Verse 1 Igniting an inferno In my nocturnal journal Filled with the spirit and power Of the eternal Transcending the globe In that voidian probe Digital hermit Decked in a dark robe Sick of the sickness And cutthroat business Getting back To the spiritual fitness Treating the cabbage Like excess baggage On a long trail Something rugged and jagged Few dare follow Hearts beat hollow Living in fear Like there’s no tomorrow Still I seek Out the infinite The devil’s limit Transcending it Abandon the mortals Leaping through On red alert No time to be cordial Listen to me Broham Don’t be a program Beware Babylon Queen of the damned Chorus Lost in a daze, trapped in a maze Of effed up consequences Stuck on the Earth, cursed with a thirst The pig system never quenches Verse 2 If I die Before I wake From these haters Snakes, fakes and flakes I pray the lord Jah My soul to take Beyond Babylon Into Zion’s gates Until then I refuse To bend Mufasa Rasta In the lion’s den In the footsteps Of Malik Shabazz Spirit moonwalking On that holy grass Like brother Che Keep the pigs at bay While pop weasel clones Get caught in the fray No love lost No tears shed For the battlefield Ogun warrior bred Got no time To fool with a blind Dead and dumb system That don’t wanna listen I’m on that Revolution ish Giving youg fools tools To learn how to fish Verse 3 Fear long gone Cadence strong Delving deep In the mystic unknown Will I survive This industrial hell On the question don’t dwell Only time will tell Breathing in Zen Ego made thin In meditaion Shedding old skin Putting in work To build a house of brick A fortress thick With no straw or stick Severing ties With fools and flies Ears made deaf To the blood clot cries Sheep no more Long wolf to the core Knocking on the door In the heavens I soar Queen Mother Goddess Calling out me To break these chains And set the warriors free Breed new seeds To rise above the weeds To never get choked By the fear and the greed

Verse 1 Born to be that astral-naut Outside yah box Not yah jump-ropes or hurdles But yah planets I hop From my rooter to my tooter Potbelly breathing waking Buddha Drifting off the mantra aum Ah vibe to keep my mind calm I stay trance-state tripping While hamster wheels keep ah flipping Picture my inner child From some egos far skipping Those who know they don’t speak Those who speak they don’t know Why ah need for so many words When yah actions are bound to show Surrounded by soul sandbaggers Heavy yoke draggers Stalked by shadows in the night Carrying concealed daggers Peeping with my third Sky-high soaring like a bird Keeping it light as a feather Despite that bad karmic weather The spirit bounces back Like that kangaroo Jack Intuit solids to fluid Shapeshifting like that Called by the infinite beyond Pass the walls of Babylon Not possessed by the material Never that pawn of the imperial Chorus Bang! Zooom!!! Cosmic blooms Done transformed An ordinary afternoon Mojo bubble bubble It’s mo toil and trouble Messing with me Yah mofos getting double Bang! Zooom!!! Cosmic blooms Done transformed An ordinary afternoon Mojo bubble, bubble It’s mo toil and trouble That Space Camp tribe Solidified in the struggle Verse 2 Try though they may To say the truth don’t pay From the talk that I walk Never too far do I stray The life of a dubterranean Penetrating craniums Ripping and whipping tracks Like that devil Tasmanian For far too long I been barred from the zone A prisoner on planet Earth Making my head my home Always working steady searching Heart hoping to find The real me Beyond that concentration camp frame of mind But it was looking through Yo narrow point of view You sought to kill in me What was foreign to you But somehow I managed To skip and hop planets To return ready to burn That dragon doing damaged Spitting refining fyah For all those who desire To ignite that inner light Guaranteed to inspire Time to wakeup, they tryna breakup Those who shakeup The people sleepwalking While the architects are stalking Verse 3 No jingle jam bruh I spit that yoga fyah Like do or dyah I take that ish to the wire Natural mystic on the beat Setting flame to the streets In a black backpack This bomber packing major heat Picture bridges burning Them tables turning Young fools is learning We gots to find better ways for couping earnings Sick of hearing pop weasels Thinking they cock diesel With no works of art Just mo bullshit on their isles It’s Brenian Swift Awaken the dead I go fed Rearrange yah mind frame Like purple haze do the head Proverbial armor As a shield from bad karma In a land that’s rule by the hand of the snake charmer To lessen up the stressing Of them pigs down-pressing I treat every moment with my peeps Like a blessing Doubting the superiority Of western authority With screwed up mathematics Telling us that we the minority

