Verse One: it was a long long time ago in a galaxy called Cee Know where a brother with the cosmic flow who despite all obstacles learned how to grow his brand from the ground up and make his own dough even tho the haters tried to hold a brother down I broke the glass ceiling trying to reach my higher ground now I'm vibrating on a whole other level feeling myself trying to reach my full potential big ups to Marchitect the funky instrumentals got me in a zone with like minded individuals who view the world through 120 visuals where self reliance is not the hypothetical but the everyday standard operational where competition is strictly motivational and the will to win is literally unshakeable return of the cosmic funk its not debatable VERSE TWO: now as we travel a little deeper through the wormhole to give you a taste of the freaky freaky rhyme flow that's induced by the sticky icky indo that we copped on that road trip to Reno (woah) now it got me dropping mad coin in casinos sipping on cointreau feeling like Pacino mob mentality Rest In Peace to Prodigy its hip hop forever anything less is blasphemy my rhyme family deals in rhyme alchemy turn shit to sugar and trash talk to poetry these cocksuckers be acting like they know me but never walked a day in my shoes they so phony got love for my day ones and homies the rest of y'all industry groupies can just blow me (haaa) this is cosmicfunkentelechy so I aint hearing none of dat bullshit y'all telling me...im outer space

Locals 03:15
VERSE ONE I think globally act locally I deal with social media but mostly anti socially hopefully my past sins won’t come back to haunt me but Karma is a bitch and her mean streak is deadly so ready or not I’m ready to plot sum brand new schemes to get my youngins off the block let’s get it... Verse it’s funky funky funky cuz you heard it from me see the way the beats bang in the speakers is like therapy it helps me ascend to higher musical frequencies where a-alikes and enemies gather to hear the poetry the flows fantastic like Reeed Richards and Johnny blaze’n got a old head reminiscing of better days when times was simpler rhyme styles particular to your lifestyle and if your mind state was iller but still da cream always rises to the t-t-itop but I ain’t worrried cuz hip hop it won’t s-t-itop the next generation got us I know they got us from Krown to Rari gang my young bul’s is riders we’re just a bunch of local cats trying to survive this wilderness-we stick together they can’t divide us family come first- big up to the Reminders so I turned to my kids they said “yo dad we got this” Hook I think globally (unh) but act locally I deal with social media but mostly anti socially hopefully my past sins won’t come back to haunt me but Karma’s a bitch and her mean streak is deadly so ready or not we ready to plot brand new schemes to get our youngins off the block Let’s get it!! BRIDGE “yo these MOS beats thump and this track is krunk it jumps out the speakers like...WHAT!” “yo these MOS beats thump and this track is krunk it jumps out the speakers like...WHAT!” VERSE 2 thank God for music it’s medicine for the soul it helps block out their constant media mind control so open up your chakra’s + let your conscience be free and get down to the sounds of the B.U.G just like the D.O.C sometimes it just ain’t funky enough (repeat 3X’s) so I gots to get up get out and get back to some hustling shake off these demons get back to self loving back to self reliance back to life science’s like health is wealth secure the bag let’s go to where the sugar canes grow where time moves slow and where hating ass people ain’t allowed to go HOOK I think globally (unh) but act locally I deal with social media but mostly anti socially hopefully my past sins won’t come back to haunt me but Karma’s a bitch and her mean streak is deadly so ready or not we ready to plot brand new schemes to get the youngins off the block Let’s get it!!

VERSE ONE who’s dat cool cat in timbo’s and fitted hats coming through with my insect crew singing cool like dat (say what) this is strictly for the true heads, beat junkies and spiddyocks and those who appreciate real music out they boombox so turn it up and let the whole planet rock to these super soul Sonics break beat bionics the groove is automatic done made me a fanatic so whenever I’m with out it I’m like I gotta have it ..... I don’t need to say nothing else I’m a chill and let the music speak for itself Hook we talking rhythm and blues hip hop and funk so dontchu come around here talking dat monkey junk shit you can get it any way ya want... (repeat) Verse 2 what the Funk you was thanking this beat is cranking so all I wanna see is dem big booties shaking so raise dem hands up and give congratulations cuz we don’t hate round here that’s a violation so tune into your favorite space station to hear these cosmically advanced rhyme orchestrations its just a temporary visitation so don’t get too caught up and lose your concentration if you need me look to the constellations and I’ll be there so when the jazz awakens wit da fret less bass lines and Doodlebug flow ya know you’re in the right spot when the funky horns blow

