v1 I walk amongst the dead as it seems, cos half a you asleep I'm busting at the seams (I'm filled with life) But you just bring me grief Fallen angels sing hypnotic songs (because they crave my soul) enlightened like epiphany since birth I'm child of indigo A rarity for some to see such passion in a rapping chick Most of you are hollow living shallow, cant imagine it Imagine trenching through the depths of hell lost souls are calling you crave to seek the energy you bring (forever stalling you) Dreams reflect the struggle and the leadership that i go through Amy True, gotta make a difference shed some light on you Starting in these darkest times, Spark the thought to start ya mind The flame inside my body rise Passionate, immaculate, spectacular and damaging any walls that jeopardise Natural life and natural laws Fighting for that natural cause Life was made for living yours Full potential, hidden flaws Genius that opens doors A spartan chick with no remorse (Killa) #And you can tell by the hooks in my veins Never been shook man, your looks a disgrace So where's the book's i place? You only read from the book's of the face You heard our song for the People? Living for the dream, so we long to be equal So lets stand at the top of the steeple hands in the air, not a bod that's beneath you (Amy) #See i been wasting away Pressured by the lies and a head full a hate yea (I Feel) That i need to escape, mentally suppressed I'm a open these now (I Feel) and i feel your not ready i hope that your ready I'm a keep bringing realness, I'm a keep bringing yea.. yea V 2 I treat this all like a game a chess one wrong move and i'm taking heads, chalk line fade to death lay to rest this specimen of hatred ends you've got fans cos their following the latest trends I've no followers, just family you mans pretend You from the block? Nah ya hair just stands on end I make the facts present, the main attraction is blocked by the caps on lenses So we work with a faction thats global fuck being local Pussy's not a touch on my vocal make those same jokes take note bait flow Shut ya cake whole 999 on ya way home I'm well cultured a man of remorse Had many dark times and i'm sure you've had yours is life just a ride in the park of amusement and cowards must die f they aren't to be human (Killa) #And you can tell by the hooks in my veins Never been shook man, your looks a disgrace So where's the book's i place? You only read from the book's of the face You heard our song for the People? Living for the dream, so we long to be equal So lets stand at the top of the steeple hands in the air, not a bod that's beneath you (Amy) See i been wasting away Pressured by the lies and a head full a hate yea (I Feel) That i need to escape, mentally suppressed I'm a open these now (I Feel) and i feel your not ready i hope that your ready I'm a keep bringing realness, I'm a keep bringing yea.. yea

V1 See i'm a threat to society quietly i wont take this shit secret society, silently on the devils tip i bring variety, open mind no diet shit i feed my brain with the truth don't under mind clique See i'm a Taurus, strong stubborn and loyal i. hate being around the weak i go mad, my blood boils i, don't like sheep, unique, im so royal i, need a strong team that gleams will have you shouting why, why! why's it gotta be like this suppressed but still blessed, but still blessed, no rest i got a tortured soul, Genius in my ways smoke haze i need to gain control my path and destiny awaits i'm on a fucking roll! When i was young act dumb, a criminal on road and it was fun for funds, to steal a car or two robbing drug dealers a bum's i cuss ya down if you gimme the look gimme the stare gimme the glare, i dare you to open ya mouth and be prepared i'm from a violent home Hate to have to take it there but struggles in my marrow bones I meditate to the beat i've learnt a lot from life and this is where my journey begins i gotta grow up..Right Chorus I was wrong like back in the day i used play led me astray it was all fun but i was so dumb living it up ,not giving a fuck yea, i was young like back in the day i used to play acting the fool, ooh i've grown up See how i have changed, remember my name for everything good See i've grown up V2 ( LOGIC ) I been thorough, i stay thorough i'm thorough bred meaning that i've been through the rough is what the word meant See i'm a wordsmith, blessed with the gift to write verses but back in the days ha no purpose Fields affiliated, Man dem choose to hit cages While i chose to hit the stages and travel to different places and now my face is known by different races instead a catching cases, i'm building a fan bases its what i gotta do, see its a numbers game like when i was shott'n food if i got a track its gotta move my mentality in actuality it ain't changed, don't be mad at me! Cos i wouldn't be who i be, if i didn't see what i saw, when i was young, is what i came to be everything that i am today L to da O to da G..I to da C..A to da M to da Y Chorus

V1 (Amy) See they got us all in stereotypes another way to segregate our wisdom Human beings have intelligent minds But most of us are trapped inside a mental prison created by a media hype Making things look cool and like a fool people follow it Cant you see its dumbing us down forgetting who we re to be these stars that their showing us, but #Everyones different but you don't listen, no You need to step out the box Chorus Knowledge is power, oh knowledge is power, oh knowledge is power, yea You need to step out the box Knowledge is power, oh knowledge is power, 1,2 knowledge is power, yea You need to turn off your box V2 Trapped inside a box with no brain we remain the same your comfort zone brings pain, insane cos i really wanna grow we make our elders ashamed, forgetting culture, the pain when they lost their freedom got slay no we wear financial shackles pumped with this poison called food controlled by logos with views, that it makes a better us, you no longer human being Now your a clone a drone empty inside and alone controlled by evil that grows from a lack of education #Everyones different but you don't listen, no You need to step out the box (Nate) Chorus Knowledge is power, oh knowledge is power, oh knowledge is power, yea You need to step out the box Knowledge is power, oh knowledge is power, 1,2 knowledge is power, yea You need to turn off your box

