FIRE EVERYDAY BURNING IN MY ALLEYWAY
SOMEDAY I'M GONNA WANNA FLY AWAY
TIME IS UNDERWAY NOW TOMORROWS YESTERDAY
BUT TODAY NEVER SEEMS TO GO AWAY
THE SYSTEM IS A MESS, I FEEL IT IN MY CHEST
MY PEOPLE SUICIDAL YES THEY GETTING SO DEPRESSED
AND FEELING SUPER STRESSED, THEY ACTING ALL POSSESSED
DISCONNECTED FROM HUMANITY AND SO I MUST SUGGEST
TO FOCUS ON COMMUNITY AND UNITY IS WISE
AND REALISE THE BEAUTY WHEN OUR VOICES HARMONISE
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACCLIMATISE
SO PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY LET'S LOOK EACH OTHER IN THE EYES
DON'T LOOK SO UNIMPRESSED, YOU KNOW YOU'RE SELF-OBSESSED
INDIVIDUALISM GOT YOU AND YOU'RE NOW A NARCISSIST
SO STEP UP TO THE TEST, YOUR ONE AND ONLY QUEST
TO OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND MIND AND REALISE YOU'RE BLESSED
ITS TIME FOR US TO THINK ABOUT THE YOUTH AND EMPATHISE
LET'S BUILD A BETTER FUTURE FROM THE TRUTH AND NOT THE LIES
WE NEED TO GET TOGETHER NOW AND REVOLUTIONISE
OTHERWISE WE'LL ONLY EVER HYPER NORMALISE
AND SO I LOOK UP TO THE SKY AND SEE THE WORLD IS PASSING BY
I'M A SOLDIER OF FIRE I KEEP MY HEAD UP HIGH
I WILL ALWAYS SHINE MY LIGHT UPON THE TRUTH AND ON THE LIES
AN ALL FORSAKEN JUDGMENT ON THE RULING OF MY MIND
I BREAK AWAY THE CHAIN FROM OFF MY NECK AND REALISE
THAT I GAVE AWAY MY FREEDOM FOR A CULTURE I DESPISE
I LET THEM WASH MY BRAIN AND KEEP ME DUMB AND SATISFIED
BUT NOW I'M EVEN STRONGER IN MY SPIRIT WATCH ME RISE
I'M A SOLDIER SEARCHING FOR MY SOUL
RHYTHM IS MY WEAPON AND MY LYRIC IS MY CALL
I'M A SOLDIER YOU CAN SEE ME STANDING TALL
I WILL ALWAYS GET BACK UP EVEN IF YOU SEE ME FALL
I'M A SOLDIER AND I'M SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH
THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO WIN AND SO THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO LOSE
I'M A SOLDIER AND I'M WAKING UP THE YOUTH
YES I'M WAKING UP THE YOUTH

Spark
04:33

I was afraid of the dark before I stepped into the light
And I was a slave to the barking it got me wound up so tight
And I could always hear it deep in the back of my mind
Then came a flame from a spark that, illuminated so bright
I could hear them call my name
I could hear it clear as day
It might have always been the same
I opened up my eyes and realised I was playing a game
Now
I'm always trying to keep my mind open wide
I'm always analysing things that I find
I'm always thinking about my feelings inside
No matter if I hurt my pride
Cos I'm searching for light
I'm always open to your vision or sight
I'm always doing not saying I might
I'm always trying to keep the peace, that's right
But if you want to fight
Then I can be that type
So here I go again I'm visible
I'm always literal unless I'm super cynical
But I'm satirical cos that's the way my brain can digest
A super critical thought to sync my mind with my chest
Yes
The best is yet to come
My quest is never won
So open up the gates and let the flood come
It's gonna wash you away
But you can dry in the sun
So let the light illuminate upon your questions
Cos I got nothing to loose
I open up my heart and I channel my muse
This is the path that I choose
Getting closer to the answer cos I'm finding the clues
I got my ego wrapped up in a noose
I found him in the corner all sad and confused
I'm never acting obtuse
The irony I see will always keep me amused
I take ahold of your mind and then I clear it
You used to feel the demons but now you see the spirit
I'm opening up your heart so come and get near it
There's no need to run away there's no need to fear it
I know that you can hear it cos it's loud and clear
So let me separate the frequencies inside of your ear
Every thought has got an energy I know that you be feeling
So hear this is how I give my life a meaning
I'm flexible
Always eat my vegetables
Trying to be respectable
Always acting sensible
My wifey got me sexual
Her food is so delectable
My touch is always sensual
My fist is always clenchable
So catch me at a festival
Do you see my legible list
Can you conceive why my soul is in bliss
If you wanna walk away then I can blow you a kiss
See I will never loose control of my clenchable fist
I was afraid of the dark before I stepped into the light
And I was a slave to the barking it got me wound up so tight
And I could always hear it deep in the back of my mind
Then came a flame from a spark that, illuminated so bright
I could hear them call my name
I could hear it clear as day
It might have always been the same
I opened up my eyes and realised I was playing a game

