The Return

(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
it's the return of the G, like Andre
put your hands in the air make arms sway
if you're bad to the bone and feeling alright in the hard hard days
(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
I'm here to joke about some people that I know
collect your sense of humor, sit back and listen to close
Not so long ago, when rap wasn't so cold
nobody knew what we do, me and BV spitting flows
As the days keep on ticking, one day we met a soul
Said he's an organizer and also CEO
turned to V and said, I like the way you rhyme
so sign the dotted line, don't read the print is fine
Flash a curving smile, said he wants to make us rich
said he wants performance but no pay, he hit the switch (Switch)
10 years to this day, still payments kinda vague
Krunk they do me a favors, to give me what I made
my rap, I rap away and replace the R in RSJ
Azadi's political until you're pressing play
so careful what you claim, and look before you aim
the trees and frogs the same, Anti-social sort of name
Selling out to crooks, broke artists are to blame
so don't call this a comeback...
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
it's the return of the G like Andre
put your hands in the air make arms sway
if you're bad to the bone and feeling alright in the hard hard days
(Verse 2: Smokey the Ghost)
Let it be known that I am the greatest that ever rock the mic, Like a clock, I strike
This industry fucked up, made a cynic out of Rahul Giri
But show no pity, I go all out Pallemoni
Can't leave rap alone, the game needs my alimony
See Raps my wifey, and Rap is sleeping with sand above it
I Wake the princess with no kisses like I'm disco puppet
I'm from the basement I hope to make it to cosmic's attic
I cross the line
Take what is mine
Delay my payment
Elusive vibes
Take back your lies, your
Views and your likes
Fuck it
I'm quitting rap and ill rap when I'm saying that, and I snap and you play this back, cause punk never craved the craft, I bunked every day of class, thunk every punch impact
In fact, don't call this a comeback...
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
it's the return of the G, like Andre
put your hands in the air make arms sway
if you're bad to the bone and feeling alright in the hard hard days
it's the return of the G like Andre
put your hands in the air make arms sway
if you're bad to the bone and feeling alright in these hard hard days
(Verse 3: Smokey the Ghost)
They put out the spark now a days
it's so dark now days,
Can't see the vision, pinch of salt now days
Don't let my brother Naqu Project his art, now a day,
so fucking hard now a days, don't pray to god now a days
now a days, I'm driven... on alcohol now a days,
blinded on our mission, wannabe stars now a days
given that our vision don't go far now a days
When the heights of ambition tall is dwarf now a days
it's so cold now a days, yours and mine now a days,
my brother joe felt a shiver down his spine now a day
I went to magnetic fields, stood in shade now a days
Times is grave, greed is plague now a days, its the return

(Intro)
(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
Hello world, The code of beginning
How far have we come on this ball that is spinning
Apart from the armor of ego defenses
It must be the winning of capitalism
(Breathe)
Is Killing a family's filling of stomach
When Syrian sons, are still in the syrup
As cynical winners administered sinners
To blow up the building of trade
(Breathe)
You're trumping a Donald, he's actually goofy
But that all folks
You killed David bowie
Act like the Muslims don't even know thee, you're changing a vote to give it to...
(Breathe)
Tsunami that swallow the seas
Demontize all of your greed
Nobody cheese
Surgical striking your efficacy
(Breathe)
Sounds like your human, don't know what your doing, voting for change in search of the chosen
Hating the homos and dissing our women
RSSVP Hitler and Lennon
Ain't we just human, or have we forgotten
By blaming the others, you're part of the problem, look up inside you, I ask you to breathe
Ain't you just human, I ask you Breathe
But I don't receive an answer, Human self has fallen to feet...
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
Dead
So i put my
Ears
To your head
You spoke
And you said
In the last of your breath (2)
Hello world (Hey)
Hello world (Did you see?)
(That we been)
Hey
Did you know
That we been...
Hey
Did you see
That we been...
(Sax Solo by RJT)
(Verse 2: Smokey the Ghost)
For flyovers, you took all our trees
Cause Human superior breed
The white man is senior still, more melanin needy for cheap
Labor and whipping
Your cheek is turning like Gandhis on fleek
I figured the father of speech, has vigor to pardon the weak
The scissor you sought to your sheep
Cause human superior breed...
The white man is senior still, more melanin needy for cheap
Labor and whipping
Your cheek is turning like Gandhis on fleek
I figured the father of speech, has vigor to pardon the weak
The scissor you sought to your sheep
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
Dead
So I put my
Ears
To your head
You spoke
And you said
In the last of your breath (2)
Hello world (Hey)
Hello world (Did you see?)
(That we been)
That's all folks
(Breathe adlibs & Sax Solo by RJT)

