VERSE 1:
Digest the grunge soak down the sponge
Deep to the thick of the rhythm I plunge
I will not float nor sink to the moat
I invoke old flames and burn down the boat
It’s all so simple and yet I’m complex
Hours to begin but just a minute to fresh
I re-pro-duce thoughts to live flesh
When the rhythm goes stale it’s time to refresh
Revamp the muse motivate the views
Rotate the tires and rewire the fuse
Remove no identity create to improve
With beat street audio thus the crush groove
Bust enough move and you can see free
Just to prove you adjust and just be
Trust me > I elevate to rhythms unknown
Planet rock electro ozone
HOOK:
They’ve known the pro-gressions I zone where home lessens
I’m prone to scatter sessions of tones in professions
I’m known to batter clones and hone my own essence
I’ve shown the microphone I’ve grown and own presence
Flash the next sentence in this audible code (now)
This verse dispersed from a volatile mode (how)
To follow me will be the best probable road
For I have no bluff the rest call it or fold
This is not labeled individual resale
Fresh produce new fruits to unveil
It’s a damfam jam from the thirdy3rd rail
Audio vision you touch and see Braille
Shrink wrap bottle nose evidence barcode
Think back all of those reminisce hard road
Long time comin last stretch runnin
Still upon the beaten path fast chest drummin
VERSE 2:
Split second explode - shatter the mold
Articles particles atoms of gold
I am a fathom of soul advanced half of the whole
Conquer the math of all I walk the path I told
Cold war open door the whole map of the globe
Recite satellite sight portal orbital probe
Controlled - self explorable mode
Infinity drift via midi soul code
Behold the headphone broadcast measure
Monitor the audio contrast pleasure
Observing the text vocabs in a tether
Translator reflex hold gabs in together
I mastered the letters forecasted the weather
Way before the peace project casted to nether
There’s no stopping there’s no poppin
There’s no lockin and we stay rockin'

Satellite radio fall to the def

VERSE 1:
Foot prints fossilize granite
Every step that I may take embedded in the planet
I march so you can see the gamut
Outer range telescope satellite commanded
It’s water guzzle down pure
Unadulterated plated puzzle the obscure
The world needs a cure with some fresh produce
Vinyl junkie microphones dungeon plagued sewer
Sound effect check blown headphone wreck
Drum and bass air wave don’t sweat the tech
Redirect the intellect drag analog cassette
Elevated tape deck digi-catalog set
Low tones minor electric diner food
Synthesize earth live thirdy3rd zoo
With a fresh start I must introduce those
Reproduce on satellite radio
HOOK)
VERSE 2:
Blank media to write override brain
Memory won’t exist over time frame
Minimal gigabyte live it right now
Permanent empty file watch it rinse from the main
Frame uncontained a vision full of thought
A handful of nothing proving all of which what you brought
Stained by the rot maintained by the shock
Retain it by the way in of a vein without a shot
The blood runs thick but the water runs dry
Paper thin creative mind tunnel televised
The video is why the radio has died
Not another day of tolerance goes by
The gates swing wide but only one way
And the only reason to keep em live well I got some things to say
Make way the audio has one breath left
Satellite radio fall to the def

Ear drums blown and we’re def with the melody

Refuse to go with no fight
Protest rebel lion jungle unite
My sign my picket my stance my sight
Stop a tank in its tracks with my feet my right
We lose if don’t prove strong
March with the people as a whole move on
My voice my word my verse my song
I Strike till the day that I’m gone Armstrong
And my word reverberates earth
Heard through the mighty audibles of all worth
This shine this time is mine this mind
Fall in line and fossil the dirt and reverse
By all means all spirits reflect
All peaceful poverty and wealthy connect
One life one live one body we step
One love under God - one - respect
(Hook)
I telescope the present from a future state of thought
Illustrated with a frustrated underrated verse
I satellite points in the character of Braille
But they fail to see the way they can touch this earth
They’ve chain linked society so none can get in
Stained glass made of plastic elastic church
Synthetic social classes where none can get out
Suddenly I see the masses amass this burst
There’s not much to say that isn’t already seen
I preach to the choir as I inhale rage
When the reservoir is dry and the levee holds nothin
It’ll crumble from monotony decipher the page
In the method of a stage I speak to be heard
Teach to each beach and reach beyond word
I may preach to the choir but they sing the same tune
It’s the same old song stay tuned its high noon
(HOOK)
I crash with the current currently I meet the shore
Drawn back from reality I have realized my worth
I look into the vastness crash this current
Currently I will get past this and last this earth
I sit in front of sunset in the AM on the west bank
> With twelve hours to kill I feel the strain
> My chest tank empty depressed blank
My beat rhythm less faulted by pain
Drained, exhausted bound to the wedge
Revolution one unhurriedly it spreads
I now have reached my purpose As I dangle from unstable edge
The able ledge unable to label my dreads
More able though to crack beneath my feet
And send me tumble rumbling and crumbled in defeat
More or less I feel the humbling I now realize my worth
A grain of sand encompassed in the panic of this - earth

