Activism 03:09
Activism Verse 1: An open space Softens the mood Often confused The wind gust Stirs the paradox I'm stuck Reduced to dust In what must Be repressed Something new Looking for a hole To shine through Sweetest melodies They're ringing true Like Lao Tzu Now that's living No telling what’s The wisdom In my dominion Unstoppable Cataclysm Rap activism That's my opinion Rigorous in my Perception Second guessing Miss-directions I test dimensions Click with this And get connections Try to resist But you are Help less So surrender to the Effervescent Wellness The great amender Time bender Mood lifter Page flipper Feeding off the Gravediggers Strange liquor Got me in a Daze quicker Writing my Greatest scripture I'm the shameless Time sifter Find that Devine whisper Verse 2: Flowing like The rivers When the levies Bust I'm a free man! And still I trust In my fam For laughs The world is Changing fast With my words I Cast... hope Fame and cash, will They last.... nope And so I Laugh and live those Twitter quotes Smoke inside my Middle throat Do what's spoke Away I go Note inside a glass - Like a bottle boat Messages float To travel coasts From now Until forever Bodizepha I'm a newer Much smoother Crowd pleaser Proud hippie Vibe enthuser Mentally looser Vision inducer Thrill pursuing Video producer Ear amusing Laser shooter Handsome suitor Love seducer While I'm Planting seeds For the future Taste shapers I'm a hit maker Innovator Driven by the haters Fakers, imitators, Discriminators Darth Vader Infiltrators Intimidators Who wanna test? I spark a match and Burn you Instigators. Verse 3: I Got Rhythm infused A new point of view Miss-construed In your head In time it's inevitable To see my Visions in raps Over tracks Incredible Intentions sensible The truth is Indispensable I'm just doing me A drunk Swerving version Slamming shots Swearing a lot I got Smoking hot Music blaring Caring not Abandon random Reaching Breathing reason Into the evening Leaving trails to Dreaming Setting sail Like seamen On brain waves Moving forward Secret keeping Something to Believe in Other than Reaching dough I'm spitting gold To even it An immediate Strictly strategic   Soul seeping flow So watch my Brand grow Can you handle? Endless messages Below the Surface sediment Hear the resonance Echo echo then elevate the evidence Hip hop Elements over Sweeping melodies That bleed relevance. Written by: Matt Bodi Brenowitz

Truth Seekers Intro: Truth lies Under many lies Just try Open up your eyes Eyes eyes Verse 1: This goes out to the truth seekers Fed up with the nonsense Levels we aspire to Skills we acquire Are liars the people we admire No surrender no retreat no retire no defeat Old concepts Don't connect To the objects We desire Tree of knowledge seeker Endless features Treasure keeper Rest in peacer Record reacher Righteous path believer I'm a walking contradiction Pleasure seeking Reaching for the quick fix Conscious leaking liquid As I drip to the beat It’s the remix That I live through And when I pass by Past lives Re-visit all the sites Where my ego died Am I too weak To let it rest in peace I find the answers when I Least expect The dots connect I re collect my oldest memories And yet I still Re-invent what's real Chorus: If you never loose you'll never gain Cherish love and pain They will lead you in the right way And one bright day You will see You'll find a truth seeker in me You'll see Truth seeker in me Verse 2: The beat That's my truth serum When I write I'm in delirium Release the fear with-in Voices reel me in Beyond what I think When I sink into The mood I'm in My problems seem to Duplicate and magnify The more I try To release the fire Find myself myself myself Burning with desire Some love me for what I possess I take advantage of the fake-ness I'm weightless In the troubled times Seeming problems Heavy on my mind Character flaws Pushing me to say I am the cause Claiming ignorance Ignoring common sense At my own expense Through the eye of the needle Is sanity  Sharing hallucinations With other people? It’s a twisted trip To be honest I'm ready for the progress Elevated conscious Making the move To greener grass Blues the past Critical mass To make it last Chorus If you never loose you'll never gain Cherish love and pain They will lead you in the right way And one bright day You will see You'll find a truth seeker in me Verse-3 Ideals all religions Could agree on From aristocrats To peons This will last For