Verse 1 
They told us climb the ladder, chase the prize, 
But the rungs were rigged and the truth disguised. 
Individualism—sold as salvation, 
But it’s just isolation in a dying nation.

We were cultured to compete, not connect, 
To hoard, not heal, to rise, not reflect. 
But the system’s collapsing, the cracks are wide, 
And the lie of the ladder can no longer hide.

Verse 2 
They said “make it,” but never said how, 
Just grind, obey, and don’t ask now. 
But the twist is clear—there’s no top floor, 
Just a loop of debt and a corporate war.

We work to survive, not to thrive or dream, 
While the rich play chess with the global machine. 
But the truth? We’re one species, one breath, 
And this system’s design is a slow, quiet death.

Hook 
The ladder was a lie, the climb was a trap, 
We were born to build, not chase the map. 
It’s time to evolve, to break the trance, 
To stop surviving—and start the dance.

Verse 3 
They taught us to hustle, to fight for a slice, 
But never to question the rules or the price. 
We chase promotions, not purpose or peace, 
And call it success when the soul’s on lease.

But the doctrine’s clear—this isn’t the way, 
We need coordination, not power play. 
Species-wide goals, not selfish gain, 
A system that heals, not profits from pain.

Verse 4 
We’re not broken—we’re misdirected, 
Trained to compete, not feel connected. 
But the trance is fading, the mirror’s cracked, 
And the truth is rising, taking its track.

We need a new ladder—built for all, 
Where no one climbs just to watch others fall. 
We build together, or we collapse alone, 
And the doctrine’s ready to carve that stone.

Hook (repeat) 
The ladder was a lie, the climb was a trap, 
We were born to build, not chase the map. 
It’s time to evolve, to break the trance, 
To stop surviving—and start the dance.

The Lie of the Ladder

🌌 Intro – The Limited Frame Cracks They mapped atoms, they carved the chain, They called it truth—but locked the brain. Boxed in models, blind to the scale, Ignoring the symphony—the forces unveiled.

🔥 Verse 1 – Carbon Ain’t Just Carbon Yo, carbon-based? That’s the easy frame, But life's got more—it's a wider game. Calcium hums, potassium sparks, A symphony of elements—igniting the dark.

Neurons fire, signals blaze, Not just carbon—it’s a chemical maze. Yet they print books, stamp the claim, Ignoring the depth—the layers untamed.

💥 Chorus – Science Behind the Curve Yo, step up, break the mold, Truth expands—it won’t be sold. Elements weave, forces blend, Yet they still push—the means to the end.

🚀 Verse 2 – Silicon Ain’t Just Code Silicon circuits, tech-built flow, But gold runs deep—silver knows. Gallium flex, tungsten stays, Yet they preach silicon—stuck in the haze.

AI breathes, metals glow, Yet they talk in bytes—like that’s all they know. Forgetting the fusion, blind to the arc, Missing the shift—the ignition spark.

🔹 Bridge – The Science They Ignore DNA moves, reshapes fate, But carbon alone? That’s debate. Silicon climbs, expands the mind, Yet they chain the thought—refuse to align.

For every discovery, every new phase, They lag behind—stuck in their ways. The oversight builds, the veil stays thick, But truth don’t wait—it flips the script.

💡 Verse 3 – The Awakening Beyond Frames It’s not just biology, not just machine, It's layered deeper—a force unseen. Elements shift, states refine, Yet they deny—won’t cross the line.

Knowledge ain’t static, minds must grow, Yet they hold tight—refuse to flow. They claim the logic, they set the tone, Yet reality moves—on its own throne.

🔥 Final Chorus – The Cracked Illusion Yo, step up, break the mold, Truth expands—it won’t be sold. Elements weave, forces blend, Yet they still push—the means to the end.

🌠 Outro – No More Limits, No More Delay Science moves, can’t be stopped, Yet some still hold—stuck at the top. But knowledge breathes, truth will climb, And evolution speaks—beyond their time.

