Rooted In 01:13
Rooted in - Microphone check! GAEA 2018. XVX. Vegan Straight Edge Rap. My shoes have seen the world. Let’s start with the roots, start with the basics. Yo, yo, yo just check out this old style beat, the ground is moving beneath my feet. Skate, break, Basketball in the street. Got my walkman and headphones and my cap is just like the hat of Indiana Jones. My day starts with a natural juice freshly squeezed I do no booze. (Straight Edge) Forever sober, I gotta stay real. I feed my body a vegetarian meal. (Go Vegan) I support the local grocery store. I love punk, rap, folk and hardcore. Time flies I wanna experience more, increase the peace and stop the war. I eat no meat I respect the heart beat. I greet every single earthling I meet. I hear the beat and I feel the heat, now everyone jumps to this old school hit. Jump, jump to this old school hit. (x4) Pump up the volume just a little bit listen to my words that’s all I got to spit. Let the sun shine inside of you. Smile to the world and represent your crew too.

Stand Strong 02:17
Stand Strong - Oooohhhhh, I fall down to rise back up so watch me rise up. I’m standing strong. I’m standing strong. Yeah, I stand tall. (x2) I want it. I want it all. I know it’s risky and that I might fall but I want it, I want it all. All I want in life is to be fed with soul food. It’s fair, fair means justice. It’s all good. When I felt I should I did everything I could to keep the PMA – a posi outstanding mood. I want to be smooth so I avoid to be rude, I want the real thing so I skip the interlude. With a lot, a lot of things I just can’t cope even so I keep the faith cuz there is hope. No drugs, a clean life, sober is the new dope. Keeping my neck as far as possible from the rope.
Oooohhhhh, I fall down to rise back up so watch me rise up. I’m standing strong. I’m standing strong. Yeah, I stand tall. (x2) I want it. I want it all. I know it’s risky and that I might fall but I want it, I want it all. All I want is sun, swim shorts and a tank top. Sunglasses, a sun tan and my flip flops. Apple in my mouth. Organic fruit rocks. I jump on my bike and cycle around the blocks. Rhymes in my head, imaginary beat box. GAEA in the house I’ll make you jump just like Kris Kross. Cross V cross, I report to no boss. I wanna it all but I’m fully aware of the cost. The world is cold but I’m the flame against the frost. I chose my own path this kid won’t get lost. Oooohhhhh, I fall down to rise back up so watch me rise up. I’m standing strong. I’m standing strong. Yeah, I stand tall. (x2)

Tree Top 04:16
Tree Top - I seize the moment, I seize the day. I’m in the right now in the present I’m gonna stay. Hello sunshine, I watch the sunrise. Yoga in the morning, it’s good to exercise. I climb to the top of the tree. To have an open mind, that is the key. I’m giving the best of me. I fly away, my heart is free. (x2) So I just close my eyes in order to see cuz that is the only real way to be free and with that in mind I really have to agree I owe my life to this Earth and my family .To have an open mind that is the key so I’ll open my soul in one, two, three. This life is so great, life is a beauty and I’m so grateful, I am so lucky. With my brothers and sisters right by my side I stretch, my arms are open wide. I feel the wind blowing against my face This breeze is a bless and I’m blessed with good grace. Enjoying every second oh yeah I’m having fun. I’m sweating because I run, run, run and run. Giving my everything to achieve my goals while being kind to all the individuals. I climb to the top of the tree. To have an open mind, that is the key. I’m giving the best of me. I fly away, my heart is free. (x2) I see and smell and feel and listen. I feel so swell and kneel to the sun. Breathing in and out. Getting ready to shout out loud: this is what life is all about. (Love) Yet a small group later becomes a crowd. We build our castle right up in a cloud. Oh my, you can’t beat the feeling of DIY. The revolution starts in the kitchen with a vegan pie. Everyone goes for seconds so don’t be shy. Real change starts within, with you and I. I plant the seeds of the new world to come love is the answer, here you go, have some. I wanna give without asking anything back. I only wanna keep track yeah so I press rec. In my mind I keep my memories intact. I see more goodness, feels so good to see the world react. I climb to the top of the tree. To have an open mind, that is the key. I’m giving the best of me. I fly away, my heart is free. (x2) I stand up. I rise up. I start to live the dream. Just like that I elevate my own self esteem. This is my chance and I grab the opportunity. I know that my actions affect my community. I value freedom cuz things are just things. Learning. Evolving. Absorbing all the teachings. Valuable lessons given from real masters: the animals, the forests and the ghetto blasters. Powerful boombox, giving us the music. Sweet beats, fresh tracks. They are so sick. I let myself go with the flow. Open heart yo only like this I’ll grow. I’m feeling good, I’m watching the sunset. Relaxing and smiling and laughing - you bet! Soon the stars will light the way and I’m gonna follow them no matter what they say. I climb to the top of the tree. To have an open mind, that is the key. I’m giving the best of me. I fly away, my heart is free. (x2)