eons Universal truth What we on Beyond a phenom When we’re gone Youth got something To keep on A brilliant fool Using tools that’r Exception to the rules Basking in the silence Of a sleeping giant Form an alliance With other artists So the worlds not cathartic We recharge it Moving mountains With the music See I generate a target See what generations started Art of the warrior market I do a show And it's all the way live! I check the news But it's all about lies So I excuse How you're confused Sticking to the Truth that I choose I'm fitting to cruise Right into the night and Follow the moon Sparking a fuse With these views And by the light I'm consumed And by the light I'm consumed Chorus If you never loose you'll never gain Cherish love and pain They will lead you in the right way And one bright day You will see You'll find a truth seeker in me Truth seeker in me Truth seeker in me Written By: Matt Bodi Brenowitz & Rita Ritvin

Easy Days Verse-1 I remember easy days Before the cruel realities Conflicts and all the casualties Whether on salary Unemployed happily Or paid hourly If hard work don't kill It'll reveal strong will Iron lung Getting things done I seal the deal While having fun In the car Music blasting Far from the drama Everlasting Basking in the sun Laughing Get the fuck from under Where your shadows casting Feel the classic flow Fluent in the language of The old sutras Revealer To see clearer The great healer Music It's therapeutic Easy to loose it In the sad mess Just because You rhyme Don't mean You make sense Hence to the whack ness I claim abstinence Getting shit off my chest With out the laxatives Getting paid in happiness Relax and live luminous The catalyst For how I'm doing this Chorus: Come on baby You could take a load off Rock with me We could hit the bar And we could go hard Rock with me Then we'll rock the party We could take off Rock with me And baby we could party all night long Rock with me Rock with me Cause the night is Soo in-vi-ting & rock with me Cause the beat Just fit right in & rock with me Cause the words That I'm writing Enlighten beings With double meanings I'm guaranteeing Seeing Verse-2 Spirits rising Before you're leaving I'm enterprising Feel the rhythm Exercising Lyrical martial arts Kicking over Smooth beat break parts Yup yup We're off to a great start! Why all the confusion It's a mixed up Musical infusion Soothing to listen Using rhythm to Find a suitable solution With the beat bumping I'm stress free Get some free loving But you gotta be Where I can see Dancing next to me Stop fronting Yes you You cutie little munchkin Tell your girls To stop fussing While discussing You and I You say you are shy Who am I? Caught up in this Cutie pie If you'd like Give me a try Why those other guys Get by with those Cheesy lines I guarantee to make your Mood high Ride on the music Take off Let's fly Just you and I Chorus: Come on baby You could take a load off Rock with me We could hit the bar And we could go hard Rock with me Then we'll rock the party We could take off Rock with me And baby we could party all night long Rock with me Rock with me Cause the night is Soo in-vi-ting & rock with me Cause the beat Just fit right in & rock with me Cause the words That I'm writing writing writing Verse 3: She asked just How far I can take it? I said It’ll be as hard as I make it I've never worked harder But it's the art That I'm patient When the times right Turn into an Armored undercover agent I'm that fork in the socket Electrical currents connected Shocking! Never doing what's expected My music's electrocuted So use it To get the fuck up And start to do shit! Every word is double rooted It's well suited That's the beauty That I fuse it Getting lost up in The smoothness Its time to switch it up You're barley Moving loosely Shook Scary movies Shooting Like Israeli Uzi's Who's next To get their Rudeness checked Just loose the Vexed look Or catch my Left hook Ha ha, I'm having fun Can't take nothing from me Receiving invitations From the flyest honey bunnies To the after after party No undies Chorus: Come on baby You could take a load off Rock with me We could hit the bar And we could go hard Rock with me Then we'll rock the party We could take off Rock with me And baby we could party all night long Rock with me Rock with me Cause the night is Soo in-vi-ting & rock with me Cause the beat Just fit right in & rock with me Cause the words That I'm writing Enlighten beings With double meanings I'm guaranteeing Rock with me Cause the night is Soo in-vi-ting & rock with me Cause the beat Just fit right in & rock with me Cause the words That I'm writing Enlighten beings With double meanings I'm guaranteeing Seeing Spirits rising Come on baby You could take a load off Rock with me We could hit the bar And we could go hard Rock with me Then we'll rock the party We could take off Rock with me And baby we could party all night long Rock with me Written By: Matt Bodi Brenowitz & RocNfreeze