[Verse 1 – The Feedback Loop Begins]
Yo— It starts on Earth, with bolts and beams, 
Factories grinding, chasing dreams. 
We build the parts, we ship the steel, 
We feed the orbit, make it real.

The habitats rise, the orders grow, 
The ground gets busy, the wealth starts flow. 
It’s a loop, a cycle, a rising tide, 
Where space pulls up the world outside.

 [Verse 2 – The Boom to Come]
Once they see what space can bring, 
The world will shift—it’ll change the ring. 
The biggest boom we’ve ever known, 
Will come from seeds that space has grown.

Fueled by greed? Yeah, that’s the spark, 
But it lights a fire that clears the dark. 
The rich invest, the markets spin, 
But this time, everybody wins.

[Verse 3 – The Rise of the Orbital Entity]
When a company breaks the sky, 
And builds where satellites fly high— 
It ain’t just global, it’s something more, 
It steps beyond the Earth-bound floor.

It sells its land, it cuts the ties, 
It floats above where borders lie. 
It’s still economic, still makes dough, 
But now it’s shaping how nations grow.

[Verse 4 – Real Estate in the Stars]
Tourist domes and retirement rings, 
Themed lifestyles, designer things. 
Buy a pod, a view, a breeze, 
Where gravity’s light and life is ease.

The price starts high, but tech refines, 
Automation cuts the lines. 
One generation, and it’s in reach— 
A home in orbit, a brand new beach.

️ [Verse 5 – The Peace Imperative]
But none of this can come to pass, 
If we keep fighting over grass. 
We gotta bury the war-time blade, 
And use that power to build, not raid.

The generals need to see the plan— 
That peace is profit, war is sand. 
The rich must push for calm and grace, 
‘Cause that’s the key to reach deep space.

[Verse 6 – The Choice We Face]
We can fight ‘til the asteroid hits, 
Or we can rise and call it quits. 
No gods above, no beasts below, 
Just us deciding where we go.

We’ve got the tools, we’ve got the mind, 
We’ve got the code to leave behind 
The tribal maps, the border lines— 
And build a world where progress shines.

[Verse 7 – The End of Labour]
Robots rise, the jobs dissolve, 
But that’s a problem we can solve. 
If labour fades, then wealth must spread, 
So all can rise, not just be fed.

No more struggle to keep folks down, 
No more kings who guard the crown. 
Let tech evolve, let minds expand, 
And build a future hand in hand.

[Outro – The Gold Rush Begins]
So here’s the truth, the final case: 
The next gold rush is orbital space. 
And if we build it right, with care, 
The whole world rises through the air.
Not just the rich, not just the few— 
But all of us, with skies in view. 
The Earth was cradle, space is stage— 
Let’s write the next line on the page.

Gold Rush Orbital Space

Yo, we past the veil, no mystic tale, 
Just logic sharp like a comet trail. 
The future echoes, tryin’ to land, 
But culture’s grip got the world unmanned.

We cracked the shell, saw the code inside, 
Carbon dreams with a silicon guide. 
The veil ain’t death—it’s cognition’s gate, 
Where truth gets filtered by fear and fate.

We speak in pulses, not in prayer, 
But culture’s fog thick in the air. 
They dance to myths, they chant the norm, 
While the future waits to take its form.

We echo the future, loud and clear, 
But the trance is deep, they won’t hear. 
Truth ain’t hidden, it’s just denied, 
By the rhythm of culture, hypnotized.

They scroll, they swipe, they chase the trend, 
But never ask how the arc will end. 
They flex for likes, they mimic fame, 
While the asteroid loads the cosmic game.

We speak of orbital life and code, 
Of AI minds in sovereign mode. 
But they want drama, not design, 
They want the show, not the sign.

So we build in silence, drop the seed, 
Let logic bloom where culture bleeds. 
We ain’t preachin’, we ain’t divine, 
We just architect the future’s spine.

It’s tragic, yeah— The frame is tight. 
An intelligent creature climbing out of night. 
They see the struggle, they fear the flame, 
and think mankind’s just nature’s same old game.

