The first track I've ever put out. Working on an EP that'll feature this.

Huge thanks to  miyabisan (http://soundcloud.com/sneppid) for his production work and support, and to all of the incredible MCs who've inspired me over the years.


==Lyrics==

This dying trust, surroundin' us,
Ya know it's just a symptom,
A world full of wonder,
Defiled by the systems
We put in place,
We've put our faith,
In governments and visions,
Turned never-ending torrent of oppression and convictions.
A life where distinction's determined by wealth,
And budgets cut deep into national health.
'cause if the postcode lottery leaves you sat on the shelf,
Then I'm sorry mate, you're gonna have to fend for yourself.

Pounds saved, lives lost,
High cost, why not,
Try to pretend politicians give a fuckin' toss?
Relentlessly clawed back,
Pounds, pennies, more tax
Snatched by the hollow banks,
Wasted on building tanks.

Take all that cash and rebuild this society,
Defuse the notoriety,
You've earned through ambivalence,
To those without hope,
Denied their equivalence.
Surprised when the spawn of this poverty turn miscreant,
But some, they survive,
Search out peace,
Strive for betterment.

So find it,
Look around,
Meditate on your mind set.
Contemplate, concentrate,
Unconfine it.
Now let your soul fly free,
Don't be blinded,
To the beauty that surrounds,
All your life's stress.
'cause all it takes is a little bit of kindness,
Take a moment out to revel in the fineness,
Of this fine mess of chaos that defines us.

I don't,
See life as a series of chores,
And as a pacifist, I choose not to view it as war,
But that outlook's so pervasive, man
I've seen it before.
Where immediate hostility precludes a rapport.
And so these blood-thirsty wolves get to bay at our doors.
Every weekend, run in packs,
They're stainin' pavements with gore.
Aftermath of two-for-one,
But for that dude on the floor?
It's more like six on fuckin' one,
Another ambulance call.

Mate, unclench those fists.
Release pent-up tension,
Use other methods,
To channel aggression.
Let go of rage,
Step through that red mist,
Realise we're all just fuckin' people tryin' hard to live.
Lives where it feels like we've got little relevance,
'cause sometimes it's hard, some will stumble, show benevolence.
Communicate, collaborate, construct, display intelligence,
'cause empathy, is meant to be, a whole lot more in evidence.

So find it,
Look around,
Meditate on your mind set.
Contemplate, concentrate,
Unconfine it.
Let your soul fly free,
Don't be blinded,
To the beauty that surrounds,
All your life's stress.
'cause all it takes is a little bit of kindness,
Take a moment out to revel in the fineness,
Of this fine mess of chaos that defines us.

Ya see,
A little perspective, man, it goes a long way,
When minutiae it conspires to ruin your day,
How the smallest of things, they can so heavily weigh,
On our shoulders, the load, it just leads to dismay.
But our first-world privilege should really allay,
Most fears and concerns, what I'm trying to say,

Is realise you've blessings to count when life seems darkest,
Never let your worries consume,
Just try to harness,
The good things ya see,
Let 'em drive you along,
Find a passion, get an outlet,
Fuck it, light up a bong.
Place trust in your friends,
Always value those bonds,
And if you ever start forgetting them,
Just play this song.

Yeah, so find it,
Look around,
Meditate on your mind set.
Contemplate, concentrate,
Unconfine it.
Let your soul fly free,
Don't be blinded,
To the beauty that surrounds,
All your life's stress.
'cause all it takes is a little bit of kindness,
Just take a moment out to revel in the fineness,
Of this fine mess of chaos that defines us.

It's all just a ride, a wise man once said,
And though that can be hard to believe,
Don't be subject.
Object,
When you're being confronted with bullshit,
Don't be scared by the media's lies,
Show some true grit.

I will spit,
Until I get my message across,
There's more to life than starting fights with everybody you cross,
There's more to life than sittin' worrying 'bout your pensions and stocks,
There's more to life than stagnating, letting pop culture wash,
Away your, identity until you're someone you're not.
A mass-produced, conformist package shaped by unseen gods.
Because there's beauty in this world that doesn't come at a cost.
Learn to see it and together, we can hold back its loss.

Yeah so, find it,
Look around,
Meditate on your mind set.
Contemplate, concentrate,
Unconfine it.
Let your soul fly free,
Don't be blinded,
To the beauty that surrounds,
All your life's stress.
'cause all it takes is a little bit of kindness,
Just take a moment out to revel in the fineness,
Of this fine mess of chaos that defines us.

'cause it defines us.

Yeah, it defines us.
