Couch King Presents

Bonus track: Iced Shoulder with Stricknice, Steve Vercelloni, and S.Yamagishi

https://soundcloud.com/couch-king-presents/iced-shoulder-stricknice-syamagishi-steve-vercelloni-the-couch-king/s-fSzbD

I started this song more than a year ago, maybe even two years ago - lol. Thank you so much S.Yamagishi, Steve Vercelloni, and Stricknice for being so patient with me - haha!

This track went through tons of arangement changes. I originally couldn't come up with any decent lyrics or vocals so I asked tons of people to join in. But in the end, this song wanted me to come up with some vocals and lyrics to get it started. Thankfully Augenmerk blessed this track with her beautiful poetry and brought this song to final fruition.

Thanks you everyone for all your listening. All of your comments mean the world to me. I look forward to jumping on SoundCloud and listening to your music every single day!

Let this track bless you with the freedom to not take things to serious - haha!

Lyrics:

I have opened a song and danced into it,

full-throated into happiness

In this swinging I am, my breath is singing

A poem, euphony.

At the bottom of the heart is rest,

and the time clock stands still.

I want to live, clear and grounded, close to the earth,

and my love now serves the silence,

the blooming garden happiness.

Independant of the outer torment

my calmness contrasts with the pile of sorrow,

with oppressive nightmare,

the burden of breath and all the serious heaviness.

Don’t Take Things To Serious

Practice meditation right now

Practice meditation striving for levitation one day you may discover you can float come on over here let me show you how

Breath in the air deeply inhale

Breath in deeply then see if you can keep the prana flowing through your Nadis hold your breath but not so long that you turn pale and pass out

What is Tai chi quan translated

Translated in mandarin literally has the meanin' of supreme ultimate boxin’ practice slow now you know

Cultivate patience when given choice

Given choice all animals are inclined to put their mind to short-term rewards despite often greater benefits of long term rewards

Think Before speaking clearly

Thinking before speaking next thing you know your keeping your mouth zipped before you decide to let it rip

Don't Take Things To Serious

Have you found me, heaven? Now I am yours.

Banqueting on boundless joy,

breathlessly diving into the shriek with delight

which lasts behind all life.

Where do we come from, where do we go

and who am I?

From harmony to harmony

aspiring to abundance in the internal sense,

and my armor bursts, I sort my way.

I can't believe I got to work with these guys and on one track!

Lyrics:

And this one goes out to all the hypocrites

Reaping all the benefits

Saying if the shoe fits

Then you might as well lace it

While we sit and grin and face it

Heard you got a little happiness

Please pass it on and share it

Put it on a pin and wear it

Every morning when I wake up

I don't want to get up

I feel the ache in my head

Warning enough is enough

Put my feat on the ground

Cause I'm bound to keep going

Even though I wanna call out from my work I keep showing

Repeat, Repeat

Each week the same week

You seek, we all seek

A little peak, no a sneak peak

Something that's unique

Something that will pique

My fading interest

Cause my will is getting week

My will is getting week

My will is getting week

I need a little tweak

Something new between the sheets

Something indiscreet

Performing extraordinary feats

One order of...

Extra strong coffee not something that's too weak

Overworked and Underpaid

We wanna live the fantasy

If the shoe fit

Gonna lace it up

Wow

Those shoes are cool

Now

We aint playing the fool

Let's show em how

We gonna pull off the wool

And call those suckers out for being the wolf

And start seeing real and speaking the truth

Gonna exploit the people, better lace it up

If you misrepresent, better lace it up

Take advantage when unequal, better lace it up

Just to make an extra cent, better lace it up

Get down, outta town

People jam on it

Time to believe in yourself

If you got it then flaunt it

Seeking and speaking the truth to the youth,

I be braking and shaking my reality up

Calling my lies and my patterns all out

Gotta be real to your self to bring real change all about

If the shoe fit you gonna lace it up

Stomp your feet

If you think it ain't right!

Clap your hands

If you wanna unite!

Shoe Fit

Gonna lace it up

Yea gon build it up

We gon build it up

Gon build it up yea

I got hope i hope you got hope too

We can do whatever yea we want ta do

Gonna build the life that we dream now

Gonna make the world that we want now

Paving the way, paving the way

And this one goes out to all the hypocrites

Reaping all the benefits

Saying if the shoe fits

Then you might as well lace it

While we sit and grin and face it

Heard you got a little happiness

Please pass it on and share it

Put it on a pin and wear it

Overworked and underpaid

We wanna live the fantasy

Lyrics:

I grew up on Hip Hop

I just had to get my fix

Probably started in 1986

Licenced to Ill, Raising Hell, Hot, Cool & Vicious

Back when vinyl was delicious

I was listening to Mantronix

I used to hit the record stores, I heard every album and I still wanted more

Back in 84 was an early introduction

I used to watch beat street, put the cardboard on the floor

Had the gatefold, breakin’ instructions with the Egyptian, up rockin’ and pop & locking

I would do the snake and then we would bust a chain wave

Word

This is all from way back when

I used to watch Breaking, Wild Style with Fab 5 Freddy, Style Wars, Krush Groove, and Disorderlies, MTV Raps, and Rap City

The Ed Lover Dance, Do you remember that?

