[Verse 1: Cee]
Uh, eh yo ma spark another one,
We might as well, we only living once,
And we were born to only end up in the dust again,
We feelin' how we feelin' so it's crazy if we just be friends,
Let's hit the Chi for Valentine's,
Strolling down the Mile for miles, with your hand in mine,
I'm tryina let 'em know, be the opposite of clandestine,
And every time I look at you, I still think 'damn you fine',
Honey, I wanna get high with you while we building on our future,
And our business which I know we finna turn into a fortune,
A winery in Italy, a brewery in Quebec,
With the crib out in Jamaica, ma I'm vibed to see what happens next,
So pour a glass of red, we celebratin',
Because life is what you make it and baby, look at what we created,
Time is finite and I ain't tryina miss a thing,
And we were born to die right, so we about to get it in
[Verse: Lana Del Rey]
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
All my heart, it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping that the gates,
They'll tell me that you're mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on a Friday night
Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you're mine
It's like I told you honey
[Hook: Lana Del Rey]
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die
[Verse: Lana Del Rey]
Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tried to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers, honey
[Hook: Lana Del Rey]
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane

This is the last time
Cause you and I

So let's get to making love, whenever, however you want it
[Lana] We were born to die
[Cee] So just come a little closer,
Lemme whisper something to you
[Hook: Lana Del Rey]
Come and take a walk on the wild side

Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough

[Verse 2: Cee]
Yo you know our time is getting shorter now,
Grab a cookie ma, we oughta bounce,
And I only want the best for us, so check it miss,
Coz I ain't tryina kick regrets, I'm a perfectionist,
And baby we alive, let's make the most of it,
And they can see the sign, maybe we both wanted,
Until my last breath, I'm livin' like an outlaw,

[Verse: Cee]
Lemme be real for a minute,
I'm finally ready to admit it,
You was my heart but I jetted out,
Lemme take a breath so I can spit it out,
I miss you, though I've been frontin' like it ain't the truth,
It was my way of dealing with it when I skated through,
It made it look like I was bitter and I hated you,
When really I was tryina save the pain from abandoning roots,
It ain't an easy decision to leave your home,
But I was searching for a bigger opportunity to grow,
Coz I found where I wanna be, now I just gotta be,
Real enough to allow myself to feel some honesty, it was a
[Verse: Chris Martin]
A warning sign
I missed the good part, then I realised
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign
[Hook: Cee & Chris Martin]
[Chris] When the truth is

[Chris] That I miss you so
[Cee] You was my heart but I jetted out, lemme take a breath so I can spit it out
[Post Hook: Cee]
It ain't an easy decision to leave your home,
But I was searching for a bigger opportunity to grow,
Coz I found where I wanna be, now I just gotta be,
Real enough to allow myself to feel some honesty, it was a
[Verse: Chris Martin]
A warning sign
It came back to haunt me, and I realised
That you were an island and I passed you by
And you were an island to discover
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

