This song is all about radical truth and radical transparency! Let your new year start with a bang!
Chorus:
Radically truthful, radically transparent!
Can you handle the test? When I drop this mic, give it my best, the words will carry on, echoing!
Radically creating this space beckoning,
Radically calling you out for this reckoning!
Verse 1
Too many manz
Want to be dissing others but when shit hits them back, they’re blinded.
Sign of the close minded. I am only talking the truth, listen with your eyes open, be reminded
You best decide how you want to be with each other and put the past behind it
Won’t ever stop, cuz am here screaming it out, the truth
But your ego loves only misery, stressed
Lyrically you’re getting messed
Around in circles, smoking the reefa vexed
Stoically, you think you can handle it. Depressed
Habitually, he backstabs his own circle. Behest
Blatantly, I spell it out, anger & this angst distressed
Chronically, he will follow this path fatigued
Chorus:
Radically truthful, radically transparent!
Can you handle the test? When I drop this mic, give it my best, the words will carry on, echoing!
Radically creating this space beckoning,
Radically calling you out for this reckoning!
Verse 2
How can he be radically truthful or radically transparent? He only talks about hate and division,
He did not see (Nazi) revision!
The history has lessons to teach but, he skipped school to pursue his vision.
Blinded by his ego, sowing dissent turned into his mission,
He labels it freedom of speech, radically charged nuclear fission!
Dropping bombs to blow you away, peace & love I wish ’em!
Life is a journey, not a comparison race, a healthy competition envisioned!
Point your finger at me without prejudice & hate, no ego barrier amidst ’em!
Chorus:
Radically truthful, radically transparent!
Can you handle the test? When I drop this mic, give it my best, the words will carry on, echoing!
Radically creating this space beckoning,
Radically calling you out for this reckoning!
Verse 3
Getting the culture and people right, this is an idea meritocracy
Getting rid of all hypocrisy
We’re still only one ship in the sea
Getting the crew right will determine our very might
How consistent are you aligned with your values and what you preach?
He believes in freedom like Edward D Teach
Newgate was the real hero who built the family right, expanding his reach!
Roger was robbed of kingship through natural disease
The objective of my mission is to have a blast playing the game I love with passion
Evolving with time and growing in fashion
Distributing the meals across in right ration
The real treasure I seek, the art of thoughtful disagreement, not condescending
Believe in your mission & abilities,
Stop politicising non-existent hierarchies
Embrace reality, follow the steps to deal with it effectively
Hold each other to high standards, survive the best you can, bring out the best you can,
And if you don’t like what you see, there’s the D O R (door), Repeat with me- “ it’s the Man not the Dan”
Some backstory below:
These lyrics or poem, whatever the right term for it, was written after having spit some bars with a friend over the phone. They were inspired by Principles by Ray Dalio, and obviously have some references to martial arts and One Piece anime/manga by Oda.
For more on Ray’s work, follow these steps. This is how I approached it. It will make it all very easy to understand. He has written it all in an easy to understand terminology and language.
- Watch the 30 min youtube video. How the economic machine works?
- Read or Listen to his book Principles.
- Read his Template for Understanding Debt Crises (available online for free)
- Read the series of LinkedIn articles
- To expand further, you can read Paul Kennedy’s The Rise and Fall of Great Powers, Graham Allison’s Destined for War, Peter Frankopan’s The Silk Roads and The New Silk Roads.
- In my history blog I will be summarising these books chapter by chapter.
- I am doing it for 2 reasons, studying it myself in more detail. Share it with everyone.
