lyrics

I bring the beat to life
Speak my mind
People take a peek inside
Believe I'm nice
Hear me defy
thee to even find
an MC as deep as I
A decent guy
Sweet as a piece of pecan pie
When he combines
beats and rhymes
even blind
people might
see the light
beaming bright
either side
gleaming like
streets at night
so seek and ye shall find
peace of mind
deep inside
No need to read the fine
lined print or reason why
Don't even try
Ask me and I
will be your guide
Lead you by
the hand and you will see the sights
Feel a vibe
tease your spine
and leave you feeling fine
You'll be excited
to be alive
From calves, knees and thighs
to heartbeats and minds
We can lead a life
of peace and kindness
or we can fight, just

Rise
until the sun's in your eyes
Rise
until the sun's in your eyes
Rise
until the sun's in your eyes
Rise
until the sun's in your eyes


My eagle eye
will read between the lines
and see the lies
these decievers write
They cynically decide
the things you need to buy
and then repeat the cycle
until the people all believe it's right
We need to realise
it's free to be polite
and treat a being like
he or she is being equalised
Don't know why we demonise
and penalise
effectively illegalize
genotypes
What happened to being nice?
to each and every being we see alive
Treat them right
That's why me I keep on trying
to lead a vegan life
though cheese is nice
We eat the seasons, spices
denying the beast beneath has rights
'cause keeping meat inside
us is a sign that here lies
a survivor, no need to read the rites
We succeeded quite
well enough, it's tough enough to put the greed aside
Even I
let ego stride
in and feed my pride
but if we can rise
above conceit and fight
for love, then we can climb
the peaks, til finally
goodbye
From our teeth and eyes
to heartbeats and minds
you've seen us lead a life
of peace and kindness
Get off your seat and

Rise
until the sun's in your eyes
Rise
until the sun's in your eyes
Rise
until the sun's in your eyes
Rise
until the sun's in your eyes
