about
It's been a year since anything was released from the Gnos-tel-jah series of Seven albums and several changes have occurred within the group. This 3rd project, "Surveying", is a transitional album from the group that was present in the first 2 albums to another group that is yet to be determined. "Surveying" will feature friends and musical family that have been gracious and open enough to bless the tracks I've made and step outside of their respective musical "boxes" to create something new. As is stated in the definition of "surveying", this album is comprehensive....in genre, in style, in sound, in mood, and in general. "Surveying" is an entertaining compilation that will get you to think and feel in ways outside of your own "box" and perhaps encourage you to survey your own situation. You never know what's just around the corner, or, in this case, what's coming on the next track....

"Come Along"
Disturbed, perturbed, clinging to earth.
It breaks, it shakes, regardless of weight.
Unnerved, blurred, is it deserved?
Awake, but it aches, be it destiny or fate...
I was born of this land
to grow and expand,
challenge the mode...
An ode to my soul.
And as the dams do crack
the water can't hold back.
Everything, exposed,
that resides on the track.
Stuff of books becoming faded.
Fluffing up crooks becoming jaded.
Are we behind, in our minds?
How many times must we be baited?
Manipulated, and
traded for the dollar bill.
Unsatiated,
making populations ill.
The calm before the storm.
The fawn in fire, warm.
The calm before the storm.
New dawn becomes the norm.
Release, release...
Release, release...
Swarming, swarming
Unabated..
Warning, warning
All created..
Warning, warning
All created..
Warning, warning
All created..
Warning, warning
All created...
G, what are you doing?
You trying to scare these people?
NAHHH!!
Two tons lifted.
The pressures of the system.
Fool, don't forget it,
my pleasure's gone and slipped in.
Gnos-tel-jah's gone and stepped in
armed with secret weapon.
Steady with fight,
Ready the plight,
Unite my friends, jump into the light.
Here we go,
Here we go
Beats will drop in
Lyrics follow.
May be fast,
May be slow,
May be poignant,
May be hollow.
Not a cop,
but pigs they wallow
in the mud.
The names they bought though..
and fought bold.
The stocks hold on..
til tomorrow.
Unmasked the faces sting.
Positivity we bring.
It's time now for featuring,
heavy beat, swamp creaturing.
Scooby Snacks enveloping.
Heroes, villains speaking..
freely teaching,
and on the pulpit preaching.
It's up to you to figure out..
Who controls the bigger spout?
Who's in surplus, who's in drought?
What flow is useless, what's loud?
And for the crowd??
Been known to sing aloud...
Oohh Ohh!
Mapping out the route.
Oohh Ohh!!
Mapping out the route.
Oohh Ohh!!
Mapping out the route.
Oohh Ohh, Oohh Ohh!!
It's time now,
It's time now, come along.
It's time now,
It's time now, come along.
It's time now,
It's time now, come along.
It's time now,
It's time now, come along. - Track Name: Gnos-tel-jah featuring Gary Mack-White - Again Over

"Again Over"
Light Cascades upon your Face,
Upon your Skin, the Glow Illuminates this Place
A Ghostly Essence Traced
Your Eyes again they open
Lifting your Head, to feel the Darkness that Resides
Moving like the Tides of Reason
My Life Hangs by a Strand, and as I reach to take
your Hand,
I know it cant be Real, Again the Dream is over
I'm Lost here without you
You still control these things i do
Please don't leave me here to Die
The Moon it Wains and starts to Cry
For it Knows it's over
I see the Shadow of your Mind
And tho the Darkness leaves me Blind
I cant believe its over
I Know Again, its Over

In Captured Time
You free my mind
Pictures say 1000 words
But that number is a lesser
Like the flutter of a hummingbird
Can't count the ways you're special
In Captured Time
You free my mind
Crystallized, inaudible
Shining colors of the spectrum
I see you move and feel you pull
So flawless this connection
I want you here
Next to me, Baby
I want you here
So I can breathe
In Captured Time
You free my mind - Track Name: Gnos-tel-jah featuring Ari Vox and AKUSTYX - Found It
-
No Faith, but I found it
No Hope, but I found it
No Trust, but I found it
No Love, but I found it
Dark place
not safe
failure leaves an odd taste…
quicken ur heart’s pace.
Gotta win this Hard race.
Need air.
We here sufferin.
We suffocate.
So hard 2 show love.
Harder still 2 cover hate.
No food. Nothing ate.
Crazy how the Hunger ache.
Stuffed our face w/ humble pie.
How the hell we underweight?
Overworked, underpaid
nothing ventured nothing gained.
Heavily indebted 4
the sacrifice my mother made.
stepped over stepped on.
Despite that kept on keepin on.
In the long run,
just a deeper song.
More fire! Think it ain’t?
See 2 an artist
more pain’s just mo paint.
We build regardless.
Caught up in the darkwater’s taint.
Haters movin on ur flank.
All of us r soldiers in the war 2 live.
What’s ur rank?
If Faith trust n love leave ur surroundings,
don’t frown kid.
Just look in urself.
That’s where I found it.
No Faith, but I found it
No Hope, but I found it
No Trust, but I found it
No Love, but I found it
Dirty sermons
Wordy versions
Blurring curves
With lines
Predetermined
Swede, Italiano
Irish and German
My risk?
Much to be deserving
Conflicts of interest
Are you observant?
Purist?
My love of the 40's
Got me breaking serve
Swerving
Story starting to recur
Are you sure?
The mind is playing tricks
Making shit obscure
Confusing me
Clouding the allure
But that's not the
Haute couture
What was designed
Specific for
This entrepreneur
Maybe stating that
Is somewhat premature
I mean,
Front and back
I scoured the brochure
And in that bad boy
It said..
You have to endure
Spread your shit
Lay down the manure
Cause when it breaks down
Even the filthiest are pure
And in the seeds of your sound
You know that there's a cure.
No Faith, but I found it
No Hope, but I found it
No Trust, but I found it
No Love, but I found it
I find when times are darkest
and my outlook is the bleakest
Vinegar and not cream,
pits instead of the peaches
When calm has left the building,
my faith is being tested
Attribute the tribulation
why I’m not disconnected
Every second and component of my being
is in the moment
This experience is mine,
I don’t rent or lease it, I own it
The IT I found was self
through extensive soul searchin’
It’s easy to get lost behind the curtain,
I was hurtin’
When the thirsting’ is for certain
but the quencher, elusive
Every day the battle waged,
more & more abusive
When my actions didn’t compliment the rhetoric,
credit it
To being afraid of failure
with a ego that was delicate
Deadly combination,
fear of flight left me stranded
Wasn’t until I neared the light
my P.O.V expanded
On the verge of a collapse,
when it all became lucid
Reason revealed,
my life was the muse for the movement,
the music!
No Faith, but I found it
No Hope, but I found it
No Trust, but I found it
No Love, but I found it
