The Next Stage of Evolution:
One World, One People, ONE LOVE
Gnosticism: an esoteric system of mystical religious and philosophical doctrines, stressing knowledge as essential to salvation, viewing matter as evil, and variously combining ideas derived from mythology, ancient Greek philosophy, ancient religions, and, eventually, Christianity. In short, it is a system of “salvation by knowledge” rather than salvation through Jesus Christ.
2) The Signs of Society — Jesus said that society will become increasingly lawless and immoral as the time approaches for His return. In fact, He said it would become as evil as it was in the days of Noah
The Spiritual Signs The positive spiritual signs include the proclamation of the Gospel to the whole world (Matthew 24:14), a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Joel 2:28-32), and spiritual illumination to understand prophecies that have been "sealed up" until the end times (Daniel 12:4,9).
5) The Signs of World Politics — The Bible prophesies that there will be a certain pattern of world politics that will characterize the end time geopolitical map.

1/8 JOHN FARNAM – THE VOICE
We have the chance to turn the pages over.
We can write what we want to write.
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older.
We’re all someone’s daughter.
We’re all someone’s son.
How can we take a look at each other, down the barrel of a gun?
This time, we know we can all stand together, with the power to be powerful, BELIEVING we can make it better.’

‘Out on bail, fresh outta jail, California Dreamin. Soon as I step on the scene I’m hearin hoochies screaming. Feindin for money and alcohol, The life of a west side player where cowards die and it’s all BALL.’
‘Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die in LA we wearin chucks not ballies (that’s right). Dressed in Locs and Khaki suits and ride is what we do. Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews.’
‘Famous cause we’re programed. ‘

‘It’s westside so you know the row won’t bow down to no man.’
Say what you say but give me that bomb beat from DRE, let me serenade the streets of LA. From Oakland to sacktown, The Bay area and BACK DOWN.
‘Cali is where they put they mack down.’

‘Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name and it feels like home………

HEAVEN HELP ME!
2/5 2PAC – HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME
‘Here we go, turn it up, lets start. From block to block we snatchin hearts and jackin marks. And the punk police cant fade me, and maybe, we can have peace someday G.’
‘But right now I got my mind set up, lookin down the barrel of my nine, get up. Cause it’s time to make the payback fat, to my brothers on the block better stay strapped, black.’
‘And accept no substitutes, I bring truth to the youth, tear the roof of the whole school. Oh no I wont turn the other cheek, in case they cant see us while we burn the other week.’
‘Now we gotta hit em in a smash, blast. How long will it last til the po getting mo cash. Until then raise up, tell my young black males, blaze up. ‘
‘Life’s a mess, don’t stress, test. I’m givin but be thankful that you’re living blessed. Much love to my brothers in the pen. See ya when I free ya, not when they shove me in.’
‘Once again it’s an all out scrap. Keep your hands on your gat and now you boys watch your back. Cause in the allys out in Cali I’m a tell ya. Mess with the vest and the best couldn’t help ya.
SCREAM IF YOU FEEL ME, SEE IT CLEARLY? YOU’RE TOO NEAR ME
HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME
‘Pump your fists like this, HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME, Pump Pump if you’re pissed. To the sellouts livin it up, one way or another you’ll be given it up. I guess cause I’m black born, I’m supposed to sing songs, and get capped on.’
‘But it’s time for a new plan, BAM!. I’ll be singing like a one man clan. Here we go, turn it up, don’t stop. To my homies on the block getting dropped by cops. I’m still around for ya, keeping my sound underground for ya.’
‘And I’ma throw a change up. Quale, like you never brought my name up. Now my homies in the backstreets, the blackstreets, they fell me when they rollin they rollin in they fat jeeps.’
‘This ain’t just a rap song, a black song, tellin all my brothers, get they strap on. And look for me in a struggle, hustlin till other brothers bubble’-
‘Will I quit, will I quit. They claim that I’m violent, but still I keep representin, never good up on a good thing. Wouldn’t stop it if we could it’s a hood thing.’
‘And know I’m like a major threat, cause I remind you of the things you were made to forget. Bring the noise to all my boize, know the real from the bustas and te decoys.’
‘And if ya hustle like a real G, pump ya fists if ya feel me, holla if ya hear me.’
‘Learn to survive in the nine tree, I make rhym pay, others make crime pay, whatever it takes to live and stand, cause no-body else will give a damn.’
‘So we live like caged beasts, waitin for the day to let the rage free. Still me, till they kill me. I love it when they fear me. Holla if ya hear me.’
3/8 LIMAHL – NEVER ENDING STORY
‘Turn around, look at what you see. In her face the mirror of your dreams. Make believe I’m everywhere. Given in the lines, written on the pages is the answer to a never ending story.”
‘Reach the stars, fly a fantasy. Dream a dream and what you see will be.’
‘Rhymes that keep their secrets, will unfold behind the clouds. And there upon the rainbow, Is the answer to a never ending story.’
‘Show no fear, for she may fade away. In your hands, the birth of a new day.’

