Sheep

Walking, thinking, feeling, responding
Uncovering and discovering new things about myself and this mad world around me
Many philosophies, many tongues, many dialects and tones
Different styles but wild is wild, calm is calm, but cool is mature
Most cool cats are kids at heart
Now there's business along with the art
A chef with words, a chef with herbs, a chef with vegetables, soy products and bean curd
Some look at my face and say you're quite absurd
And I say why, 'cos I'm not down with the herd?

Of the world I haven't seen much, but with the mind I escape the ghetto's clutch
Loose cigarettes, ass bets on celo games, abandoned cars and colourful names on walls
Suburb days were filled with sun rays and crooked cops who looked at me sideways
Singin' that same old song, where ya from, 'cos round here you don't belong
Long strolls unravel my soul like a scroll telling many stories untold
But some look at my face and say you're quite absurd
And I say why, 'cos I'm not down with the herd?

I an' I light up the sky, who be the sun, to stir up your adrenaline like African drums
Status quo, no. Along with the grain, no. I got my own flow
Similar to none, dangerous like itchy fingers on guns, yet graceful like swans
But there's a built in bomb
Must defuse, must choose, right or wrong, win or lose
Born to die, that's why I ask why is it so hard to get a piece of the pie
Some look at my face and say you're quite absurd
And I say why, 'cos I'm not down with the herd?

Doin' A Crime

Action packed black Mac10, Junior & his friend
Not a pot to piss in, starvin' brothers on a mission
Half past two, William planned to rob the toll booth GW bridge
Got the weapon concealed, nothin' to lose
They choose to break the rules at all cost
Stick 'em in Jersey, hit the other side to New York
Black and red leather suits and black biker boots
One got the gun, the other one controls the motorbike
Adrenaline pumpin', dreams of cash
Anybody tryin' to stop them's getting' lead in their face, believe that
Black pack on his back ready for loot to fill
What a thrill they gonna be robbin' that booth for real

(chorus)
Doin' a crime, shakin' a dice, takin' a chance
You might get away or get locked for life
Doin' a crime, shakin' a dice, takin' a chance
You might get away or just lose your life

Helmets on racin' down route 4, Junior pushin' the bike, Ike totin' the Mac
No time to be scared
"When we on 'em point it at 'em, tell 'em to fill the bag 'cos we not getting' had"
By this time it's 5.30, rush hour's thick
So they weave through the cars, get to the toll booth quick
"It's a chick!"
He put it to her head and said, "It's a stick, fill the bag, big bills, put the ones in my hands, we out!"
Hot!
With the cops on their trail, dippin' and swervin', almost crashed right into a rail
Sweatin' like hell, they're not even tryin' to see jail
'Cos they pulled the sting and robbed the toll booth for real

(chorus)

Jumior weavin' through the cars, speed the cops can't catch
But they're gainin' on 'em, Ike got a plan for that
Throw the ones in the air, all the cars hit the brakes
So they could get out and get some, the cops look dumb
Because they couldn't get through, people blocked the path
So Junior and Ike hit the west side fast
They got their gear stashed somewhere near the train, smooth getaway
Ready to take the loot to the brain
Change their clothes, ditch the bike, Ike tripped in the trash
"Keep it movin', gotta get the loot to the lab"
Breathin' heavy, movin' quickly, situation's sticky
The whole mission was ill, they got away smooth for real

Recognise and Realise

(chorus)
Recognise and realise
We all need peace
Recognise and realise

I spit lingo that's universal
Each verse'll convey Zimbabwe to Afghanistan in reversal
Burst through racial barriers, Capricorn through Sagittarius
From various areas mingle
Understood 'cos I'm bilingual
In every country K makin' the honey's jingle with what I sprinkle on a single now
Throw a hand in the air and keep it high, symbolising the vibe together
With sound that unifies humanity as family regardless of nationality
I see black and white side by side with Swede and Japanese
Partyin' hardy to the rhythm
Displayin' universal unification has been risen, yeah

(chorus)

From NY to the most high, mountains of Bangladesh
Me and my clique we speak peace
But I believe we gots to unify my peeps first, then embrace the world at it's worst
Through your town by the speed of sound
How can we work this, no prejudice
Debate amongst skin tones and origins, begin again
I'm sendin' 'em a memorandum, enough to inform 'em
Through jazz loops I warn 'em
We got to come together from the como estas to the arriverderci
I bet they felt me
Commercial or underground I bet the sound pounds
So clap your hands and give my man from the band a standing ovation in every nation

(chorus)

We turn it out without a doubt
Shouts to the East coast, West, North and South
Rockin' the house without discrimination
Every nation under the groove, whether be African or Asian
Embracing the sound that makes the world get down
Provided for the masses from miles around
Find peace of mind and unwind with this rhyme given, combined with rhythm
Makin' y'all refrain from sittin'
The place is here, get up out ya chair
To where no worries and party like ya just don't care
Music the universal language we all understanding
What it's aim is will forever entertain us

