About this ebook
Rap as a sense of poetry fitting the sounds of music, has becomes a pedestal to beckon a message. Written in language, it will solidify it to stand the test of time. Art, the reflection of our surroundings, questions our existence and the world we live in. The visual is just as important as the acoustic, and it all refers back to design with its impeccable line. Like in a dream, with life we have to be lucid or watch it become a nightmare before us. Searching for this line, is a process, and to conquer life we have to be capable and fully comfortable of surfing the waves. The words and music that came out of this long recording session, have been the keys to solving a complicated puzzle I've been working on for quite some time. I've always had a knack for writing, and when music's, rhyme; meter; and beat per second appeared enveloped with melody and harmony; I couldn't stop perfecting my flows. I wouldn't, I refrained from it. I wanted to learn how to fill the pockets, especially in my own voice. The patterns in the colorful rhythms and melodies allowed me to express and clean the cobwebs of my soul. Fascinating though, how it has a science behind it. What lies waiting to be opened, are the 62 lyric poems of the free music; 9 graphic collage illustrations (Including the cover); and a feeling of something more around the horizon.

Acknowledgements
The messAGE culminates a period of my life composed of its most turbulent frequencies. Each experience lived during those 7 years cannot be regretted, because it has formed who I am at present, and has laid the foundation for my future. The music, which can be found linked up on the website, was produced and written between 2003-2010. After 2010, I locked it all up in my vault and did some more reckless living before I moved back to North Carolina. After 4 years of beautiful chaos, I felt it was time to release this energy to the world. I've emerged from my dark ego driven tunnel under the pulsing sun, to publish this free ebook, with vibrant collage graphic art, alongside 8 mixtapes available for free download. The music has been specifically designed to be master tuned at 432Hz, straying away from the norm of 440Hz or the industry standard, for the obvious reasons that it's meant to connect and help the listeners energy onto a positive light. I have faith the lyrics set in stone by The messAGE and the music from the 8 mixtapes, fulfills my intent as an artist to help humanity, and not hinder its vast potential.
I would like to thank first and foremost my family; Mom, Dad, and Bro, thanks for the support and patience you've had with me through out the years; Stink, thanks for being my number one critic next to mom, and for being one true negu when I didn't believe in myself; my extended family especially my Auntie Maria and my cousin Julian; Carlos 'Flyy Drexler' Curry for introducing me to the music production game in high school; to my music brothers from another mother, Gerard 'Streetz' Green and Ernest Taylor for being there in the beginning and consistently being a source of learning and inspiration for me; Marina Mendez for your vocal contribution on F.O.R.giving; Kay Simone for being a friend even after our fall out, and a presence of light for me; my spiritual siblings Meow-Meow and Kitten; my sound engineer & music production mentor, Nick Joswick at 5th Street Studios; Sifu Eric Marks, at Blue Ridge Kung Fu Arnis Academy in Winston-Salem; and every kind person, and ill obstacle I've ever had the pleasure to cross.
I would also like to note, that the point of view written in these lyrics are of a boy coming to age in this chaotic and beautiful time. In this present period of my life, I don't agree with some of the things I wrote and I wish I could go back, and have a deep conversation with my angry addicted younger self about life. Unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking. The chapter excerpts, are though a present motif of who I am paralleled with the lyrics of my past. I look forward to putting out more art, and will let you know well in advance when it will be dropping. This is but a few of my many gifts to the sentient beings of EArth, with many blessings and luv.

Chapter I
Dreamin
Since the origin of our species the majority of us have been awake in a sleep, not realizing we've been Dreamin' within a dream. Life for many of us, has become a mundane routine of slumber, work, and behavioral destruction; to realize when we're old that we've never taken the chance to really Live it UP. To getUP is to awaken from the sleep we've been breathing in, and aim to break the mental chains we've been bound to. Easier said than done, the Longest Walk is our test of will from past lives, to this life, and on to the ones that follow. The visions of the oracles have been tactical Prophesy to sway the masses with the words of the gods. That is why in today's day of age integrity surpasses the distortion of corruptions dishonor, and it all starts between the The Honest & The Thieves. The shadow 'I' of the world thus used Tulip's MANIA to test the mental enslavement potential of humanity with a negative economy of weightless legal tender. So far they've been successful, but the conscious light has consequently responded to the opposing force when it stated, "We About 2 Fly, for this shit!"