The Unwind Yourself sample, man that shit was phat, they just looped that

Brought up in the East Bay, California, Oakland, San Francisco, Hayward, Bay Area

Home Turf was my shit, Dominique would take you down to city streets with skate boarding clips, the bones brigade, graffiti artists, Vogue, Crayon, and Twist

I would ride the bart to the city, hop on the Muni, visit Psycho City

This is all from back in the day

I grew up on Hip Hop

Woa O O O Oh

I don’t care where I’m going

As long as it’s not home

I don’t care where I go

Just a regular snot nosed kid skate boarding through the neighborhood in Airwalk kicks

getting into trouble practicing flips and tricks

Shoplifting spay paint cans for kicks

Smashing bricks and breaking sticks

Head phones on, didn’t care about politics

Pocketing the latest Too Short hits,

Slap it in the Walkman cassette tape

Everything is great

Gravy on the plate

I grew up on Hip Hop

This is the completed version before it took on another life with Ang Kerfoot and Woz Supposedly: https://soundcloud.com/couch-king-presents/weighty-tree-the-couch-king

This song spreads the vibes of nonjudgemental, open minded, loving acceptance for all people, lifestyles, and points of view. May we all be free and safe to express our authentic true selves and boogie on down!

The Couch King also gives huge thanks to The Weighty Tree for making tons of music with me. Special thanks to Graphics on Televisions for asking the Couch King to kick this song off a long time ago. And thanks to my man Ill Dub of course!!!

Lyrics:

Let it on out now

Just let it on out

We all got something, that's weigh'n on our mind

We all got something, to get on off our chest

We've all had that feeling of being unaligned

We've all had that feeling, but now is the time to

Everybody's got something to say

Everybody's wants to feel good

Everybody's got something they want

Nobody wants to be misunderstood

Everybody wants to feel loved and express who they are without being judged

Everybody wants to do good and we all have opinions on the things that we should

Let it on out

So we can all get together

And all unite

So we can all be free

We didn't come to this planet to keep it all in

I'm here to tell you that now is the time

To move it and shake it and let it on out

Do you want to be heard

Do you want to feel alive

Do you want to be free

Do you want to let it on out

This track is from a time when SoundCloud was on our side and allowed the community a lot of exposure. But I also enjoy this more intimate and real time we got going on.

Shining light on your gardens, on your food, and on your health. Blessing 'em up!!!

Lyrics:

oooh baby I like it raw

carrots and broccoli

cucumbers and lettuce

I will cook 'em raw for you and you will be my goddess, yea

I got healthy treats that you just can't beat, no

were deconstructing food and were breaking it down to pieces, yea

I eat for love

and I eat to survive

I eat for nutrition and I eat to stay alive

oooh baby, I like it raw

oooh baby, I like it raw

I got the sun set and sun shine captured in my food

with the rain drops and moon shine all the world is renewed

I got the sun set and sun shine captured in my food

with the rain drops and moon shine all the world is renewed

the first thing you need is a strong nutritious soil

the first rule after seed is to never leave it bare

you reap the benefits of the toil

you reap the benefits of the toil

with a top layer of mulch, you cover it with care

protected from the elements, now, you say your solstice prayer

worms and banana peels make my compost gay

coffee grounds and tea leaves keep the slugs away, oh

I once heard someone say, sow bountifully

And receive it in fully, my love receive it, oh yea!

oooh baby, I like it raw

I got the sun set and sun shine captured in my food

with the rain drops and moon shine all the world is renewed

I got the sun set and sun shine captured in my food

with the rain drops and moon shine all the world is renewed

Giving thanks to all that is

This song is for freedom

It is a blessing to be a part of this SoundCloud community

Fun fact! This song evolved from this song:

https://soundcloud.com/alpha-roots/binghi-biscuits

I was so inspired by Alpha Roots original Nyabinghi drumming I had to make another original song using the Binghi Biscuits drum stem that showed my great respect and love for Nyabinghi chants in Reggae Music.