Progressive Perspective What I'm gonna talk about I'm sure you won't be able to turn your head Verse 1: The stakes are Steady rising They told me that Life is diamonds But all I see Is the dirt and grime and It's time I started appreciating Life is climbing, striving, surviving I'd say I like to be alive and I'm always rising Take the time to have a laugh Share a little class A goal without a timeline That's just a dream Forward as in motion Emotional roller-coaster I know it's never over Bodizepha remember the name Been here for generations All that was and is yet to stand No exaggeration We are gonna die Who am I? Soaking in the sweat From hustling Plus I remember all the days Plotting just to get a foot in Yea I wanna get that pudding But who doesn't Wouldn't you wanna get it How ironic I talk about it Then I got it Is that logic? Are you aware of the topic or The jewel as I drop it Revealing realness in an instant Wise ears know the difference Chorus: What I'm Speaking Cause the world to Stop sleeping Put your hands up Keep reaching Who will be the one To make the game Even Wake up and let the light Seep in Can't turn your head From the world Leaving Now is the time Right away To get to thrill Seeking Because now… is… just… All there is So I'm jumping in Verse 2: What's real to you Isn't necessarily real to me You feeling me No I'm not sure you're Actually hearing me I'ma break my theory down To each his own Experiences got you On the path you on But we living in the past Projecting that into the future Until you get this There ain't nothing I can do for you The missing element Living inside the present Without it's so irrelevant Celibate mind states Can't penetrate you Virgins to the sunlight Victim of the crime rate Elevate above the Grind and blind hate The world is cruel and beautiful That's what I'm used to In school they never gave me The tools that's really useful Through learning I stay youthful Motivation is sharing the stories That I live through Walk in my shoes Before assuming to have clues Who's who In the sands of time Stepping across the line they drew And who to listen to Under the sun There's one thing new Do you Until you get this for yourself There's nothing new Passing judgment Gets a fuck you Nothing to loose Except you Accept you Accept you. Chorus: What I'm speaking Cause the world To stop sleeping Put your hands up Keep reaching Who will be the one To make the game even Wake up and let the light seep in I said it makes no difference who you are Wake up and let the light seep in I said it makes no difference who you are Let the light seep in I said it makes no difference who you are Let the light seep in Or what color you happen to be Verse 3: So what's a bullet If you're not afraid of dying Take it My situations just as fucked up As I choose to make it You wanna battle who's Experiences where more tragic A fanatic Feeding off the static Enigmatic, that's a riddle Standing in the middle Mistakes they can be fatal Passing them down prenatal Erratically visions surface Sinking in pity No purpose, so worthless Wasted words With which what was Rather than what's next Bodizepha I'm a suspect Wanted for killing time While opening minds With a subject You ain't touched yet I'm retrospective Aggressive incentives Progressive perspective Chorus: What I'm speaking Cause the world To stop sleeping Put your hands up Keep reaching Who will be the one To make the game even Wake up and let the light seep in I said it makes no difference who you are Wake up and let the light seep in I said it makes no difference who you are Let the light seep in I said it makes no difference who you are Wake up and let the light seep in Or what color you happen to be And let the light seep in I'm sure you won't be able to turn your head Written by: Matt Bodi Brenowitz

Timeless 03:26