Traveling 03:59
Chorus Traveling on a road few dare to travel And every single step of the way the ugly truth unravels Never knew/found a place called home Feeling again as if I’m on my own/all alone Verse 1 What is fear to that man That’s done looked into the eyes of death Racking his brains Till his sanity he had none left Flesh be for a moment But spirit is forever To escape from the wheel All ties I sought to sever No love, no loss The deeper the desire the greater the cost Fell in love with this bitch And soon my hopes got tossed Treating most like potholes Things to be avoided Or else like paper towels To be used and then discarded Col-hearted From the rest of the flock had I parted To become a lone wolf Down this narrow path I started The folly of fools Creating ripples in my mental pool Kept me searching For that fortress steeped in solitude Matter of mind Mind over the matter Learn to deny my flesh To make my spirit fatter When the monkey stop babbling Phoenix wings start unraveling And it was on that day My feets began traveling Verse 2 Soul pinning, mining For that platinum lining Desperate like a vulture On a carcass dinning Looking to save my seeds From a fat man’s greed Eyes paining and straining Until they start to bleed Machine draining Feeling like ah zombie in training Losing sight of the light While the darkness is gaining Wondering could I, will I Ever live to see I Fly in the blue sky Free to let that Raven cry Freedom from valley to valley And crest to crest The inner in the womb Like an egg in its nest Ready to hatch And snatch back the power Before the Reaper Marks the final hour Talking about the point Of no return Where the bridge left behind Is now the bridge that burns The call of the primal Echoes up my spinal Living everyday Like it could be my final

Verse 1 Flames shootin’ from the bottom of my shoes, I got rocket fuel. Meditatin’, elevatin’, dive within to find the tools. More conscious than the average, hoppin planets and travelin Solar flares of truth, I’mma throw till the lies unravel, and Marionettes marryin that info you been sold The architects are busy keepin paper from the poor With real eyes the treasure that I see is in my soul The power to create keeps me in heaven and afloat. The destiny laid out in front of me is what I make it So be enlightened by the way that I control the matrix I moving about the galaxy, tapping into the energy Sharing the light, and the love, that I’m hoping you return to me One day you’ll see the glow, it leaves a bright and shiny path No stain upon me homie, I’m the artist and the staff Thankful for the moments, that have occurred, I’m leavin’ em in the past Welcome aboard this spaceship, we movin’ forward fast. Chorus Hearts full of that Lantern Light, Taking off on a mystic flight Let the journey begin No matter what fate awaits me, Gonna let the spirit take me, I’m walking on wind Verse 2 We so far gone Traveling deep in the unknown Way off in the zone With that hyper drive on Tribal electronic, cyber sonic Anti-demonic Dark knight On another mystic flight Headed to a place Clones dare not come near Knowing it’s the truth And the shadow that they fear Feeling hunky-dory Steady grinding in the laboratory While fools seek the limelight Suckers for that ego glory Sent on a mission To do major demolition To the punk ass industry With this antimatter ministry Separating molecules To reinfuse Zen be the tool I use To stabilize the jet fuel Running through my veins As I ascend to higher plains Gathering up the chi Trying to break these mortal chains It’s the one who flew over the cuckoo Spitting that verbal voodoo Lungs huffing and puffing Like ah locomotive choo choo Verse 3 With flows interdimensional, thoughts unconventional, Clones in the game still want proof our credentials Old school graduates, hip hop college of self knowledge This house built on spirit, sticks and stones can never demolish Rude boy, rude girl, terrorizing your corporate clone world You culture vultures cannot seize these solomonic pearls of wisdom Provided over these intergalactic rhythms Spiritual beacons of truth, reflecting light like a prism Told to go to hell So hell is what we give’em Never shedding a tear Whenever that karma comes to get’em Once a slave to the grind Stricken with a brainwashed mind Till reality became the savior Restoring sight to the blind Systems wicked So children or wicked Taught to do as the Romans do Or else get evicted can you dig it? Gotta break the mold To regain control of your soul When you take yah power back Watch how these Cracker Jacks fold

Verse 1 Sick of being pawn To a madman’s scheme Clones telling us To sideline our dreams Got us running On a hamster’s wheel Driven insane by the yang With a heart that don’t feel Feeding our young To the machine Till they all about the cheddar All about the cream Getting the green By any means Living life void of light Or seldom seen Cursed with a heart Full of darkness Searching for ways in this maze To try and spark this Until what was lost Has been rekindled Turning straw to gold At the spindle Wind Walkers Stepping out on nothing Up the crystal stairs of life We trucking Into the halls Of Mount Olympus Where worldly charms Can no longer tempt us Chorus Like Music to my ears Beyond the Tyrannical voices, A message loud and clear Rebel Dreamers, rebel dreamers, rebel dreamers Within lies the way Verse 2 What if there was an apocalypse, I be prepared for the aftermath Such a disgrace how you fix your lips Jokers like you makin’ filthy rich Third eye sees that you’re oozing with lies Gut steady tellin’ me you’re fakin’ the funk Just seek the truth and you will find, that it’s not a surprise I’m givin’ you a taste of this alien love Every now and then, I imagine I’m a monk Living way up in the clouds somewhere Laughin’ and rappin’ and singin’ my song Sharing my love and pickin my hair Sick and tired of being sick and tired, Mystical minds Fighting the power is the antidote, See the signs? Needy will overcome the greedy Look at the math and the numbers, Open up and Look at the science. Verse 3 Feeling foot loose, And fancy free Mystery makin’ us dive in deep Travel with no fear, On a new frontier Bumper sticker on the ship says we outta here Removing veils, Hoisting up sails Power by the people may the truth prevail Spirit moving in the batter, Shapeshifting matter Servin up love hot and fresh on the platter To hungry souls, Made hard by the cold Racing and chasin for a bit of fools gold When within, The true treasure lies For the spirit eternal, hope never dies The two in the one, Sent to get the job done Won’t stop moving till the kingdom comes Raven by the light Of the Waxing Moon Into the mystic verse we zoom

