We get like a drumbeat from a old soul record per se
And then like, you know, find a loop to work over top that complements that particular breakbeat
And (sounds natural)
And then you know
Just vibe, just vibe
Just vibe, just vibe
You rocking with Sono and Five (Who you rocking with?)
You rocking with Sono and Five (That's right)
Just vibe, just vibe (Just vibe)
Just vibe (just vibe), just vibe (just vibe)
Yu deh ya wid Sono and Five (Who yu deh ya wid?)
Yu deh ya wid Sono and Five (Let's go)
Yow (Just vibe)
Don't let life get to you (Uh uh)
To keep balance, I do the mic check voodoo
Where would I be without this music?
I have to pursue it, because I'm too sick (Sick)
This is God given, I can't bury the talents
Keep going, no matter how heavy the challenge
Look how far that I've come (Just look)
I've been spitting these bars like a gun
About more than about a car or the funds
If I'm not a star, I'm the sun (Yeah)
Reach into the jar for some buds
You can only be in the par if it's love (One love)
You get close if your energy right
If she by my side, she definitely my type
In my cypher, every verse better be nice
If the lyrics don't hook you, the melody might
Just vibe, just vibe (Just vibe)
Just vibe (just vibe), just vibe (just vibe)
You rocking with Sono and Five (Who you rocking with?)
You rocking with Sono and Five (Who you rocking with?)
Just vibe, just vibe
Just vibe (just vibe), just vibe (Just vibe)
Yu deh ya wid Sono and Five (Who you deh ya wid?)
Yu deh ya wid Sono and Five (Just vibe)
Positive vibrations
For the ancestors, we gotta give libations
I just want to make the family proud
Make some good music people can rap aloud
Touch the listeners on a deeper level
Some of our base our highs on the speaker treble
These tunes can soothe your soul
Or get the place lit (Lit), make you lose control (Yeah)
They say it's like a drug
And if that's the case as it was (Then what?)
When this get played in the club
It will be like you get weight from the plug (Uh)
If you gonna get high, get high to this
The energy in the venue start to rise and lift
Watch me ride the beat like a cyclist
Don't just stream the song, go and buy the disc
Just vibe
Just vibe
Yeah

Him? He was just sitting there and he asked
Excuse me, do you have the time? (Yow, ah wha time right now?)
I told him it's 12:45 and he said...
I'm just trying to complete my life (Yeah)
That means making sure all my deeds are right
The times I did wrong, God will understand (He'll understand)
I swear, hand on the Bible like I'm on the stand
Been a victim of my pride as a humble man
Before every new year, you have months to plan
So the next should be better than the last
Even though times dreader than the Ras (Jah know)
Temptation lurk at every corner
For me, it's just the pussy and the marijuana (Yeah)
But even there, many men gone astray
Sometimes, it's the hardest move to walk away
Like you planned a vacay but got a shorter stay
You can't do the wrong thing for all your days
Sometimes, it feel that we lost our faith
Guess you might as well call on the Lord and pray
Sometimes, it feel that we lost our faith (So you have to do what?)
You hafta call on the Lord and pray
If you feel that you lost your faith (You hafta pray)
You hafta call on the Lord and pray
Yow, yow
This is my life now
Everything I feel, I write down
Get my thoughts clear like how my mic sound
Watching everything coming right round
Yeah, this is my life now
Everything I feel, I write down
Get my thoughts clear like how my mic sound
Watching everything coming right round
Yeah, this is my life now
This is my life now
Yow yow
This is the life I'm living
Driven on my mission with purpose and vision (Uh huh)
To reach you through the words that you listen
Many are called but never heard a decision
I followed a path, showed my brothers the craft
Rose through the ranks to the top of the class (Top)
Faced many tests and still gotten a pass (I made it)
Gained respect but not a lotta the cash
So it's time to get the money up (Let's get it)
I ain't no joke, none of the funny stuff
I wonder how many friends gonna come with us (I wonder)
It's been hard work, some think it's sudden luck (But it's not)
This is the success we prayed for
For a piece of this, we wage war (Yes)
Thanks is all I can say, Lord (Give thanks)
Thanks is all I can say, Lord
(Give thanks)
Yeah, this is my life now
Everything I feel, I write down
Get my thoughts clear like how my mic sound
Watching everything coming right round
Yeah, this is my life now
Everything I feel, I write down
Get my thoughts clear like how my mic sound
Watching everything coming right round
Yow yow, this is my life now
Everything I feel, I write down
Get my thoughts clear like how my mic sound
Watching everything coming right round
Yeah, this is my life now
Everything I feel, I write down
Get my thoughts clear like how my mic sound
Watching everything coming right round