[Verse 1: Cee]
Man, what happened to music? Dog it ain't the same as it used to,
Be, and the soul squeezed out so there's no meaning now, a shame and it's stupid,
That something so real lost authenticity, pauses shitting me, chorus jittery,
Honest, see they steez, common shitty beats, robot singing? Please, dog you're kidding me,
Uh, where the creativity? I'm just spittin' B, Nosh stay hittin' keys,
Switch on, this'll be, three A triple, Cee, Fam stay killin' beats, soul stay in us, believe
[Verse 2: Notion]
It's like the airwaves bleed dog, the selling garbage to us like it never seemed wrong,
Play the same 14 songs 4 times a day, it's bullshit, but they call 'em the theme song,
Or the anthem, (yo) but if you ask me, it's a distraction,
Dumbing down lyrics, spittin' subliminal messages so you can't hear it, gross images to gauge a reaction,
Pop tracks, non-sensical bullshit, a pure formula, leave the audience clueless,
But stick with me, I'll bring some fresh & some new-ness, Nosh, Cee, TMF, on some new shit.. uh…
[Verse: Gotye}
When the Cotillion arrived
We threw out the television
Model D 575
Has custom flute presets
And Harmony-Plus in addition
Now for an arm and a leg
We get three half-dozen beats to choose from
So now we can pretend
That there's an orchestra in the loungeroom
[Verse 3: Cee]
OK, yeah, and it is that simple, long before MySpace hits dude,
M-Box, Pro-Tools, laptop vocals, T-Pain, autotune, it's a new world
[Verse 4: Notion]
Accessible mobile studios, you can be "pro" even though you a newbie tho,
Drop it on TuneCore, surrounded by groupie hoes, digital, welcome to the new world, aahhh!
[Verse: Gotye]
I put the Genie Bass on
So my left hand can play the choir
With 16ft Diapason
And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer
Banjo's great on repeat
The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient
The wife can't help tapping her feet
It's a genuine home entertainment revelation
[Hook: Gotye]
State, state, state, state of the art
(State of the art)
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
(Listen to the difference!)
State, state, state, state of the art
(By use of a computer)
(Oh my God, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
[Verse 5: Cee]
Oh fantastic, everyone I know's a producer, a rapper, the next grand master,
Arrogant bastards that never puttin' in real work but a tweet, they a spammer,
This damn state of the art done made it too easy for 'em, they don't appreciate the hustle,
Removed all the barriers to entry, now all we seeing is some Weezy clones, it's boring
[Verse 6: Notion]
Everybody got a Mac now, WWE'in' the booth, laying smack down,
They on E or on crack now, & you pressed a couple buttons & you happy with your wack sound,
So you call that a track now? Wearing two chains dog, and you sport a red rag now?
It's TMF in this bitch, & I paint you the picture, read you the scriptures, so back down
[Bridge]
[Verse: Gotye]
Now we don't want to go out
When we could spend the night at home with the Cotillion
Invite the neighbours around
Start the bossanova beat and limbo from the living to the kitchen
Enjoy the state of the art
The Magic Swing Piano really is astounding
Now we can't tell them apart
But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing
[Hook: Gotye]
State, state, state, state of the art
(State of the art)
(Hold the phone, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
(Computer controlled tone colour)
State, state, state, state of the art
(The marriage of music to computers is quite natural)
(Oh my God, it's so)
State, state, state, state of the art
(It is time to hear the results)
[Verse 7: Cee]
So this is how it sounds when it's done right, some of y'all need to take some notes and shit,
And if you finna get down with us one time, ya better hit us with the goods or choke a dick
[Gotye] Hold the phone, it's so
[Verse 8: Notion]
Sounds smooth in your ear when we make a hit, when you roll a doob quick, and you take a hit,
Yo we got big dreams, & we chasin' it, TMF worldwide, just raise your fist
[Verse 9: Cee]
Yeah, all we want is y'all to vibe to it, overstand and feel what we saying when we rhyme to it,
We just tryina to bring the real through live music, oh my god, it's on
[Gotye] Oh my god, it's so
[Verse 10: Notion]
Yeah, like it was from the get-go, me and Cee two of a kind, like an echo,
It's plain from the heart, with this state of the art, gonna make a new start, never tearing apart nope!