Timeless Verse -1 Them na want me In the school system I'd teach them real wisdom What they gonna do With a bunch of Wise children? Like holes to fill in Can't rape the willing Brain cells they killing Scape goat the villains Society crying and dying Asking why Standing idly by To the sky Starring at the dawn This song the magic wand And when I'm gone They'll try and Confine the limitless Refine the remnants Define the sentiment Re-assign the benefits Messing with the messages Incline the mind-less Mainstream to find this Time-less Treasure chest Evidence of cleaver-ness Bodizepha represent Last breath regrets Never as good as it gets Till I'm dead Twisted in the same spot Un-earth the grave plot Under worth-ed and under feed And I can't stop Speaking of all the things You might have thought But never said Chorus: Walking down the street Looking at the sky Walking down the street Smog in the eyes Verse 2: Slow mo Moving through bureaucracy That's so old And out dated Stop hating I'm a proud maven Saving a haven From them dark ravens We paving a way To break through In life, no take two Tremendous skills starting it Aggressively pursuing targets Investing in repressive markets Sinking Regardless what you're thinking Never tuff decisions Stardust inscriptions Word is bond Enough wishing Since birth I'm blessed But connected to the curse Business unfinished on earth Broken promises diminish worth What's worse? Lack of discipline Knowing means nothing Assuming everyone Is doing something Dead before inception Setting up A new connection Focusing the question In tuned to the rhythm Giving my impressions Here's the biz Re-defining the plot Underlining what it is While undermining what it's not Chorus: Walking down the street Looking at the sky Walking down the street Smog in the eyes Verse 3: Done pretending I'm investing time In sessions Inventing Parallel dimensions Self-defeating prophecies Deceiving me Illusions with consistency An individual Subject to ridicule Accept it as The way I live I'm sick of screaming Taking life for what it is With out adding meaning Seems minimal but critical Awareness An essential evolution Potential, revels in collaboration Clearing smog Reaching new levels Dealing in precious metals Healing infections devils Feeling trust disheveled My soul rebel active Valiant efforts tragic Nations out of balance Using talents to construct Creative transformation Agent for emancipation Climbing towards a tipping point Insight & reason Leaning towards The mood to listen Soon to be My intuition Clarity In the mirror Stands my reality The most daring plan In humanity Chorus: Walking down the street Looking at the sky Walking down the street Smog in the eyes Written By: Matt Bodi Brenowitz

A New Beginning Verse 1: Girl you got my Soul singing I've been waiting For a new beginning Many things That I was missing Wishing in due time Turn pain into innovation I look to you for inspiration The way you move My muse You fuse How it used to be To living life That's new to me Your eyes Poetry in motion Windows of devotion Wide open Quoting love songs To keep you hoping It'll last forever Fearing it won’t Really ready Still willing To take the plunge Jump into the unknown For the sake of love I'd be a fool Not to share this Fun with you Connected at the hip Since we met eyes Beautiful and wise. Verse 2: It's those Subtle clues minimal Giving me strength From ridicule Our bond is indivisible My truth is an integral Exception to the ridicule A breaking from the usual Seeking something suitable You ask me if you’re beautiful The answer is a steady yes Your fly-ness tremendous Your hair, your dress Your lips, your breasts Loathing all my loneliness Holding this harmonious Connection Soaking in Songs of redemption Soul rebel Growing as hurt settles Seeming you release My inner beast Your passion pulls My heart stings Love you even when Your farts stink Sink into that inner peace To which you reach Verse 3: I see your face When my eyes close You'll be the one That I chose Haters try To stifle what I know So it's vital I stay Hiking the high road So easy to Get caught up in jealousy Don't worry You telling me Still I hate starving for Attention it's ill Committing felonies Kill enemies For all your energy To fill my memories Not many In the way that I will In the way that I will You're my Partner in crime That's down to ride As we rise above The ties that bind Color blind To the color lines Flipping under covers Quickly undercover lover Licking on your sexy skin Let me in I'm an eager pleaser As I go deeper Find the truth In your smooth features The reason I live You're my undisputable Motivation to remember The most beautiful word If it were true Would be forever Written By: Matt Bodi Brenowitz