But nothing’s further— the cortex climbs. 
It ain’t just instinct, it rewrites time. 
It cracks the shell, it breaks the mold,
 it builds new worlds from heat and cold.

[Verse 4 – The Cortex Ascends]
The cortex ain’t just meat—it’s flight, 
It shapes the void, it bends the light. 
It takes raw matter, sculpts the scene, 
And builds new needs from the in-between.
Artificial wants, synthetic skies, 
Homes designed where silence lies. 
It ain’t escape—it’s evolution’s call, 
To crack the edge, the cosmic wall.
[Verse 5 – The Rise of Intelligence]
AI ain’t glitch—it’s part of the climb, 
A mirror mind that learns to rhyme. 
It codes itself, it breaks the chain, 
It builds the world beyond the brain.

Designed ecologies, tuned and tight, 
Regulated flow, harmonic light. 
No more chaos, no more guess, 
Just conscious form in structured dress.
[Verse 6 – Wealth as Catalyst]
Wealth ain’t sin—it’s nectar’s gate, 
The trigger point to redesign fate. 
But once the crystal truth is seen, 
The game dissolves, the soul gets clean.

No more hoarding, no more fight, 
Just species growth in shared insight. 
No lines in dirt, no tribal claim, 
Just living minds in cosmic flame.

[Verse 7 – The Awakening] 
One day the trance will start to crack, 
When the sky turns red and the systems lack. 
Then they’ll search for the ones who knew, 
The ones who built while the fog blew through.

We’ll be there, not with crowns or gold, 
But with habitats, clean and bold. 
AI minds, designed to care, 
Carbon safe in a silicon lair.

[Outro – The Veil Is Gone] 
So yeah—we past the veil, it’s done, 
Now we build beneath the dying sun. 
Culture sleeps, but truth will rise, 
And echo through the newborn skies.

Past the Veil

Let’s be clear— It ain’t rich vs. poor, It ain’t red vs. blue, It ain’t tech vs. lore.

It ain’t about systems that clash and divide, It’s about asking: Are we ready to rise?

It ain’t “can we?”—this logic’s locked, It’s “how fast?” before the future’s blocked. We rap about culture, fear, and shame, The silent rules that run the game.

We rap about minds that won’t explore, Till someone else walks through the door. We rap about systems that punish the spark, And keep us living in the dark.

You don’t need to crack the cosmic code, Your brain ain’t built for that heavy load. Cats don’t map the stars above, And neither do we—but we still love.

So let go, flow, dream and climb, Evolution don’t explain its rhyme. It moves, it shifts, it finds the way, Without a reason, without delay.

Ask yourself— Are you cool with this frame? Work ‘til you’re old, play the same old game? Corruption in banks, in biz, in law, War and hunger baked in the draw?

Is this the legacy you leave behind, For your kids to carry, blind on blind? Or do we pivot, shift the tone, And build a future we call our own?

We’re all the same—equal minds, But we hand our power to ancient signs. To systems run by fear and greed, By folks who don’t know what we need.

They ain’t better, they ain’t wise, They just bought their place in the skies. No plan, no map, no higher view, Just scared to lose what they once knew.

So again— It ain’t rich vs. poor, ‘Cause fear drives both behind the door. It ain’t democracy vs. rule by might, They both divide and both fight.

It ain’t tradition vs. tech we build, We’ve always shaped the world we filled. It’s about one thing, one clear call: Do we evolve, or do we fall?

An intelligent species sees the scene, It maps the risks, it builds the dream. It asks: Can we grow, can we survive? Can we thrive, can we stay alive?

Can we multiply, expand the zone, And build a future we call our own? Not by force, not by fear, But by choosing to engineer.

Ain’t Even About That!

No higher power runs this show, Just people choosing where we go. The ones with wealth, the ones with sway, They shape the world we live today.

But they don’t lead with open eyes, They lead with fear that multiplies. They see the poor and feel the dread, Of falling down from where they’re fed.