Lyrics:

On a day sweetened by a breeze that enlightens us with prana

I wanna climb this earth to find a place where we will sing hosanna

hosanna, hosanna

I wanna climb this earth to sing hosanna

And in sweet meditation we will meet to dance in ultimate freedom

Floating in the universal ghee outside of Vishnu’s dream in Eden

In Zion, in Eden

We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom

In Eden, in Zion

We will meet to dance in ultimate freedom

Giving thanks to the Miracles, i love that version dearly.

Lyrics:

I don't like you but I love you

Seems like I'm always thinking of you

Oh you treat me badly

I love you madly

You really got a hold on me

Baby I don't want you

But you know I need you

Don't want to kiss you

But I need to

Oh you do me wrong now

My love is strong now

You really got a hold on me

You really got a hold on me

Baby, I love you and all I want you to do is

hold me, hold me, hold me

I need you to feel who I am

You show me the world

Without you, it's all cold, damn

I get lost trying to find myself

I need you to hold me tighter

Tell me it's all real

Make me feel bad

Make me feel mad

Wrap around me tighter

And then take me higher

I just want to be inside you a little bit

tighter

Because it's too hard to just be inside of me

Take me to that final place

Tighter

I wanna leave you

Don't want to stay here

Don't want to spend another day here

Sending out inspirations of creativity and the joys of collaboration!

Lyrics

Human:

My doggy dug a great big hole

She dug it in the ground

She was digging for a rabbit

For she made that rabbit sound

How'd it go?

Woofa Woofa Digga Digga

Woofa Woofa Digga Dig

My doggy dug a great big hole

She dug it in the ground

She was digging for a rabbit

For she made that rabbit sound

That Rabbit Sound

Woofa Woofa Digga Digga

Dog came flying through the air

In my socks and down my gumboots

In my teeth and in my hair

Dog:

And this one goes out to all the fine furry creatures out there

hear me now!

I dig in deep with the claws of fury

I get the passion and I'm off in a scurry

Off me to catch me a fine piece of furry

You never know when your gonna get a lucky

I got no worries

I got no worries

Gonna dig me some deep deep holes

Live life simply

Rabbit:

You

You can't catch me

Digga digga

You can't catch me

Canine fang

You can't catch me

Ya ain't gonna snatch me

I am going, I am going to run

I am going, I am going to run

You can't catch me

You can't snatch me

You can't reach me

You can't reach down the rabbit hole

Human:

My doggy dug a great big hole

She dug it in the ground

She's digging for a rabbit

For she made a rabbit sound

Lyrics

I came from stars

Formed of gaia, sprung from the holy well

Transformation

Sometimes the angel flies away and leaves me with the devil on my shoulder

battle with these demons elevated awareness as we’re older

Requiem for a dream that’s been lost in the solar

I lean into the turns this life can be a roller coaster.

Step in with the vocal weapon I was never one to holster.

Repping my culture til the day my brains only being picked apart by the vultures.

Plugging out of the matrix as I shape shift from the basics,

Improving third eye vision giving probono lasiks, let’s face it we so fallen from grace,

the roots have been infected and I still feel it in the bass. as I sit back and contemplate fate

as of lately the body’s getting slim and the mind is feeling shady,

when the art becomes about whose gunna pay me.

I’m like man who really even cares if they pay me?

this movements for the music, and man I’m about to lose it

real recognize real, and blatantly I’m screaming fuck a record deal

them labels don’t feel the truth, and that’s all I speak in the booth

never turn my back on the muse, I just cruise to the border of oblivion

the gems were hidden in ourselves so I’m ripping through my brain cells,

come get tossed by the swells of the ocean that rippled through time with the rhymes,

the regimes in our prime like it’s Octomus time

or apocalypse time…. naw

the divides were only constructs of our minds

Lyrics:

my consciousness is not in me

i am in my consciousness

i am not in my body

my body is in me

this body's all i got

your body's all i want

this body is my temple

why don't you come pray with me

My temple is where I play

Your temple is where i wish to pray

Our temple is where we meet in heaven

Why don't you come pray with me

she looked at me, then

i looked at her

and then she said there ain't

nothing wrong

with this

physical plane, but lets just sit and meditate

We were once lovers, I knew you from a past time

and you knew me

I once was a luminous sphere of plasma

And you were my gravity

I remember when we were two sets of interlaced threads

In a beautifully woven tapestry

I loved it when you rubbed against me

Friction

There were times when we exploded like when we of singularity

wasn't that something

How we did grow, exponentially

Especially me haha

All things come from you

And all things emerge internally

Blessing to our dreams may they always be a source of our prosperity

I once dreamed we were two facing mirrors under an ancient tree

On another planet in another galaxy

In the past of a future time in an alternate reality

But the point is, I was in you and you were in me

How we used to make love

Energetically

those were sacred moments when the spirit filled us with clarity

Yo I got mad abundance

Won't you come pray with me