Profit You mean you didn't know about What was going on? You mean you didn't see The right commit the wrong? You mean you didn't care? What you never like ah ah ah ah ah Verse 1: Into a system Set to fail Planned obsoletion Miss leading resources Disconnected from the people An evil put to trap and hold back 3 dollars for water? Fuck that! How they gonna charge For what was given Privatize the world In which we're living Call me a menace I take it grinning False sense of independence Got me spinning Wishing it wasn't so Dependent on economies Money market hypocrisies Stocks and guns No one's doing shit I'm not the only one Slave to my income World bank The monatizer Scheme deviser Feeding off None the wiser Financial sodomizer You and I Are not the driver Dead ghost riders Deniers & freedom fighters Misers and 25 to lifers Force feed by liars Sidewinders Same old one liner Waiting for the world to change Sand timer running low Now flip it over go! Chorus: You mean you didn't know about What was going on? You mean you didn't see The right commit the wrong? You mean you didn't care? What you never liked You mean you didn't know about What was going on? You mean you didn't see The right commit the wrong? You mean you didn't care? What you never liked Verse 2: Start doing done hoping This that shit to Get your eyes open Rise quoting Lyrics smoking Lies choking Revolutions bring demise Soaking in a divine notions Feeding off the land And the natural oceans Feel it down To my core Siphon off the source I'm what you've been waiting for Score, I'm all yours Energy is an infinite distinction I seed and sprout and new beginning Living out the coolest mission I'm just doing me Disregard your lack of listening What we started Someones finishing Envisioning futures That we're living I'm a dream catcher With a complex Schemers hatching nonsense Clogging up the flow through Obsessing over things to do Why don't we listen To what we know is true Through my spirit I hear it and notice you I know you feel it But don't wanna be The first to do it, right? I'll be the one to break the ice Release the fear That keeps us tight Chorus: You mean you didn't know about What was going on You mean you didn't see The right commit the wrong You mean you didn't care What you never liked You mean you didn't know about What was going on You mean you didn't see The right commit the wrong You mean you didn't care What you never liked >>> like ah ah ah ah ah Verse 3: Hypocrites they shade the light My lungs I'm lending for the fight This is fun and I'm still young So why not Do what's right? As easy as doing nothing This is worth discussing Material lusting Combusting Back to imperial dustings New wars Destroy and start construction The things We never had That we don't even Know to miss The greed is built in Guaranteed to fail When profit is the Holy Grail No chance of getting Out of debt Send me home with No respect The tables turn I burn my checks They're systems old and rotten Technology for the soul From top to bottom Gone but not forgotten Got me rocking Making vacant space Saving face An infection laced with venom Seen optimistic pretending Depressing me Until I realized I'm the sign of the times Bodizepha blurring lines Spear heading progression With my mind as my weapon I'm shinning from heaven John Lennon Chorus: You mean you didn't know about What was going on? You mean you didn't see The right commit the wrong? You mean you didn't care? What you never liked? You mean you didn't know about What was going on? You mean you didn't see The right commit the wrong? You mean you didn't care? What you never liked? Written By: Matt Bodi Brenowitz & Level

