Smashing Demons

You know that it would be untrue.
I’ve thought aloud now for quite some time.
There’s been plenty of times I like to speak my mind.
Cos Fredee B aint afraid to set things straight,
I push the demons aside so I can concentrate.
Sit back and meditate, set to re-educate.
I find the ledge, I know the ledge, I don’t discriminate.
Cos the future’s here it’s plain to see,
We conceive, we create then we set it free.
Spread the roots, feed the fire, rid your mind of desire.
And don’t take shit from the ones who claim they’re higher.
We’re all crew, I’m tellin’ you, it’s true,
From mineral to Animal to me and you.
If I could I’d be a cat so I can scratch my back,
Rolling round in the sun on the hot tarmac.
But I rid my desires following my own advice,
Cos there aint nowt better than your own fucking life.
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[ha – ha – ha]
So take hold stand strong don’t be afraid to get it wrong.
As long as you stand true, I’ll keep on writing these songs.
Cos the world still needs more positivity,
More humility and more possibilities.
Cos if we just let all the greed succeed,
We’ll fuck up what the last generation has freed.
I’m talking privacy and basic human rights,
They sit and watch and make money on those who bleed for life.
There aint much fair but if you just don’t care,
The shit that you hate is always gonna be there.
So, re-arrange it aint so strange.
I believe that everybody has the power to change.
Not just yourselves or the things that you are close to,
Like Fredee B you change the world cos your supposed to.
Life aint about getting richer…
Try to relax and let your mind see the complete picture.
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[ha – ha – ha]
And try to set the night on fire….
And though the world in which we live remains a blues crib,
I know that I’ll do just what my father did.
Pave a way for the future, concentrate on the youth,
Keep on shining when your government are hiding the truth.
Cos you can’t fuckin’ keep a good man down.
I’ll keep on shouting my shit as I walk through the town.
I’m Fredee B you can’t fade me I’ll just keep spitting for free.
As long as I keep thinking I’ll have new phiiosophies,
About the world we live and its atrocities,
There’re no apologies……
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[Yo I could never, no I could never]
Be untrue.
[ha – ha – ha]
And try to set the night on fire….
And try to set the night on fajadjaaaah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Get It For Free

Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha –
Wooooooaaaaaaaahh!
I flow like water on the brain of a hysterical mind
I have the answers to the problems to resolve mankind
I am a thought junky - I’ve hooked myself to my dreams
My extra senses keep me vigil as I’m leaving the scene
And ESP - is certainly - my capability
It’s such a good thing that I get it for free
And though my days come filled with calamity
It’s still a good thing that I get it for free
I get it for free,
You know I get it for free.
I get it for free,
You know I get it for free.
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
Because we get it for free,
You know we get it for free.
We get it for free,
Oh yeah, we get it for free.
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha – Ha
What you say now?
Ha – Ha – Ha -
Wooooooaaaaaaaahh!
So what I say is give it up and let your mind lead the way.
And let the night transpose itself into a new day.
Come walk with me a while - we’ll go paint the town,
We’ll go at night when it is quiet and theres no-one around.
Except the tramp across the street maybe we’ll give him a pound,
And watch our pathways broaden out as the new places are found.
Now I know the thought of this may seem abominable,
But the dreams within our minds are so achievable.
And cos personalities are so adaptable,
It makes the thought of cheating life seem so admirable,
Even adorable.
Why?
Because we get it for free,
We get it for free.
We get it for free,
You know we get it for free.
Because we get it for free,
You know we get it for free.
We get it for free,
You know we get it for free.
And ESP - is certainly - my capability,
It’s such a good thing that we get it for free.
And though our days come filled with calamity,
It’s still a good thing that we get it for free.
You know we get it for free.
We get it for free,
Aaahhh yeah, we get it for free.
Because we get it for free,
You know we get it for free.
We get it for free,
You know we get it for free.
We live a fable,
Because we are able.