Time And Space

(chorus)
Time and space, percussion and bass
The whole world's moving at a blindin' pace
Life's a card game, tryin' to hold the ace
See you might get erased in this great paper chase

Open up your brain cavity, gravity pulls my direction
Got somethin' to say plus the trom like Dr Bombay
You goin' my way 'cos life is just like a highway
Ya either with me or not 'cos SS blows the spot
Through the roof of your club or the back of your shack
Sinister V's on attack no matter what you pack
A different species of ill MCs them G's gotcha box on 10
In your mix tape blend
You can philosophise, see my plans' to make my fam rise
Put some bread on the table in a house that's stable
Ain't nothin' changed but dimes and quarters, you know the orders
I sting international style when I'm buckwild

(chorus)

I shake the house down with sound
Some say it's ridiculous, some they sleep on this
Bound to hit 'em dead centre, not the best but not the worst
Sahdeeq'll hit 'em with a verse of flavour
Catch it now take it home, think about it later
I rock for brothers in Pintos to Mazeratis
Hotties with thick bodies, drinking nectar in the shady sector in the summer
I catch a flow like a canoe going down the river
Pass them snakes that slither
Deliver realness in any words I spit
Legit vocalist straight from the abyss
To my peeps across the globe I say peace
And that's the absence of all confusion, just cruisin'

(chorus)

You could camouflage the truth but it still comes through in what you do
B after A and you'll C
Write rhymes for peeps on the street not what the company thinks, just finance
So I could shake the dance like wet pants
You had a hit once but now you rock the dunce cap
'Cos you don't know nothin' about where this form began
Got you all in check like whoo hah, shut down all the hoopla
You now wanna come back like you're really my pal
But I peeped your whole style, defecate on your pile
Top of your heap leavin' your whole crew cheap
Lost for words, I breathe thoughts never heard by man
Foil ya plan and disappear in the sands of

Soul Brother

The virtuoso untold impresario of sound
Composed from within enclosed now unfolds, toes tap as a reaction
Adapting to patterns of rhythm
Diggin' what the soul brother givin' em
Let your mind connect to the injection in your ear
As the architects flex on his set, skills of inner depth with no slack
Observe a brothers essence who in fact been in existence before rap
The soul brother
For years officially instilling original fulfilling rhythmical joints to listen to
Non individual abettor assisting whomsoever, clever
Wack this brother? Never!
Bodies sway when he plays, since the days of way back
Still today he'll lay tracks that's fat when weighed in, chill
Soul brother on this number
Give 'em a taste hit 'em and lace 'em with the rhythm

(chorus)
Soul Brother's on the scene
The soul brother
We combine a rocket for your mind, one time a true mastermind
Soul Brother's on the scene
The soul brother, one of a kind, no other
Genuine, out of line, keepin' the rhythm on time

The soul brother, no other keeps ya movin'
Groovin' to a tune there ain't a sound more soothin'
Oozin' over vibin' he's supplyin', find him chart-climbing
Proving two men who ain't losin' the game, instead sustain endeavour
Whenever we're together soul flows til tunes close sever
Recognise the steel as concealed thoughts unveil
Then reveal what you feel from within, peel
KCB is who this, new to this is ludicrous
I'm true to this game, retain
Who is the brother of soul, solely?
No, in reality many be being, though no-one and only
Bodies sway when he plays, since the days of way back
Still today he'll lay tracks that's fat when weighed in, chill
Soul brother on this number
Give 'em a taste hit 'em and lace 'em with the rhythm

(chorus)

The innovator, creator of audio gold
Kept on your toes by what he has composed, talent exposed
Technics co-ordinated with precision
Catering to whatever flav you're listening to
Bodies sway when he plays, since the days of way back
Still today he'll lay tracks that's fat when weighed in, chill
Soul brother on this number
Give 'em a taste hit 'em and lace 'em with the rhythm

An Ordinary Day in an Unusual Place (2001)

Get Out

You don't think that I would do what I said that I'd do
You said that you'd be there if I needed you to come through
What's in a word, a word don't matter when it stands on sinking sand
Belief is gone you done too much harm, others involved don't understand
Get real you lie, you don't know what honest means
Hey hey hey hey
Get out!

(chorus)
Get out (X go!
You don't know what this means
Having to set you free
Get out!

How did we come to this world that I see myself in?
My trust and love and faith have all been mighty broken
You say you do and then you don't then it's all left up to me
Keep it going all day long while you're out there playing free
Can't take it gotta go now I'm gonna take care of me
Hey hey hey hey
Get out!

