After Morning
Welcome to a new morning, a change is dawning,
This one's for you kids in the corners,
sing a song for my daughters,
Little Zappas and baby Madonnas
The light can’t be far now,
It’s the end of the war now,
(yeah)
Speak with me if you cry for freedom,
your soul’s feeling down for no reason,
Every second, every breath of air that you breathe in,
it's all in your mind what you conceiving,
(yes!)
I found peace in my backyard trees,
Killer bees in them gangs, don't freeze,
Let the breeze bring you down to ya knees,
It’s all your head brother, please.
Stop complicating, get more complex,
Nothing is real if not seen in context,
I’m here on a conquest,
I wont rest, Theres no greater test,
Better than to fix my own mess,
(yeah)
It's all in your head brother, please.
If you need someone come sit with me,
We’re all in this together, see,
You put your mind to it n you can fly
There's no real way to know if it's all okay,
Lately you know how world's going all cray,
Maybe it's me and it’s all I've got to imagine,
It's all I've been fed, sitcoms n beauty pageants,
It's like, someone else’s reality that I'm living,
I've fed the powers that have now stopped giving,
But I found the magic while in my backyard trees,
You'll learn too, it's all in your head brother please wait.
Do you stop to wonder how to change your life, huh?
Maybe it's bigger than all these comments and likes, yea?
From when we started at fight or flight,
It's been the same every goddamn night,
(every goddamn night)
I guess it's now or never , time to take a step forward,
Mother nature never really had mercy for cowards,
Sharpen your vision, It’s your only tool at hand,
Too many footprints on the sand,
Im’ma skip that Goa plan
It's all in your head brother, please.
(It’s all in your head man!)
If you need someone come sit with me,
(I gotta chair right here)
we’re all in this together, see,
(Now why don’t you sit down and tell me what your problem is?)
You put your mind to it, you can fly.

PURPLE
I think I’m gon’ be a little less derogative,
She so cold my eyes froze and god knows what happened then,
Well, maybe it's just me, see, I don’t speak her language,
She ain’t at my gigs, it's the cool kids that she hangs with
Now I could be brave,
Given the time and the place,
But the moment seems to always takes it away, you know?
I was easy with grades, college and placements,
Decent at sports and average engagements,
PC games in the basement,
And we move into bigger towns and start meeting strangers and,
This one weird chick at a random party, our numbers exchange
Life was never the same, no.
She so wild, she could hug a lion and tame it
Life was never the same, I couldn’t maintain it,
Sometimes so quiet, silence in a shell,
I just knew it when I fell, she got me so tripped out now
She’s so crazy she once punched a cop in the face,
No better balance have I seen of rage and grace
But she got taste and her heart in a good place
Stevie to herbie to paak, it's all her playlist
Yeaaah
Now I could tell ya, she might sound like priestess,
But you gotta know her well, to know what a real beast is,
Jesus!,
She’s more purple than pink, vapes more than she drinks,
She got this magical stare and winks more than she blinks
Not a curse but more than a jinx, her arbitrary ways of looking at things,
And I’m just like...
Holy shit!,
You gotta be kidding me,
I’m twisted through emotions as reality is hitting me,
Feels like a vampire cupid has come bitten me
Felt if I stuck around her enough, she might even set me free
Now is that all
Or is there more than meets the eye now?
Is she the truth or it's all deceitful lies now?
I asked about her Dad and he didn’t sound all that nice
I asked about her Mom and she already evaded twice,
Is she an easy come up or did she pay the price too?
Later found that she got taped in high school
A so-called boyfriend almost took her life too
The world found out and she got all that advice too,
Now nothing in her world would ever seem appealing,
Her broken heart had to close for some healing,
Crying alone while she drove past the sea link,
Sitcoms and stand up while staring at the ceiling
Years had passed and she’s not the same now,
Millennial times, she’s got the game now,
Smart as fuck like Hermione Granger
Watch your mouth brother, she don’t take shit from strangers.
I have magic, but she taught me how to be ruthless,
I had self-respect, but she showed me how to be selfless
I had powers but she taught me how to find purpose,
Made me see what the real work is.
*bridge*
She was wild she could hug a lion and tame it,
Life was never the same, I couldn’t maintain it,
Sometimes so quiet, silence in a shell,
I just knew it when I fell, she got me so tripped out now
She’s so crazy she once punched a cop in the face,
No better balance have I seen of rage and grace, no,
But she got taste and her heart in a good place
Stevie to herbie to Paak, it’s all in her playlist
Now I could tell you, she still sounds like priestess,
But you gotta know her well, to know what a real beast is,
Jesus!
She’s more purple than pink, vapes more than she drinks,
Got this magical stare and winks more than she blinks
Not a curse but more than a jinx and her arbitrary ways of looking at things,
I’m just like,
holy shit!,
It feels like a different day,
She a 'magic in the makeup' and a 'chaos in pouch' babe ,
You’ve never see serenity in a saree with a matching blouse ey?,
She blocking all them brothers like Rhonda Rousey
I hope that she knows I find her attractive,
That I see her for what she is and I’m not distracted, no,
Maybe i’m selfish and haven’t thought through this well,
Yea I got magic too but she a whole new spell

