Lyrics for 'A Brief Reflection' by 'Nesian Mystik'
This Goes Out To All You Cleaning To Make Ends Meat
This Goes Out To You Working At The Office Suite
This Goes Out To Those Fear There Is No Hope
May My Passion Inspire So Please Listen In Close
This Is For My People Who Struggle With Education
This Is For My People Excelling Past Expectations
The Story Is Simple As Our Lives Pages Turn
From Our Journeys Of Passion May Your Conscience Mind Learn
Untarnished Flames Step Along Side Us
On Our Journey
Teachings Beam Through Our Rhymes
Humble Remains The Spirit That Guides Us
Conciseness In Our Lives
Chorus:
A Brief Reflection, Listen In Right Here
Of My Dreams, Teleport Me To Another Time
Courage Enhanced,together We Stepping Forth
No-one Can Hold Us Back
Through Where I’ve Been, We Are C.o.c.onuts
From The City
This Goes Out To Those Who Said We Wouldn’t Make It
And This Goes Out To Those Who Said We Wouldn’t Make The Cut
I’ve Seen My Share Of People Splittin Gypsy Myths
Crossed Paths With People Dodgier Stiffer Than 50 Pricks
But Still Theres Never Been An Obstacle Unnecessary
Looking Back The Reflections That Shit Was Legendary
Donald, Fred And Chelease Back In 96’
In The Beginning, Chapter 1, My Genesis
Chapter 2… Now That’s A Different Story
Leki And I Singing Hooks… Self Explanatory
Blossomed To Merge As Direct Harmony
It Was Bout That Time We Met The Fa’atasi Famolee
We Went Onto Rock Talent Quest’s, Numerous Shows
Last Minute, Rugged Cuts “haha” Sabre Knows
Hysterical Productions Lookin Back That’s History
Dispite The Horrors Of Flat Moments Friendship Remained The Key
Now Around 98’ Arch Dynasty Formed
Chapter 3, D.h & Fa’atasi Joint Force
Pasifika Festival To Grey Lynn Community
Laying The Foundations For This Nesian Mooli
Chapter 4, Enter The Final Thought
Remincing Back On Lessons Experienced, Once Taught
Contin-u-ly Proceed By Any Means Seen Fit
This Has Been A Brief Reflection Of How I’ve Lived
Repeat Chorus
Allow Me To Take You Back, To Where It All Began/
Listening To Street Poets Black Performing With My Dad/
Introduced To M.cing By My Cousin Scribe/
Way Before Him And P.money’s Thoughts Synchronised/
Along With Trax And N.a.t Formed The Fa’atasi Family/
Representing Afakasi’s C.o.c.o.n.u.t.z/
Unveiled Hip Hop In Depthly And What It Meant To Me/
Completed The Evolution Becoming An M.c/
The Art Form Called, Open Doors By Love Of People/
Doing The Gigs No Body Else Ever Would Concede To/
Bust Acoustic Stylistics With J.p Like Meditating/
Develop My Style And Content For Navigating/
Through The Shady Industry Which Comes As No Surprise/
At This Time D.l.t Truly Opened Up My Eyes/
He Said They’ll Try To Change You, But Don’t Let This Phase You/
They Can’t Contain The Truth, Simply Remain You/
So With Knowledge In My Pocket And A Fist Full Of Rhymes/
Progression Was Constant, Lyrics Slowly Refined/
While The Ignorant Criticized, Stepping On Hollow Ground/
Uplifting Belief Of Family Encouraged My Inner Sound/
The Spirit Guided Me Through Turbulent Monsoons/
A.k.a The Non-believers With Negative Attitudes/
May The Music Empower Strengthening Within Your Mental/
Unexpected Was The Rise Of These Cats From City Central
Repeat Chorus
7 Years Out Of Dale Wolves To Grey Lynn Ponsonby/ Living The Coconut Life And Dancing With The Family/ A.e.c.g Be The Group And Aitutaki Be My Roots/ I Remember Back In Intermediate Playing St Paul's Basketball 25 On 5 Yo Whats The Score/ Forget About Aint No One Gonna Care About It Same Hood Central Society Yo We Like To Party/ Western Springs Was My Lily-pad To Get Across The Pond To Prepare For These Rivers In The Years To Come/ And Introduced Me To My Brothers Advanced To Tropical Penguins But On That Topic I'll Not Mention/ 1 Year Concentration/ The Time Had Arrived Power To Techniques Backing Tracks Acoustic Gat 4 Mics/ Classroom Scheduled Practices To Share Mind And Arise Nesian Style/ The 4 Mics Nnow Turn To 5 As Sabre Promoted From Lyricist Advisor To The Monitors City Coconut Behaviour As Nesian Mystik Stands Strong/ Cos Everybody Knows Its On/ I'd Like To Send Acknowledgement To Those Who Set This Foundation For Aotearoa Music To Build With Self Composition/ Crossing Streets Down In Bay/ Running Grey/ponsonby As Home Base A Brief Reflection Of My Days
Repeat Chorus
I Remember Then….
Playing 3 Blind Mice On The Telephone
My Number Five And Eight Yaw Didn’t Work Though
Hi Hat Was A Pot
Frying Pan Kept The Snare Tight
Kitchen Percussionist That’s Right
Though Years Gone By
And Humbled With Time
Forever Left To Uncover
Reasons For Why
Too Many To Acknowledge
Those Who Set The Stage
For The Next To Proceed
Through To Second Base
Progression Of Form
Evolution Of A State
Of Mind
From Legends Of Our Own
To Pioneers From Across The Shores
Bringing Various Strengths To Compliment
Priceless Influence, Knowledge, Experience
Your Soul Stylist From Around The Way
Yes Keep It Rugged
