Hook: You know that we ride we ride It’s dark gotta be the light gotta be the light You know it’s time for us to go to go go to go go go go to go go You know it’s time for is to flow to flow flow to flow flow flow flow to flow flow :: Verse It can be hard for me to see So i feel I dig deep inside and ask why If it’s low i wanna be high So i fly if i wanna survive i rise Whether in this dimension And into A new experience where it’s true Where we are truly free and love Is the way Not artificial like society And no one can manipulate Like they do over here Where big men are in fear What others are going to think With no one talking bad In your back coz that’s sad Where we are truly happy To just be to free free free to be free Unlike this modern slavery Which is superficial to the bone, diversity Is what it’s all about for me Because it’s the beauty that we see in front of we Our lifestyle in the west Where it is filled with stress, yo stress Who else are you gonna kill To be free free free to be free Who else are you gonna kill To be free free free to be free :: Hook: You know that we ride we ride It’s dark gotta be the light gotta be the light x4 You know it’s time for us to go to go go to go go go go to go go You know it’s time for is to flow to flow flow to flow flow flow flow to flow flow :: The world that i’m coming from No one kills to rob you enslave you to make bills We all live in abundance Where there’s no need to go and chase form that bank Humans are like rats in a cage Just like dogs got rage chill we need sage So we can clean the poor vibes Let’s raise high sometimes we are down but in time Phoenix rising through the flames I got too out here like pac gotta have juice They like to gossip in my back Coz they weak, they not men, friends who got them Gotta focus on the good Coz if not, what’s the point of going on in this knot We gotta see the beautiful That’s in us, that’s in us us us, that’s in us Coz through the darkness we rise Like stars in the sky high nebula Energize like like crystals Lemurian quartz citrine they lure me in We gotta learn to resonate Way high and stay calm through the storm where there’s harm They always said i was to deep When i speak i teach for your soul i make you reach :: Hook: You know that we ride we ride It’s dark gotta be the light gotta be the light x4 You know it’s time for us to go to go go to go go go go to go go You know it’s time for is to flow to flow flow to flow flow flow flow to flow flow

Gotta stay focused at all times To accomplish what is on my mind People want want me to help with work They want my skills but i got my own work They talk to be heard but never listen Which reveals their true intention There are many ways to read a person’s mind From body language to voice intonation To eye contact to their electro-magnetic field T hrough their akashic records know the deal No matter what they say i see their intent It’s as clear as day i see through them Like the sense of sight Through sound of bats at night Life feels like i’m trapped in a maze Find the exit and escape with grace Go back to willpower planet Coz with this slave planet i’ve had it My passion is what kept me alive Doing what i love even if i barely survived No place to sleep and eating grass Recognizing all the edible plants fast Now you know why i’m an urban warrior Spreading light and euphoria The truth lives inside of your heart Break free from mental chains take part :: Hook to hard melody We can live in hell in life But when i make music i’m in paradise We can live in hell in life But when i code my art i’m in paradise We can experience in hell in life But doing projections i’m in paradise We can experience in hell in life But doing installations i’m in paradise :: I am always looking for a way For an artist to get paid More than a business man i’m an artist A pure creator and innovator Who does not like to work for anyone But for myself health is wealth Most trade their skills in for money Without owning the company I call it a robbery - a scam Having money is not what makes you man It’s your integrity it’s your honor So i gotta be much smarter And create my own universe Coz society feels like a curse An entrapment of human souls Don’t be a coward stand up for yours I gotta be independent Fuck a boss or a president I need money for my equipment So that i can receive fresh shipments Of sensors projectors led’s Drum machine keyboards to make ep’s So that you can download my music mp3’s My tracks bang listen to them Crank this up now throw your fist up ! :: Hook We can experience in hell in life But when i make music i’m in paradise We can experience in hell in life But making visual art i’m in paradise We can experience in hell in life But doing projections i’m in paradise We can experience in hell in life But doing installations i’m in paradise When i’m alone i’m in paradise When i’m with a soul mate i’m in paradise What i want money for are possessions Which lead to destruction through pollution

