One song at a time and for no particular purpose other than it must be so.

This is Vonnie Knows

Oooooooo

Like a caterpillar to a butterfly
My best has yet to come or pass me by
It’s not where I take it from 
But how I carry on
I won’t apologize for being me
I can’t say sorry for being real
This is just the truest version of me

I’m the creator of my design
In a state of constant destruction
My mind is on a mission now
Forever Under Construction
Ooooooo

Like a grain of sand turned pearl
Each lick forms a stronger shell
Know I need to raise my game
And choose to grow 
I won’t apologize for being keen
I can’t say sorry for being free
This is just my truest life story

I’m the creator of my design
In a state of constant destruction
My mind is on a mission now
Forever Under Construction
Oooooo

Only chaos creates a star
A light show display way off far
Perfectly imperfect is what we are

I’m the creator of my design
In a state of constant destruction
My mind is on a mission now
Forever Under Construction
I’m the creator of my design
In a state of constant destruction
My mind is on a mission now
Forever Under Construction
Oooooo

Under Construction

(Breath)

V1

Can’t put my finger on it
Doesn’t feel right
What's the sticking point
I can’t shed light

C
Somethings suspicious behind those eyes
Something suspicious in my minds eye
There’s a suspicion about your kind
Somethings suspicious behind those eyes

V2
Can't place, this feels all wrong
Those bizarre lines
What's the tipping point
Your contempt climbs

C
Somethings suspicious behind those eyes
Something suspicious in my minds eye
There’s a suspicion about your kind
Somethings suspicious behind those eyes

B
Been here before
Stinks not yet worn off
Close to your kind
No longer on my mind

C
Somethings suspicious behind those eyes
Something suspicious in my minds eye
There’s a suspicion about your kind
Somethings suspicious behind those eyes

Somethings suspicious behind those eyes
Something suspicious in my minds eye
There’s a suspicion about your kind
Somethings suspicious behind those eyes

Something Suspicious

Lookin through I can see the light
Spillin brightly into my eyes
The lock is bolted tightly shut
But the other side is clear in sight
The keyhole is just a construct
Of a very human mind
A keyhole is how you travel
Through all of space and time
Feel yourself on the other side
Sensations everywhere
The closed door might look solid
But it's really just not even there
The keyhole is just a construct
Of a very human mind
A keyhole is how you travel
Through all of space and time
The keyhole is just a construct
Of a very human mind
A keyhole is how you travel
Through all of space and time
Eat, grow, drink, shrink 
Watch the matrix blink
It really matters not, 
only what you think
So many levels, 
in a linear time
Truly disconnected 
We are so blind
The keyhole is just a construct
Of a very human mind
A keyhole is how you travel
Through all of space and time
The keyhole is just a construct
Of a very human mind
A keyhole is how you travel
Through all of space and time
The keyhole is just a construct
Of a very human mind
A keyhole is how you travel
Through all of space and time

Through the keyhole

Waaaah!
Black and white in harmony
Making those sweet melodies
Break and unbreak the wheel
Awaken emotions for real
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4..

Play on, play on, play on
Music never dies
Rhythm fills our lives
And the silence in between
Dreamer 
Dreamer
Dreamer of dreams

Waaaah!
Bring memories back with the keys
Forget those rules for frequency
Filling the void between
Dancing sound goes unseen
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4..

Play on, play on, play on
Music never dies
Rhythm fills our lives
And the silence in between
Dreamer 
Dreamer
Dreamer of dreams

A million colors rise
A truth we can’t deny y y y y y
Hold ON

Play on, play on, play on
Music never dies
Rhythm fills our lives
And the silence in between
Dreamer 
Dreamer
Dreamer of dreams

Dreamer of Dreams

Dreamer Of Dreams

I was wrong in leaving you
A reckless act I can't undo
Forgive me if my timing's off
But I have to speak before we're lost

There you stand in the rain
Your world appears in disarray
My fragile gift in despair
I need to handle this with care


I'm here today just to tell you
What you already know. I love you
But I'm so scared
If I do
You'll push me away

