Turn me / turn me inside out / turn me the wrong way / the wrong way is madness / turn me mad / madly turning madly turn me / around / the wrong way around / the right way wrong / the wrong way right / "right round baby right round" / wrong is right from the inside-out insight / from the insight of the inside-out wrong is right / from the inside-out insight / spin me / blur out my sight / blur my sight right out / blur my right sight out / spin me / begin to look me in me / spin me / look within me / blur my out-sight focus my insight / spin / turn me inside-out turn my outside in / spin / madness I see see my madness begin / spin / madness I see see my madness begin / spin... Meditate on this... Meditate on this / simplest existence comes with a false fist / some slit the wrist / separate from the fist / while some well some persist and kiss the false lips / with false lips I kiss the false lips I kiss / while some Prophets speak some speak for profits / some hitches some glitches so some switches channel / settle on the mammal existence / insistence on animal instinct / the beast is among us / the beast is us / in the beast we trust / I blame the beast for my lust / more concerned with the crust then the centre we enter a new mind frame / more concerned with the frame then the mind / looking for a fine frame the looks all we find / coz brother, gotta look fine all the time / climb into kicks so slick they're lickable / edible / chewing on my phatness / the baggier the slacks fit sits off the hip I hop in fly fabrics / lost in the cost like some soulless addicts / padded my soul with this heavy hooded top that'll cover me in culture / shield me in pop from the non-stop candy coated rotten crop / protect/chop-chop I consume the quickest / this is the active distractivest / attracted to immaculate plasticness coz plastic persists and we wanna live for ever / push on regardless whatever the weather / burning in the sunshine / branded in my tanned bits / singing in the rain and i'm spinning in the madness...

Rhyme I like the Prime Time Channel pick / I play the lead character in my daily flick / the plot thickens / so i'm stickin' / to the script / know you like a plot twist so the script I flip / see I flow for those who dirt them nose knows / even Hollywood Hills have got a few hobos / sleeping on the red carpet late at night / where the left over popcorn started a fight / while the cameras snap the famous feet of a few / some people gotta eat at the back of the queue / might be talkin' about you / you might be hearing me / but if your hands are full I doubt you're feeling me / I been cursed to see all this reality they hardly ever wanna show on the biggest screen / big time big lights big shine / see the name is / kinda famous / is what the aim is / i'm on so many tracks makes me wonder where the train is / while the lamest remain the mainest / pay diss / respect to the poets on the pavement / even though we try to free the people from the brain enslavement / they're cool with the cage if it can't be seen / so the packaging is shaped like a TV screen / see the cinema seats come with the extra lean so you can kick back / relax / trapped in another scene Slipping in between / the life and the dream / swop the reality for the fantasy / unreal how we feel / no texture / just another extra / trying to play the lead In the real world / I be the Pro not the novice / punch a politician / that's the way to Box Office / you don't need Oscar to act like a hustler / down where the cops are the real block busters / still they try to tell us / the flicks that they sell us / aren't made to degrade us or make us live jealous lives / hanging onto every scene / so we never need to see beyond the silver screen / they build the bling into everything so you pay the right price and you fit right in / no point fighting / with the right lighting / you won't see the needle / won't feel the sting / when it's over it's on to the next one / pay a big price so they're bringing us the best one / don't want the lesson / schools out for summer / waiting at the bus stop dreaming of the Hummer / the big one tonner / super model stunner / big bad gunner or the smooth drug runner / ha / anything is possible / believe it / truly / it must be real / i've seen it in a movie

