A River on glass in plastic behind the curtain there your mask is you wear it looking for a past tense present perfect a future second guessed is it worth it? I take a grain a salt like a diabetic ride my blood pressure till I burst through the heaven no regret just reflect I gotta find myself before I find the suspect live your life at different heights take advantage the view doesn't come twice who would thought that the river could conceive mirrors that could breathe question and perceive I had a dream two came before three you crawl before you lead you hear before you speak I gotta choose between the river or the stream the stream or the river regardless of my choice I navigate it free A river on glass in plastic behind the curtain there your mask is you were it looking for a past tense present perfect a future second guessed is it worth it?

My Distance 02:09
How many times do I gotta win? Just to let you know the world spins You never give it any mention until you see it from a distance How many times do I gotta spin? just to make another whirlwind you never give it comprehension Yo this is my distance How many times do they blink and grin? just because you chose to make an end they never give you any mention Yo this is your distance How many times do we gotta win? just to let them know the world spins they never give us any mention Yo this is our distance Stop I hear the wind blow a sentence wrote in accordance with my pen flow fall back forward look into my window How many times do I gotta be told not to listen to the music? this is my calling not something for amusement to birth it and use it pinpoint illusion make another blueprint So, Now I gotta flow to the movement ride where the groove hits in between a moment congruent so it's soothing this is where my voice lives counting every tuning How many times do I gotta win? just to let them know the world spins You never give it any mention until you see it from a distance How many times do I gotta spin just to make another whirlwind you never give it comprehension Yo this is my distance How many times do they blink and grin? just because you chose to make an end they never give you any mention Yo this is your distance

Plateau 01:07
Now I gotta call it like I see it another rat race a mismatched place its not even a fair shot played its a clear case so I place my bets cause i'm not running backwards Yo its a cold world I'm feeling venus you in a fly trap? I see the phoenix This my plateau... Now I gotta call it like I see it another rat race a mismatched place I think it's even I know the shots played its a clear play so I play my rhythm cause I'm not running backwards Yo its a cold world I'm feeling venus you in a fly trap? I see the phoenix This is our plateau..

Daydreamer 01:05
So I have dreams of flying all within my head then I wake up on the wrong side of the bed Its a headache and i'm nauseous to waking ill trapped in place my train of thought can't propel yo my daydreams they never hold back they always real my daydreams they always hit back it never fails and now i'm hitting speed limits written in braille out of body experience I can't tell Yo my daydreams they always kick back it feels real my daydreams they always kick raps it never fails and now I gotta wake up to see whats real close my eyes and see the minutes turn from years Yo my daydreams they always speak back it sounds real my daydreams they always dream back it never fails take a breath breathe just inhale now I gotta wake up to something I can't feel

Found 03:19
Mos of the time people spend fortunes, lifetimes searching for the most obvious things its usually right in front of them they don't even notice... Sit back, relax yo lets all get found stand up, step back yo I let it be found ayo look up look down, yo lets all get found stand up, step back yo I let it be found ayo look up look down, yo I let it be found stand up, sit back yo lets all get found ayo, ayo lets all get found ayo stand up, sit down, I let it be found Stop here's a mission before you forget to find whats been missing this object could be the price of admission just a means to a battle in remission the body and the mind know the feelings missing logic can't comprehend mutual feeling intuition speaks who tells you to listen? the bottom of your soul or whats between your feeling? Are someone else's words written on your ceiling? a mirror speaks reading your bodies position open wounds different lengths and incisions an open book full of different euphemisms scars, stories with optimism we're all related born to astigmatism greeting a past living to remember excavating the present to find a living. sit back, relax, yo lets all get found ayo stand up step back Yo I let it be found ayo look up look down yo lets all get found stand up step back yo I let it be found ayo look up look down yo I let it be found sit back relax yo lets all get found ayo ayo lets all get found ayo sit back relax... no more apologies this is my melody merging my sanity ch-check the recipe reflect the heavens be sky incandescently dream disconnected be what gives the remedy who funds the energy I speak in memory giving back collectively until, until, until unexpectedly I find myself and I leave the maze. sit back relax ayo lets get found stand up step back ayo let it be found look up look down yo lets get found ayo sit back relax yo lets all get found stand up step back yo let it be found look up look down yo lets get found sit back relax yo let it be found one two three

Jigsaw 01:29
This is living life through meditation taste the wind and breathe a song of exclamation now I gotta pivot to a grin in observation slaying dragons cause my thoughts swim in patience Life is what you make it colorblind the beholder seems to make a palette with only greyscale Now i'm hearing tall tales just to make a battle Jagged edges playing roles that I can't fathom Now I gotta connect the faces sideways, upside down to adjacent burnt bridges nod they head looking for replacement clouds playing animals rain no abatement Life is what you make it colorblind the beholder seems to make a palette with only greyscale life is full of tall tales you gotta fight the battle the other half is finding where your face hides its shadows a million pieces better some than reces trying to figure out how I fit what's between them objective reason misplaced in season now up against the wall repeat Life is what you make it I'm on a world tour trying to find my placement in different places behind the faceless I see the whole pattern its up to me to find out if every part matters

A River on glass in plastic behind the curtain there your mask is you wear it looking for a past tense present perfect a future second guessed is it worth it? I take a grain a salt like a diabetic ride my blood pressure till I burst through the heaven no regret just inflect I gotta feel the echo to reverberate my step live your life at different heights take advantage the view doesn't come twice who would thought that the river could conceive mirrors that could breathe question and perceive Take a minute watch the sun bleed Vitamins you see caught beneath your feet I had a dream two came before three you crawl before you lead you hear before you speak you grow with every leap you shine with every beat Yo I gotta choose between the river or the stream the stream or the river regardless of my choice I navigate it free A river on glass in plastic behind the curtain there your mask is you were it looking for a past tense present perfect a future second guessed is it worth it?

voice of my mother face of my father biology of this rap could it be farther? I take the frame paint pictures set to a marker it's never wishful thinking just logic to ponder I'm watching carousels play just like they're imbeciles spinning with a rhythm pitched this description fits them well honestly, you couldn't find the nerve to pick my pitch in verbs I'm akin to haley's roots a comet constellation proof face of my mother voice of my father two lines converged I call it my drama dissonance in grey matter i'll solve the problem

about

I've always felt that music was about creating experiences, communicating things that say far more than words ever will. This project is the result of a communication that has been developed over the past few years between myself (Lateef) and Nurthice. Although we live in different parts of the world, (US, Bulgaria) this hasn't hindered our ability to share ideas committed to the purpose of expressing things timeless.