V1 Even though i messing up, i'm still on my grind i got mad visions in my head that circles round in my mind relax recline and think about how im gone do it in time ya know the house the car the kids and hopes a doing alright awake at night cos its the time for deep reflection in sight i see the life that could be possible if i just use all my might this life's a fight but like a contender im here to win it made mistakes but picked it up, thats why im always grinning Because..i see the light, like women on her death bed gasping for some air tryna pull myself through this mess messy life and bare stress, people talking names shit what they gonna do for you when government got bare heads watching you and clocking you just waiting for the right time always use my right mind, so conscious good at night time its all designed to incline, the rich stay rich while poor fight fighting just to live, fighting still just for a fair life Chorus In every country theres people millions of people, the government survives through tax from the people i only wanna live my life for the people, wanna bring smiles sing songs for the people Cos that is all we have left, that is all we have left, that is all we have left.. Every time i use my mind, Life is what i'm exploring Things will come together in time if i just use my brain and think! i would give anything, if you could only understand me i don't give a damn about nothing else Progression is all i see V2 ( EMCEE KILLA) I sing a song for the colony, sorrow self pity, good and bad thoughts will follow me the scares run deep cant get enough sleep authority will judge a man when he just speaks when i appear i sketch out all ya smear attempts never fear my friend i got your back until where near he end and thats what love can do it gives ya something new full use of the heart when you hunt for truth short fuse, tryna laugh cry like onions to real to be addressed by assumption so what you wanna do! ah i just wanna sit in this town called malice and turn every mans house into every mans palace this planets and atrocity plagued by monopoly in my world id stamp don white collar robbery and fight for the proper peace seeking believers astrology remains the same in each sequence Chorus

V1 Gimme a nice delightful, handful a heads who really been through suttn who fought their way through hell and come back and really wants to manage, establish fuck practice only using manners to open the garden gates that keep us all from living lavish see im famished like i been malnourished from what the truth is and listening to this radio has got me in the booth kid i'm on another frequency from what their tryna tell most Dj's spinning tracks on the devil its so controlled and ruthless creating characters, puppets and products desires and fears a little catchy hook so ya hooked tell ya how to think and feel i'll give you an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating vocal tones, in a structured skill and continuous manner cos my grammar dont stamma i magically have an inner light, ready to fight to see a brighter day, i fight for revolution and evolutions humanitary consciousness. V2 (JAMIE TAMIL) I've seen Hel!!l you wouldn't know what that is with no arms and legs tied to a petrol stain soaked mattress and a lit match spine split in half like a KitKat in pitch black, repeatedly having to hear ya family being tortured and raped and ready for execution with no solution knowing that you'll never ever stand the chance of retribution now thats hell, like life in a cell for suttn you didn't do death threats witcha mail ya where hell is the day yo fell out ya mums cunt barley a foetus, speaking to satan backwards about dominating every country on the atlas You couldn't fathom these thoughts i have em in sick spasms and a twisted personality i'm brutal So think twice before you call me usual cos the next time i leave you face down retarded and paralysed from fucking waste down the waist down

V1 You might need a little pick me up outta luck down and out some people talking rubbish like its knowledge swings and rounds abouts college or a life lesson education elevate, recreate your destiny decided by some demon snakes my own fate is in my hands anyway i choose to live! anyway i choose to give my heart and soul to music, kids! life is in your hands the futures coming quick, recognise the light you have and use it for that suttn sicK Change your minds, change your moods Change the way you step and move Always keep it flowing, steady growing Aint got shit to prove Never loose. Only gaining knowledge from experience reflections from another side, dimensions of this time and space Reactions of the traumatised tryna live a normal life Normal like a single mum who sniffs and fucks a million guys Normal like my house mate smoking crack and sets his room on fire Never been a liar my desire set our sites higher chorus Its a Madness (you might need) A little change, yea ee (you might need) To stop complaining just re-arrange (you might need) A little love for yourself check yourself and your surroundings V2 I was smoking maybe too much weed Eating maybe too much meat Drastically I cut it out but still there was a beast in me Fire burns my belly churns for anyone controlling me Expectations high to save the world my guilt was owning me Living on this privileged land family in the 3rd world Parents never silver spooned your looking at a strong girl Know just what I like and if i like i'll make enough mistakes If i cannot be me then what indeed im just a damn slave Raved and misbehaved enjoyed myself friends were family Always i respect and kept it real i felt their tragedy Cooking up a healthy meal i know about the alkaline My trainers made by Nazis but i cant change a lifetime Theres worse crimes than what i choose to wear im very conscious mate! Its all about expressing you Suppressing you By always feeling angry at anothers view.. Sparking up a joint and eating chicken cos i choose to! Chorus