Uh
Sono
Let's go
Uh
I'm putting money in the bank for savings
Climbing up the ranks, I put the time in raging
You only fail when you don't try, turn the pages
I'ma live through these beats and these rhymes for ages
I been crafty with mine like mages
The struggle and the sunshine, we go through phases
No psychadelics, this art I paint for you is like a relic
This that high art so I just gotta sell it
You feel me? I swear that they don't know the real me
Take the time to get to know me, maybe you'll feel me
Any obstacles, I gotta hop it
I'm low key the hot topic, let's get it popping
I keep it solid to this day like Deonte
It's my time if you can see what all the signs say
I don't play, if you don't help me, I'ma find my own way (My own way)
I get it, to sort out the stone way
I don't play, if you don't help me, I'ma find my own way (My own way)
I get it, to sort out the stone way
I don't play, if you don't help me, I'ma find my own way (My own way)
I get it, to sort out the stone way
(Go)
Follow my dreams and aspirations, I ain't into wasting (Uh uh)
Good comes to those who wait and I been waiting patient
Stay in line, keep the money in accumulation
I'm kicking my feet up tight in rejuvenation (Yeah)
Can't fuck with these sucker niggaz 'cause they be hating (They haters)
Stay in my own lane, can't beat me in my own game (Nah)
They know the name in this wicked city (Yeah)
Leave how I came, ain't no claim to fame
I just be getting busy, really
It's the magnificent man
And I'm vicious over beats when the mic is in hand
Blam! Get tag toed
Rising to the helm and it flag fold
The god stay in getting the bag mode
Whoa, Fahim stay on the dean
We praise the supreme, saying Amin
Have faith in my dream, hate in my scene
Find a way in between taking my team
They try breaking my steam, but I been running
Like a locomotive, calm dude, but I'm so explosive
When you see me silent, then you know I'm focused
Militant, roll dolo or roll with soldiers
Stay organized, that's how we all will rise
Keep the future looking bright like the morning sky
They said it's impossible, that's what I call a lie
You waiting on yourself or for the Lord arrive? (Huh?)
I think inside, we all have greatness
But I seen some of the best become complacent
And their days went, their talent wasted
With discipline and persistence, you will make it (Make it)
But never ever think that you owed a thing (Don't)
It takes more to be a superstar than know to sing
It's funny how everybody want the clothes and bling
Their friend get rich, they wanna roll wid him
I'm trying to get my own money
Wipe my tears wid it, use it when my nose runny
I kick it in, they don't open the door for me (Kick in the door)
I'm pretty sure it's going to get so ugly
Yes, I'm coming for mine, whether running a rhyme
Or staging the whole show, I got the dope flow
Sono chop samples like in the dojo
New generation boom bap with an old soul (Feel it)
We make the music that will touch your heart
Spill my guts like a Dutch that you buss apart
I wanna crush rappers before I crush the charts
At least ten years in and this is just the start
This is just the start
I'ma find my own way