HOOK
Take me home to a happy place
Where I can breathe and walk the way
That I believe will heal my future
And watch the sea wash it all away
Point my path to the right direction
Where I can see by the clear of day
And hope that the cold won’t blow me dim
And trigger my blues from the hues of gray
VERSE
We can move to a fairytale
With our mood we can swing our soul
We can paint the pictures of nineteen
Seventy six in gold
We can stand together strong
Stay close we can beat the cold (take hold)
We can sing the songs of freedom
With a little bit of rock n roll (break the mold)
We can pure out the rhythm move
With our smooth we can flatten earth (worse)
We can douse the flames of a government
With the innocence of rebirth (birth)
We can dig deep with a pair of bare hands
For our kids we can pave the road
We can achieve nirvana (nirvana)
I teeter on the whim of an ode (let me go)

Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away
Feel the sting this blood in my heart?
Pump backwards to the tip of the dart
Metal to the veins with the peddle to the pains
Water flood rains rigid pluck of the harp
Felt beyond soul crumbling apart
A pocket in my rib cage empty and plain
You can find my rhythm if you can feel my starve
Breakdown bleed flushed from my vein
Water flood rains tear drops my cheek
Never do I look around and ask God why
I’ve walked the many trails and foot print the path
But I never seem to find my own way to fly
But this I know my thoughts and my feel
Make sure to keep it real tucked within the ill
Kept to feel sick look to find fix
But I’m tired and I’m drained so just sit still
When does it stop the anger and the ache?
The calm of the rage just before the quake
The offset rhythm with no step to take
The sidewalk never ends so I just wait
The side I walk it seems to never end
Lost in the journey just beyond the bend
Too far to turn back too late to save friends
This is - my side - walk that never ends
Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away
So many come and too many leave
Drain my pulse from the veins in my sleeve
I live by the word none left behind
- But they’re unlike me this I believe
High on the ridge I inspect the bridge
Burning on the side from the way that you have come
You can find my person if you can feel my starve
But I don’t make fire I’m water to the sun
Burn if you must then, you walk the bridge
I’ll take the long route down through the river
And I’ll climb back up to meet the other side
And hopefully you’ll cross safe with self and more guide
It’s hard to walk alone and I’ve grown
To understand strength in others to build home
They say no man is an island that’s known
Evaluate self and find your way home
Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away
Don’t look back they tell me to press on
Pack the bags move forward and walk
But I’m peering over shoulders and feeling the stress gone
That’s the drag lose brothers in thought
Keep walking the plank one day you’ll find the end
With a quick step of the deep stumbled in need
And when you find rock bottom and you can’t find them
Look back God speed believe and be freed
When does it stop the anger and the ache?
The calm of the rage just before the quake
The offset rhythm with no step to take
The sidewalk never ends so I just wait
The side I walk it seems to never end
Lost in the journey just beyond the bend
Too far to turn back too late to save friends
This is - my side - walk that never ends
Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away

HOOK:
I close my eyes and open my soul
Spread my wings and hope to fly but I
Fold my arms eyes fixed on the sidewalk
Defeat repeats heart beats in a tight not
> I might not always stay on course
Cause I’m side winding unnecessary negative force
> I might shock the world one day
> stay tuned as I fade away to gray
I’m saving daylight with forward movement
On with the groove move towards improvement
I’m battered weathered weak from the storm
Bound to the earth humbled by the norm
> I may fall but I will not break
Skin may tear and I will make mistakes
> My take is that I meet fate
I will swear by my left while my right hand hates
> I wait for no man to move
On with the groove illuminating in the view
> You prove that you will never change
Everyday same thing every day’s the same
> I blame no one but me
Falling victim to my identity
> I see not but not eye level
Out of range changed high off the treble
HOOK
Say what you say embed it in my head
Short term memory low in this head of dreads
> Mostly to shed away things I’m bothered by
Times I suppress like biological father I
Don’t push feelings to the back with a purpose
They find the first path on my sleeve on my surface
> If you could understand I’m trying to do the best I can
I’m trying to close the curtains on the stage of my circus
> I write a verse for myself to move
On with the groove illuminating in the view
> Still I prove that I will never change
Everyday same thing every day’s the same
> I blame no one but me
Falling victim to my identity
> I see not but not eye level
Out of range changed I am not the rebel
HOOK
How may I beat my pulse now I’m flying at half mast
Frayed at the edges flapping at winds pass
Too fast I stand still circles move around me
Eyes wet mouth dry just short of boundary
> I’m on the outside searching for my inner
My spirit my soul my life control
From within my skin daily my blood gets thinner
My body too weak I’m to beat and too cold
I close my eyes and open my soul
Spread my wings and hope to fly but I
Fold my arms staring at the sidewalk
Focus on the pain in my chest with a bright thought
> I might not always stay on course
Cause I’m side winding unnecessary negative force
> I might rock the world one day
> stay tuned as I pave the way

