lyrics

Verse 1-Mexichron:
No creepin C.E we chargin through the fog spittin this digital dialogue
analog analyze & log it the critical Mexican barrio raised criminal
expand attention span that’s minimal what cha in it fo?
Street life edict the way that some live subjected ta the predators wit no predicate
national debt & y’all need ta peep the deficit how ya livin isn’t irrelevant
mental anguish decipher distinguish fate of the world we cookin up a new dish
not dope for the fiendish brain food ital eats fat beats & rhymes C.E bring this disc bring awareness
for those livin careless soundin sweet hip hop candy ear treats like candy at your store pon da corner
undaground dope sound all crew not just the stoner stench in the air & anarchy be thee aroma
we stopping forest choppin pollutin rivers, oceans & air wit they toxins

Tanasa Ras-till then..

Hook-Mexichron:
We play the background I man never back down
roots raga dance hall hear it in surround sound
blended wit hip-hop cultured in the underground
in your city or your mountain town mic in our hands not gonna put it down
mic in our hands not gonna put it down but we still hold it down

Verse 2-Biggie Wiggs:
I’m a never back down Rastafari wear the crown & den unify the people red white yellow black & brown
to the roots man beat we all come ta get down whether you’re from uptown or downtown
everybody come gather round the sound cuz we wanna be Zion bound burning collie by da pound
Collective Elements is righteous brotherhood with these mics in our hands we do the highest good
singing songs of freedom so the message is understood
blazin fire raise your consciousness higher bringin the sound so hot that you start to perspire
I’m electric a real live wire spit revolutionary lyric ta uplift an inspire
Collective Elements we neva play the background headed ta the higher heights
headed to the higher ground Collective Elements the champion sound

Hook-Mexichron

Verse 3-Tanasa Ras:
I never put the mic down cuz it shines from inside me
all past life of ancient rivers knowledge stand beside me
can’t be taken lightly can’t be taken lightly we ignite the light in thee for all of we to see
our style is free for ourselves to be who we otta be can’t be taken lightly this here be the family
collected through C.E manifesting consciously
don’t you try to step to me with your inward battle outwardly
you cowardly try to latch on we

Verse 4-Ate 21:
When I step into the booth Ate 21 is reppin truth I’m just a sleuth lookin for clues
outta this quagmire I’m shleppin through I gotta do this for the ignorant & voiceless
if you’re not in the choir come step inside see what the noise is
my boy is growin up quick can’t idle & sit cuz time will just slip
if I could just get the roots to grab the rock then I can never stop so I can never stop
give it all I got to spread ta many generations pacing racing in my mind
to find a better way of life for me & all the tribe with pen & pad I am the scribe
vibe to the beat every connection is complete and now I’m locked into the signal of the source & I am just a channel
never seek defeat of course the force can be a little too much to handle like a candle in the wind an inspiration dwindles
positive thoughts descend so reflections are resurrected community paradigm shifts
the load is lighter when everyone lifts

Verse 5-Mexichron:
C.E build a righteous legacy contact contract tourin for da currency
alert da global threat this a worldly emergency raise the roof revill heavenly astronomy
sun planet moon & stars intertwine universally over continents city block spot your local geology
a takeover of Babylon game of life iz monopoly
enslave humanity a cyber world of tricknology
we livin in prophecy