Intro speech: Just trying to maintain man! / but the pressures are dominant / yeah the pressures are mounting man / and the pressures are most prominent right there 'round the edges / yeah the pressure's a mountain man / and man's on the face of the cliff trying to keep a grip / one slip and its off the lip / loose grip and you lose face / to face the loose lips whose faces see you fall from the grip of graces they maintain / i'm just trying to maintain man / but the pressures are mounting man / but the pressures are prominent right there round the edges / where the ledges are sharp lines between now and when man / the only difference between infinite and eternal existence is mathematics man / so making two and two equal you for a time means it's time for you / not time for nothing else / not nobody / none / it's all you / and if it's all you and nothing else then it is infinite and needs no maintenance but needs mathematics / and my maths is no good man / eternity is infinity without the maths / so there is no two and two for you / just you man / 's more man / and more man is more you man trying to maintain / see eternity is he turn to me and see more so we know more what we're maintaining for Rap verse: See it's never settled when there is always something more to be scored / so you wanna get your foot in the door / foot to the floor / going all out to be talked about / when the talk's all in and the walk is out / and the forces out in full wanna pull you / a different route to the one to fulfill you / they force it out / put a hold on the passion / separated style so they form more fashion / the force divorced you from the course that you maintain / sensing the strain up against the grain / came to claim and to capture your natural frame with no actual pain just a casual gain / comfortably clipped into slipped into chains / and the chains look good yeah the chains are fat / PH be a chemical distraction for that / little pop bubble prick with a backward act / that forward thinking / that's an act we lack / in an instant i'm angry / put the back up / looking for the back up / nothing but a gap / what happened to the team / see the family is done / deadbeat dads and the single moms / but the mill must run so the kids still come coz the womb still works to consumer jerks / pull the planet population to the edge of the earth / no worth in the world but the paper chase / concrete towers with a plastic base / foundations formed on a plastic face / see belief been stretched like elastic waste / see we cut the tongue coz we don't need taste / just more to consume so we make more space / body gets stuffed like a pie and we all want a piece / prepare for the feast / snatch at a fresh batch / trip the switch / there's a catch at the bottom of the wish list / where the print is fine how they play the line so the hook sits fine in a mouth like mine / shine / make money money make money make money / Kodak click make the day seem sunny / coulda done more but we run on all fours / when you tread on a mill there's no time to pause / so it's time for the cause to come back / back on course / aim for the source / no mind tricks just feel the force / back to the fires where the elders talk / there's truth at the bottom of the wishing well / see the power of the truth in a broken spell / it's the power of the youth / the fruit from the root / the pipe been crushed / yeah we snapped the flute / with the words of the wise and the young ones muscle / time to define the real hustle / its timeless / put the planet first / then listen as we all sing a similar verse: don't need no church no bank no beast we withdraw war and bank on peace true wealth increase / true health increase / don't need no church no bank no beast we withdraw war and bank on peace true wealth increase / true health increase Outro speech: Preach? / nah / don't make me no minister / people have enough pulpits and podiums / enough politicians and preachers / so no speeching no preaching just speaking to reach / not up not down but out / we reach speaking out / to maintain man / just trying to maintain / speaking out / to try and maintain man / just trying to maintain man!

Two empty shoes and a tree I see...in the city...I see two empty shoes...and a tree, no sign of any body...so what happened to the two feet thinks me, trying to solve this...no body mystery...what happened to the two feet from the two empty shoes next to this tree I think thinks me trying to solve this no-body mystery must be something to do with the tree says me out loud...let me spin a little imagining, flip a little fantasy and presume this man was that man but now that man is this tree...how came this to be? how this came to be? questions me...still following that fantasy flip I mean, I can see why a man would want to be a tree...guilt free...giving back constantly to the community...deep roots strong core long reach...past present and future all balanced in one body...soil to the sky...giving and taking equally...absorb and emit emit and absorb absorb and emit and absorb and emit and absorb and emit life giving life taking living equality living equally living guilt free...man wants to be a tree obviously man but how...two shoes and a tree still a mystery to me I see in the city...how...I mean man wants to be tree obviously guilt free contributing to the community lending a helping hand obviously lending a hand obviously, after all, it was a Palm Tree...who wouldn’t wanna be a tree...but how...maybe he just started small, like start with the leaf, like just be the leaf, just be the leaves...maybe just be leaves...maybe we just be leaves...maybe...two shoes and a tree...no sign of any body maybe he just started small start with the leaf, be the leaf, maybe just be leaves, maybe just be the leaves, maybe he just wanted to be leave...maybe we just wanna believe...
