[Verse 1: KP Kev the Poet]
He used to fear that they’d all question his ability to represent
(Hip-Hop) – an over-sensitive man, calls himself a feminist
Cos mainstream Hip-Hop seems so superficial, masculine and venomous
To women. Laurel and Hardy ain’t seen such revoltin’ developments
I used to pick up peng from London’s most revolting tenements
Long before my brethren got Bristol bladder from more ketamine than elephants
I AM Hip-Hop… my memories the evidence
Before and after the dub poetry I dabbled in all Hip-Hops elements -
B-Boying, DJing, Beatboxing, Graffiti, and the fifth
MCing, time to be quartz crystal clear and end the mist/mystery
/Terry Gilliam directed this lucid dream, end the myth
I used to HATE myself for caring what you think a legend is
While telling you all to love yourselves, yeah, “KP KeV the hypocrite.’
Hooked on Facebook and YouTube while still saying “televisions shit”
Galactic Central? send upgrade labelled ‘remember mission quick.’
They sent one blank sheet of paper… And a pen – a bic
There was another envelope they must have sent it with
Inside it said “Just love yourself, ps it’s you that sent the script.”
And for a moment I remember - Consciousness is infinite
If everything’s everything, let’s just live for mutual benefit
Is that so hard? Even with cracked old hearts?
It seems the evil know power and the good know scars
But dualitys a fallacy of faculties that’s limited
What if there is no good and evil and your power’s infinite?
[Hook / Hook]
What Dem t’inking? Got dem tinking
We’re not even thinking, just Quantum linking
What Dem dealing? Seemingly healing
Not even healing, just quantum revealing
Our personal connection to infinite being's been leading to freedom
We've become people who set goals and achieve em!
Our personal connection to infinite being's been leading to freedom
We've become people who set goals and achieve em!
[Bridge]
Love yourself. Love each other
Spread love to your sister and brother
Just take a pause to stop thinking
We’re always connected, Quantum Linking!
Remember to love myself, laughed at myself being hard on myself
Self critical, judgmental, too quick with a par for myself
Raise yer chin, drop the drawbridge, kick back
Raise a grin, feel inner peace impact!
[Hook / Hook]
What Dem t’inking? Got dem tinking
We’re not even thinking, just Quantum linking
What Dem dealing? Seemingly healing
Not even healing, just quantum revealing
[Verse 2: KP Kev the Poet]
With drum beats to knock out front teeth We send vibes so lovely
… like the blessings I received within one week
I was offered to host an open mic at a lovely venue in Bristol
And asked to be a trustee of two different charities by two different people
I was looking forward to supporting Congo Natty in a couple of weeks
With Jakus Lakus providing more than a couple of beats
Said to myself “you’ve been raving to Congo Natty since your teens!”
And still got Fizzy Forest’s Happy Daze on February 14th!
[Break]
And not in your dreams have you yet experienced
This bredrins weirdest flows or concepts, yep, yeah I guess they’re ‘various.’
May leave your mind precariously delirious. But like the rest they’re just appearances…
Rest in your awareness, yes
(for short moments many times
It may sound tedious
But it’s not. I can guarantee it, yes it can profoundly relieve stress.)
I got to Appearing truly blessed from appearing truly cursed
…Whatever the appearances? You are the universe!
That’s why ya flow… Act like ya know!
I cry. Let no one to tell you how to act like a bloke…
We are all one with a force nothing could ever stop king
Never got sober so much as just over over-drinking
Now it’s time to stop over-thinking. Cos when I watched many minds stop thinking
For short moments many times… I watched many shine
Uh! Some days I just felt too emotional to cope at all
The hermit watching Kermit but still often known to ball
We’re the ones who catch the alley-oop AND those who throw the ball
But if we’re ALL da kings and queens… is there no throne at all?
It’s fine to be emotional, just watch them emotions all disappear into the nothingness…
…from whence they came, then more loving, yes!