3/5 2PAC - CHANGES
“I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share in each other. We gotta start making changes. Learn to see me as a brother ‘stead of 2 distance changes. And that’s how its supposed to be. How can the devil take a brother if he’s close to me? I’d love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed and that’s the way it is.”
“I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races we under. I wonder what it takes to make this ONE better place…..lets erase the wasted. Take the evil out the people, they’ll be acting right. It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.
“We got to make a change… Its time for us a people to start makin some changes. Lets change the way we eat, lets change the way we live and lets change the way we live and lets change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn’t working and so its on us to do what we gotta do to survive.’
5/8 U2 - DISCOTHEQUE
‘You can reach but you can’t grab it. You can hold it, control it, you can’t bag it. You can push, but you can’t direct it. Circulate, regulate, oh no you cannot connect it.’
‘You know you’re chewing bubblegum, you know what that is but you still want some. You just cant get enough of that lovey dovie stuff.’
‘You get confused, but you know it. Yeah you hurt for it, work for it, you don’t always show it.’
‘Looking for the one, but you know you’re somewhere else instead. You want to be the song, the song that you hear in your head. LOVE’
‘It’s not a trick.. you can’t learn it. It’s the way you don’t pay that’s okay ‘cause you can’t earn it.’
‘But you take what you can get, cause it’s all that you can find. Oh you know there’s something more but tonight, tonight, tonight.’
‘Take these hands, they’re good for nothing. You know they have never worked a day. Take these boots, they’re going nowhere. You know these boots, they don’t wont to stray. You’ve got my head filled up with songs. You got my shoelaces undone. Take my shirt, go take it off me. You can tear it up if you can tie me down.’
‘Take the colours of my imagination, take the scent hanging in the air. Take this tangle of a conversation and turn it into your own prayer. With my fingers as you want them, with my nails in your side, with my teeth at your back and my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies.’
‘Love’s a bully, pushing, shoving, in the belly of a woman. Heavy rhythm taking over to stick together. Man and a women stick together.’
‘It looks like the sun but it feels like the rain. And there’s heat in the sun, to see us through the rain.’

Our film Our Glorious VISION
Our SOUND, Our Score that is WRITTEN
In this sport, this DIVISION
MY MY

Shit, EVERYBODY wants to soar in an instant.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE THE LORD OF THE RING WINS.
WE lay dormant and LISTENED
HIT IGNITION
Tore up the SYSTEM

The formulas mixing
FIRE the engine UP and bring THE FORCE to the pistons.
Never SAY Never
Whenever together we give and go with the flow FLIPPING like J
Orden and Pippen.
SLAM THE POINTS HOME
INSIGHT A WAR TO IGNITE THE BOARD
Wipe the FLOOR with the NOTES that WE WRITE and
HOLD DOWN with a MIC to STRIKE a CHORD.
And then they can hear that thunder with the hooves, when WE COME with the
HUNGER of the WOLVES.
They were warned and the RED FLAG FLEW and his
CREWED CRACKED THROUGH
It’s the RUNNING of the BULLS
TODAY, WE ARE TOGETHER
WHENEVER WE COME TOGETHER
THE WRITERS WRITE
THE CAMERAS ROLL
BECAUSE TOGETHER WE GOT POWER
THAT’S JUST!
SUN,
RAIN, SNOW OR HAIL
WE NEVER GOT LOST IN THE STORM
AND YOU