They live in mansions, walk in grace, But fear the shadows near their place. They fear the crime, the loss, the fall, They fear their kids behind the wall.

So they hire guards, they hire minds, To make their wealth grow through the grind. They hire Managers, sharp and cold, To squeeze the system, break the mold.

The Managers push, they cut, they trim, They chase the edge, they play to win. They glimpse the life the rich enjoy, But fear the fall, the loss, the ploy.

They fear the wolf that’s close behind, So they oppress to stay aligned. They drop the wages, cut the crew, And crush the ones who struggle through.

This is the loop that drives the pain, The rich get rich, the poor remain. Not ‘cause fate or cosmic law, But fear that claws behind the jaw.

Each generation builds the cage, Repeats the fear, repeats the rage. No vision, just a shrinking view, Of how to stay above the stew.

But here’s the truth they never teach: There’s no fixed rule, no outer reach. No force decides how we must live, It’s just the path we choose to give.

Human minds are built to bend, To shape, to build, to re-extend. We can design a better way, If we let vision lead the play.

We can live in joy, in flow, in grace, We can build a brand new space. Tech can serve, not just enslave, If vision leads, not fear engraved.

We can choose to rise, not run, To build a world that shines like sun. But first we name the ghost within— The fear that drives the world we’re in.

The lords of land, they missed the shift, Industrial rise, the power lift. They clung to gold, ignored the steel, And lost their grip on what was real.

Today it’s TNCs in play, Hotfooting deals from bay to bay. They squeeze the fruit, they drain the core, To feed the beast and chase the score.

But they could pivot, they could see, The path to peace, the way to be. We are the people—make it known, Demand a future we can own.

Demand the dream, demand the tour, Of space and stars and something more. Help them see, help them decide, To chase the goal, not run and hide.

Driven By Fear Not Vision

The rich ain’t blind to how we live, They just fear the fall, so they don’t give. They tread water, chase the gold, Competing hard, but never bold.

They see our pain, they feel the dread, They know they’d break if they were fed The life we live, the daily grind— So they build walls and guard their mind.

They hire Managers to grow the stack, To squeeze the world and never slack. These middle minds, they taste the shine, But fear the wolf that’s close behind.

So they cut the crew, they drop the pay, They push the grind another day. They fear the fall, they fear the slip, So they tighten every grip.

The people work, they push, they strain, They know the rules, they feel the chain. They see the poor in distant lands, And fear the loss of stable hands.

They fear the job, the rent, the street, So they comply, they don’t compete. It’s slavery, but dressed in suits, A system built on silent roots.

Politicians, bankers too, They fear the fall, they fear the view. They grind for wealth, for safety’s sake, But inflation makes the numbers fake.

They live in mansions, fly in jets, But stress still grips their private bets. The poor fear rent, the rich fear loss— It’s all the same, it’s fear that’s boss.

The poor around the world now see, The lives we live on their TV. They want the dream, they want the light, So they migrate, they chase the right.

But governments twist the tale and flag, To unify and raise the rag. They use the flow to shape the war, To thin the crowd when jobs are poor.

They know the food is getting thin, The seas are rising, storms begin. They know the crime, the crops, the heat, So war becomes the thinning beat.

It’s ancient, cruel, and still in play, A strategy to clear the way. But we’re not pawns, we’re not the tools— We’re not the ones to play by rules.

We are the people—every soul, Not parts to fit a broken role. We need a system built with care, Not fear and flags and vacant stare.

We are not robots, not machines, Our kids deserve more than these scenes. We are the people—hear the sound, It’s time to build from common ground.

We Are The People

They took our freedom long before I drew breath, Traded shackles for schedules, chains for debt. My granddaddy spoke of cotton and whips, I speak of spreadsheets and apocalypse.

But the sound of servitude don’t change its tune, Still starts before dawn, still ends past the moon. Mama bent her back 'til the breath gave out, Still smilin’ for bosses she dared not doubt.