[Verse 1: Cee]
Yeah, I got a feeling that my lady, she ain't actin' proper lately,
Man she wildin' and she crazy,
But that just ain't like her, she cool and she logical,
Something ain't right and I dunno what the fuck she tryina do,
I'm being staunch but that seems to make her want me more,
And I don't wanna speak the name of what is going on,
She gotta tell me herself, and then it's come what may,
And if you ask her what the fuck the deal, I think she'll say
[Verse: Fiona Apple]
I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin
[Hook: Fiona Apple]
What I need is a good defense
Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
[Verse 2: Cee]
I stay staunch but that seems to make her want me more,
I still ain't wanna speak the name of what is going on,
She gotta tell me herself, and then it's come what may,
And if you ask her what the fuck the deal, she'll keep on sayin'
[Verse: Fiona Apple]
Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
At hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come
Oh help me but don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till I'm good
Enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm
Bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin
[Hook: Fiona Apple]
[Bridge: Fiona Apple]
Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know
[Hook: Fiona Apple]x2
[Verse 3: Cee]
Bitch, you fuckin' with the wrong guy,
And I'm hearing that you sorry, what a fuckin' lie,
I know your games and I ain't' bout to play along with 'em,
Be a woman and admit it, or I'm gone, dippin',
And even if nothing happened, then why you actin' strange?
You turning up at the crib after you gone for days,
With no texts, no calls, no tweets,
No emails, no Facebook posts or Instagram flicks,
So where the fuck has you been at?
You say I treat you like a criminal but damn, what else you expect, man?
I'm a faithful dude, I'm cool and patient too,
And now I'm thinking about it, I'm fuckin' great to you,
So what the deal, ma? Talking 'bout I'm delicate,
Nah boo, I'm just allergic to bullshit,
And I believe it's only fair I put up with a little bit,
But this shit is ridiculous, chick you best be talking quick,
OK, so you showing remorse,
And that's a good start, to fix this it's finna take a lot more,
Saying you sinning and was tempted into fucking up,
It only goes to show that you never really believed in us,
And now you want another chance to make amends,
And repair the tattered frame of this relationship before we dead it,
But over here it ain't the same and wouldn't I regret it,
If I didn't hear you out? Shit I think it all depends,
You need to be redeemed to feel intact again,
And that it ain't your fault that you attracting men,
I hate it that you know my fuckin' rapper friends,
And every cat that hollers is smug when you smiling back at them,
Listen, I'm tryina make this work,
But you gotta give me something coz straight up, shit hurts,
And I ain't about to get up in some arguments and start some shit,
I just want some peace and to be happy with the broad I'm with,
It's your call ma, you ain't on trial,
Fuck a lawyer, fuck a witness, it's just us right now,
And I don't wanna be the judge but I'mma stay mad thorough,
I'mma loosen up my belt, you been a bad, bad girl

[Verse: Cee]
Yeah, I take a walk through the Old Port,
And see my new home through wide eyes and the view's gorgeous,
I move forward, the third city my roots adorning,
I have a feeling it'll be inspiring more than a smooth chorus,
The language barrier's an issue but we punching through it,
Bientôt nous allons parler Québécois, dog it's nothing to me,
Now that Bekah's gone, the music's up to Nosh and I,
I'm broke inside coz now my only bro ain't rolling closer by,
And half the Fam back home, I hope they happy there,
I miss my crew so much, but that's the way it is,
I made the call and man, I'm never gon' regret it,
Coz I met my wife and now my life is happier than ever,
But although we ain't physically near, dog we spiritually is,
The energy that we affecting is real,
So as I walk on home, I saw a figure through the mist,
And she said her name was Fleur, and that inside of me the Fam lives
[Hook: Cee]
I saw her standing, in her hand, she held a white flower,
She looked me dead in the eye and said 'the night's ours',
'Nevermind if the situation might sour',
No matter where we at, the Fam is staying high powered
I saw her standing, in her hand, she held a white flower,
She looked me dead in the eye and said 'the night's ours',
'Nevermind if the situation might sour',
No matter where we at, the Fam is staying high powered
[Verse: Notion]
Ayo it's summer time, sunset, alone, soaking in the breeze,
Meditatin' with trees, dock side at the Quays,
At Toronto Island, it's calm out but im wildin',
Coz lately the Fam's paths have taken different alignments,
It's cold in the hot air, I feel like shit is not fair,
Bekah's dipped, & Cee's leaving but we just got here,
Ayo… whats happening right now to my family,
Breaching insanity but, ayo.. I'm happily chugging along,
Mixing, mastering songs, just to keep it goin',
Ayo my big bro, has dipped from me once before,
And that shit left me broken, and sore, I'm missin' my dog,
Empty and lonely, I just wanna chill with homie,
I know you had to go, and bro I understand,
What doesn't kill us, make's us stronger fam, a realer man,
As I open the door, down the basement stairs,
I shouted out ya name, and realized you wasn't there… then she appeared…
[Hook: Cee]
I saw her standing, in her hand, she held a white flower,
She looked me dead in the eye and said 'the night's ours',
'Nevermind if the situation might sour',
No matter where we at, the Fam is staying high powered
I saw her standing, in her hand, she held a white flower,
She looked me dead in the eye and said 'the night's ours',
'Nevermind if the situation might sour',
No matter where we at, the Fam is staying high powered
[Verse: Tommy Gunnz]
Damn near a couple years but only now the shit is sinking in,
The foundation strong but physically my kin is splintering,
Shit, we all finna win but ambitions are different,
Commitment ain't a given when it's different cities we living in,
So, here comes the winter then, facing this bitter wind,
Thinkin' 'bout 'em dipping's a trip, I'm finna clip my wings,
But Melbourne's my town I chose and I ain't giving in,
Even if they're splittin', we're sticking with it through thick and thin,
See the truth is, I'm damn near useless with this music,
If it weren't for you kids, I wouldn't do shit,
I know it's messed up, it's hard enough to 'fess up,
I tell myself to step up but here comes the same excuses,
They say home is where the heart is, but talk is cheap,
Sometimes you gotta settle where the bigger part is,
Forced to choose between the vision and my own fate,
My second home or home state, Soul Movement or soulmate,
Just when I think I'll never make it through the mist,
I turn around and there she is, there she is
[Hook: Cee]
I saw her standing, in her hand, she held a white flower,
She looked me dead in the eye and said 'the night's ours',
'Nevermind if the situation might sour',
No matter where we at, the Fam is staying high powered
I saw her standing, in her hand, she held a white flower,
She looked me dead in the eye and said 'the night's ours',
'Nevermind if the situation might sour',
No matter where we at, the Fam is staying high powered