The cards you're dealt have knocked you down
I want to help. Don't be so proud
I hope you know that we are friends
But it's more than that, I won't pretend

I'm here today just to tell you
What you already know. I love you
But I'm so scared
If I do
You'll push me away

I should be able to say this
I want you so bad I can taste it
But I'm so scared
If I do
You might push me away

You'll Push Me Away

Stay alert, it comes on fast
Madmen lead us downcast
Whispers hit you ear 

The blind don’t mind when with their own kind

Can’t let it in the plague of the grind
Don’t let it in the plague of our time
Won’t let it in the plague of mankind
If you let it in you’ll have lost your mind

Trust your gut it's been outcast
Zealots forbade us to ask
Shoutout to the world 

The sighted are tasked to find a way out of human bind

Can’t let it in the plague of the grind
Don’t let it in the plague of our time
Won’t let it in the plague of mankind
If you let it in you’ll have lost your mind


Can’t let it in the plague of the grind
Don’t let it in the plague of our time
Won’t let it in the plague of mankind
If you let it in you’ll have lost your mind
lost your mind

The Plague

It's all on you 
It's all on you
Baby blue 
Shot down by you

The City Gates
The world awaits 
Sick and tired 
Uninspired twist of faith 

You say you never intended
You never intended this
How do you measure little sisters
Caught in violent mess 

And I wait longer 
As you grow stronger 
I watch you hesitate 

In the night stillness 
Illegal settlers
The Children beg for bread 

What hurts the most 
In silent crowds
Tolerant elite empaths
Don’t speak so loud

And you refuse 
When you're needed most 
See refugees in cardboard boxes
Starving 

And I wait longer 
As you grow stronger
Like hardline criminals

Misinformation
Sensationalising wars
The children beg for bread 

You say you never intended 
You never intended this
How do you measure little sisters 
caught in a violent mess

You never defended 
you never defended us
So many pretty eyes dying
Leaders look oblivious 

It's all on you
It's all on you
Baby Blue 
Fingerprints on you 

And you refuse
When you're needed most 
A darkness we have know
Is my vision impaired

And I stayed longer 
Than I should have done
I wait for you to wake up

Baby Blue (Song for Palestine)

We the kind to fight
Feels so good
Thought it right
This world is ours to mind

We the ones that could
Feels so good
Thought it should
This world is ours to mind

Ours to mind

It’s mad, what we have, you’re sad, listen, be bad

You’re not gona pull us down

It’s mad, what we have, you’re sad, listen, be bad, be bad

You’re not gona pull us down
You’re not gona pull us down
You’re not gona pull us down
Into your self made pit

We oppose your evil forces
The dark it is of course what
You sell for blood and time
Keep those contaminated lines 
With your dirty plans
In your fancy pants with your dirty hands

You’re not gona pull us down

My brotha Tim has been sharpening his sample chopping skills on Studio One recently. Sometimes he sends me chops that I can't resist flipping. This was one of those chops. WE hope you dig it!

MPA RADIO 015

Quiet Desperation (tape mix 7 bass cleanup/added vocals)

Written by Miles Richard Young and Yvonne Josephine Ridgeway

As we first learned to say goodbye 
I recall you had tears in your eyes 
It didn’t dawn on me till later on 
That day's gift was self sacrifice

Your push so gentle I was blind 
I was at the helm trying to thrive 
You raised me to walk my own way 
Even if you guided right every day

Shallows still and in need of rise 
I see myself through your eyes 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead

All the lessons you passed onto me 
Were meant for us both to see 
That’s what’s so truly hard to grasp 
Loves pretty bow can't be tied by someone else instead

Shallows still and in need of rise 
I see myself through your eyes 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead 

Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead
Looking back I wish I’d stayed 
We were so deathly afraid 
The deep is an unforgiving place 
Not somewhere we feel so safe

Shallows still and in need of rise 
I see myself now from your eyes 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead 
Head first and from the edge 
I dive in the deep end instead
I dive in the deep end instead