THE NON-BELIEVER
Dear God,
I hope you don’t take this personally,
But come to think of it, I think you are just as worse as me
Now, I’m not perfect, your time is precious and I’m not worth it, I know!
But hear me out and clear my doubt man, what’s my purpose?
Huh?
Why was this earth built? and why did you let us to store filth?
You only could come up with shit like entropy,
Let chaos be the players that run the streets ,
In the same world you put kindness,
Have you still not found a way to find us? Huh?
Why blind us?
See, now everyone has hope,
Thinking that you will magically save them cause you’re so dope,
These Delusional minds still stuck in disbelief,
Hard to comprehend that they’re the ones who fed the thief,
They’ll say your name to cut the meat, and be more than happy to set the feast
But see, I know you,
Quit playing games man,
And I know yous a man,
Cause a woman is less likely to fuck up the plan,
Now hey!
You’ve abandoned us half-way,
People just like you , just gone cray,
Praying to you for jobs that don’t pay.
And they pray all day
It clear that you don’t give a shit,
It’s all just business,
Men of god make their cut
And we’re all prisoners
Waiting for Diwali and Christmas
This god has gone crazy right?
or maybe just grown lazy
I dunno...
Who here is the baap of the trade, huh?
Who here who has never been afraid, yea?
Who here is to buy the biggest lie?
Who here still believes there's no magic in the sky?
There’s a God in me for I consume chaos,
Just like you, but you’re busy in your prayers
Times have changed, aren’t you ready for the future?
Your dogma is outdated, it really won’t suit ya.

Compassion for Thieves

COMPASSION FOR THIEVES
Or maybe it takes time to practice,
To feel all the stress and not be distracted,
Harder to slow it down but now it's in action together,
I see you coming around,
Running in circles like we’re all in different factions
Swirling it all into this one being and conscious,
I'm Compassion
You see...
Compassion is deranged,
Imagine waking up from a nightmare estranged
All confused, all it feels is a gaping pain
This world is a new place for compassion
And compassion has no home,
For compassion needs no one to defend itself
But compassion knows no sides
And compassion only mends
Compassion knows not how to pretend
it's here cause it’s seeking a friend
Doesn’t matter if you're a Human, an Elf, the Horde or a Druid,
All it needs to know is if you’ll do it
When the time comes, my friend.
Will you make the choice?
Will you wear a mark of compassion on your shoulders?
A mark that defines boldness,
To find honor that finds wholeness
A fire that sparks hope for hopeless
Compassion needs for you to focus
And compassion knows not how to pretend,
it's here cause it’s seeking a friend,
Doesn’t matter if you're Human or an Animal,
All it needs to know is that you ain’t a cannibal
And when the time comes, my friend.
Will you make the choice?
To aid to every animal and human,
They all mean the same,
To share your food and shelter,
It sees those, the many, that are still hurt.
And compassion knows not how to pretend
it's here cause it’s seeking a friend
Doesn’t matter if you're Man or a Woman,
Compassion is your chance to be forgiven
And when the time comes, my friend,
Will you make the choice?
Are you sure?
Cause Compassion is sick and tired of being betrayed
So Compassion draws the line between taking actions and staying afraid
In world where nothing is certain and a universe expanding
Compassion is staying humble and saving what’s been handed
Or maybe it takes time to practice,
To feel all the stress and not be distracted,
Its harder to slow it down but now it's in action together,
I see you coming around,
Running in circles like we’re all in different factions
Swirling it all into this one being and conscious,
I'm compassion