Ya'll need drugs break (2)
Ya'll need (3)
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
But then the Grass is never greener for the one that cut the turf
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
And then the flowers always sweeter, for the one that crush the bud
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
But then the Grass is never greener for the one that cut the turf
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
And then the flowers always sweeter, for the one that crush the bud
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
I guess we all need drugs
(belly bottom)
Ya'll need drugs
(disregarded)
I guess we all need drugs
(dwell in darkness)
Ya'll need...
Cherry orange
Yall need drugs
(belly bottom)
I guess we all need drugs
(disregarded)
I guess we all need drugs
(dwell in darkness)
Ya'll need...
Cherry orange
(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
I guess we all need drugs, break petty armors
26 of every August
Have some pity on us, I'll be very honest
Feel the worlds retarded
(mumbles and lights joint)
Guess my humbleness mistaken to be Petty hearted
And I stumble into people acting disregarded
When life is full of dangers that are still evolving
Survival of the fittest is the very problem
Yet pretty darn sure, that I've been regardless
The sun of my mother set Cherry orange
I'm Semi-conscious, that the zen dissolves in
Put a pretty nice girl, in a pretty coffin
Ýa'll need drugs in the belly bottom, all these words that I wear, spelling garments
Why you struggling to fly, still dwell in darkness
When our minds hold the keys to any carpet
so jealous of the fellas that are writing acapellas when the ones doing choruses, never did a verse
we born to be a choir and inherit him and her's
why hammer on chisel when the stone can never trust
I sculpt a human being and I'm left with only dust
my nerves are made of steel and my tears can never trust
as we run the race of races why we fighting to be first
cause when we reach the finish, I diminish into dirt
sometimes on the fast lane, you let the car cruise
let go of the steering bobbleheads nod too
cause when I went to school, the teacher taught me alphabets, I smoke only the Ws, tryna find the juice
Dissolve a bit of A, in the water, set me free
I'm so confident of myself, I don't need to sniff the Cs
# tagging what I breathe, magician of belief, but can you spot a cherry orange,
Oh shit I got it
guess we all need...
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
But then the Grass is never greener for the one that cut the turf
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
And then the flowers always sweeter, for the one that crush the bud
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
But then the Grass is never greener for the one that cut the turf
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
And then the flowers always sweeter, for the one that crush the bud
And That's why I spark a cherry,
Fuck the world
I guess we all need drugs
(belly bottom)
Ya'll need drugs
(disregarded)
I guess we all need drugs
(dwell in darkness)
Ya'll need...
Cherry orange
Yall need drugs
(belly bottom)
I guess we all need drugs
(disregarded)
I guess we all need drugs
(dwell in darkness)
Ya'll need...
Cherry orange