Willpower LifeForce WillpowerStudios.com Where Your Heart At ? Stress will kill ur nervous system They speak but they do not listen So when i am with a person Ca-rry-ing frantic energy I breathe deep and just let them be When one is being very angry They will throw their anger at you Even if you are not the source Of their pain of their misfortune This is why it is important To surround ourselves with others Who resonate with us brotha If not we’ll be negatively Affected by the ones who fuss If a person negatively Judges one that’s not here with us I know that person will talk the Same way about me to another In another situation They reveal their true intention Without knowing, it’s perception When i meet someone who does not Talk bad about others in their Back i just love it man oh yeaha Judging a person is a limitation Of perception it’s an illusion Based on thoughts that create high walls Jails in the mind, escape it all By connecting with your own heart Your intuition, as a start I do not care what they may say About me in my back ok It actually entertains me They lied about me in the past To discredit me jealousy Many have insulted me Funny because i was not hurt I realized that they were burnt Unhappy and torn up inside So instead of facing themselves They wanted to put it on me Hiding behind what they call pride But pride is birthed the ego But the ego is not you yo Everything that they think is ab Solutely real is just not true An invented fabrication A person once called me evil You can try to call me devil This how mass media works They say that someone is a jerk Everyone follows like a sheep Most are afraid to disagree This is how sheep are kept in check They’re scared of being talked about Controlled by fear without a doubt Have courage release it, be free Who cares if they talk about me :: We know who we are We know that we are stars We’re galactik like mars Move on despite the scars We know who we are We know that we are stars We’re galactik like mars Move on despite the scars :: Life is magical It’s fantastical Quartz crystal Mystical :: Mystical Metaphysical Spiritual x 4

Hook I was raised in the urban jungles But i managed to remain humble I was raised in the urban jungles Where stimuli is high for that bundle // Verse I speak out about the negative Aspects of cities in which Negus live We face racism rejection From others and between ourselves Negus is Gods, spread the love It’s what we need to rise above The hatred anger bitterness We are so blessed and gifted They believe we’re inferior And all they do is reign with terror We see clearly through all their lies Just Like Pac, Still I Rise Pac told us if your black, smile We keep our head up and high I share spaces with different races I wanna bring love in all places Earth is biodiversity Not just one ethnicity Turn complex into simplicity I express my vision implicitly // Hook I was raised in the urban jungles But i managed to remain humble I was raised in the urban jungles Where stimuli is high for that bundle // Verse Cities also have positive I love the energy it gives It allows different people to live Too many under a bridge Their is so much homelessness here The system is not about love here I love it when trees are planted Pollution is taken for granted I love style and how it’s expressed Through the way we dress yes But some are afraid to style Fear of being judged for being wild Personally i don’t care if they judge me Judgement is an illusion of the psyche Millions of people still i’m lonely Hello and welcome to the city // Hook I was raised in the urban jungles But i managed to remain humble I was raised in the urban jungles Where stimuli is high for that bundle

You cannot hide Verse Do you have the heart to keep going Do you know what it takes to keep flowing Some find paradise here on this earth Others trapped in hell marked by a curse It’s slave planet, can you see And the system is monetary Within it can you find ways to be free ? Or do you conform to make money We have the capacity to free energy Scientists murdered by the power industry Do you still depend on a doctor ? If you say yes the system gotcha It means you’re not aware of your powa That’s why i’m here just to remind ya To free yourself from propaganda Humans face extinction like pandas :: Hook You cannot hide behind your money You cannot hide behind your car You cannot hide behind your honey You cannot hide behind the bar :: Big Pharma ceutical industry Is through media controlling humanity Doctors have the shortest lifespan You depend on them to give you a hand Many doctors are not here to help you They do it for social status and fortune They don’t admit it to themselves It’s called denial of thy own self Vaccines global scam on humans But we’re waking up to their shenanigans Dentists put mercury in kids’ mouth Now please tell me what that’s all about If you ask me it’s an aberration Ignorance is turned into action Many die because of mistakes Made by doctors what does that say ? :: Hook You cannot hide behind your money You cannot hide behind your car You cannot hide behind your honey You cannot hide behind the bar :: Self discipline’s leading my life Things can get hectic so some fight The best thing to do is stay calm Take breaths and put my palm to palm There’s always a positive to see Sometimes our vision can get blurry That’s why we connect to the body Because in it we feel the energy That is flowing synchronistically With the emotions we’re feeling physically That came from stress or thoughts we had Which catalyzed us feeling sad or mad From inside you can change your energy Reprogramming subconscious is key A good thing is physical activity Or listen to M.U.S.I.C Music is really the true essence The antidote to all this nonsense :: Hook You cannot hide behind your money You cannot hide behind your car You cannot hide behind your honey You cannot hide behind the bar

