Mistah Red
[Intro: Adrian Mitchell]
Everytime I shut my eyes all I see is flames
[Verse 1: Syred]
If somebody asked, "what does music mean to me"?
I'd probably laugh and just assume it was easy to see
I'd probably dance, to prove that its deep within me
nah fuck it, I'd ask, "what do you think it means to me?"
What do you think it means to be so in tune with the beat
that every second, minute and hour you're rehearsing repeatedly?
spittin' verses so frequently, that when people try'n speak you just keep
on talking in rhyme syncing your words to a beat (so see)
It's more than just a fashion or passionate way of life
it' is more than a warm dinner, plate, spoon, fork or a knife
it is purely the sole reason I'm breathing it's like,
the instruments are my oxygen and I'm speaking in carbon-dioxide
and it's like, every-time that I write,
all I have to do is breathe and then it's time to recite,
feeling like the time is right that I try to demonstrate
exactly what happens as I decide to hyperventilate
1,2,3 Let's Go!
[Hook: Syred]
Jump, jump, jump, jump
jump, jump, everybody now
jump, jump, jump, jump
jump, jump, jump and again
Jump, jump, jump, jump
jump, jump, come on just
jump, jump, jump
jump, j-j-j, j-j-jump
[Verse 2: Syred]
When I work like this, it hurts my ribs, my breathing rate increases
taking pieces of the puzzle as I muddle to struggle to
try to find out what the purpose is,
amongst this deeply shallow earth as if I'm a scuba diver
using lighters just to find my way home - there's no chance
no safe zone - just faux pas, that go underneath the radar
flow in-between the safe-guard, give no other people a chance
to follow a dream they wanna believe that one day they may have a chance
of fulfilling, but that's just living,
life's unfair and that's been clear from the beginning
isn't winning something everybody's always trying to achieve?
I mean, Darwin proved his theory now its clear we must succeed

Redbird
[Intro: Adrian Mitchell]
I was run over by the truth one day
ever since the accident I've walked this way
[Verse 1: Syred]
Every morning,
I wake up thinking it,
and so do you..
Every morning when I walk to work, I wonder the same thing
am I my just another fish salmon in the same stream
I don't wanna be mainstream, I wanna swim off-course
but money's the motivation, so we follow the rules
Polish off floors to try to get some respect
but who really respect the man who gets his hands wet
not me, not now not ever
you've got to be thick-skinned, yet hide leather
So never compromise yourself for another man's wealth
offer a another man help, but understand he'll
end up trying to take advantage of the fact that you're not doing it
yourself like, your just some food up on the shelf
Where he can pay the price, take a bite and use you for his health
and that's when you should ask yourself are you the tuna or the melt?
yeah, would you be the dealer or the dealt?
are you the leader or the sheep that wants to be somebody else?
Go on,
ask your self, do you wanna to be somebody else?
or just tell me how you felt,
cause I think you need some help
I said tell me how you felt,
cause if you felt like I was digging' then it's clear you need some help
you're gonna need a ladder, a jack and the belt
and buckle up as I lift you right out of your self
So be true to who you are,
or just listen closely
The Sound of truth is a deep tone, sub-note from Lowkey,
although these wise words spoke in no key
there's a similar theme of rhyme, rhythm and poetry
though these syllables beats bars and lyrics supposedly
Holding me together whether or I'm bottom or top
to tell the truth I'm only level headed whenever
I'm getting the balance right soon as it's flipped on its side
I start doubting myself, asking me if I'm right
And that's a frightening position when you're so righteous at times
let no opinion cloud your vision and don't listen to any advise, I
wonder if my arrogance will make me
take me to the top, take control and then break me
down to the ground, further than I've been before
or will it just makes me stronger like a king with a sword
[Hook: Syred]
I've been here before, but never so aware has my head been?
see an unopened mind just seeks closed answered questions
I've been here before, but never so aware has my head been?
see an unopened mind just seeks closed answered questions
[Verse 2: Syred]
Yeah,
If an unopened mind just seeks closed answered questions,
Well, I guess then I'm destined to question my existence
because my mind is a parachute that will carry you for the distance
shadow you from the friction, battle through the resistance
grapple the shackles they wrap round your ankles and a attack with my diction
See wisdom is not something which you can claim to preach
it's just, part of your brain which gets conveyed in the speech
it's like a pain relief, through your veins in leaks
on anybody who tries to bite the hand it stains the cheek
There is no, karma, fate or luck, superstition or was meant to be
just the way you are to cast reflections on your destiny
and that's not prewritten just influenced by your decisions,
the risks you take, the rules you break, choices you make
And if and when you decide to accept yourself
'cause see the way you treat others is just reflection of self
these are my thoughts and my feelings, they are not wrong, they're not right
but right now if they make sense to you then you should decide
[Bridge: Syred]
See I feel like I understand life a little better now
like every things come to this and it's clever how