(Intro & Kannada sample)
(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
Living up in Bangalore man I thought that everybody walk this way
wake up to pe cos, my mojos peak when I sip this haze
Vidhan Soudha lion got every cubb-on the park to play,
All hail the queen that put Empires on a churches way
No fan of Gandhi, my punches echo in Koshy says
So Chinnaswamy let identity teleport away
you probably can start it, I'll follow wherever UB
Cantonment of coolies, enrolled in the gravy to float
as IT reverse AKs make a Area-code
Ashoka took golf balls, no birdes to hole, they fucked my city my soul
Cause a Hideous growth
Turn my moody Monroe, into a dubious hoe,
But
I
Got to be patient
Thank goodness gracious
Hearts full of latent emotions that never made it
Incarcerated by Self-doubt
You try to fake it
Dwell in thoughts that never was, Her Rebel cause
Overthunk reality, she's walks the peril par
An idle mind stations nothing but the devils shop
Control by the chemicals, turned her to an animal, escaping a 9-5, be slave of mechanicals
Remember
that you got to be patient
Black white or Asian
Follow no nation
Troubles we face em
Without standing ovations
Welcome to home, post-colonial invasion
(Chorus: Aerate Sound & Smokey the Ghost)
Turn on your vision, our two eyes frown don't you
See no Religion, sing
I'm alright
Turn on your vision, our two eyes frown don't you
See no Religion, sing
I'm alright
(Verse 2: Smokey the Ghost)
Living up in Bangalore, man I thought ill never make it
In a city populated full of silly occupations
We travel so majestic, like tipu's summer palace
Never Sold it in an auction, so national's the market,
Similar apartments same cinema of solace
As synonyms of people still differ where the heart is
City of the gardens, girls are pretty, boys are honest
Every breath is cherry orange, Lal bagh is like a forest.
I'm nothin but a petal, you all nothing but a flower, Bangalore's a plant, man it's sunny when it showers
Got women weed and Weather, and our anthers so developed, but I wish our ways were higher like we vishaveshwar iyer
Love scatters like its Raman, haters sprouting every autumn, take steps full of caution or be stuck up in the bottom
Treasure the distortion, mix a measure of emotion, to make a song about my home, the hole I feel it often
But
I Never
Leave Bangalore broken
My vocals are spoken by the people thats woken
Open mind and they focus, unless they croak up in opus, welcome to home...
Unless you doubt this is Bogus
Please Remember
that you got to be patient
Black white or Asian
Follow no nation
Troubles we face em
Without standing ovations
Welcome to home, post-colonial invasion
(Chorus: Aerate Sound & Smokey the Ghost)
Turn on your vision, our two eyes frown don't you
See no Religion, sing
I'm alright
Turn on your vision, our two eyes frown don't you
See no Religion, sing
I'm alright

Shy Boy
02:12

I'm feeling so
Feeling so
feeling so
I'm feeling so shy my butterflies turn cannibals
They're in my stomach eating on the sight of the beautiful
attracted but i couldn't, describe it all of a sudden
Theory of relativity sitting on that oven
No quitting, push the button, over thinking's cushion cuddle
From the cup of love my emotions spill and bubble Still i cannot speak in fullness, Anxiety reach the brim
In the ocean for many years, my crushes couldn't swim
Why Society made rules that dude's don't ever tear
Went to a boy's school no barbies with my peers
Involve me with your ears, no male will be my suitors
Homosexuals and pussies don't qualify as abuses
cause i'm
Shy boy, Shy boy, Yeah yeah
I'm a shy boy, shy boy yeah yeah
I'm a shy boy, shy boy so shy
I feel too shy to ask for help,
Never sent the S.O.S
It rains when im lonely, so i speak in only
Consonants
Shy about the I and U, im Fired but the fire's blue, thats why i stay so quiet, as they riot in my mockery,
The truth is, the straight appear smudged
Why rely on eye witness, when law is blind and bugged,
Life is but a flower tugged under the crudest form of stone
Don't need girls who dig for gold
But ones who purify my (Breathe)
Let the funnels of our love mix and unify the soul
But if you choose a man of muscle,
then brace to pay the toll
I Embrace the vessel given, sip no greed that's overflown,
Cause I know the grass is always greener when .will settle slow
Shy boy, Shy boy, Yeah yeah
I'm a shy boy, shy boy yeah yeah
I'm a shy boy, shy boy so shy
Shy boy, Shy boy, Yeah yeah
I'm a shy boy, shy boy yeah yeah
I'm a shy boy, shy boy so shy