SUPABEING 04:03
I never met a person who understood me Never met a woman with whom i would be I’m an urban warrior who lives in love I’m a solitaire and what i go through is tough I keep striving for my amazing vision Obstacles make me better with decisions No matter how extreme life may seem to be I nurture that love that lives inside of me They may talk in my back but i truly don’t care They r clones of society in a mental jail Even if they hate me i wish that they are well Sometimes life may feel like we are in hell Let’s take deep breaths meditate to elevate Coz without the hard luck we wouldn’t be as great What makes us SUPABEINGS is the fact that we Go beyond the fear of death to truly be free SUPABEINGS My grandparents are the reason i’m alive Courage is what my grandma taught me I Became a beast due to what i have lived I started working on myself, yeah and forgive To let go emotions we don’t forget I stand up tall and really do not regret What I’ve been through made me who I am today An independent artist carving out his way Instead of working for somebody else I rather be PUTTING MY HEART INTO IT for myself Even if i risk loosing everything i own There’s more honor in building what is my own I do not fear being ridiculed at all Or hated on for my race not afraid to fall Sometimes we don’t know how we will survive What makes us SUPABEINGS is we strive to thrive SUPABEINGS There should not be homeless people in cities It’s the result of a system that’s monetary It should be a system that’s for everybody Instead of a jail that they call society We should be happy not in misery Let’s change the world for how good it could be Where we live in abundance everything is free Biodegradable renewable energy Is fundamental for our survival No more destroying the home of aboriginals Will we keep killing this beautiful planet Like parasites in infested intestines that gotta have it Even the fruits don’t have flavor anymore They’re sprayed with chemicals taking out your core There is so much going on behind the scene What it takes to rise higha is a SUPABEING

Hook: Let’s transform thee society And live as one in harmony Women only want a man If he got big stax in the bank And what kind of job he has It’s not about love but the cash It’s about the car and the swipe It’s about the bar and the hype But all that is fake to me What happened to that L.O.V.E I don’t know, it’s out the window It’s about the sex hello nympho It became superficial That’s why they’re not happy in their mental Hook: Let’s transform thee society And live as one in harmony One with nature and the trees From the soul connect with the sea It may seem impossible For black on black hate to go Or domestic violence We should not remain silent For the women and children For ourselves as standing men Perversion of what is sexy Made it a sick society Where you are judged by your money Not your H.E.A.R.T Not even your M.I.N.D More depression and frustration Only you can change the nation More cancers and diabetes That’s why you should just follow me @Universeawaken Put it in practice across the atlas It may seem impossible but i’m at this Hook: Let’s transform thee society And live as one in harmony

I GO 03:50
We live on a beautiful planet with colorful flowers A heavenly blue sky a sun giving us power for hours Penetrating through our skin and absorbed by our melanin Which gave me my magical pigmentation to which i give blessings If people are racist i really don’t care it’s their own beef I keep marching on in a world that happens to be ruled thieves Disguised as politicians, corporations, institution But we know what time it is, we know the truth from intuition On top of that we do our research in the age of information That they are suppressing every dark day like in the middle ages But these days it’s wikileaks instead of burning books and pages They spy on the world because they live in fear and paranoia Are you the devil’s advocate ? Working for him as a lawyer ? Open your mind or stay trapped in your daily job you do not love Where you are not making a positive change for you and everyone else At some point we gotta stand up rise up man up Hook to drums I go i go i do not stop x 2 I go i go and i do do not quit I keep creating I keep making from passion I respect artists who are talking about the struggle we live On this planet as it starts with a discussion, communication Which makes the difference between something succeeding or failing bad I think it is about being transparent in our intent People make agreements but do not respect their own engagements So we adapt and map out a new strategy to implement You never know what is going to happen every moment is different So it’s about flowing around all the bullshit until the good is shifting It takes patience inner calmness focus and determination Persistence perseverance resilience cos the frustration Will take over if we let it, hold us down like being indebted The negativity we dead it time to set it get on with it Always gotta move on gotta move it good thoughts for where we’re headed I’m willpower LifeForce hello woman how are you doing today ? Oh u want to ignore me it’s ok let’s not conversate If i am rejected to keep on going is what i’m about anyway L I F E A L O N E coz I am not of this W O R L D L I F E A L O N E coz I am not of this W O R L D WILLPOWER :: Hook I go i go i do not stop x 2 I go i go i go and don’t quit I keep creating I keep making from passion

