Sea Town Mixtape-When I Can Help It

My name is Tye. I perform hip hop psychedelic/conscious hip hop in the warm cafes of Seattle, the dusty moonscapes of Burning Man, or the assorted venues I find while traveling. Honest and specific feedback is valued highly. Pure listening is good too. Thanks.

Bright Seattelite with a story:

Ever since Reagan ran rampant
After John Lennon penned Imagine
It was the hottest year ever shown on Mercury
Y'lean up on a black car and own a third degree
My first word thus was H-O-T
I like to think it was my playground prophecy
I was a baby born late, made in '88
Came out asleep so early on I was made awake
It was the year of the "what's it goin' on for?"
Mad greed, Wall Street, bad deeds
And a Republican encore
They crackdown on crack
But it's the wrong war
And not a single wild California condor
So I didn't grow up mad, but maybe saddened
State flag grizzly bear might as well be a dragon
'Cuz everything of interest was sold at interest
And the best that a little boy could do was imagine
So the li'l man grew a bit of wrath in his belly
Fed it with hot food, he let it get hot too
He knew his naysayin' would escape in an ah-CHOO!
The first to sneeze wasn't him, it was the Middle East
9/11 was a 'fuck you' thru gritted teeth
See Uncle Sam's ears are filled with starships
To gain an audience you gotta play the target
And I knew this, so I kept my mouth shut
Upped the chili does waiting for God knows what
And I, got a pepper on the arm
To serve as a reminder the empire's in flames
But these flames aren't felt like a fireplace
You gotta seek truth movin' in the lion's cage
And when you do we look a lot like a higher ape
But money talks, so it probably be a high estate
So...when you keep draggin' on that magic puff puff
It's either you fade away or you know you've had enough
And the little man grew
Departed from his home
He learned about the lesson the Ti-tanic had shown
America had grown too
Heavy on the bone
Someone needed to speak out, but when in Rome...