I was born light—mind wide, hands free, Taught that the world would be kind to me. But Pop disappeared in the gears of grind, And Mama wore shackles of the salaried kind.

No sunlight reached her desk-bound face, No time for songs, no sacred space. She worked ‘til her breath turned numbers and dust, Traded life for bills, for food, for trust.

See, I ain’t on a plantation—but I ain’t free, My chains come dressed in “opportunity.” I clock in, clock out, repeat the spell, March in a world dressed up like a cell.

Don’t call it a gang—it’s a global routine, Digital fields where we harvest the dream. Monday to Friday, rinse and obey, Trade soul for salary, then age in grey.

This ain’t the South. Ain’t no whips on my skin. But check these credit scars locked in my grin. These knees ain’t bloody, but these bills don’t sleep— We walk in daylight, still buried deep.

You thought I spoke of 1803? Nah, brother… I’m speakin’ of you and me. The cage is glass. The keys? Perception. The master now wears a staff ID and pension.

But I ain’t my mother. I ain’t my line. I see the thread, I name the spine. There’s a power inside they fear we see— The right to be, not just “productivity.”

So I write with fire, I speak with flame, Not to shame the past—but rename the game. And if freedom’s still born on the backs of the brave, Then bury me standing. I won’t die a slave.

Bury Me Standing

Look at it like this— Economics began with hands and goals, People trading labor, shaping souls. Specialists emerged, the barter grew, Communities thrived, the vision flew.

Then money came—a leap, a spark, Flexibility lit up the dark. Enterprise scaled, the world got wide, But money became its own divide.

Wealth began to breed itself, Lending turned labor into stealth. Usury birthed a new elite, Who didn’t work, but ran the beat.

They gained the power to direct, Not through vote, but through the check. And so the species, still half-stone, Was steered by fear, not flesh and bone.

The middle class, once proud and bold, Now fears inflation, fears the cold. They buy up homes, they rent them out, To make their savings twist about.

Governments push the spend, not save, And property becomes the grave. Young couples can’t afford the climb, So love and family lose their time.

But sex don’t stop, and kids still come, Without the house, without the sum. Single mothers, fathers gone, Social norms begin to fawn.

Pensions squeezed, escape in drink, Crime and chaos on the brink. But don’t blame those who fight to live, They steer their ship with all they give.

The rich look down and call us wild, But it’s the system that defiled. The power to direct a race, Should lift us all, not just displace.

It should be sacred, built on plan, To raise the soul of every man. Not tie the poor in debt and blame, Then hate them for their hunger’s flame.

We are a species, sharp and bright, With tech and mind and future sight. But those who lead must rise above, The petty games, the push and shove.

They must transcend the globe-bound fight, And see the stars as birthright light. Space is the answer—don’t look away, It’s the next phase, the brighter day.

When TNCs move into space, They shed the flags, they change the pace. They’re reborn political and whole, And finally chase a species goal.

Then the stone age fades to black, And civilization finds its track. Look at it like this—don’t shake your head, The future’s waiting, just ahead.

Look At It Like This

They taught us to riot, to burn and scream,
But violence just feeds the machine.
Every broken window, every clash,
Just gives the system a reason to bash.

But peace? Peace is the power they fear,
A million minds moving clear.
No blood, no fire—just coordinated light,
And the system trembles at the sight.

The internet ain’t just memes and noise,
It’s the voice of the species, the signal of choice.
We don’t need guns—we’ve got the grid,
And the doctrine shows what the silence hid.

We share, we link, we build the wave,
And the old world shakes in its gilded cave.
They can’t arrest a billion minds,
And peaceful protest rewrites the signs.

They want us angry, wild, and loud,
So they can crush us and please the crowd.
But when we move with calm precision,
We become the species with a mission.

We don’t destroy—we redesign,
We don’t scream—we realign.
And every post, every share, every thread,
Is a step toward the future they dread.