about

In 2011, I released an 11-Track Album.
In 2013, I released a 13-Track Album.
It is 2015. Guess What. Yes, you guessed it.
This album has 15 Tracks !

What I want to communicate with this album is that we are beyond our body and mind. We are souls. We don't have to be slaves of stressful jobs, we can create a beautiful world of bliss. Too many of us seem sick and unhappy. We don't have to live like this. We do not have to sell our souls to consumerism and superficiality. We are disconnected from Mother Earth. We are destroying ourselves and our biodiverse environment. Let's be happy and joyful. Let's co-create with those who resonate with us. I find it rare to make such connections, which is why my album is called: NOT OF THIS WORLD

I created this album to have something to listen to which spoke to me.
No artist out there provides me with what I need no matter how big they are.
So even though I am unknown, I still create with all my heart.
If I make music that I like, maybe someone else will like it too.
If it speaks to others, I am grateful and thankful. _/|\_

'NOT OF THIS WORLD' means a lot to me.
I put so much of myself into it.
It's work from the heart.
It does not feel free in societies where we are a subjugated to work for money, feeding a system of no love, destroying the environment and thus, humanity.
Feeling affected by my life experiences and going through challenges, I wanted to put music out to reflect them.
In hearing it I really noticed the darkness of it.
I improve every moment as I go deep inside of myself and live from my heart.
The challenges and hurdles help me grow positively in the midst of them, so I am grateful for all my experiences because no matter how 'painful' they may be, they help me gain wisdom.
They are helping me rise higher each time !
It is going against gravity that helps us gain muscle.
It's the extra push, it's the pain, it's the discomfort, it's the discipline, it's the focus, it's the determination, it's the will.
Challenges = Opportunities
It's about finding those opportunities and making something amazing out of the experience.
Diamonds are made from intense pressure.
This is how I view these challenges because I become more peaceful within and stronger thanks to them.

This album took 1 year and 9 months to make.
I made beats for about 12 months before I started recording.
Most of those tracks were made in Berlin.
Others in Paris, on the plane, and Miami.
I play every sound. I don't place sounds, I play them.
I used the keyboard of my MacBook Pro and a USB Keyboard.
I have no speakers.
My equipment is limited but so much can be created with so little.
I used Pioneer headphones to mix this album because it's what I had.
I wrote and recorded 6 tracks in Miami within 2 weeks between Wynwood and Little Haiti, where I was going through challenging times everyday.
The rest was written and recorded in California within 2-3 weeks while living an experience which totally revolutionized my life and inspired mad content for this body of work.
I would play my beats in my ear phones while walking to get food at night in moments of escapism and write songs.
I write fast, so within 30 minutes I had a hook and verses to go.
Basically, each night I had a new song written after my walk.
It would take me about 1 hour or less to record it.
Back in Berlin, I mixed and made final touches on tracks while re-recording a few verses.
I am slowly learning about mixing.

The tracks are inspired by minimalist electronic music, due to spending time with my cousin in Underground Berlin Clubs where he mixed. Cool aesthetic mixed with experiences of love vibrations shared between myself and others were the catalyst to this project.
The BPMs are higher than hip hop tracks I hear from other artists.
I thank my cousin Tony Bar in Berlin for teaching me the basics of Ableton Live and being an inspiration for creating during the dark and cold winter.
