PitchBlackGold – No More Lies (Video)……….and the power of the little “Like” button.

I like the way this turned out. Please view and if you do, please click the “like button” ( even if you don’t like it, you can also click it just to show support). That small little button is funny. It has A LOT of influence on taking an artist to another level in terms of booking shows and paying rent. If wack thug-drug-hip-pop artist makes bad song and dumb video, but has 100,000 views and 1000 “likes”, wack thug-drug-hip-pop artist will get booked for shows and eat good. If dope talented-soulful-honest-socially-aware artist makes good song and cool video, but only 300 views and 11 “likes”, dope talented-soulful-honest-socially-aware artist must sometimes borrow money to pay rent because he had to pay for a tooth extraction or something, and artists are not insured. When recording artists are doing their promo thing and are in communication to book performances, the promoters and event organizers always do Youtube searches. They look at the number of views and the “likes” and can greatly influence their decision to book an artist or not.

I’m doing my part to bring awareness to the state of our world and it’s direction and how to recognize and own our true power.  To hopefully inspire and offer a person the opportunity to shift their perception and grow into greater states of awareness of what’s happening around us, and who we choose to be in relation to it. It’s a difficult path on it’s own, triply difficult to do it through the lane of rap music in 2012.

I create music to be of benefit to people and I would love to dedicate 100% of my time to creating music with that purpose. To do this on a grand level, I need your assistance….WE need your assistance. I’m not asking you to buy anything. I’m only asking you to support by viewing, clicking that little “like” button, and sharing with your friends. By doing this you are assisting in balancing out the bullshit music that feeds our descent into corporate sanctioned madness. You are also supporting the progress of music that cares about the future of the planet life and the life that resides on it.

This has been a public service announcement provided to you by your PitchBlackGold.  Thank you. Peace

PitchBlackGold – No More Lies (LYRICS)

Verse 1:

Lets get
Liberation from the hands of the masons
The plans that we facin’
Will make the earth into a planet plantation
I stand in amazement
Wondering
Will humanity wake up?
Get its shit together before the land starts to shake up
Earthquake what?
Brake up
Politicians corrupt
Trying to cling to a system that was bound to self destruct
Many holla “revolution” but who down to back it up?
The government officials call it a bluff
Now what we gon’ do?
They on you and me
Claiming “All Eye See”
Turning citizens to cattle under Homeland Security
I hear the tails rattled with the sounds of impurity
Now echoes of an Adolf can be heard in this century

Chorus x2:

No more lies from pulpits
We See through your bullshit.

Verse 2:

Will history repeat itself?
Health deleted by missles?
Or will the whole planet blow the whistle?
Cuz the people united will never be defeated
The people united will never be defeated
The people united will never be defeated
It sounds good to say but will we ever achieve it?
The point of no return is no here
Best believe it
Who’s plottin’ on the right course of action when they weeded?
Indeed it takes the holistic moves to be completed
The truest revolution has the soul deeply seeded
And we need it in ever sequence
Frequently come anew
Be it and see the reaches
Far from plain view
We came through the gates with the traits to create schools
Anybody try to stop us we must break them lame dudes
The same dudes making new rules to enslave crews
And use network news to spread their fascist views

Chorus x2

Verse 3:

Pitch Black
He refuse to accept it
Never walk the blocks all confused and dejected
See the propaganda fuel the fear
Bring the ruckus
Strings on the dummy
{criminal}
The big puppet
Oppression since day one
Ain’t it time we said “fuck it”
Stop giving ‘em our taxes
Look how they use our duckets
The bald eagle is hungry
It’s feathers better pluck it
If it soars full speed
Ain’t no future for the seeds
The prophecies of chiefs
Steady muted by thieves
Please
Open up your ears
And these words just take heed
Meditation
Plus observation
Equals intuitive movements
Know exactly what you doing
Exactly what you saying
Who you praying to in toil?
This is spiritual warfare
It’s much much bigger than oil
It’s much bigger than oil
It’s much much bigger than oil

Chorus x2

I think I’m going to dip my mind into a new approach.

