(Verse 1): They don't call these bars cuz they're straight. They call’em bars cuz the restraint that it takes./ To face your mistakes, then turn pain into faith, position bars along the way that you paved./ To guide others along the wave u create. Sonic enlightenment, fam, just be brave in your faith./ Cuz steel bars? They were made to detain. But real bars? These bars?? They're the way u escape./ So please, relax, if u make the mistake of thinkin’ life's sweet here, you gonna skate to your fate./ Peace. When the beast get to moving out, I get a groove about, a little puff in my chest like the Ruger's out./ A bit of funk in my flesh, like I'm dead inside, but oozing out. Spouting all this truth from mouth./ Paid dues so when the time comes. I'm cemented as one of the illest ever, get ya rhymes up. "/ (Hook): Keep it real, you ain't as funky as me. We just wanna be heard, you just wanna be seen./ That arrogance will get u slumped in the streets. Listen close, yo, nothing is free./ (Verse 2): Barricaded in this haunted enslavement, taunted by heinous, awful, deranged men, for there watches, and bracelets./ Chained by the chains on their necks, awkwardly placing God on their chest, while they walkin’ wit Satan./ Y'all wanted fame, this exhausting display is, gonna get someone killed...coffins encase them./ All cause your causes are baseless, lost in the matrix, tryin’ save face until u walk around faceless./ The unknown. Fear that there. The death howl, you gonna hear that there. The let down? You gonna fear that mirror./ I bet now, it can be no clearer...I'm the illest alive, and y'all still just weirdos./ Not weird like eccentric, I mean weird like, u do that dumb shit for acceptance./ Desperate for a blessing from the demons who infect us. That bad air will leave you wheezing till u breathless./ Gone. (Hook): Keep it real, you ain't as funky as me. We just wanna be heard, you just wanna be seen./ That arrogance will get u slumped in the streets. Listen close, yo, nothing is free./

Eye to eye in the night He seemed so lonesome And I was right "Is this seat taken, handsome?" He said no, and smiled Music was far too loud But I could hear his pain Rising glasses in the crowd We'll sure meet again - somehow - The reason is you (x2) Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like a starry night Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like a new found light We started to dance Never mind the tune Spinning in a trance To the wink of the moon Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like a cat with a box Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like your favourite socks Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like a starry night Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like a new found light Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like a cat with a box Cheerish the life Be glad you are at Like your favourite socks The reason is you...

(Verse 1) Rap insomniac numb from the venom tongue / The thrill is gone but it's nothing where I'm coming from / A penny for your thoughts it's food for the soul Journey down Insanity it's been a long road / Learn to make a living off of words in a sentence skills to pay the bills cuz your talk is not expensive / Born on the wrong side piece to the family thousand-mile stare from the time that I'm traveling/ I account for every second every minute that I'm in this the highs and the lows is just a test of my commitment / Call it what you want check the resume and catalog bars are the exhaust when all the lights and the cameras off / U see the grind change the words to the images cut from a different cloth vivid from the lineage / It's been a long time from the place that we begin watch the world turn as I see the record spin / (Verse 2) We came out the gutter man it's life from the cement collars busting out like I was rocking the v-neck / Came from powdered milk cold showers and short sweaters now we're living through the audio so we can live forever / Time is of the essence and we live it never wasted the land of broken dreams like the cracks in the pavement / Book about your life man with anybody read it we took a different route and the shit was never scenic / Land of the free and the home of the beautiful grinding all your life you never know what life will do to u / Never really had it but I guess we really had enough so now I touch a little something and we start to live it up / Wrote The scroll like the words in collages / And if we're at the end and you can hold all of yall applauses / So when The thrill is gone that it's back where we started the beginning is the end and the rest unregarded /

about

Mr. Collage’s debut solo album “Layers” shares a traditional Hip-Hop approach, utilizing the use of samples as well as recorded instruments. “Layers” is a sonic painting consisting of dusty vinyl memories and future plane tickets. Funky beats and basslines, afro percussions and a second hand synth are layered and complete the music background of the album.

Is that all? Def not! The album features some very talented artists from USA, Australia, Spain, Greece and Belgium. The rappers Nico The Beast, S Squair Blaq, Mic Bles and 1989TRE get funky on Collage’s beats and the female MC Amira Lacrima with her mellow raps gets into a story telling.
Soul goes strong in the album too with Lady EMZ cherishing life over a Northern Soul inspired beat and Mantique spicing up the funkiness with her deep voice. Moreover, the vocalist Lisa Spykers gives an extra R&B/Soul vibe by joining forces with 1989TRE.
On the wheels of steel, the IDA World Finalists - Fly Immigrants (DJ Mysterons and DJ Hypercutz) and the heavy artillery of scratching of Mind The Wax, DJ Moya are taking care of the scratches in the album.