Terraforming 03:26
Verse1 Souls floating In underwater wonderland To the tick tock of a clock With no hands A child of Venus Born to vibe Traveling in my spacecraft Is how I stay alive Hypnotic With aquatic telepathy Rally the youth to cut loose In spiritual revelry Oh dog-eat-dog system Where did you come from? Like ah poison Making human hearts feel numb No class, kingdom, phylum In this Space Camp asylum Forming one species On this intergalactic island Come one, come all If you truly heed the call On this road of life The engine of love never stalls Spirits terraforming Muses swarming Round humble heads With crowns of wisdom adorning Fearless Wind Walkers Stepping out on faith With bold butterfly wings Do we elevate Verse 2 Come and hop in my cosmic cab, take a journey where the lost is found Floatin’ high way above the ground Nothing you can say or do can ever hold me down Rose colored locs, freed me from the rope Smile so enchanting see me beaming through the smoke The bullets in ya chamber can not penetrate my field The love and truth that I been serving up is quite a hefty meal Consciously creatin planets fillin up the space Radiating energy and steady suring up the case I’m innocent, you’re charging me with kidnap, run it back You wakin up from mind control, sit back and relax No drug can ever get us to the high where we at We unified and pushin peace, a massive attack Waxing Moon’s only rule on this ride, I just want you to be Goin’ inside where the kingdom lies, we settin’ you free Verse 3 No victim of the brainwash leprosy, armed with the voodoo charms and mystic weaponry With a style so hard Like oh my Lord Got’em throwing in the towel To the referee It’s the field we devour, unleashing the power, with the spirit probe, it’s the globe we scour Looking for those Who be ready to roll Not slaves to the grave On remote control Some mystical veterans light years ahead of them, with seeds of greed, yes indeed they embedded them That’s why we got beef With the architects Strive to break from the snakes And to reconnect Piece by piece, uniting West with the East, Livin’ off love to escape the beast As we dared and prepared To make the trip While the dead misled Wait for grips to slip But we stay on it, and treat it like we want it, nothing more, but that freedom galore Knowing love and hate Can be fellow cellmates We shedding sheepskin Wolves up outta the gates

That one time at space camp – when I lost my helmet I was Floating… Among the stars Off to Mars Between Deep Ellum Bars While Driving Cars Up and Down the Streets On and Off Beat! Like a leaf on the creek Up out my sneaks With my friends Near the end To a new begin With a Chesshire grin With Buddhy and Christ Feeling Oh so nice! With Indian Chiefs Beyond Beliefs This is ground control, to majorette Tom Don’t you be alarmed, Just put your helmet Back on I was Floating… Beyond controls With a wanderers soul Back to Pangea, Floating Like the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria In search of a new world (repeat) That One time at space camp, when I lost my helmet.

about

An afrofuturistic, conscious, hip and trip-hop duo featuring the syncopated, lyrical flows and soulful vocal stylings of Raven Looks Deeply and Waxing Moon.

Escape from Scar City: A Beginner’s Guide to Terraforming Part 1 is a multidimensional concept album, eight years in the making, that involves the merging of artistic and literary genres including music, singing, rapping, spoken word, afrofuturistic, philosophical mythos, and theatrical performance art. One of the chief aims of the MysticVerse duo, with the release of this epic project, is to spearhead the birth of a new genre of performance art coined, “Afrofuturo, Hip-Gnostic, Space Hopera.” Afrofuturo, Hip-Gnostic, Space Hopera is a colorfully expressive, ritualistic and theatrical art form designed to achieve the following: stir a fanciful sense of awe-inspiring wonder with the use of mystical imagery and ambiance, enlighten minds with lyrics containing pearls of esoteric wisdom, and spawn a cultural revolution that favors free-spirit self-determinism over docile, systematic servitude and champions the concern for the welfare and wellbeing of people over the making of profit without principle. The intent of MysticVerse is evident in a lyrical quote taken from Raven Looks Deeply off one of the tracks on the album titled Bang!Zooom!!! “Spitting refining fyah (fire yielding alchemical heat) for all those who desire to ignite that inner light guaranteed to inspire.” More of this intent is also represented in a quote from Waxing Moon off the album track titled Terraforming. “Waxing Moon’s only rule on this ride, I just want you to be; goin’ inside where the kingdom lies we setting you free.”