Just like suh Mister Tee, yu nuh fi gwaan suh, I man just come fi beg yu a likkle job
Yu can do operating work, sir?
(Yu can do operating work?)
Right now, I cyaa operate, but I will cooperate
(Yow, we can do anyting)
(Yu zeet)
Alright. I going show yu. See di bass bud here. Forward di bass.
Forward di bass
Yow yow
I par wid pot smokers, top growers
That meet their crop quota, sensi, not coca
Leave the scene steaming like it's hot mocha
We got sober, visits to stock brokers
The block soldiers say we a lot doper
This the music Glock toters fire shots over
More rounds than the days in October
My gang, I ran like the Ayatollah
I write ebola, I shine 'cause my light is solar
My suns do kung fu, you can't fight wit yoga
Never hit it if it got the Pisces odour
I'm Nasty as Esco and nice as Hova (Hov)
Fuck the right exposure, send my prices over
Catch flights, I'm packing like a licensed holder
Crowds' hands in the air like a heist, a hold up
Spitting punches, I make Tyson fold up
Take 'em to school like Five Star folders
Wake up and smell the Folgers, I never seen a holster
My dawg left his shit in the car if not the waist
He beat the case, left without a trace
Set the pace, so sick, I’ll tell you how the meds taste
Watch my sales eclipse the US Corona death rate
We legislate, dem ah group up and investigate
How I gain success, whips and homes by the lake
While we was out, you spent holidays in church
When I was broke, I had to do Operating Work
You let them lie to you, sit and pray for an outcome
I spit life facts, so now they hating the album
Cause the truth hurts, it’s just too much
Blast at the Ku Klux, dig up ten graves, dress 'em in blue tux
Dem nuh ready fi the onslaught
Council of the Gods on charts score board four naught, pussy claat
Elite architect of street projects
My flow is a unique process wid each concept
Unidentified flying object, I'm leap frogging
Speak toxins in Logic if the beat locked in
This nigga weak, why they reaching like he's top ten (Why?)
Complete nonsense, my defense delete options
So, if dem violate like 24 seconds
It's gettin more hectic, out the Heckler or Desert
Bless the raw record with respect for core ethics (Whoo)
Percentage off a sentence, then it's best to talk leverage
Like Volkswagen in Aventador's presence
Niggaz insecure when they get the horse revving
If I stay charged up, is it better for a Tesla?
Never ketch the God stressing offa lesser orchestra (Never)
Diamond testers in the lecture cost extra
When I drop a gem and then finesse the lost treasure (Uh huh)
Governments bless the bomb before they're sent.
This happens from the top down... the Government down... this is our answer.
Makes me realize the solution may have to come from the bottom up.
Is anyone working on a bomb that will make people love you?
Maybe a Cupid bomb?
I believe we already have it and it's called music.
And every country has their own version of it.
And it works. It brings people together. You don't have to know a thing about it to get it.
It's a language. It's a lifestyle. And it can save the world.
I'm a musician and I hope you will join me on the battlefield. Thank you.

Real heads think it's wack how you figures move (Garbage)
Everybody know I black when I hit the booth (Yeah)
Kingston on my back and it's the truth (JA)

Yow, yow
He used to get it off the boat on the Panama coast
Not a rapper but his whole catalogue dope (Dope)
For almost twenty years, he trafficked raw coke (Yeah)
Till tragedy hit his family and had 'em all ghost
To cope, every day, he need an Adderal dose
He never ratted or told when his back's to the ropes (Uh uh)
He always knew he need cash for his growth
The family breadwinner, the last of the hopes
His mother cried when his brother died
Can't run and hide or let sum'n slide (Uh)
So he gonna ride on the other side (Yeaah)
They had beef for cutting ties when he just arrived
Now, the time is here for him to end it all (The time is now)
Thought he could take them out without his men involved
This the type of war that should be avoided (Watch it)
He been moving in silence, no need for noises
You don't wanna, you don't wanna go there
If the war is lost, you're found nowhere (Nowhere)
When it's on, never show no fear
Real killers might cry but they don't care
You don't wanna, you don't wanna go there
If the war is lost, you're found nowhere
When it's on, never show no fear
Real killers might cry but they don't care
Max, he was the soldier, dipped from the UK
He a legend, he made more than a few spray
Took the cops on with the Glock drawn
At the top of dawn, on the run, marathon
Prison officers called him a cannonball (Reckless)
Back home, he leads the whole entourage (Boss)
Quick to tell anybody 'bout dem bumboclaat (Suck yu mada!)
Cause him gun so tall and he done it all
From way back in juvie, him did run the hall (Way back)
Now he's a top hitter, getting tons of calls
Freelance but one don him tek orders from (Who dat?)
That's the OG that first bought his gun
The instructions were given, it was rhythm (Uh huh)
The irony, making a living off killing (For real)
Anybody can link him if they willing (Yeah)