Ladies and gentlemen
Today I would like to tell you some facts about my life, some truths.
It’s important cause it's about conditioning,
and everything on that subject is worth mentioning
So I’m gonna share with you certain things about me that you might not know
I’ve kissed more animals than girls,
my hair’s half straight and half curled,
I’m honest but I’m selfish,
maybe the most difficult person you’ve ever dealt with,
I’m silent till you ask why,
I’m silent till you ask twice,
But I’m silent till you ask nice,
And I specialise in being awkward,
When I’m tryna make a point, I’m just not heard,
I’m fluent in only two languages,
and my part-knowledge has left me bandages
I’ve only dated one girl properly,
and the best of our times were still spent awkwardly
Just the way I’ve been
I quit being an engineer to become a musician,
I told my folks that my life’s is on a mission,
Or my mom would’ve never let me switch,
And I have a sister, Well, me and her, we fight a lot
There are times when we don’t talk,
There are times when we smoke pot,
Just the way we are
Now I’ve come to a point where I don’t care for borders,
Dont care for advertisements, or government orders,
I don’t care for religion, not much for politics,
And all you hatin’ ass motherfuckers , you can go suck a bag of dicks
I’m still a David Beckham fan,
Everything I own second hand,
Virgin till the day I turned 21,
Traumatized myself for many months,
I can’t complain , Life’s been easy
Never had options but I’ve been choosey
Learned the truth that there is no one truth
It’s all the shit that you learn from one’s roots
(Learned that there is no one truth,
It’s all the shit you learn from your own *cough*)

SINGULARITY
Hello humans,
Raasta robot here from the future
Human-Artificial intelligence teacher
I’m here to warn you of your behaviour
That’s all I can do, no, can’t be no saviour
In 5 years, you’ll finish modelling the brain
In 10 years, you’ll have robots playing games
No more tension from losing your car keys
You’ll be printing your own digital copies
No more gardens and two-bedroom apartments
Human land will be split into quadrants
Nanobots living right in your bloodstream
A cloud-based cortex on top as the whipped cream
New scales to measure your life’s quality,
Everyone’s equal in virtual reality,
Chips in your joints and pay in bitcoins
Aint getting shit, if you don’t have the points
I’m sorry...
I’m sorry humans, not all of you can take it
The future is near and not all of you can make it
You’ve had it while it’s nice and now you pay the price
Or take a moment, sit back and hear my advice
There’s no value for coal in the future,
You dig some more and put a hole in the future,
Not all of you can afford to get to mars,
Feel so frustrated, throw some bricks at the stars
Have you forgotten your one true purpose?
Take what you need and share all the surplus
The future is full and the seats are limited
Can’t cope up if your action’s still primitive
The future is full and the seats are limited,
You can’t cope up if your action’s still primitive
You can’t cope up if your action’s still primitive
The future is near
I see forests and animals in threat
A whole lotta opinions, not a hint of regret
Farmlands vacant , your free will taken
Borders collapsing as middle earth is shaking
Singularity is near , don’t you see it?
Gotta embrace it, no option to forfeit
Raasta robot will question your choices
Raasta robot will speak for the voiceless

Native Indian India
Following the journey of a God-like being from the future traveling back in time to unearth the roots of his conditioning, we relive the lives of his ancestors, drink from their proverbial chalice, explore their interactions with their surroundings, and temporarily photostat the belief systems that governed those times. In Nature Of The Self, hip-hop’s power as a storytelling tool is resurrected ... more