Dreamin' ft. E. Taylor
Production, first verse lyrics, & hook created and written by 2MOONz; second verse lyrics written by E.Taylor
I got the magic candy/ for any one who wanna, to try it//
Delicious like the Easter Bunny/ cookin' in my fire//
I ain't tryinna to be funny/ huh, women sick and tired//
Of the same ol' games/ mack a different chick while she's in front of you//
I tell her I'm a lion/ and I need the rest of my pride//
I got a different agenda/ I'm here rulin' the world//
Eating grapes like an emperor/ gettin' stabbed like I'm Cesar//
One reason to never have friends/ all of 'em are brothers//
I need women not bitches/ where all the women at//
Who surprise wit a pot full of food/ for my fat ass//
I am official diplomat/ single emissary//
Bring the races back together/ got them watchin'//
At the other side/ cro-cross the street//
Empty the bottle out/ throw the contents in the toilet//
I know I'm not a heavy drinker/ god a smoke you under tables//
Like you hidin' from earthquakes/ or nuclear Soviet bombs//
I gotta stay chill/ breath slow/ live long//
Feeling so calm/ movin' through this life, like a breeze//
Smoke a black when this Kentucky air/ wanna freeze//
I'm a southern boi/ with a lingo like I'm Spanish//
I was born down en Colombia/ in the tropical zone//
Way up high in the clouds/ I'm the people of the mountains//
And my sisters the oceans/ I load a weapon up//
For any zombies/ we livin' in a nightmare//
So I breathe 'em to a daydream
breath 'em to a daydream
breath 'em to a daydream
breath 'em to a daydream
Yeah!
I breath em' to a daydream
breath em' to a daydream
breath em' to a daydream
«BEATH 'EM!»
I'm spreadin' all this love/ through the universe//
I don't need no frowns/ all I need is smirk//
If you want a pound/ I can get you work//
But I'm out of town/ I'm preachin' at a church//
-Obama and Osama, Dali Lama all my people//
My power is to hourly/ shower you with feet notes//
Courage you/ not coward you//
Fire off the evil/ Mother, Brother, Father, Sister cover up ya ego//
Now think/ and think about the times//
You really thought that you the shit/ we lunatics we struggle//
Just to be supper rich/ we truly think the jewels and minks you make//
Is cool and shit/ the borderline in all my rhymes//
Is that we ludacris/ so sit back relax//
So you could appreciate/ bout all the times you life was great//
And then assimilate/ eliminate the hate and no longer discriminate//
We live to die so live today/ until you pass away//
To all my N.I.G.G.A.z in the pen/ keep your head up//
Open your eyes/ and hope to rise//
Lets ride forever/ to all my women in the world neva give up//
We all unite, we truly rise/ lets rule forever//
Live it UP
Lyrics written by 2MOONz
See me ride out the tunnel/ knee deep in my hustle//
Try not to struggle/ quicksand, eat you up quicker//
If you move in the puddle/ I need a chick, who loves to cuddle//
Stay quiet neva rebuttals/ won't hesitate, to jump in the scuffle//
I'm walkin' over deserts/ and rattle snakes//
Over yards/ on my way, to the cake//
Seven seas/ swimmin' the lakes//
I'm lovin' it/ avoidin' the hate//
Drink it up/ live it up/ smoke it up//
Emeralds, shine brilliant/ cause I'm a genius//
Sophisticated/ lookin' at the sunset/
Humbled down//
You payin' 300/ I'm payin' 5 dollers//
For the Cohiba's you smokin' homes//
Smile wit the moon/ in the open air saloon//
What you shootin'?/ Aguardiente//
Fire burnin' my throat/ when I pass it//
Evaporates in a buzz/ now I'm flyin'//
Silk shirt looks like a silkworm-spun it//
Guayabera hat all white/ killin' it//
Shoe shine/ black and white//
See your reflection/ and fix your hair ma//
Now you lookin' good/ baby lets take off//
Hemp around my neck/ wit an emerald stone//
Rolex/ round my wrist//
Angels gonna sing/ devils gonna talk//
But, I, just brush 'em off/ blow the candle out when they goin' to sleep//
I'm pluggin' in my