You don't wanna, you don't wanna go there (Uh uh)

You don't wanna, you don't wanna go there
If the war is lost, you're found nowhere (Nowhere)
When it's on, never show no fear
Real killers might cry but they don't care
Max put the work in, broad daylight or he snipe
Through the curtain, right now, he lurking
Recon, researching, moving with insurgents
Automatic weaponry, all the latest versions
Full accessories, a military purchase
Strike few times, the crew scared to surface (Scared)
Sent his sister wid di shotty under her dress
Buckshot lef everybody on the curb wet
They rob the stash house, found kilos
Dropped it off for OG, he said he don't need those (Wha mi a do wid dat?)
Son, I move tons, that's like three O's
Just get the job done till they're zero
The rest escaped, they move out the city
Max became the muscle for the new committee
Police investigating incidents (Yeah)
Bodies, no teeth, no fingerprints (Uh uh)
You don't wanna, you don't wanna go there
If the war is lost, you're found nowhere

Ah long time di Rasta man did have a name for this dirty place (Babylon!)
Babylon dem nuh deserve nuh praise (Nah)
Dem bun ah fire pon yu when yu having fun and find a girl to chase (Fyah)
You get too close and I'ma burn your face (Uh)
The blazing spliff has been ignited, step back until you earn your space (Light it up)
See, nowadays, politicians only power chase
Kicking back in their mansions while they devour grapes (Trust)
Empty promises of equal justice
Got the feelings of the lower and second class on the cuspis (What we doing?)
Of doing sutt'n drastic, you know the tactics
Riot and loot from the store, gimmie dat, bitch (Gimme dat)
He saw the window and smashed it (ah), didn’t have any money
On his plastic, became an opportunist and backed it
Evidence that society’s backwards is everywhere
The future is still there but it’s never clear (Wha, wha, wha)
So grim, we wonder if God was ever here
We have to walk through the valley of darkness and be never scared (End of days)
The end is near or so they say
I know they play with the emotions of believers who hope and pray (Why)
For better days and nights full of sleep
Stressed out husbands dealing with wives on the creep
Stressed out wives dealing with husbands that don’t beat (Whoo)
Nuclear corruption in the sheets, it’s deep
These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)

And spark fire, time to blaze up again (Blaze it up)
These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)
We bring light with the wave of the pen (Yeah)
And spark fire, time to blaze up again
As the earth turns, I'm seeing the world burn
Trump make you wish Obama had a third term (Uh huh)
If America sneeze, Jamaica catch cold
Civil unrest, concern for black souls
2020, still fighting white supremacy
In the Caribbean, it's the colonial legacy
System inherited, we never question it
So deep rooted, we grew with the prejudice
You could be a lawyer or an executive (Don't matter)
Still get dissed for your skin and the shade it is
White lady call the cops on my cousin and her son (Wha dat fa?)
They stood they ground 'cause they wasn't in the wrong (They wasn't)
We need change, sooner than later
Progress needs to be the news in the paper
My ancestors never cruise to Jamaica (They didn't)
At no point did we choose to be labour (We didn't)
I'm taking it back to the slave revolts
Buss di master head wid di chain and bolt (Yu hear dat?)
However we have to get our freedom
Cause it's a must, there's no better reason
These the last days on the ends (Last days)
Protect your family and pray for your friends (Hafta pray)
We bring light with the wave of the pen
And spark fire, time to blaze up again (Blaze it up)
These the last days on the ends
Protect your family and pray for your friends
The wave of the pen
Time to blaze up again

