree in music.

Where words leave off, music begins.. Not everyone has the ability to compose music I also enjoy singing Jazz & Blues with musicians on Wikiloops a truly amazing community.

Through life I've always been passionate about music composition and the internet & technology made it possible.

Find my global music journey since 2012 below:

https://linktr.ee/ArapaMusic

I've been tested by an examiner from the Australian Conservatorium of Music & apparently I have perfect pitch and blessed with the ability to accompany any musician, add hooks to any genre - as a singer I’m not great but who cares thats why most is spoken word - most of all I enjoy the creativity.

I have my own style - either you like it or not -  always open for collaborations

🎤I have no fear of perfection - will never reach it 🎧   I don’t have the perfect voice nor am I aiming to be the best I'm only human with a passion for what I love music is in my heart.

Thank you to all who believe in me and MOST OF ALL my amazing Mentor thank you Sir for encouraging me to NEVER GIVE UP it all takes time and practice.

My mixing & mastering techniques have been learned from Youtube tutorials & experimenting with Logic Pro X.   I love the creativity and flexibility music production - a continual learning journey  #passion #persistence #perspiration #patience
 
An accomplished piano accordionist having started at the age of 5 - an instrument I was expected to learn in life we sometimes don’t get a choice but I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity to learn an instrument.  I retired the piano accordion a few years ago after being introduced to electronic music production & I will never stop doing what I love most.  

I'm a dedicated musician for life.

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.

Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, was fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations.