Ok, so I just watched this TedTalk…:

….then I went back and watched my TedTalk (which I’m posting for the first time anywhere right now, because even though I freestyled the whole talk and it was okay considering i was hella nervous, I thought I could’ve done a much better job representing my ideas)…:

 

…then I watched my performance and interview from the other week (starts at 5:30 mark): PitchBlackGold at @America Jakarta

…and I’ve decided to take some new approaches in the manner in which I present certain info. I’m not gonna detail it all here, but I’ve been connecting with some highly creative like minds out here and we cooking up something fresh. I’ll keep you posted. Peace

In Twomp Tweezy, Fully Show Your Creative Azz

Peace and Blessed 2012 to you. We are finally here in the year that has held so many in anticipation and speculation, and it’s crazy how quickly it arrived. It looks like it’s going to be a very interesting year, in just about every aspect of life, as humanity stands directly in front of it’s greatest challenge. Some are foreseeing nothing but doom and gloom and I’m honestly not one to argue with that, as so many signs point to that direction, but i do also see a path that can lead out of the dark forest and into a new clear…..for some at least.

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you” – Jesus ( The Gospel of Thomas)

One of my intentions for twomp tweezy is to release as many creative works as i can that can possibly serve to assist someone in their journey towards greater awareness and being.  It is also my intent to connect with others who are advocates of fresh ass expression via style AND substance based creative works. Socially aware and responsible artists play a HUGE roll in the moving of society towards higher degrees of awareness and understanding. If you hold this view, please holler at me here or through email (pitchblackgold@gmail.com) and let’s see how we can possibly assist each other in the process of setting off audio-visual-conceptual-multidimensional alarm clocks.

Much is in the works, but for now, here is the first entry into the process. Peace and Truth 2 U.

In You…Through You…As You.

“If you cannot look at your brother, sister, mother, father, son, daughter, wife, husband, lover, friend, foe, neighbor, stranger or yourself and see God, then your religion isn’t working” - Kamau Bakari Abayomi

“Society once suffered from ignorant superstition; today it suffers

from ignorant skepticism. When people are confronted with

a challenging view, most see only that it differs from their own,

and so they dismiss higher truths beyond their recognition as

quickly as they would those obvious delusions beneath their

threshold of gullibility. Higher knowledge is therefore fringe

knowledge because those who pursue it have been alienated to

the fringes of society. These fringe truth seekers follow their

hearts and open their minds, having placed more importance on

the liberation of their souls than the conventions of society”

- Tom Montalk  from the book Fringe Knowledge

Papua Province, Indonesia

Beneraf Market. Papua province, Indonesia

On July 8th, 20,000 Papuans peacefully rally demanding a referendum on West Papuan independence

From westpapua.net:

Facing an epic struggle they see as similar to those of indigenous minorities in Timor, Aceh, Burma, Laos, South Sudan, South Africa, Iroquois America, and so many other nations, people identifying as Papuans are shifting significant energy into a peaceful information campaign meant to help them achieve solidarity as a people along with either greater autonomy or full independence for the Papuans from Indonesia.

The latest chapter of this media campaign is Unheard Voices of West Papua, a wildly colorful online and print history book for kids aimed at underlining the indigenous point of view at the cost of the colonists and Indonesian government.

The book looks great, sounds great, and the people make good points, but many Indonesians of other ethnic groups are going to be either threatened or scared by the otherwise friendly book.

That’s because at the heart of this peaceful media with cool pictures and fascinating people is the core argument that the Dutch, and then Indonesian government, colonized the region and brutalized the people, and that Indonesia continues to exploit natural resources for the profit of the central government and Western corporations at the cost of the native people.

While much of this is well evidenced — the Indonesian government itself has admitted there’s a serious problem simply by shifting significant military resources to the region, brokering political talks, and prohibiting foreign journalists, if not by acknowledging the many, many allegations that they have tortured or even murdered indigenous activists — the moral problem for the international community comes down to the same issue as in other rebel regions of the world.

Some Questions To Spark Your House Party

61. Is sudden spontaneous eye contact between people an indication that they should

communicate?

62. Is seeing someone new who “looks familiar” an indication that interaction would

provide information?

63. Are people whom we have “never met” who “look familiar” part of the same

thorrght group?

64. Do thought groups evolve along a similar line of interest and create a similar

outward experience?

65. Do we intutively recognize members of our current thought group?

66. When you appreciate someone at a deep level, can you perceive thought patterns

by virtue of their subtle expression?

67. Does conscious group interaction involve the understanding that only one person

at a time has the most powerful idea-expression, that concentration on what is being

said and who is saying it will produce a feeling when it is your turn to speak, and that

an idea-expression will arise within the mind simultaneously with this feeling?