(chorus)

I thought that we'd be together 'til the world came undone
But that was before I found out where you're coming from
What's in a word, a word don't matter when it stands on sinking sand
Belief is gone you done too much harm
Others involved don't understand
Get real you lie, you don't know what honest means
Hey hey hey hey
Get out!

You Can't Hold Me Down

Why y'all wanna stress me for
Can't a young man have fun any more?
Been to more places than you ever saw
Why you always wanna keep me poor
Can't my world be cooler than yours
Keep a smoke inbetween my jaws
Or is it my job to point out my flaws
Just because you got your mind on pause
'cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same

(chorus)
You can't hold me down
Ain't gonna be pushed around

Why you always wanna try and stop me
I don't think you could really top me
Can't my car be quicker than yours
Or is it my job to always wash floors
Don't blame me for the way I live
My work is done it's time to give
I don't think you should get all mad
Just because I wanna groove so bad
You can sit down and let the world
Bring you down in that spiral twirl
You can't penetrate the crust
And rise above the eyes like us
'cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same

(chorus)

Why you always look at me so wrong
Just because I wear my hair so long
Can't my world be bigger than yours
Or is it my job to always break laws
Can't my talk be smoother than yours
Why you always wanna shut your doors
I ain't got no time for your wars
You don't have to worry about me no more
'cause I ain't got no time tonight
For all the things that just ain't right
Like traffic lights and crowded trains
Tonight it just won't be the same

Let My Dreams Come True

When I am all alone, I dream dreams of you
Of your smile, your walk, your eyes, the way you talk
It's everything you do
And it drives me wild and I hope that you notice
I'm offering my all

(chorus)
I'll open wide, and let my dreams come true
I'll step aside, and let them all come through
I'll open wide, and let my dreams come true
And I will fly, and live my life with you

My dreams, do you want to know my dreams?
Let me tell you of these things that I see
I see kisses and love, stars that only shine for us
Two hearts made into one for all time
And I pray that you'll give me time to show you
How much I really need you
And want to just hold you forever

(chorus)

Is it true, can I really have you?
Reach out and touch you and you'll be real
Are your lips forming a phrase, "You love me"
Can't live without me and I'm your home
And I thank you for letting me just show you
That our two souls are meant to entwine into love

India

You shoulda seen her, she shined like a star from afar
Visions of venus silky as she sat at the bar
She had me feenin', I really wanna know who you are
And what's the meaning
Legs like the strings of guitars
She got my body moaning, her body toning like hot sand
My eyes are roaming if only for the moment
But I can't control it, it's like my heart was stolen
And when she looked at me I tried but then I couldn't hold it
"Can I talk to you"
She answered in a sexy motion , "Yes"
Her breath was like a magic potion
She had me floating in her private ocean
She said her name was India and then the door was open

You shoulda seen her, the way she moved her body so right
Like ballerinas
Can't get her outta my sight
In the background the sun melts and drips in the night
The scent of white roses taunting me, I'm acting polite
She got my body moaning, her body toning like hot sand
My eyes are roaming if only for the moment
It's like I can't control it, it's like my heart was stolen
And when she looked at me I tried but then I couldn't hold it
Sippin' on mineral water like the pharaohs daughter
It's like we're worlds apart but now I'm 'bout to cross her border
She had the kinda face that could intoxicate
Her name was India, to be together was fate

You shoulda seen her, it's like time's slowed in its pace
Hearing a smooth song she came about an inch from my face
Grabbed my arm then we floated in a dance like space
Then she whispered "we can go to your place"
She had my body moaning, her body toning like hot sand
My eyes are roaming if only for the moment
It's like I can't control it, it's like my heart was stolen
And when she looked at me I tried but then I couldn't hold it
She said let's run away, let's burn the night and play
She said she had until the day before she goes away
And while the candlelight burned I held her in my arms
Her name was India and then she was gone

Sittin' On My Park Bench

No money in my pocket and no place to go
Sittin' on this park bench just watching the show
The sun is hanging out with his friend the sky
I ain't got no job but I'm still getting by
You'd think that I'd have nothing to do
But the world's a better television than you knew
It's a never ending tale filled with cartoon characters that are real
And it's all right here

(Chorus)
Sittin' on my park bench just watching to see
What the world would come up with today for me
Will it be laughter or tears, or something that will make me swear
That I've been there

Ooh there's that woman again
She looks like she has lived five hundred lives
People try not to stare and make themselves aware
Of her world that has no walls to shelter her body and her mind
As it goes kicking and screaming into another realm
Filled with thunderstorms of unreality
Never knowing if she's four or seventeen
Horrifying scene
Hope it's not me

(chorus)

I like children
But their parents look like they've got a lot of tension
Is it the mortgage or is it bills, has he lost his job, is she taking pills?
I guess life will do with you as it will
Maybe if you just dropped out of society there would be less insanity
Who's more crazy them or me?
