VERSE i see how you make love and now im breaking out the mold to tell the truth im done with the distance and the cold confusion was the climate i dont wanna get involved id rather write some raps and play the strings then hit the roads coz you dont really love me, youre just getting over someone else that hurt you, hope one day you get some closure empty beds and sleepless nights i wished that we were closer i know your world it shakes and all i wanted was to hold ya steady but this doesnt work and i aint even mad i know that love can hurt at times at time it makes you sad at times it makes you tired, at times it makes you hopeless you play with kings and queens and put your faith into these jokers hocus pocus i thought what we had was magic felt you losing focus my reply was automatic send love and respect in the hopes that you would catch it and then match it but the reality was tragic wasnt it? Chorus People come and go, my circles always rearranging if you love em let em go, were not meant to be caged in days fly by, and i revel in my ageing coz im learning every day Verse 2 To be clear you said that you wanted me here and though the atmosphere was weird i tried to persevere behaviour was irrational, maybe it was fear that someone who would love you just for you was finally near to ya and i was there for ya, barriers breaking build a bridge communicating, walk it hand in hand explaining the worlds that were creating with our thoughts and feelings making a shared reality, emotionally and mentally, carefully i appear to see a beautiful woman and shes chosen me, invoked in me the desire to inspire lend a flame to light her fire, mend her wings so she flys higher... not everyones ready to feel the love, not everyones ready to lift not everyones ready to rise above not everyones ready to shift out of this gear, of self deprecating and hating and wondering why we exist some will resist and persist to be living a life unforgiving and lacking in bliss but you you just gotta let them, go their own journey doesnt mean you dont respect em paths be winding interwining at times im smiling coz im finding peace and love whilst travelling mine CHORUS

Free World 04:23
Ive battled Shadow, but i dont wanna kill it i believe we should embrace the Darkness in our Spirit finding Balance bandaging the damage, might just take a minute examine the challenge and manage the savage towards breaking all our limits maybe i can help you with it, Hearts pounding so loud, the sound is bound to shake the ground, so the whole planet can hear it innit dont you agree? coz its plain for me to see that its up to You and Me but first we must be Free from those strangling our Minds then break the chains that shackle Palestine, mums and babys running out of time i wont provide new Life, in a world that is about to die until its right, i dont want a pregnant lady having mine you say its fine and it is what is is, i just feel bad for the kids that left their homes in a ship washing up on shore but unsure what is next, no friends and barely any family is left and folks here dont seem to see them as their equals why are they called illegal when its wars that are lethal? coz some guy controls the news informs our views and spreads the stress profit from Death and mess then persecutes the powerless Chorus Free World cant you see, its up to you its up to me Free World, under the Sun, got to make it work for everyone Verse 2 If all you spit about is straps and packs of crack and racks youve stacked even if its fact the fact remains, that shit is whack dont care about the cash, or if the bootys fat im just worried for my brothers coz the cops keep killing blacks tell me how can i relax, everytime im paying tax its buying all the bullets that their using in Iraq and so i made a pact that the purpose of my raps was to elevate my people help to put us back on track or am i just a hack? coz my conscience could be lighter my flows could be tighter like a lyrical sniper hit you in an instant from a distance to ignite ya will the message only reach you if im the best rhymer? coz the future could be brighter but its up to us to try theres no one left to guide us, the worlds a web of lies coz those that swore to lead us, protect us and to feeds us are neglecting all our needs and theyve just left us here to die Chorus

Humanity 03:02
VERSE 1 I went home, back to my city london town where its cold and its gritty young men living lives full of stress their whole life a challenge are they up to the test the whole world lied said there’s more but there less said the worlds in your hands but the whole worlds a mess no rest from political depravity, the rule with apathy so callously divide and conquer is the strategy pardon my profanity, but fuck the royal family there’s people dying on the streets her majesty sleeps happily in palaces and mansions its a travesty where is the humanity? VERSE 2 all these mechanisms, systems of control degrees to get you jobs so you can put your dreams on hold relax just pay your tax and kindly fit into this mold plus we’ve got drugs for when youre young and drugs for when you’re old drugs for when you’re sick and drugs for when you’re healthy imprison us for drugs unless the addict happens to be wealthy and white and does his crimes in suits with fine wines in pursuit of dimes am i lacking proof for my lines? there are others that walk proudly and refuse to bend the knee and would live free in a land, of unceded sovereignty uncertainty will plague the years to come and i can see we must stay rooted in our love and learnt to be VERSE 3 by MonkDhaSoul

The Remedy 04:39
VERSE 1 Born in ’93, mum took me to bethlehem my nans a fan of Jesus but me, im losing faith in him The Holy fathers absent, loads of dead and no ones raising em my brothers got some scars in tel aviv the yutes were chasing em For being latino, for being illegal xenophobia on stolen land is hypocritical how can we be so cynical? its critical we change that intolerance is typical its time to rearrange that im far from biblical id hate to be a preacher i aint hit my pinnacle theres a few things i could teach you like this word can be so pitiful, oh so despicable history is cyclical its Love that is medicinal Chorus I got the remedy, yeah thats right thats right X 4 Love is the remedy i take it every day Love is the remedy in every single way Love is the remedy we’re yearning for Connection Love is the remedy in every situation x2 Verse 2 Love is the remedy, its a necessity and i dont listen to the lies these heartless guys are telling me selling me the dreams about the honeys and the drugs money not the Love and the Truth is i dont fuck with that Heart on my sleeve, i guess im stuck with that hard to believe, im out of luck in fact i see and realise that we can all just live in Peace injustice, intolerance, hatred is disease but i got the Remedy and im prescribing daily a dose of “fuck yeah” hope my Heart never fails me Life is unpredictable its all about the balance one moment your invincible the next you’re feeling challenged by your insecurities temptations of the flesh, actin fresh but inside your a mess its natural for wounded animals to show aggression anxiety, depression getting sectioned and checked in CHORUS VERSE 3 A mi me empieza hablar la gente dicen que no temen ni el diablo ni la muerte porque sienten algo mas allá y abrazan ya la fuerza de pachamama y yo les digo no se enfoquen en el enemigo mas bien pónganle mas atención a su vecino muéstrele amor, muéstrele cariño un pueblo unido jamas sera vencido CHORUS

about

This is my debut EP and i feel so blessed to have the opportunity to share these thoughts with you. Some of these verses i started writing as far away as Mexico and the UK whilst most of them were concocted in Bundjulung and Wurundjeri land down south.

I have felt the magic and the power of these places and have nothing but respect for these people and their elders, past, present, emerging.

Always was Always will be.