Dong dong dong.
Pull up the rhythm and the fire
Pull up the rhythm we better pull it quick
Burn up the fire till early morning
Now we reaching higher we about to hit the peak
All my warriors now come and join in
Don't let them stop you or get in your way
You can spread that fire sit and meditate
Say what you mean and mean what you say
You have that power always
Dong dong dong
Pull up the rhythm and the fire
We nice up and we nice up and we nice up the place
We bring you positivity we bring you the bass
We mash up all the rhythm like a secret recipe
Make your body feel good and supple after physiotherapy
We following the fire i-man whole i-ration
Soundsystem with positive vibration
Sweet reggae music coming through your speaker
To lay the foundation for roots and culture
Ready or not tell them here i come
They trying to figure out now where i come from
They can't break my spirit i will overcome
In the yard downtown they call me mad indian
My roots from the subcontinent
Half dravidian half malaysian
But really don't matter the configuration
If you feel it in the heart then you will feel my mission
Cos i know better days are gonna come
These lyrics me a talk are like prayers on the tongue
Breathing in the air take it deep into the lungs
Put pen to paper these songs all need to be sung
We need to all come together
We need to educate one another
Check your bias check your judgment
He's not the enemy they sent to we
He is a brother
Dong dong dong
Pull up the rhythm and the fire
We feel this vibration every day
The basslines booming in this rhythm that we play
I know that you can hear what i say
So step up to the floor and let your troubles wash away
Because your spirits harmonising
Your body and your mind is optimising
You know that the music's hypnotising
We are fear fighting no compromising hey
So let the truth come through
We breakdown the lies and all the fake news
Respect the innovations and breakthroughs
Watch them get corrupted by how the snake moves
While all the psychopaths them all make the rules
To keep us all dieing keep us all fools
So we the uprising we got the clues
To revolutionise with the truth

Transmission
04:51
|

|
Do you hear the voices calling out
Begging you to stop and listen
Feel the tears of joy they're pouring out
Mother don't need your permission
Swing to the noise of your profound
Listen to an inner vision
Now you see the truth is all around
Tune in to this transmission
So here I go as I cover to the beat
With the expiration of my own heartbeat
I hear a voice repeat in my ear
Like a mantra telling me I'm incomplete
There's work to do
I need a soul review
I feel frozen so I reheat
I get myself close to the fire
Sing with the choir
Right at the edge of my seat
I feel like I'm falling
I reach for the calling
I know that I'm calling alone
My heart is a doorway
My mind is soaring
My mouth is pouring the song
But before I know I hit the floor
But feel the cold
From beneath the fold
I see the gold
I know I need the road
I'll eat the mould
If it means I won't be controlled
But here I am now
I understand now
We get the handouts
I need to crack down
I need to act now
Before I get slammed down
And in a way I feel the sway
Coming from the pain that stays for days and days
But I'll embrace the rain
I will never be ashamed
That's the way I bring about my change
Do you hear the voices calling out
Begging you to stop and listen
Feel the tears of joy they're pouring out
Mother don't need your permission
Swing to the noise of your profound
Listen to an inner vision
Now you see the truth is all around
Tune in to this transmission
Do you hear the voices calling out
Begging you to stop and listen
Feel the tears of joy they're pouring out
Mother don't need your permission
Swing to the noise of your profound
Listen to an inner vision
Now you see the truth is all around
Tune in to this transmission

There With Me
04:43
|

|
I know I'm always miles away
So I shut my eyes and call your name
Until you're there in front of me
I feel that you have done the same
We link together like a chain
I feel your body start to sway
We're dancing like a fire's flame
Underneath the rain
'Cause everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
And even if I'd never met you
I'd still be looking for you till this day
And so I thank the spirit's, for they sent you
Because they heard me calling out your name
Our destiny was always meant to
Inspire truth and love to light the way
I'll always be there to protect you
And I know that you would do the same
'Cause everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
'Cause everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me

Teach
04:33
|

|
I teach what I know
I will plant a seed watch it grow
I can only reap what I sow
I dedicate my life to the spirit
Come and get near it
I walk this road with my head up high
I'm beaming light from my soul into your third eye
Hear the thunder boom and electrify
With the lighting coming straight from the sky
Now come and get closer there's no need to be shy
You know most of the people never asking why
And so I'm here on a mission till the day that I die
Spreading love and unity and trying to stop the lies
Join in my ritual and help me try
To rise up from the ashes into the sky
Feel the wind pick us up as we start to fly
Looking down you can see all the reasons why
We need to stop look and listen to our hearts inside
Trust in the spirits let them be your guide
Until all of our consciousness is unified
Sit and meditate upon the light
I teach what I know
I will plant a seed watch it grow
I can only reap what I sow
I dedicate my life to the spirit
Come and get near it
I'm calling out if you wanna connect
I'm reaching out with my soul and my heart to reflect
A positivity and power and the aim to respect
A whole community of minds that suffer neglect
So come and get closer we need to redirect
This roller coaster humanity is driving unchecked
We know we lost sensibility of cause and effect
Now we bouncing off a cliff trying to hit the eject
But I scrape together all the love I collect
And with a gang of super spirits and my intellect
I meditate in a state we can interconnect
Shut your eyes raise a fist and let your soul accept the depth
My mind is what I need to protect
They coming at me from an angle I could never expect
Now they giving me a choice to disconnect
I only need love to select
