Sensse

Carpe Diem... A3bandas... Zigurat... 2006... Sensse...

[Kafes]
Life leaves marks on me that my skin preserves
I learned to pull this rope
I played and escaped through the left side
Caresses were a shield on my sensitive skin
I undress, show my scratches while this fist writes
I greet those I appreciate with a hug
I paid the price for wanting to touch the sky like a fool
I want to feel their cheek and their body close to mine, make contact
Hip-hop and Kafes sleep under the same blanket
A sense of touch, an intact path
to tread to not be just another guy among many
I wake up thinking the day will be great and I have faith
There are kisses that can be sweet and bitter like toffee
Don't you think I'm worth more as a dog than as an old man?
Every time I leave footprints I see my hair falling
The reflections in the puddles are never touched
It takes tact to reach broken souls

[Rayden]
I follow the trail, the essence forms portraits
Memories fade, others endure like cheap perfume
It's the scent that I capture without clothes, people
can smell like roses even wearing rags
I feel this stench like a balm, in contact with oxygen
the fragrance of the heart causes a stitch
We relive moments, I know there are scents that take you from
a kiss to a courtyard to that wet meadow
I, I scratch for my name and without smelling like lightning
I find airs of greatness where others don't see their flaws
where failure makes them smell their own fear
something cools their mind and their nose suffers, lives the thaw
The sky becomes fetid, of lives, of meaning
that everything tastes, tests whether you want it or not is its service
its purpose, make me feel like a rag
if I seek shortcuts and don't find them you can call me the scent

[Phobia]
I open my eyes and greet the day from my window
I stay silent every time I raise the blinds, I glance
injustice and chaos together on every corner
but who's the tough guy who pulls the thorn from this hurt world
Peace is not smelled or touched, it's negotiated
see this line, if you cross it, if you bother I'll take action
Look at the fine print, skip the traps
if you don't show the signs in this act they'll be white
I'll be frank: I like to imagine and fly alone
know myself, see deeper into my retina
it retains images, where I had to laugh and cry
intense moments provide encouragement to this sheet
With a look I tell you more than a thousand words
eyes are open doors to the mirror of the soul
calm, with the mind at work I'm a fragile glass
a cloudy day where I stand with my points of view

[Lumier]
Like the bad taste in your mouth after defeat
rap can take you beyond a remote loneliness
so far from everything and nothing that it exhausts you
it's like the last sip of alcohol that leaves your throat raw
A bittersweet path woven in the streets we live in
that feeds the hunger to feel alive
Sometimes it's better not to taste
than to have a bad drink in vain from a false brother's glass
Tired of having the palate
accustomed to savor your rap with nothing to envy
of promising so much delicacy, of forgetting what was promised
and trying to rectify with the leftovers
I feel bad, friend, it doesn't seem fair
to waste saliva on badmouthing, barking like a dog
I don't care if it's professional quality, I listen to everything
and you're wrong if there's nothing in your taste in national rap

[Eseeme]
I close my eyes and listen to everything around me
by a sense I can become a fighting cock
What would this man be without the noise that now sounds?
Just a mask but inside a soul in pain
I need to hear the city breathing, like Mos and Kweli
and hear the children screaming on the way to the keli
moans of a woman riding the lone ranger
who accompanies four in this neighborhood
I have that ability that many would like:
I see with my ears and make you see when I spit
Listening is the hardest task to learn
and a sound can make you see things from yesterday
You can love if you listen, you can hate if you shout
my advice is to pay attention if someone needs you
Words are carried by the wind, today I am chosen
because each term echoes in your ears