Life has its ups and downs
You have to take the good with the bad, y'know
Listen
Just another day, felt I could run away
But no matter what I say, I'm still gonna stay (I'm still here)
On the grind, nine to five, I rhyme part time
Legal living, thinking I should start crime (But that's not me)
Because the money too slow, I need to advance (Yeah)
Plus I have rap plans, the god has fans (Uh)
I need to deliver my piece of the picture
Classic work, never release any filler (Uh uh)
Monkey see, monkey do, I be a gorilla
Kick the dopest rhymes and my sneakers is iller (Ill)
In the underground, Steez is a beacon, a pillar
But I can't be found, at a beach or a villa (Yeah)
The type of setting that will ease my mind
Any city in the world, the best trees I find (Smoke)
I meditate and try to read the signs
Cause we can hear the deaf and we can see the blind (Yeah)
Ayo, it's all in the game
Life can't stay the same, hafta be the change
Day and night, sunshine and rain
Joy and pain, we go from where we came
Ayo, it's all in the game
Life can't stay the same, hafta be the change
Day and night, sunshine and rain (Yeah)
Joy and pain, we go from where we came (Here we go)
And the cycle continues
My life full of song titles and venues
Also meetings and reports, have me leaving through the door
After the weekend, I need more
Might have had a great event, Saturday came and went
Now, it's back to what we have to do to pay the rent (Slaving)
Things taking time, have to be patient
Greatness in the making, I'm actually waiting (Yeah)
Plans manifesting, life have me stressing (Jah know)
Opportunity knocking, I have to grab these blessings (Yes)
I'm using my gift, fulfilling my duty (Yes)
Praise Jah, she was willing to choose me (God bless)
OGs reach out, say you killing it truly
I been a star and I'm still in the movie (I'm here)
Ayo, it's all in the game
Life can't stay the same, hafta be the change
Day and night, sunshine and rain
Joy and pain, we go from where we came
Ayo, it's all in the game
Life can't stay the same, hafta be the change
Day and night, sunshine and rain
Joy and pain, we go from where we came

Don't be a lame
Stay in your lane
I said it's all in the game
Ayo, you hafta use your brain
Ayo, don't be a lame
Make sure you stay in your lane
Ayo, it's all in the game
I'm just trying to make a name
I'm not trying to take the blame
Getting paper is the aim
I said it's all in the game
The people calling my name
I hear the people calling my name
Cause I been spitting these balls of the flames
Ayo, it's all in the game
Like EA, all in the game
It's all in the game

Out of My Life

I'm getting tired, babe (Tired)
Of wasting my love on you
Yeah
Listen
Yow, yow
You and I, not to be together
It's for now, it's not to be forever
I don't know what I was thinking
when we started linking, musta been between women
Now, it's time for us to move on
We started real hot, now, it's luke warm
I met a new girl I won't do wrong
She blew me away like a true storm
Now, here's sum'n that feels permanent
Unlike the jump offs, I just call and circle dem
They need to bring more to the table
Full of stress, stories and fables
Want money for the phone or the cable
I can't see you in a home that is stable
And it might've been my mistake
I went ahead and ended up in this place
Such a disgrace, it shoulda been one night
It turned to many 'cause it was fun, right?
It wasn't meant to last, now, it's run its course
But feel no way because it wasn't forced
It is what it was, lust, not love
That's why I always thrust in the glove
I tried to help you grow but you didn't hear me
Just remember I treated you fairly
I'm getting tired, babe (Tired)
Of wasting my love on you