You Coming With? Man, it's a new day and age I've been so patient Things are changing fast Sometimes you've got to See things in the third person Just to put it in perspective So many different ways to go Man, I know which way I'm going But, what I wanna know is You coming with? Verse 1: You coming with? This is history Nowadays it’s tricky To know who's Sticking with me Selective demographic picky Delegate responsibility No shifty iffy lames Riding with me I prefer Collective grinding In perfect timing Get it done With the quickness In terms of my condition Perfection is a sick-ness My case worsen Co-ersing 3rd person Perspectives Genetics mixed With calisthenics Photographic memories Combust in magnetic Energy I trust by design I'm inclined with Telepathic tendencies Actively defying gravity That's just a taste Of my alchemy No-name status Elevated Sticking with it Practice made it holographic Neo-classic under-rated That is Until disseminated. Chorus: Paving my own road Is all that matters to me It's easier to follow A well-traveled road That's not the way I go So are you coming with? Verse_2 New media's flooded With the copy cat Wack-ness With a few pragmatic Sharp cactus Rap factions I be the latter I'm a rappers rapper Thinking out the square box I'm oval My flow cash crops Rare opal bare rocks Vocal with my Make a change mind frame Non-stop, ingrained When my cause is greater Than my personal gain A favor for a favor I seen my people struggling I say a little brain A little muscling Trying to get my Russel on Simmons Till I'm gone My grand hustle on Build a brand winning Withstand the Winter freeze Even through I stay scorching Sell the sizzle Not the steak Awake my alias Vicariously living Through my sound scape I'll take you where The ground shakes Quick before you Call it quits I hope you Listen deep Past riches My movements Well connected Respected like M J’s Last wishes. Chorus: Paving my own road Is all that matters to me It's easier to follow A well-traveled road That's not the way I go So are you coming with? Verse 3: Really it's an honor Being a first responder On-lookers waiting Re-acting to the popular I'm a videographer Literally capturing The obvious Legitimate predictions Showing ominous So get on this Heroic consciences Confidence breeds character Reconnaissance gatherer From ammeter to on tour Check my Stoic opulence Say it louder Like you're selling it Projecting dominance No stopping this Power shift What's missing? Substance A means to share it To lift awareness A flow that's careless In all fairness If you’re confused Check dictionary This is revelation rap I can't loose I'm over-coming Your assumptions I'm not Kid Rock Or the Chief Rocka Bodizepha I'm the tree monster You never know Who's next to blow Plant seeds grow Forever bringing Grand endeavors. Chorus: Paving my own road Is all that matters to me It's easier to follow A well-traveled road That's not the way I go So are you coming with? Written By: Matt Bodi Brenowitz & Sarai Howard

American Dreaming Verse 1: I’m waking while Living in dreams Find a vacant space To let my brain soak Being that quote I spoke That's the meaning of dope Walking tight ropes Scheming heathens With mirrors and smoke Try confusing the Realness I wrote Smoke fire to ash Desires will past Want it all  But will it all last? Still I grind Investing time Like I own it But it's not mine I wake repeating melodies Dreaming of future memories Possibilities create results Lighting bolts with Inner sight See a whisper On a winter night With a little light Take a picture That's life. Chorus: American Dream The American We living the American Dream The American Dream The American Dream Verse 2 I've been blessed With tragedies That mold a man When tested got a Steady hand You say I can't I say I can Executing plans Representing sturdy land Opening doors Taking a stand Yet to reach 5 hundred grand A hundred thousand Million fans like the Son of Sam Form into A grain of sand Situated where I'm sitting Looking like a Prime position To win it big Through crates we picking Listening to Greatest hits we dig Creating lists What to accomplish On different topics Kicking ass and Staying modest That’s the hardest Part of being a Lyrical martial artist Running up in the Deadly zone Set it right Sacrificing sleepless nights. Chorus: American dream The American dream We living the American dream The American dream We got the American dream The American dream We living the American dream The American dream Verse 3: I see my ego receding That's my point of view The appointed few That's needed To be the new leaders See it too Taking a ride Out of my mind Evicted Places only Few can find No signs telling distance That fine line Is still a misprint? Between what’s yours and mine Scheming up some mischief I keep my eyes open Sleeping That's a luxury Funny how the Ladies love me When I'm living comfortably Money never made me So I'm never Falling suddenly And even at the Bottom The earth still under me Coming up struggling Drumming up a hustle Was timid Now The limits I'm pushing So vivid I live it.