[Verse 1: Cee]
The jungle my habitat,
But the shit is plastic, alone with a bad bitch I get it crack-
-in and I wanna get slain like a rabid cat,
Sometimes I like it grimy, alley rat,
Man it really hurts to breathe like I ran a lap,
Betty Crocker and a coffee grinder helped me catch it back,
My dick is getting kinda heavy now, fancy that,
And if they wanna know the real then I answer flat
[Verse: Miike Snow]
I was born into money
And sold down the river
I was choked by the jailor
And fucked the gorilla
I ran through the country ahead of my time
I escaped through a keyhole before they erased me
I married the beetle and learned to be graceful
It's why all this warfare pours out of my eyes
[Hook: Miike Snow]
Now I see just what you mean
It hurts too much to breathe
All alone in this plastic jungle
Sometimes I wanna get slain
I wanna get slain (x6)
I wanna get la la la la la ...
[Verse: Miike Snow]
She told me loved me
I didn't believe her
The son of a junkie is ancient Korean
But don't blame the girl she's out of her mind
[Verse 2: Cee]
Yeah she's out of it, mind bent, power trip,
Eyes met, now I get, time spent, rowdy bitch,
Whatever, I'm about a brunched out pedigree,
Crushed out heavenly, touch down revelry,
Flunk out? Never me, finna get slain hard,
Eyes rolled back, mouth frothing in a train yard,
Gimme a game broad, tape and an 8 ball,
And we gon' have some fun, muhfucka don't be late for it
[Hook: Miike Snow]
[Verse 3: Cee]
Yeah, y'all can quit pretending now, it's OK, we all know. Listen.
Look around man, the shit is so dumb fake,
Everyone concerned about things and what cunts make,
We livin' in a manufactured world of steel,
Dog our left brain is how the fuck we make it real,
And our senses are sensing a schism with a,
System that don't make sense and so we shittin' in it,
The awakening a cometh muhfuckas,
Finna melt this plastic jungle and start again, get it up ya,
That's how I feel when I'm on a beat,
A fuckin' beast with an appetite to carve a niche,
Had a mortgage on dues but I paid em off,
And still I shit on any fuckin' beat I came across,
Yeah, I get high and rep mine,
The jet vibe come from phat rhymes and red wine,
Shiraz of this rap shit, it's Cee, get ya ears open,
I'mma let 'em say it again but it been spoken
Sometimes I wanna get (x2)
Sometimes I wanna get slain
I wanna get slain (x6)
I wanna get la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 4: Cee]
Yo I wanna be high,
Be high, real high,
Son and I wanna stay high,
Stay high, yay high,
Yo I wanna be high,
Be high, real high,
I'm so fucking high right now y'all, I'm so fucking high right oh