Sugar & Spice

But I can tell by looking at you
That you need something more
When I, when I see you, baby
It's like every time I see you (Oh, baby, please)
When I, when I see you, baby
I remember the first time I saw you
And I can't get that day out of my head (Oh, baby, please)
Yow
I met her downtown at the artwalk
Caught my eye so I shot my darts off
Heard her sweet voice, smart talk
She was sugar and spice, part sauce (Whoo)
I swear I'm a G but my heart soft
Had to escort her to the car park
Asked to see her again, she start laugh
It must be fate that our paths cross
It's like she was taken from my rib
I could see us raising babies in the crib (I see it)
It's surreal 'cause I feel she my soulmate
One that could be with me till old age (Yeah)
With her, I feel I could spend the whole day
I can't get her off my mind, there's no way
The beat play while I lay and process this
And acknowledge it like a psychologist
We just started talking, it feels so right
Up until this moment, I had no wife
I might be excited, thinking in the future
But I know she's one I'd say I'd do to
She worth it, so perfect, that's why she
In my verses so early in our courtship (Uh huh)
Everything natural, we don't force it
We the new duo and we're a sure hit
You see, I know
I know that this thing that I'm feeling
Sometimes, it gets so strong

Yeaah
(This one is for all the dreamers and all the believers)
Oooh
Heey
(You have no- no- nothing to worry about)
We just wanna be live
Live, Live
Stars in the sky
So bright, you and I
You never know if you don't try
So fly, so high
Stars in the sky (Yow)
So bright, you and I (Listen)
Yow
Mi ah guh mek unnu know now
Don't think 'cause ah Covid we slow down (Uh uh)
When it's over, I need to tour round
Just let me know 'bout your town (Weh unu deh?)
Come through with the live show
Off the hydro, spitting that pyro
As the time go, I just lie low
Hold a meds by myself with my eyes closed
Out by the beach, facing the horizon
The perks of Jamaica, the island (Yard ting)
It's not just a dangerous environment
Be good and you safe from the violence
Still, there's days full of sirens
Still, the children play till they're tiring
All these images I paint when I'm rhyming
It's this way till God may arrive in
We just wanna be live
Live, Live
Stars in the sky
So bright, you and I
You never know if you don't try
So fly, so high
Stars in the sky
So bright, you and I
Yow
Live now 'cause no day is promised (Uh uh)
We stand tall as long as we staying honest (Stand tall)
Accomplished but remaining modest
For my presence, you pay deposits
Electronic or another way to lodge it
I spent ten years making projects
Now, my business will raise the profits
Based off love and sharing knowledge
I told this young girl stay in college
Few months, you graduate, you solid
Get the raise, get the papes, you copping
New whip, custom plates, you rocking
Stay in JA or migrate ah foreign
I'll stay 'cause it's my place I'm locking
I'm underground, some would say I'm popping
I'm dope, I did it my way, my pockets
We just wanna be live
Live, Live (We just wanna be)
Stars in the sky
So bright, you and I (So bright)
You never know if you don't try (You never know)
So fly, so high
Stars in the sky
So bright (So bright), you and I (You and I)
Yeah
It's been quite a journey (We just wanna be)
You could say it's been a long time (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But the way I look at it, it's all about timing (Oh oh oh)
And everything is shaping up as it should be (Ooohhh)
So let's get it (Yeah)
We just wanna be live
Oh oohhh
Bright in the sky, so bright
So bright
You and I
Oh Oohhh
Five Steez
Shanique Marie
Oh yeah
Ooooohhhhh
Oh Ohhhhh
(You have no- no- nothing to worry about)

Mother
by Cleo Sol
supported by 4 fans who also own “Quietude”
My album of the year (2021). I first listened to this while driving from Brooklyn to New Jersey via the Verrazano Bridge through Staten Island, and it transformed that journey through the white wilds into one of picturesque beauty. I don't know how Cleo Sol did that, but she lightened my heart with the shafts of sunlight from her soul.
