come take a walk with your soul from E. King St. to Abbey Road thought in prose than flip flopped to poems magnetic it seems how rhythm precedes word and pervades through dreams no schemes or line plots my brothers in all colors and speak in all tongues all birthed from one mother lands far and wide been seeded with styles deep rooted you'll see when you believe it this ain't no - break or bend rap we Booker T bootstrap tough bundle up, it's Winter in America watch the sunset from coast to coast then call up my brothers to propose a toast before we get to the grit where we needed the most on the blocks with the future where we school the kids think critical we all indivduals each one teach one the force is centrifugal

from the depths of our souls pain like the thorns of a rose rise from the ashes like a phenix let the sun be your zenith sing a simple song, like doe - rae - me let your people sound off 1 - 2 - 3 spend a lil dough in black communities now we got a good lesson let's all get free who dare come along and wanna change our song let the drums sound off bong bong bong gather all the queens and round up the kings we alone write the words to the songs we sing sing a simple song, like doe - rae - me let your people sound off 1 - 2 - 3 spend a lil dough in brown communities now we got a good lesson let's all get free who dare come along and wanna change our song let the drums sound off bong bong bong gather all the queens and round up the kings we alone write the words to the songs we sing mother clap hands sisters clap hands fathers clap hands brothers claps hands

about

This EP is a collection of instrumentals, poems, and rhymes, which reflect my thoughts and feelings at the current time. The most accurate description of this record would be that it is a representation of the struggle (in a lighter sense of the word) to express that which is aestically pleasing but also a work which contains moral character. Style and substance, so to speak.

"Beneath the Sun" is a short poem on the inter-relation of all that is. The instrumental, "Fly Handle", follows that with a similar message - one of understanding and the urge for dialouge amongst ourselves. "Forward Progress", takes the listener on a story to observe rapping as what it truely is - an evolution in rhythmic word, beginning with West African griots, who were historians, storytellers, and musicians by birth. "Jungle Gym", takes a more "convential" approach to emceeing, employing a forward thought process - style and substance.

"People's Chant" is a childrens sing/song rhyme about fostering community strength:

Sing a simple song like do-rae-me
let the people sound out, One - Two - Three
spend a little dough in the Black community,
now we've got a good lesson, let's all get free

>It also then speaks to the right to determine ones own destiny:

Who dare come along and want to change our song
let the drums sound off - Bong, Bong, Bong
gather up the queens and round up the kings
we alone write the words to the songs we sing

I hope you can enjoy.

- Bruce