[Verse: Mick]
I wanna know the reasons why,
I walk around with my head down,
I point my feet before the cracks,
I want to know now why I'm here
[Cee] I wanna know that, I wanna know that too,
I wanna know that, I wanna know that too,
I need to know that, I need to know that too,
I need to know it
[Mick] Why I'm here
[Verse: Cee]
I don't know why I'm here, and I don't know where I'm headed,
I pay attention, I ain't never forgetting,
So every time that they try and pull another one over us,
The truth is evident, however ominous...
[Verse: Notion]
I promise ya, never steer ya wrong brah, we in it together,
Got something we on ta, the feelin' has never,
Angered me so much, on the verge of terror,
I can't wait that long dog, you say we in it forever? Shit
[Verse: Mick]
I walk around now lost in this confusion,
[Bekah] This confusion
Trying to find out what is this illusion,
I seem to find these questions on my tongue now
[Bekah & Mick] But I don't know how
I want to find out what's locked in my mind now, time will show
[Verse: Cee]
It'll show how far we've come, and how far we got to go,
Put it on my life, we ain't stopping though,
Eyes wide to the evils that mock me, yo,
Watch for em...
[Mick] And then I know
[Verse: Notion]
You don't know what's waitin', so it's scary ain't it?
Don't smear life's picture, it's the way you paint it,
Though the hour's fading, we ain't time wastin',
And making cold hearts, grow warm, in the darkest world, so just...
[Mick]
Wait! I can not,
Wait! I will not,
Wait! I can not,
[Bekah & Mick] I can't wait that long
Wait! I can not,
Wait! I will not,
Wait! I can not,
[Bekah & Mick] I can't wait that long
[Verse: Cee]
Nah I can't wait, I'm impatient,
The world as we know it 'bout to end, just erased and,
They want me to stand here complacent? Fuck that
[Cee & Mick] I can't wait that long
[Verse: Notion]
I ain't a zombie, you can't control me,
Dazed, confused, blamed, abused, don't taunt me,
Rollin' with a mob of muthafuckers, real hungry,
In ya face screamin...
[Notion & Mick] I can't wait that long
[Verse: Bekah]
Tick tock, the hands ain't stoppin',
Your opinions don't mean nothing,
I'll do what I keep doing coz
[Bekah & Mick] I can't wait that long
[Verse: Bekah]
Everybody stand the fuck up,
You gotta take on the world,
It's everyone for themselves,
Ain't nobody gonna help,
It's only up to you,
And the choices you make,
Don't be afraid of what's ahead,
And open your eyes
[Mick] Take a look at me
[Verse: Notion]
And find out, where my mind is now,
We get battered and bruised, it never knocks us round,
You can't lock us down, we break free, got no option pal,
So keep ya eyes peeled
[Mick] Take a look at me
[Verse: Cee]
Go on, have a geez, I'm livin' proof of the tragedy,
It ain't a conspiracy, it's motherfucking reality,
No fallacy, the real omnipotent,
Listen kid if you with it...
[Mick & Cee] Take a look at me
[Verse: Mick]
Take a look at me and then you'll see, right now,
We show collective minds how,
We're shifting space and time around
[Cee] We 'bout to move it what, we gonna shift the sun, we finna shake it up
[Verse: Mick]
Take a breath on three, let's break the mould now,
Hold on to me, we'll go together,
[Mick & Bekah] To meet these questions overhanging and open doors in our mind
[Verse: Mick]
Waiting for the sky to glow,
Waiting,
Waiting for some kind of attention,
I can't find a way,
Waiting for the chance to go,
Waiting,
Know this for all time, it shows, it shows, it will show
[Verse: Notion]
It will show, like a blind man pullin' ya card, & walkin',
Invadin' countries, killin' for sport &,
What's more important? The rise of the businesses?
Or lives of the innocent?
[Mick & Bekah] And then I know
[Verse: Cee]
Yeah, and then I know how the shit goes down,
And they ain't even tryina hide it now,
And it's a new world order they ushering in,
Trust me, we ain't never let them win
[Cee, Mick & Bekah] And then I know
[Verse: Mick]
Open minds make time to realise,
Open eyes reveal the truer lies
[Cee & Notion]
We can wait that long we gotta move it now,
We can't wait that long, it's gotta happen now,
We can't wait that long, nothing can hold us down
[Mick]
Open an eye, it's time to make 'em realise,
Open an eye, it's time to make 'em realise,
Open an eye, it's time to make 'em realise,
[Mick & Bekah] I can't wait that long
[Cee & Notion]
We can wait that long we gotta move it now,
We can't wait that long, it's gotta happen now
[Mick]
Open an eye, it's time to make 'em realise,
I can't wait that long
[Cee & Notion]
We can wait that long we gotta move it now,
We can't wait that long, nothing can hold us down
[Mick & Bekah] I can't wait that long
[Mick] Open an eye, it's time to make 'em realise