I am the antenna Armstrong satellite
Southwestern version of northern lights
Orbit flights seminal conscious
Staring down the barrel of my own esophagus
Tin foil rabbit ear satellite
Dear I say I broadcast audio
You know the ledge it’s addictive viral
Once you’re your caught you’re hooked its bible
move faster concrete flow
Smooth out gravity might go slow
Solidify cavity microphone
Transmit calamity anatomy known
Pulse via rhythm satellite sight
Eight arm tentacle medical grown
Electrify those who have died
Resurrect the lyric now all the way live
Bring back the golden age boom bap metaphor
Think back to olden days zoom back then nevermore
Forever you’re touched by the grime
Analog freak show in digital times
The reason rhyme I’m elevator of the mind
Radiate invade it in a cadence I shine
One with the sun reflect my flare
Technicolor audio respect my glare
Satellite emerging version 3.0
Download the astronomical phenomenal flow
Atomic comet atmosphere
Smoke funnel riveting in the horizon clear

Finally I’ve got fifteen minutes
First be heard next my face mixed in it
Expressionless bo tox face lift plastic
Nose job drastic not yet finished
All I need now is a driver and pilot
A new attitude new do to style it
A manager an agent head shot stylist
I could use a scandal paparazzi high list
Celebrity pamper me dare the red carpet
Edgy dangerous tabloid target
I stick strict to a low carb diet
The glam life lime light it crowd market
Image is a terrible thing to waste
So I stay up in the latest in the wake of new taste
Top of the A list set a steady pace
So they race and they chase ‘til there’s bullets in my face
Publicity stunt step number one
Run in with the cops with some pot and a gun
Rotated every minute when on VH1
This is Hollywood son the land of been there and done
But I aint the one I’m steady building my name
I’ve got Writers, stylers, biters, and no shame
I am a marketing machine in this game
And I’m out for only one thing fame

HOOK:
Parallel > the wind and sea set sail
Diversely unified call it vision and Braille
Parallel leveled in the sunset rise
Absorbed by the beautiful shine by my side
Parallel > the wind and sea set sail
Diversely unified call it vision and Braille
Parallel leveled in the sunset rise
Inevitable night light side by side
(HOOK)
Like Gemini’s > a pair for both eyes
Parallel world body soul mind collides
Artistic revise musically reprised
Painting other planets with the earth and the skies
A new birth to wise and hearts to keep brave
With the rhythm of living each night will hold days
This is the life growth and strength nourished
A rebirth of living call it wisdom and courage
The reality is this no tree can match height
For they may never climb if they can’t catch light
It’s the moon and the sun one orbital course
Spacing out time with a spiraling force
The source of all energy enough for all replenishing
Vanishing from negative repetitive so menacing
Unlimiting symmetry looping through the bend
Both ends extend with no uniform my friend
(HOOK)
Like high tides > gravitational rise
The moon is full at work again with oceanic ties
Parallel wave rides shore line traveling
Quiver of the ocean all into gathering
Fathomless in general who can really tell
Gallons by the billion always travel each swell
Each trail shall never go unpaved for the tale
Life living call it vision and Braille
Unveil the parallel discover a new wealth
A ricochet image on the pupil of thy self
Reflective eye lens bouncing back like a mirror
The echo in its vision seen for miles still clear
Serenity draws the tear > palms clutch the coming
The future is upon us I walk for the long running
Why rush? The energy will always be in rhythm
Save pace for the race father time will cut the ribbon
(HOOK)
Like Gemini’s > a pair both eyes
Parallel world body soul mind collides
Artistic revise musically reprised
Painting every step with the sound of lullabies
Hearing them flutter by the color of butterflies
Décor identical wing synchronized
Behold the eyes of a new soul combined
Anchored to the verse of sight endless in time
You can taste life and never really live it
Without the sacrifice of price felt when you give it
You can touch life and always keep it vivid
Powered by the sacrifice of Christ every visit
Real life > impartially lives upon a pair
Obviously opposite but common ground is there
Balance is life and death resting on our days
Beyond any phase time coming of age

