FROM NOW TO ETERNITY

... why should i silence my defiance
compliance with the state?
my brilliant future can't wait
strategic steps like a science
i integrate that sacred guidance
all up in the beasts' face, vigilant, it's fate
revolution filled acts ocassionally lead to violence
still we won't break
FUCK every single one of them oppressive tyrants!
stand solid in determination
been patient, now we're up in the system
striking like a hidden virus
focused on this war, we kamikaze pilots
kluckin' freedom like these here spiritual riots
ain't no stoppin this momentum
our intention is simple comprehention
no pention fund to guide us
our seeds are priceless
through our liberation
we breakin' all your lies and vices
we bout to see who's really the wisest
step up, we ready
every last one of our nerves steady
see, these words are more than metaphors and verbs
we aching to break out the confetti
you've yet to feel the wrath of our current crisis
ya get me? and if you don't:
tough shit, ya still gotta respect me.
tried gaining ours respectfully
we did our nicest
apparently that method wasnt it
so here i iz, no longer ignant
homey i know the bizz, no need to creep
imma put my peep up on how to own a crib
stick to comrades stay sucka free
that's the only way we know how to be
my loud mouth can't afford to tell a fib
high grade freedom in my cup,
whose downt to take a swig?
new age swag haunt every provacatour
shake every single pig
deep intellect stee like we once were
make'em nervous for they wig
straight from S.C.
why i keep it gee
big homey, pretty elemental, ya dig?
that's how i do battle
from now to eternity

The Fool Mirror

I’ll fail and go down in flames
with more style than most who’ll ever succeed
It’s agreed that I would feed my human appetite
and despite a slight bright potential
For grasping the meticulous…
I failed to see the elemental
I failed to see the elemental
I failed to see the elemental
I failed to see the elemental
I’m rendered incompetent
but I’m at peace and quite content
I know quite well when everything went… to shit
I cause tears, I bring out hidden fears
on top of that, yo
I’m addicted to beers
And for years and years and years and years
And years and years and years
No one dares come near
But,
I’ve outgrown being this alone,
I want to live in the visions that I’ve been shown
I’ve outgrown being this alone,
I want to live in the visions that I’ve been shown
I’ve outgrown being this alone,
I want to live in the visions that I’ve been shown

A failure with over excessive spirit, soul
Talent that can make a sane person whole
Up in a huge flame, and no one will remember my name
A relic of excess,
Unless I can convince myself
A happy content oblivious fucked up mess
That I can overcome,
That I can overcome,
that I can overcome better than the best yes,
that I can overcome better than the best yes,
that I can overcome better than the rest yes,
that I can overcome better than the rest yes,
I’ve outgrown being this alone,
I want to live in the visions that I’ve been shown
I’ve outgrown being this alone,
I want to live in the visions that I’ve been shown
I’ve outgrown being this alone,
I want to live in the visions that I’ve been shown
I’ve outgrown being this alone,
I want to live in the visions that I’ve been shown….

LA REINA REGRESA A EL CENTRO DE LOS ANGELES

***LA REINA PARTY MOVED DOWN THE STREET TO THE 5 STAR BAR!! TELL YOUR PEEPS!! DON'T MISS OUT!!***



"STOP REQUESTED"

she's my city and i love her madly like
only a rare few can, understand
she has seen my ups and my downs
and she is royalty,
she keeps me sane and her streets
share stories that tell a tale
of mass movement, motivated bodies
travel, so many that
i will never meet a majority
but still i thrive in the city
turned metropolis, gone megalopolis
that has nurtured me since childhood
where my feet have walked down
sad sunrises, silent sunsets
silent like early morning or late night bus rides
that let me know we still
have a means to go
but hopeful like
the stranger that walks into
the bus with a smile and a conversation
and breaks alienated silence
with working class conversation
this is my queen and i defend her
to me she is one big bus ride
like so many others on the front lines
we work towards a better future
i am on the bus
and i don't mind breaking the silence
she's my city, and i love roaming her
streets she's my one true love
and this love is not always pretty
but i find myself finding new adventures
and i fall in love all over again
i dig for the smoothest
most elegant structure of words
to describe a distant yet congested
thought and i find myself thinking
" organic intellectual,
over rated academic
and i am somewhere in between"
from bus stop to bus stop i go into you
and head to your glamor only to always
catch the bus back to my reality
we are co-dependent and incurable
and just like the tired souls
the student, the worker, the wanderer,
the migrant, the hustler
off to work, coming from or in the middle of
my queen, we meditate at the sight of life
i see in you my grandparents
Los Angeles
a migrant story
new old home
unorthodox activism, practice over theory
constant revolution
mad love, ocassionally
some fall asleep on the bus ride and miss their stop
worn out from routine
but this pespective is privlige
i wake that person up and say,
"hey buddy, we about to reach the end of the line,
hope you havent missed you're stop"
but more often than not
it's me that's being woken up
taking a courtesy ride back to my intended stop
life continues,
working class, not intended for all
very little glamor
and i love it, my queen I Love it..