(Verse 1: Unknown)
Lyrics to the verse are unknown.
(Chorus: Unknown)
Pathetic flower form
Embryos of religion
I take it all into my diminishing sight
(Verse 2: Smokey the Ghost)
Pathetic flower form
Embryos of religion
I take it all into my diminishing sight
Brown is what I'm like, they Divided into petals, my faces prefer the White's
Broken by my prisms, I don't care about the White dudes
Colors they see major, be like damn I ain't part of the palette
And If I ever was born, if I ever was born as the cleverest orchid
Miss Myself I'll never get owned by the surrogate clones
Stigmas, but anther is thicker
Every bee is the broker
Only sex after marriage
Offer your feelings
Worried
Untouchable tulips that color the sun
Throw Flower or crap at you, funny I laugh at your humanish form
Listen
Cyclone, your like psyclone
Inwards with your sins, live massive in psyc homes, like as if you're a wuss
sporting the white shoes
listen
I drop my vision like
(Chorus: Unknown)
Pathetic flower form
Embryos of religions
I take it all into my diminishing sight

Brother (X3)
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost)
I'm a South Indian macha, brown skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sensitive brother
I'm a South Indian macha, brown skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sensitive brother
I'm a South Indian macha, brown skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sensitive brother
I'm a South Indian macha, brown skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sen...cow sen... cow sen...
(ohhh)
(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
Indian, you know that I got that curry on my clothes
I crack your head on the same stone that the coconuts were broke
Even Helium feels lower than the Mysore mall you smoke
So take a drag of that idiki gold, that south Indian dope
(drag)
Way beyond the soul, your like that gravy of my clothes,
put my lady up, on hold to sniff my daily dose of hope,
Ur aliens, the human's life was taken off the globe, pimped and painted on a poker face, your faith all a joke
Brown or white or black, in the bone we all will crack,
let me remind that Death is blind, we all the same in fact, Please
excuse
my south Indian genes, I'm that brown syndicate, crowned intellect, cow sensitive brother
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost)
I'm a South Indian macha, brown skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sensitive brother
I'm a South Indian macha, brown skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sensitive brother
I'm a South Indian macha, brown skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sensitive brother
I'm a South Indian macha, brown-skinned in my colour.
Found infinite, crowned intellect, cow sen...cow sen...cow sen
(Verse 2: Smokey the Ghost)
Joe, well I got this flow
Shoot you in the temple and the gods Invoked
Laughing like I'm Senthil, when
I pardon jokes
With a little bit of spice, all of the girls and guys got digits to count to infinite twice, (hella brown)
Ego from the north, better Settle down
You don't wanna prey on my Pheromones
Melanin, in my element, better tell a foe
That I'm coming
Heads wanna bang to the sound of a thavil, can't shake hands when I'm sipping on the rasam, Proud of the place I'm from,
Malleshwaram
Hit the Malabar when I wanna eat the putta
Enter Tamil nadu when I wanna do the kutthu
Telangana, cuse my bros Alamuru, HYD but I speak with you in thulu
(thulu)
and all this fucking hate for Bollywood is obvious
Ramanujan but north isn't counting us
put the fucking limits, but I tend to the conscious
saved by the bell, my flows be so Gaussian...
But i'm coming
here to get the crown, chenddai on the drumming
show you what I'm bout, every human is a flower
we the fucking petals so be proud of what is ours,
I can see
I can see
Rappers fake as they can be
I'm that G but still so southern
So Fuck Smokey RIP
I'm that macha, phony people speech awoke me from my sleep.
Why these people standards be so weak your sheep, so call me G
I'm that macha
Bring some beef,
I Pluck some plantain leaves to eat
Guess your life needs to be filtered like its South Indian coffee, I'm that macha
So excuse my South Indian genes
I'm the brown syndicate, crowned intellect
Here to remind you peeps...
(Outro)
That black or white or brown.
In the bone, we all will crack
That black or white or brown.
In the bone, we all will crack, I'm the macha