WHAT YOU GOT TIL IT’S GONE
LIFES ROUGHEST WEATHER
WE KNOW THE CODE WE STUCK TOGETHER
YEAH
AND
MY GOD

‘And accept no substitutes, I bring truth to the youth, tear the roof of the whole school. Oh no I wont turn the other cheek, in case they cant see us while we burn the other week.’
‘Now we gotta hit em in a smash, blast. How long will it last til the po getting mo cash. Until then raise up, tell my young black males, blaze up. ‘
‘Life’s a mess, don’t stress, test. I’m givin but be thankful that you’re living blessed. Much love to my brothers in the pen. See ya when I free ya, not when they shove me in.’
‘Once again it’s an all out scrap. Keep your hands on your gat and now you boys watch your back. Cause in the allys out in Cali I’m a tell ya. Mess with the vest and the best couldn’t help ya.
SCREAM IF YOU FEEL ME, SEE IT CLEARLY? YOU’RE TOO NEAR ME
HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME
‘Pump your fists like this, HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME, Pump Pump if you’re pissed. To the sellouts livin it up, one way or another you’ll be given it up. I guess cause I’m black born, I’m supposed to sing songs, and get capped on.’
‘But it’s time for a new plan, BAM!. I’ll be singing like a one man clan. Here we go, turn it up, don’t stop. To my homies on the block getting dropped by cops. I’m still around for ya, keeping my sound underground for ya.’
‘And I’ma throw a change up. Quale, like you never brought my name up. Now my homies in the backstreets, the blackstreets, they fell me when they rollin they rollin in they fat jeeps.’
‘This ain’t just a rap song, a black song, tellin all my brothers, get they strap on. And look for me in a struggle, hustlin till other brothers bubble’-
‘Will I quit, will I quit. They claim that I’m violent, but still I keep representin, never good up on a good thing. Wouldn’t stop it if we could it’s a hood thing.’
‘And know I’m like a major threat, cause I remind you of the things you were made to forget. Bring the noise to all my boize, know the real from the bustas and te decoys.’
‘And if ya hustle like a real G, pump ya fists if ya feel me, holla if ya hear me.’
‘Learn to survive in the nine tree, I make rhym pay, others make crime pay, whatever it takes to live and stand, cause no-body else will give a damn.’
‘So we live like caged beasts, waitin for the day to let the rage free. Still me, till they kill me. I love it when they fear me. Holla if ya hear me.’

‘Rhymes that keep their secrets, will unfold behind the clouds. And there upon the rainbow, Is the answer to a never ending story.’

3/5 2PAC - CHANGES
“I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share in each other. We gotta start making changes. Learn to see me as a brother ‘stead of 2 distance changes. And that’s how its supposed to be. How can the devil take a brother if he’s close to me? I’d love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed and that’s the way it is.”
“I see no changes. All I see is racist faces. Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races we under. I wonder what it takes to make this ONE better place…..lets erase the wasted. Take the evil out the people, they’ll be acting right. It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.
“We got to make a change… Its time for us a people to start makin some changes. Lets change the way we eat, lets change the way we live and lets change the way we live and lets change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn’t working and so its on us to do what we gotta do to survive.’

‘You know you’re chewing bubblegum, you know what that is but you still want some. You just cant get enough of that lovey dovie stuff.’
‘You get confused, but you know it. Yeah you hurt for it, work for it, you don’t always show it.’
‘Looking for the one, but you know you’re somewhere else instead. You want to be the song, the song that you hear in your head. LOVE’
‘It’s not a trick.. you can’t learn it. It’s the way you don’t pay that’s okay ‘cause you can’t earn it.’
‘But you take what you can get, cause it’s all that you can find. Oh you know there’s something more but tonight, tonight, tonight.’
‘Take these hands, they’re good for nothing. You know they have never worked a day. Take these boots, they’re going nowhere. You know these boots, they don’t wont to stray. You’ve got my head filled up with songs. You got my shoelaces undone. Take my shirt, go take it off me. You can tear it up if you can tie me down.’
‘Take the colours of my imagination, take the scent hanging in the air. Take this tangle of a conversation and turn it into your own prayer. With my fingers as you want them, with my nails in your side, with my teeth at your back and my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies.’
‘Love’s a bully, pushing, shoving, in the belly of a woman. Heavy rhythm taking over to stick together. Man and a women stick together.’
‘It looks like the sun but it feels like the rain. And there’s heat in the sun, to see us through the rain.’

HUNGER of the WOLVES.
They were warned and the RED FLAG FLEW and his

It’s the RUNNING of the BULLS
TODAY, WE ARE TOGETHER
WHENEVER WE COME TOGETHER