My seed, planted, roots, stab into her planet
Time to walk upright, steady feet understand it
I brand it with one name, perfection God planned it
Connection etched in blood, next stage, page one...
The rise of a new son I fatherhood movement
Every stone along the run, I step toward improvement
You’d have never seen it comin’ one blink my wings hummin’
From inside a dim mind, light heart, heavy summon
The beat I keep drummin’ hold the rhythm to my family
I’ve got to walk upright so that my feet understand me
Forward is the energy I keep my soul grounded
Now my spirit unlimited, satellite unbounded
I’ve found it; my window open wide let the sound in
Profound it... keeps my rough edges well rounded
Surrounded, by love I hold good folks around him
My roots dig deep so that my feet will always ground him
HOOK/VERSE
It’s difficult you say trying to stand alone
Trying to walk without a guide no hand to lend you home
I’d like to think I pave the way with every hand I own
And every step that I may take is hope to land me home
But if I sigh before I die and never wake from where I lie
Hopefully that will me to me my life is satisfied
That I’ve grown old and known to show my blood will not divide
From seed to seed we generate this family with pride
But know the ledge my bio fathers line will end with me
A new dawn for my name my son will carry me
His mother my drive the reason I survive
The push that rises every sun for wake to see my eyes
Like Gemini’s > a pair for both sides
Unpaved cornerstone homegrown ties
The roots the veins the presence and the pain
The blood the essence the family and the name
The vine’s so thin life dangles on a limb
Careful is the path of walk of life until the end
But how do we begin when my line of blood is scarred
From preceding generations family trees have no regard
My mother is my blood; my step father’s my direction
My brothers are my life wife and son is my reflection
My family is my podium I always stand behind them
Looking out beyond my circle love will always find them
Dedicated, the times will always bind them
American family multi cultures blind the mind then
I feel as if my duties represent to walk the line for them
Just to remind them who I am
I am a son a brother a father and a husband
A friend that sometimes went away but still knows how it was then
Imperfect, habitual, but still I know perfection
I am a man family my blood is my reflection
HOOK/VERSE
Well here it is ma, I’ve planted my own verse now
Roots to the soil to the earth to the birth now
Who’s watching I gotta walk upright now
Three decades on the planet as of right now
Light house I am the beacon
The satellite sight home sweet home seekin’
I can see it now I read it from the tree and cloud
Perfect combination for the sun and earth feed it now
I lead it now her foot prints beside me
Perfect combination for the sun and earth to guide me
Hopefully I hold the rhythm given to provide me
The perfect combination of the blood and love inside me
I see clear within perspective
Clear to see the trail is rough, raw and respective
Unpaved cornerstone grown
Roots to soil to the earth I’m home

I just need to write let the program
Compose of my thoughts reflect of no man
Complex of my simple mind of my clutter
Gazin’ closed windows of my shutter
I just need to write need to clear head
Those of my nature bleed till near dead
Believe what fear said fight or flight now
Relieved to hear meds in sight and right now
I just need to write read and let go
Ready set go release and let go
If it returns then it was meant to learn
And teach my heart how it feels to burn
I just need to write let the program
Compose of my thoughts reflect of no man
Complex of my simple mind of my clutter
Gazin’ closed windows of my shutter
I just need to write organize pain
Repair of my tracks of thought for my train
If not for my brain at least for my act
I’ve got to retain some piece of my fact
I just need to write unblock the road
Unlock the mind one come rock the show
Walk the ledge of know to the beat of my drum
Talk to let em know that my freedom is one

Considering this project was complete and set for release in 2010, re:set for release in 2011, re:set for release in 2012…on a CD I had been working on since 2005, when CD's were still the way…
Life happens and my music is a reflection of my life, sometimes deep, tough and confident, other times, playful, witty and vulnerable. It’s then, it’s now, it’s here and there, it’s my family life, my political take, my love and hate for all things human…
re:produce relives those 6 years layered over bits and pieces of other musicians tragedies and triumphs. A re:furbished analysis of yesterdays music, that most would agree, should have been left alone.
But I have a strong relationship with each of those songs that I've incorporated into my slew of samples and my brain keeps telling me “I want to re:live that”, this time through my own headphones, riding my own complicated thought train.
Most would respect the blatant homage as well as the subliminal artistry.
Thank you for lending me your ears.
released November 19, 2012
thank you: my wife- rush, beligerent flows,orion pax and kyle the vagrant conwell for being involved with the album whether you knew it or not...