Distant Star

sometime she give me nervous twitches
more than just your average pretty misses
she like slightly outta sight
can't no one burn a sun this bright
she closer to a cosmic princess
when i recite verse,
she closes her eyes, takes a deep breath
and how i love it when she listens
i'm locked in her eyes and her eyes become my prison
she's a shining star and i'm hopelessly wishin'
yes, she said making her mine
and getting at her would be a mission
but when you're devoted what's time?
seen this scenario play out long ago in a childish vision
speak highly of her whenever she mentioned
es unica, ninguna como ella, bella
humilde e inteligente, bajo luz de esta luna
con papel y pluma compongo su cancion
con letra fina intento alcanzar a mi lejana estrella
es la que acompleta a un alma que viene como cometa
me tiene en las nubes y no quiero bajar
entrar a su corazon siempre ha sido mi unica meta
y si eso no por lo menos que ella este contenta
que fuera yo el que la hace sonreir,
que fuera yo su poeta,
la admiro porque nunca intenta ser perfecta
aun asi ella es una princesa zapoteca
xoch'clen'Dioxia' por aquella cosecha.

SACRED SYLLABLE

for the afterlife if for whatever i'm lonely
i offer every homey sacred syllable
open up the mind to a new path;
protected by the spiritual
revisit our past
in ceremony we shine
life lived as ritual
thoughts give word breath
make dreams dramatically visual
new battle field everything digital
frontline still remain physical
can't remain still
live life fast
grow old or get killed
stay sane or be cynical
present made past, tell me
what wordly things are truly meant to last?
even with the last gasp,
a life ill spent few managed to witness and grasp
piety was grueling, seemed everyones heaviest task
triumphs and tribulations
ambitions never once masked
envious future and destiny ulimately did collide and crash
driven by Ome knew the dangers of cash
a rider on a cosmic trip, to me currency became trash
smashed on every experience given
livin a life far from holy
slowly grabbed on to life while smoking a stoggie
never known to slip
posted in the cut somewhere in the milky way
feeling at home gee, in my eyes
what is a life liven witout a good story?

DON'T LET THE BEAST WIN

look at the way this trapped system is set
you'd think we wasnt meant be free and get up
but we aint ever gonna let up, better defend your rights
even if it means gripping knowledge tight like a beretta
i know you heard what i said
don't pretend like you ain't fed up
take all that you can
gain the knowledge to snatch up the cheddar
don't let the beast win,
be on your grind always do him one better
we all gone connect,
consider this my angry ass open letter
gonna handle all angles and strangle
the demons and evil scum, gonna defeat them
ain't letting one scatter
the moment has come to retake whats ours
we all about the power no time for theoretic chatter
recruiting warriors that know what matter
willing to boot the corrupt boss
heavy in the trenches not taking part in panels
giving they life to a just cause
missing death by inches sneaking underground
and hopping over fences
not taking anymore chances momentum won't pause
breaking any and all unjust laws, making the enemy
shiver, shake and shit their drawls
at every instance, spirits working to correct our flaws
burn incense if the message need be delivered
the craziest warriors you ever saw
we rising doing battle to handle as one to take it all
nerves steady never known to rattle
who's down to heed the call?
we fam, a tribe, one big ass global clan
got each others back if any one fall
can't be defeated if united we take our stand
the beast on the ground
begin' for mercy, finally quiver and crawl