[Verse 1: Cee]
Yeah I gotta get back to discovering, not what I have but what's in front of me,
Way beyond what I see currently, I gotta understand what they're covering,
Lately the energy feels troubling, and the eyes can't perceive what we up against,
Everyone I know stay struggling, so it's some positivity we need to summon in,
It's like the sky been plummeting, and it's warm in this bitch, think again when the summer hits,
And we kinda blind but we tryina climb to get rich, never knowing where the summit is,
Motherfuckas need to come again, coz these kids so swift, it finna hit you like a ton of bricks,
So go ahead, tell a couple friends, and peep the Experiment and you'll be sittin' with the sum of it,
You can find a way, feel your spirit engage, no sugar pill can ever take you under this,
I'm feeling wide awake, my vibrations raising and the Matrix can go and suck a fuckin' dick,
I'mma work it on out coz the stakes is high, they done raped our minds, found a way inside,
We were made to fly, and this five sense cell we finna break in time, I hear em hollering
[Hook: Cee]
We in the streets, thousands deep like that's that shit, let em know what we comin' with,
Ignorance ain't strength, war ain't peace, freedom ain't slavery, bitch who they fuckin' wit?
I see a million fists, raised like that's that shit, we reacting as one again,
The illusion fades, the infinite embraced, man the veil erased, the awakening
We in the streets, thousands deep like that's that shit, let em know what we comin' with,
Ignorance ain't strength, war ain't peace, freedom ain't slavery, bitch who they fuckin' wit?
I see a million fists, raised like that's that shit, we reacting as one again,
The illusion fades, the infinite embraced, man the veil erased, the awakening
[Post Hook: Cee]
And we know that it's puzzling, how can so much wrong resonate from a government,
We were slow to discover it, now we stand as a unit and we move with a thunderous,
That's that shit, say what, that's that shit,
Louder, that's that shit, scream, that's that shit
[Verse 2: Cee]
Yeah, we gotta get back to discovering, everything we are, who we was again,
Coz we seem to forget that just being's an event, and the soul that we kept makes it wondrous,
Every minute we living, we should be loving it, but that ain't the message they want to bubble in,
I look down and I see that 'life is but a dream' on my arm so I breathe and I'm calm a bit,
And we need no armoury though, we fight with our minds and the chains, we unlocking them,
Coz we were meant to be free, so I got to believe that the dream ain't in vain so I run with it,
And we gon' work it on out coz the stakes is high, they done raped our minds, found a way inside,
We were made to fly, and this five sense cell we finna break in time, I hear em hollering
[Hook: Cee]
We in the streets, thousands deep like that's that shit, let em know what we comin' with,
Ignorance ain't strength, war ain't peace, freedom ain't slavery, bitch who they fuckin' wit?

That's that shit,
That's that shit,
That's that shit,
Yeah
That's that shit,
That's that shit,
That's that shit,
That's that shit,
Yeah
[Hook: Cee]

This is the third and final volume of a three volume series of mixtapes where I try to do something that I haven't heard anyone else do; rap over indie rock/electro/dubstep/alternative/folk/indie songs, while leaving the original tune intact and integrating my rhymes with the theme of the tracks. This joint has some of my favourite cuts from the whole series. It's been some of the toughtest yet most rewarding music I've ever made. I hope y'all dig it.