When you move, you move
When you move, you move
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Shubhangi)
Shout out
Anyone there
Does anyone care
Is there anything fair, hey, hey
Hear us shout out
Anyone there
Noone here shares
Nothings fair, just truth & dare
Rejuvenate and...
(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
Varna system, Kal brahmin I'm on a mission
here to spit shlokas on all your homas if you will listen
the owner of my decisions make elastical collisions
I'm rapping about the whites so put my vocals through a prism
as people falling victims to all the world's religions
when smokey is the prophet and the ghost is competition
i'm inflammation rising in the foreigner's invasion but my aadhaar never said...
I'm from the anti-nation, I resent the thoughts of patience
made a simple observation
criminals with power make an Indian politician
let's have a conversation why we gave the brush to satan when the canvas that we paint on, is by, from and for the people
do I see the god as equal?
or he is just placebo?
To an existential seeker
I'm the solitary reaper
(Pre-Chorus: Smokey the Ghost)
I'm broken-spirited, brown color's the heritage, sound power's the element
crowned the king of melanin I...
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Shubhangi)
Shout out
Anyone there

Is there anything fair, hey, hey
Hear us shout out

Nothings fair, just truth & dare

(Post Chorus: Aerate Sound)
When you move, you move
When you move, you move
Broken spirited, brown color's the heritage (3)
Crowned the king of melanin, bound my individuals...
(Verse 2: Smokey the Ghost)
Varna system, Kal brahmin I make you listen
Like heating of milk, I've risen to sit for a nation's anthem
I question your patriotism
You criminals took my mother
(pretending to save us all), put brothers against each other
They Plucking the human flower, we're petals of different colors
Searching to find the shade in the deserts of freedom struggle
Where water is just like money, thirsty to sip the power
But really they poking holes in our vessels, we couldn't fill it
(Pre-Chorus: Smokey the Ghost)
I'm broken-spirited, brown color's the heritage, sound power's the element
crowned the king of melanin
bound by individuals...

Hurl light into me through darkness
Hurl light into me through darkness
(Verse 1: Smokey the Ghost)
Human flower
With the
Pretty petals
And its
Gone missing
In the storm
Wishing that I'm wrong
But I'm not Strong
Wish I'm not
Born in the world
Am I Lit as fuck
Should I give it up
In the shade
They try and rub
But I never fade
Let the light
Shine bright in thee
I was
Very sour
Life is
heavy struggle
and they call me hater
Am I negativer
Cause I shed a tear
My blood is fear
cause
Trouble tower
Over
Me
Let you mind
set it free
My brothers
Diefferent
Saw him
Suffer
cause I
Saw him shiver
But I Couldn't
Help
With the deck I delt
I was sick of hell
So promise lovers
Let it shower and ..
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
Hurl light into me through dark...
Hurl light in me through dark
Hurl light in me
Hurl light in me through dark
in Darkness.
(Verse 2: Smokey the Ghost)
Human form
From the beard and bald
Smell the cherry orange, and show me, love.
Take a steady pace, when you ready race
It's harder now a days anyways
The human form
Petals black and white
Brown and olive, yellow is an alibi
It is all a blur but never mind
I'm back to my roots alumni
Family pulls you down
When haters are neighbors
We all realizing now,
Light and dark nothing but matter
We on a ball, that spin
We are the same, it matters
Why we fight? Why we fall?
Can we all come together and...
(Chorus: Smokey the Ghost & Aerate Sound)
Hurl light in me through dark
Hurl light in me through
Hurl light in me through dark
Hurl light in me through
Hurl light in me through dark
Hurl light in me through
Hurl light into me...
