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

VERSE ONE
oh I thought I heard you say you wanted some jazzy flows
well here I am in the flesh so baby here we go
don’t get it ttwisted unless you rolling some hydro
this ain’t no fraudulent fake it’s the original
mr Cee Know + Dr Drummah mi hermano
straight from São Paulo where the the sun likes to follow and Muito amor es respeito to bahia
and ghetto salute to Dj Ajamu
love is love so I spread that shit willingly
no mystery above cuz I’m living in reality
I make no apologies for my ghetto philosophies, old school mentality, Kangols and Wallabees, rock em to the death of me
fuck whatchu think of me
I’m living my life (right) like I’m supposed to be
I’m in my twilight years supposedly
but these classic flows live eternally
SECOND VERSE:
now let’s get back to the basics like shell toed adidas owith the fly fat laces
and deejays who spin out like true turntablists
microphone masters with them profound prhrases
that speak to a crowd of beautiful faces from all different places and all different races
all praises due to the universal language
that is was created in the basements and backyards of black Gods
that brought back to life sounds we thought was lost
when Peter Piper picked his peppers the signals got crossed
so JMJ got on the tables and showed who’s boss!!
now that’s hip hop straight off the block yup
now who get the props and who gets the glock
who takes the fall when the neighbors call the cops
and who got the chops to rhyme off the top
and who keeps dancing when the beats all stop!!
outro
dr Drummah rock rock on eh
cfo rock rock on eh
dps rock rock on eh
nex millen rock rock on eh
pop jay rock rock on eh
third degree rock rock on eh
Krown rock rock on eh
Dinco d rock rock on eh
mellow man rock rock on eh
BKR Rick rock on eh
Fresno city rock rock on eh
north philly rock rock on eh
Brazil rock rock on eh

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

HOOK
So how does it feel
how does it feel
when you fake as fuck but you still think you keep it real (sample)
I keep it thoro in every borough
city or township
man you and your corny crew is all on my dick (sample)
VERSE
first and foremost I keep it one hundred
in a world of 85ers making a living outta fronting
and ain’t no future in that though
especially when you’re trying to getcha family up out this ghetto
woah yo this righteous grind is real slow
they told me get a real job but I’m not making no real dough
so i might have to call up Paco
and grab me a key of dat hot ass coco
and hit the block running like Flo Jo
but corner boy tactics ain’t really my steelo
I’m a smooth criminal - white collar residuals
like royalty checks from classic rap material
like (den da neh den da neh)
baselines and horn hits
fly rhymes and long trips
parties and bullshit
hot chicks and mo’ spliffs
damn homeboy I think I’m getting too old for this shit lol
HOOK
so how does it how does it feel
when you fake as fuck but you still thinking you keep it real
I keep it thoro worldwide whatever
I see y’all new cats is making mad cheddar but you never...
VERSE 2
I been fresh since way way back
before ya punk ass pop squeezed your ass out his nut sack
the story is yous a tough guy in showbiz
but in real life yous as soft as some cheese whiz
who me?! oh I’m just a cool kid
trying to spread love but ain’t nothing to be fooled wit
my mantras to live and let live
but you can bet money I ain’t dealing witcha bullshit
nah I’m just space coasting like the Silver Surfer
trying to reach new heights and then take it further
murder murder it’s a sound boy killing
the people waking up and they feeling whatchu selling
so “kill that noise” and the real flow freely
but being ya self ain’t a path that’s traveled easy
not for the weak minded the deaf dumb and blinded
or those who can’t distinguish what’s fiction from the science
HOOK
So how does it feel huh how does it feel
when you think you living dat life
but that life you live ain’t really real
I keep it thoro from the baby basket to the casket
but keep talking dat slick shit you bound to get your ass kicked

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