VERSE ONE I was raised in the ways of dem Crazy 88’s back in the days we was blazed stayed digging in the crates just a bunch of beat junkies with dreams of living lovely had a whole lotta talent and heart but no money it’s funny how time flies when you having fun reminiscing on them times when we was cold getting dumb just loving life without no thoughts of ever falling off the innocence of youth ready to pop off we just a bunch of rhythm rebels with no righteous cause trying to find our way but always getting lost we needed guidance like Garmin here comes the ghetto shaman with his book of life, oh now it’s a fucking problem cuz now we critically analyzing the world we see and trying to figure out our place in this society I don’t look at my life the same no more that same chicken head don’t give me brain no more we don’t even associate with dem lames no more that same bullshit don’t light the flames no more shit we not even playing the game the same no more used to peddle product now we buying the store or shut em down like Chuck D and PE this is real life drama not made for tv so put ya fist up and let’s lift up this new generation and never forget where you from the foundation VERSE 2 i take my rhymes from knowledge to born then I add on to the cipher with the type of holy war reminiscent of the G’izer and Sir Ibu may the divine force be with you when I hitchu with this fly shit letchu get a full clip getchu off dat bullshit you seem to be cool with get some of this new drip I’m obviously oozing with (haaa) this is straight from the horses lip the rap styliano with the skills you ain’t equipped with so get your fit bit and run along knit wit before you get your atoms split like Oppenheimer the bomb ass rhymer terrorize you like Osama real rap no caps so don’t come here with that drama raised by some uptown gee’s like Chucky Go Go, Parry P, Schoolly D, Bruce Lee and Kato I studied under Father Lord my jazz fu is lethal plus I got love for my people sun..,the foundation

Cee Knowledge VERSE I found peace in between the sheets where thoughts become words and words become rhythm rhythm becomes life and life is for the living so I’m willing to forgive myself for bad decisions and trust my intuition my inner visions take me on trips through multiple dimensions time portals and worm holes the mind controls the body but it can’t control these assholes spitting their divisive rhetoric from the sidelines like cowards so Power to the people who think for themselves mental health is wealth so get rich or die trying life ain’t fair so stop your blood clot crying stop listening to your fears cuz dat mohfocker lying (and that’s real) but still I feel I got a lot more to give so I made the decision to stop bitching and just live... so sun can you wait on me cuz it’s still a long long road for me to be the man that I wanna be I ignore that I have everything I need somehow I want more at my front door so now I’m not too sure what I’m headed towards do I really adore what I’m reaching for will it make me Happy or is it all a lure

I’ve been up I’ve been down I was lost then I’m found think I really found myself when I’m lost in these sounds so I dig deep in these grooves like I’m Jacques Cousteau make moves with some dudes that you probably don’t know grown men move in silence never air my dirty laundry that shit is childish the Calidelphian’s the wildest the world tried to tame me but they can’t stop the violence hip hop is my solace but peace ain’t the word to play so do the knowledge positive enlightenment always causes elevation thoughts expanding mind resuscitation notwithstanding certain complications and some slightly shady obligations I came here just to rock the nation and keep the population percolating when they hear this collaboration then they go out and tell their friends to do the knowledge I was born on the north side - 215 I was blind to the ways of the world until my third eye saw through the devils lies for what they really are so now the truth shine through like a superstar out on the Vegas strip but never form ya lips to disrespect my clique or getcha ass kicked real quick like a Tyson fight and I might chew your ear off if I’m high as a kite so do the knowledge they say hip hop don’t stop even when they cock block the hustle stays steady b like I’m from the Hilltop I’m back on the block I’m back on these beats I’m back on my grind a brother gotta eat and ya know I gotta do what I gots to do cuz a brother like me ain’t nothing like you I’m true to my name true to the game and never ever ever ever lost myself in the fame so do the knowledge We got that chitty chitty bang bang dat inner city slang mang got them pretty young thangs fiending for the Pootie Tang but let’s keep that on the tippy Tao for now this unusual style got the crowd going wild live and direct don’t forget to sign the check when Cee Know and Meeco got that hot shit on deck do the knowledge