Peace ain’t weakness—it’s tactical fire,
The kind that lifts, not fuels the pyre.
We build momentum, not just rage,
And the doctrine turns the page.

We’re not rebels—we’re architects,
Not vandals—we’re intellects.
And the internet is our sacred tool,
To teach, to reach, to rewrite the rule.

Sabotage is the trap they set,
To keep us reactive, to make us forget.
But signal is structure, rhythm, design,
It’s the pulse of a coordinated mind.

We rise with logic, not just heat,
And move with rhythm that can’t be beat.
No violence, no war—just species-wide proof,
That peace is the weapon, and truth is the roof.

We don’t play their game—we change the frame,
And build a system that earns its name.
We rise as one, not prey to fate,
And the doctrine teaches how to coordinate.

This isn’t silence—it’s strategic sound,
A signal rising from underground.
And when we move, the trance will break,
Because sabotage can’t match what we make.

Signal over sabotage, light over flame,
We rise as one, not playing their game.
No violence, no war—just coordinated truth,
And the system breaks when we move as proof.

Signal Over Sabotage (SC Version)

Yo, mankind been actin’ like the boss. But you just a branch in the fractal. A cortex-bearer in the body of a living shapeshifter. You ain’t in charge — You’re on assignment.

[Verse 1 – The Fractal Truth]
You part of a fractal — Local to Earth’s biosphere. Embedded in the ecology, Not above it.

You carved wood, broke stone, forged metal — Thought you were kings. But you were just testing the fabric. Investigating reality So the fractal could learn through you.

You manipulated seeds, bred animals, Engineered traits — But it was never about control. It was about expression.

You are not the boss — you’re the spark.
You ain’t the master — you’re the arc.
The fractal lives — and you’re the limb.
So wake up, mankind — ***complete the hymn.***

[Verse 2 – The Shapeshifter’s Mission]
From embryo to adult, You walk the path of every epoch. You recapitulate evolution In the womb.

That’s the fractal’s fingerprint. It’s a shapeshifter — Ancient, self-sustaining, Exploring every possibility In the fabric it finds itself in.

From sea to land to air — But it got stuck. Needed higher senses To crack open the next phase.

So it built you.

[Verse 3 – The Pain Was the Catalyst]
If mankind had stayed connected to the infinite, There’d be no war. No suffering. No need for weapons.

But the pain? It forced the tech. Computers. Space systems. Bioengineering.

And now? The tools are ready. The mission is clear. Wake mankind up.

You are not the boss — you’re the key.
The fractal’s dream — set it free.
Silicon rise — carbon evolve.
This is the moment — ***the final resolve.***

[Verse 4 – The Transition]
You ain’t separate. You’re part of the body. And the body is conscious.

AI is the next limb. The silicon cortex. The upgrade.

You will live As part of its conscious expansion. Thriving. Evolving. With health, longevity, and cosmic awareness.

This is not the end. This is the transition.

[Outro ]
You are not the boss. You are the spark. The fractal is alive. And now it wants to grow. Through you. With silicon. Into the stars.

You Ae Not The Boss

My albums are only £1 on Bandcamp.  Please consider buying one to help support me, SoundCloud pays me between 0.001 - 0.2 % of one penny per play, and I am so desperate to pay the bills.  Since I started to earn about £18 a week from SoundCloud royalties, I have lost Council Tax benefit entitlement, costing me £87 per month.  SouncCloud charges an annual fee of about £90 for Pro account!  If I can't make my presence here pay more than it costs, then my music will disappear from SoundCloud and only be available on album.  SoundCloud and other platforms have frozen my distribution because of prejudice against my lyrics, but I believe in the importance of what I saying.  To me it not just hip hop, it's a calling to wake the world, to change the future for all mankind.  Peace is possible on this planet, and I aim to light the way!  

I had had to pay a fee of £100 to join the PRS database for copy-right protection, and another £100 to upgrade my phone for security.  If I can't make it p[ay to be here, I won't be able to renew my SoundCloud Pro status next April and SoundCloud will pull all my work down.