No Fear
04:03

Huh!
No Fear, No Fear, No Fear
Huh!
No Fear, No Fear, No Fear
Huh!
No Fear, No Fear, No Fear
Huh!
There comes a time in your life when things come clear,
This whole world revolves around our deepest fears.
My fears enter intentionally disguised as love and hate,
For my fears are the people who decide my fate.
What’s happened to our freedom? We have been taken over,
We intoxicate ourselves while the God’s stay sober.
Crowd control, drugs for all, fed to the nation so they can watch us fall.
But how long will it last before we quench our fears?
Cos all we’re doing now is counting dried up tears.
Our innocence lost since the day we first spoke,
A return to innocence we can only hope.
I don’t need a memory; memories bring me grief.
My God took my mother I should kick him in the teeth.
A life of confusion, there is so many ideals.
Some of us have religion, some of us high heels.
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Give me the mic and I will make it right.
The idiot box feeds us full of shit.
We return from 9 till 5 just to take our evening hit.
The control freaks lead us but I’m sure they fear us too.
If they let us lead our own lives, what job would they then do?
I feel like a rebel, but I’m stuck in the system,
Money is still important, and I never stop wishing.
Hook line and sinker, caught up in patchwork dreams.
But always wanting more like the cat who got the cream.
But they forgot to mention curiosity killed the cat,
The cat got the cream and then he got fat.
Rat – a – tat – tat – heart attack.
That’s the sound of a machine gun as the heart hits the sack.
A test for all who step in the path,
If you don’t step back, you must suffer the wrath.
This feels like a prison but what was my conviction?
I was merely born and now I’m face with addiction.
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Give me the mic and I will make it right.
A dream lies in the gutter whilst a nightmare saunters by.
I turn to face the nightmare so I can look her in the eye.
A facial look of sorrow, her eyes tell of dismay.
If there’s a God out there, he’ll push forward judgement day.
Waiting is for patient people, I’m a man of the now.
I’d surely escape yo….. If I only knew how…. If I only knew how.
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Gotta flow by, gotta flow by so high,
Give me the mic and I will make it right.

One Man Celebrates
06:30

Ah che caldo che fa
In questa città.
Andrò in giro a cercare
Qualcosa de fare.
Lo voglio… ballare.
Fajadja come through no stress…..
Straight blessed…..
One man celebrates his life,
It’s rife out there but I’ll roll with the strife.
Give five to the homeless guys on the dyke,
No shite that’s right yo I kick it with the tramps all night.
Don’t fight cos I never had to.
I’ve always been backed by a hardcore crew.
I’d name a few if it weren’t for the screws,
Cos I can’t fuckin’ stand those fuckin’ blues.
In they’re jam sandwich carriage they ride,
Creep through the night with the smoky sight.
Lurking tight for a fine that’s right,
And frightening folk that are on they’re bikes with no lights,
No rights, they make us apologise
But I shouldn’t say sorry cos I shouldn’t have to.
I’m a man and the life I lead I choose.
So don’t bother me with these rules you fools,
I’ve done years of school just to learn these tools of the trade
That I’m using every day
It’s ok if I don’t get fucking payed,
It’s great if I don’t get fucking laid,
I ride the pace and just go create.
Money and dates can wait for fate,
I’m late for a gig that starts at eight.
I’m gonna rock the place, spit in the face,
Get drunk and stoned like a fuckin’ disgrace.
Fat neck, fat lace cos I got the taste,
Rhyme styles enhancing the musical taste, it’s ace.
It’s the dream I chose.
I rose to the skies cos I followed my nose,
And heart and my guts and my legs and my head,
Unless I’m sat there chilling in my bed.
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life.
Ba dah Bah
Ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba -
Ba – baaaah –
Ba – da – da -
Ba – ba – ba.
HEY – HEY - HEY - HEY – HEY – HEY - HEY
One man, one mind, one soul.
That’s right I’ve got it all
And I’m not afraid to use it I’m warning you sonny,
Wipe away the smirk cos it ain’t that funny.
Yo I checked myself and straight wrecked myself,
Done mostly really bad things for my health.
Even wet meself in Piccadily Gardens
Had a bloody fit when a bit retardin’
Woke up in an ambulance with a fuckin’ hard on,
Fucking flares and a Nike wind cheater,
Kicking dope styles with my fresh new sneakers,
Trilby hat from the vintage dealers,
Cheap as chips don’t need to steal her.
I don’t carry guns just potato peelers,
And my best choccy biccy is a wagon wheel sir.
That’s right I try – to always be polite,
But I can’t help losing my temper
If you don’t give back what I already lent ya.
Thick in the head like you got dementia.
Can’t remember if you ever meant to,
It’s quite alright cos Karma fights
To tip the scales if it gets too light.
Must take the weight, control the balance,
Do mis en place for my next big challenge.
Like a Viking trying to get to Valhalla,
Sword in hand I require no master.
Chopping up the pasta – Sacralege!
Like putting my butter back in the fridge.
I keep it room temp like a Kit–Kat that is that.
Don’t need no chit–chat put it back.
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life.
Ba dah Bah
Ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba -
Ba – baaaah –
Ba – da – da -
Ba – ba – ba.
Ah che caldo che fa
In questa città.
Andrò in giro a cercare
Qualcosa de fare.
Lo voglio… ballare.
Ah! Lo voglio cantare
Prepotentemente.
E gridare spruzzare
Collori alla gente
E stare vicino
Ma andare lontano
Ride the pace and just go create.
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life,
One man celebrates his life.
Ba dah Bah
Ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba – ba -
Ba – baaaah –
Ba – da – da -
Ba – ba – ba.
