"Not Tonight" is the 8th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S.

The life of crime may seem glamorous from the outside looking in but "success breeds envy" and can lead to paranoia and constantly looking over your back. Even those you think may truly care for you will stab you in the back. Like Biggie Smalls said "Your moms will light that ass up properly gassed up!"

So in the fashion of Michael Corleone, A.L.I.A.S. goes on a killing spree for anyone he thinks may have done him wrong. This is a story of revenge, payback and "do unto others before they do unto you!"

Spiritually speaking this is the thinking of most people, however, what good is money or power if there's no one to share it with? Even people who have money still long for LOVE! And while it may be true that some would rather be feared than loved, it is NOT true that fear lasts longer then love. All the great people in history who lived a life of love are still adored to this day by people who never even knew them personally but they helped to inspire generations...

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Gandhi and in the words of Jesus "for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword" therefore we should try to "love thy neighbor as thyself!"

Not Tonight

"LIFE" is the 9th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S.

The name is self-explanatory... This song examines all the horrors of the world and yet all the beautiful potential. God has given us free will to choose what we individually experience. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" and yet when we behave selfishly it creates an atmosphere that becomes self-destructive.

We live in a world of duality, hot & cold, rich & poor, strong & weak, good & evil. The Taoists call it the yin & yang. Hindus refer to as Maya the "magical measurer."

Jesus said to love another as thyself while Mohammed said to love the Creator you must love your fellow man first! Religions which were intended to connect man with Spirit instead they often become divisive. What it really balls down to is the "have and the have-nots!" The lust for power in the form of money is the true culprit which appears as political agendas, economic systems and religious dogma. This tactic works because it feeds off the fears of the masses and we justify our insanity with the defense of "survival." 

1 S.O.U.L. an acronym for "One Source Of Universal Love" was created as a platform not to divide people but to bring people together under the cause of LOVE! Love for self, love for our family, love for our neighbors, love for our nations but MOST IMPORTANTLY - LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND!!

LIFE

"Cry of the Streets" is the 12th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S.

This is the story of hip-hop music in its pure and uncorrupted original essence. This music was born as part of the culture of inner city youth beginning in the South Bronx and expanding outwards to the rest of New York City, the nation and abroad. 

Of course once the corporations recognized it as a money machine, they seized control of it by soliciting artists and finding new avenues to commercialize it for "mass appeal" thus perverting her truth.

In this song we're merely presenting the story of hip-hop as a girl that's been kidnapped by the industry and like good soldiers, we must go to war to get her back and bring her back to her mother - the Streets!

Cry Of The Streets

"Watch Me Now" is the 14th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S.

At this stage of the "story" A.L.I.A.S. continues to go deeper into the maze of power. Here he seeks to expand his reach by heading westward via his island connects with Jamaican rudeboys!

The empire is expanding and the money is coming in faster than can be counted. There is no regard for the people that are hurt or the lives ruined. We often see the glorious side of drug trafficking and praise the so-called "hustlers" and yet ignore the prisons full of sellers and users who will rarely be able to recapture a sensible life not consumed in violence...
