This is the 3rd song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I have worked on together for my CKP page. I wanted this latest track to continue with the electronic hip hop vibe we had established with our previous two tracks. Bitzone dug into his rich production archive and found a beat 10 years deep that met the criteria. This time I sent the track first to Frawstakwa to switch things up, since the last two songs I had started off. Frawstakwa came up with these deep metaphysical lyrics and I added a literal interpretation that I hoped would complement his meaning while keeping in theme with the previous two tracks. Bitzone then worked his magic and transformed the track into an electronic hip hop rock fusion. And then for a final surprise, he asked Joerxworx to join in with some futuristic EWI. In the end, I like that this track is different from It Ain’t Looking Good and Trendsetting and I think it points at a possible new direction for the next track we all work on together.
Thank you for all your listenings, comments, playlists, radio spins, and purchases. The musical team is eternally grateful.
Don’t loose hope, keep faith in yourself and your community, be creative, and persist.

Lyrics
Oh, this is just great
Yo, gimme a break
No, Freudian slip made
So, it’s no mistake
Go, psycho analyze it
Though, am I insane
In the membrane
Or normal
It’s weird right?
We’re here but so briefly
Mere mortals
Appears our fate is foretold
How unfortunate
Of course there’s this
Who says we have to forfeit free will
Forget about it
We are forward thinkers
And forces of nature
Scratch that - supernatural
Look at how we have grown
And evolved
Lets explore
What’s beyond
What is known
And accepted by all
Be omnidirectional
Slow, in the fast lane
Flow, like a mixtape
For, goodness sake
Over and over again
Face total
Loss of control
Lack of faith
Don’t trip though
Effects cause vertigo
Catch wreck, let ‘em know
Fact check, general
Search, research
Both the world and the earth
First you learn
Then you teach
Art and culture
To reach out and touch
All of the people
Them, no doubt indeed
Bitzone and the Couch King
One stereo image
Audio visual one

#frawstakwaforyou
What difference does it make
If at any given rate
The only thing that matters in the end is too late
What difference does it make
If at any given rate, yo!
Have you ever felt alone
In a place so dark, so vast, so cold
Everyday I pass by
The same lame busted gate
The same
Boarded up broken windows and
Old rusted grates
The same
Overflowing trash cans continue to accumulate with a ever-growing stench that won’t abate
It’s the same
Neighborhood cats talking smack on da crates
It’s the same
Families falling flat with not enough food on their plates
I’m passin’ by the same
Kids in baseball hats standing wet in wait
Out there gettin’ rained on cause the bus is running late
It straight
Hasn’t changed at all
What difference does it make
I’m still awake at dawn
Exerting on
Getting my debt rate gone
Word is born
What difference does it make
Cause pass generations gone
Still couldn’t pass it on
What difference does it make
What difference does it make
If at any given rate
Things just stay the same
What difference does it make
If at any given rate
We keep on playing games
What difference does it make
If at any given rate
There really isn’t even anything else left for me to say