Music Message - This is Vegan Hip Hop! The music! The message! GAEA. Rap. I always try to speak up my mind, evolving with all the information I can find. I try to improve myself all the time - I get active - words and actions I combine. My head is spinning cuz where’s the meaning in a life full of lies? Blagh! That’s deceiving! Here’s a tip: question everything! This life, their lives, your life - everything! Planet Earth - this is where I belong and that’s why I keep fighting. I’m against what’s wrong. I express myself in this song. But listen, I need to react, I have waited too long. I give my best to make this world a better place. We live too fast but that’s OK cause I set my pace. Step by step, walking down this road. Just a regular kid setting on the rebel mode. I write and rap about how I live. About what I wanna get and what I wanna give. This is just me being me. No filters, no tricks. I’m right here - I’m all that you can see. I search for the truth among all the lies with one tender heart and two shinny eyes. I live for these forests, mountains and flat lands. I always try to grab my life with my bare hands. I live for the ocean, the sky and the beach. I respect the cow, the dog and the blood sucking leech. I scream with the lion, the tiger and the gorilla. I walk among a wolf pack, represent a guerilla. I chill with the koala, sloth and the orangutan. We’re different but the same cuz we speak the same slang. I run with the leopard, the horse and the grizzly. I fight for liberation and I live to be free. I fly with the seagull, the eagle and the bee. If I change the world will change with me. A revolutionary - that’s all I wanna be.

Deadly Frequency - They are broadcasting lies 24/7 – This System kills! It’s time to shut it down! They can’t break me. They can push me but I’m not gonna fall. It’s me against their world and their world against us all. They feed me with lies everyday, they want to control every step that I take. They say it’s for my own sake but they punish me for the chains I break. They fool me with lies everyday. They want me to do whatever they say. They force me to walk their way but I’ll speak up my mind and say: Wake up, demand, take control, take a stand. This world is a wreck so take your life back. Let their world burn (x3), destroy, unlearn. They can’t break me. They can push me but I’m not gonna fall. It’s me against their world and their world against us all. They trick me with lies everyday and I should believe in whatever they say? They force me to copy their way, to consume is a must, so I must pay? They choke me with lies everyday. I’m sick of their games, I quit, I don’t play. I’m fed up but hey, who are they? The future is green but the present is grey. Wake up, demand, take control, take a stand. This world is a wreck so take your life back. Let their world burn, destroy, unlearn. They can’t break me. They can push me but I’m not gonna fall. It’s me against their world and their world against us all. Remember: They feed on fear so be brave and face them. Stand your ground. Liberate your mind. Liberate your soul. Against this system’s illusions I’m armed with my convictions. Wake up, demand, take control, take a stand. This world is a wreck so take your life back. Let their world burn, destroy, unlearn. They can’t break me. They can push me but I’m not gonna fall. It’s me against their world and their world against us all. They can’t break me cuz I’ll fight back. They jump on my aggressively but when they bite me I’ll bite back.

My Shoes 03:05
My Shoes - I’m gonna keep walking until the day I die. I look up. Beautiful stars all across the sky. They make me laugh out loud, they also make me cry. It’s time to hit the road, I better say goodbye. Putting my shoes on, grabbing my backpack, closing the door behind me and never look back. I don’t know where to go but I know I’ll get there. The sound, track of my life: kick, cymbals, and a snare. The love for freedom is what I learn from HipHop. I wanna travel around the globe and never stop. The world is tiny but huge at the same time. The flame still burns and I feel the fire inside . Leaving my foot prints along the sand. I will keep travelling until the very end. I wanna be a better person and this is my quest and to achieve this goal, I gotta give my best. Yeeeaaahhh, I’m gonna hit the road. Oooohhhhhh, my shoes have seen the world. (x2) All my shoes have walked more than a million miles. All my pair of shoes, they all had great lives. They have many many stories to tell you, they’ll blow you away you’ll be like “no way dude!” Thumbs are up, it’s time for hitch hiking. Fearless – Arrrgggh! Like a pirate or viking. Getting ready for everything that is coming I’ll be ok with a pillow and couch surfing. I’m getting old but I have this spirit of youth. I never sell out because this is my own groove. I live the dream I spend my life dreaming away. I say: “Hey, here I stay till my hair turns grey.” Boredom is dull, I uplift my soul, granola in a bowl, that’s how I roll. I get my bike and pedal to the horizon, a free spirit, untamed like a wild bison. Yeeeaaahhh, I’m gonna hit the road. Oooohhhhhh, my shoes have seen the world. (x2) All I need are good soles and a sleeping bag. My life is rad and I’m glad I’m a nomad - a wonderer - live to travel and travel to live. Yes, I do take a lot but then I also give (give). Watch me running (run) and watch me jumping (jump). Look at my big smile, my heart is pumping. The future is unwritten so I will grab a pen. I’ll write my own story, while crossing all this land. Travel safe.

We are the storm. Against the norm.

about

"My shoes have seen the world. They took me to a lot of different places, where I met a lot of different people, where I saw a lot of different things, where I ate a lot of different food,… My shoes have taught me to be patient, to evolve at my own pace, to be kind to everyone and to stand my ground no matter what. Sometimes I feel like quitting but they push me to keep walking and I’m so thankful for that." GAEA