RedRam lake
[Intro: Rick Levine]
It's Aries, the ram, get it? The Ram!
We're, we're always pushing into someplace new
you, Aries are the dynamic fire starters, it' a fire sign.
In astrological terms fire means action
so Aries are hot-blooded, warm-hearted
and they're pushing into new places
whether they should be there or not!
[Chorus: Caitlin Stubbs]
In too deep to notice things are closest
ocular dependent and I'm losing my focus
this road is hopeless, suppose I should know this
I seem to cast a light my fire is smokeless
Too deep to notice things are closest
ocular dependent and I'm losing my focus
this road is hopeless, suppose I should know this
I seem to cast a light my fire is smokeless
[Verse 1: Syred]
I feel alleviation with the turn if the year
yet incarceration as I'm burdened with fear
with the fact that going back to my 9 - 5
only to leave my creativity behind
Set my passion aside, just so I can get by?
know I was born to lead the life that I was given behind
I was born to be a teacher, man I'm sworn to be a preacher
such adaptable features Aries a natural leader
[Voice-over: Rick Levine]
And that is one of Aries strengths,
to be a pioneer, an initiator, a trailblazer
but one of the challenges of aries,
is to avoid burning down the whole forest
See the ambition, in the colour, of the cloth I wear
and the blood that courses through my veins stains my porcelain brain
the cartridges of my cranium, now that my fingers are aching
I'm so sick of writing lyrics, so the pictures I'll keep painting them
The reincarnation, of emancipation,
This is for anybody acting like the trapped in a cage
or for when anybody's feeling like the feeling with rage
or for those still real to kill the social enslavement
Because the way that we go on, with the way that we conform,
plus the way that we persuade the people stay and lead along
the same path as everybody else is slowly wearing thin,
truth is near his is destination and he's checking in
[Chorus: Caitlin Stubbs]
[Voice-over: Rick Levine]
And if an Aries gets obnoxious,
it's often because they're not considering
what someone else thinks, or what someone else feels
you look at some of the, you know 'well known'
Aries that have gone before us
Leonardo Da Vinci, was a real trail blazer
[Jeff Jawer]
And a trouble maker!
[Verse 2: Syred]
Ever since day one they could see I was trouble
ever since I started to question my own peace to this puzzle
people would always stop and say "Louie you need to be careful
because in this life, you could drown in a puddle!"
So I pulled my finger out I'd point to the plughole
and if they tried to bend it back, well then I'd prove I was supple
couple lessons I've learned, mistakes I've made I hate, but above all
there is always more to be earned, the harder you struggle
Hubble bubble toil and trouble which which is which?
do all these questions have answers or am I just digging a ditch
I stitch myself up, whenever I open up,
so am I afraid of being heard or not being heard enough?
Hubble bubble toil and trouble which which is which?
do all these questions have answers or am I just digging a ditch
I stitch myself up, whenever I open up,
so am I afraid of being heard or not being heard enough?
[Chorus: Caitlin Stubbs]
[Outro: Rick Levine]
When an Aries is pushing into a new place,if there's something in the way
rather than negotiating, standing back or figuring out
often the Aries will just push harder and sometimes that means conflict

RedSky at Night
[Intro: Syred]
They say some things, are better left unsaid
but sometimes you just need to approach your angle,
through somebody else's head, so now you now how I see
Kwame, tell 'em how you be! Yeah
[Verse 1: Kwame Ayisi]
TBC
[Chorus: Syred]
Say good morning to the world, good night to the past life
au revoir to yesterday, ce noir is our night
this moment is my time, je ce qu'il faut
salute to the future, cause I'll get what I want
Say good morning to the world, good night to the past life
au revoir to yesterday, ce noir is our night
this moment is my time, je ce qu'il faut
salute to the future, cause I'll get what I want
[Bridge: Syred]
They say a red sky at night, that's a shepherd's delight
Syred sky in the morning that's a shepherds warning
That the red ram's rising, writing cyphers, storming..
out standing in his field, forcing sheep from conforming
[Verse 2: Syred]
The other half of a granddaughter to a man who went too soon
by the sounds of the stories I hear this man was a blue moon
with his poetry I read, I see this man was in true tune
with his enemies and his family and his world is now surrounding me
So look down you'll see, I'm proud to be carrying your torch your legacy
if you're letting me we never met but we apparently share similarities
and it will challenge me, as I attempt to be
even half the man, that you went to be
So do what you will, find a friend in me
I will relay your message, just send it me
(Adrian) I said, do what you will, find a friend in me
I will relay your message, just send it me
The younger sibling to a man, that will do whatever he can
to ensure his little brother will conjure up all the fan
base that he deserves, that he has worked for
but hold that thought, you are a soldier holding the fort
you are the king of the castle I shall half my crown with
and whenever I'm getting ahead of myself keep me grounded
foundation of my future, closest link to my past
as there's no time at the present my gift to you is my art
because in truth, on my own, I'm as brittle as a bottle thrown
but you, alone, you're stronger than the cobblestone
the colder keeps the warmth and on the flame that won't stay hot alone
control me before I burn out, from you I think I can learn how to say
[Chorus: Syred]