68. Do problems arise in group conversation when the speaker feels the power of an

idea and the attention energy from others and then becomes attached to the energy

and extends conversation past the point where it should have shifted to another,

resulting in monopolization of the group?

69. Does this process of monopolization result in others not acting on the feeling and

idea-expressions and result in group fragmentation and missed information from the

Universe?

70. Does premature aging result from violent competition for energy outside the

Universal continuum?

71. Is the idea of a truly functional group one in which the energy sent by everyone

increases the energy of everyone?

72. Is the true nature of a group one of one thought pattern with many outlets?

73. Does the cultural “establishment” fear the idea of inner evolution because it

represents a “loss of control* in the manipulative competition for energy?

74. Is the ultimate position one in which you attempt to bring out the best in others

rather than to have “power over them”?

75. Is this where the evolution of the “human” species is going, and why it is feared

by those who wish to maintain manipulative control?

Some “Wow! That’s Deep” Questions

41. Does our response to others “crossing our path” determine our receipt of the

information?

42. Will our intentions become more consciously deliberate?

43. Can we consciously project energy?

44. Does the rate of flow of energy from the Universal Intelligent Matrix increase the

more we Love and appreciate another being?

45. Does this increase in the rate of flow allow more perception of ones individual

truth?

46. Does real projection of energy have no attachment or intention connected to

it?

47. Is the real challenge in existence identifying the questions and not the answers?

48. Do we need to take an observer position relative to the perception of “passing

thought”?

49. Does taking the observer position assist in releasing the need to control?

50. Is there a reason and purpose why we were born into the family and situation that

we faced?

51. Does allowing love to enter you connect you with the energy of the Universe?

52. Is it that you don’t so much make yourself love but that you allow it to enter you?

53. Can we ever get clear about who we really are in terms of Absolute

Consciousness?

54. Will another persons control drama fall apart if we do not match the drama on

our side?

55. Does a drama need a matching drama to be fully played out?

56. Do matching dramas often escalate into violence in the battle to seek energy?

57. Do manipulations for energy lose their covert nature by bringing them into

consciousness?

58. Does looking beyond the drama projected by another to the real person behind it,

and at the same time projecting energy make it easier for them to give up their

manipulative methodology?

59. When we have a question and direct it to the Universe, will the answer always

appear?

60. Does everyone who crosses our path embody information from the Universe in

response to our question?

Some “Deeper” Questions

20. Are the socially programmed patterns of energy seeking responsible for social

maladjustment crime and aberrant mental states of mind?

21. Does a control drama to gain energy from another perpetuate itself when a higher

energy Source is not found?

22. Is it easier to stay connected to the higher energy Source if you know who you are?

23. Is the actual meaning of Life connected with the problem of transcending past and

present modes of conditioning and social programming?

24. Does an understanding of how the events in your life fit together produce a clear

awareness of who you are and what your spiritual path is?

25. Do the seeming “coincidences” in your life lead you to a clearer idea of how to

follow your path and not the path of others?

26. Do these realizations lead to a realization of your evolutionary identity?

27. Will you be able to consciously engage your own evolution when you have

acquired enough energy?

28. Will you be able to maintain the flow of energy to continue to produce an ongoing

series of “coincidences” that will move you in accordance with intuition’?

29. Does every event have significance?

30. Is your personal growth impeded when you become addicted to another person?

31. Do people who are “in love” actually disconnect themselves from the energy of the

Universal Intelligent  Matrix and rely on each ofher for energy based on their own

mirroring projection of each other on to each other, to the point where

“relationships” of this nature always degenerate into energy-based manipulative

power struggles?

32. Since the energy of the Universal Intelligent Matrix contains both “male” and

“female” energies, do manipulative energy competition games learned in childhood

prevent integration of the “opposite sexual side”?

33. Do parents compete with children for energy in our society?

34. Do parents manipulate children to gain energy and teach manipulative methods in

the process of doing this?

35. As consciousness is evolving on the planet, is the situation now that no one wants

to be subservient to anyone else any longer?

36. Does “true romance” really depend on both partners establishing a connection

with the energy of the Universe so they do not have to supply each other with energy?

37. Does breaking the habit of projection assist the process of re-connection with the

energy of the Universe?

38. Do we need to grow out of codependent relationships?

39. Does how we approach others have an influence on how quickly we evolve and

how quickly the “questions” we pose to the Universe are answered in terms of those

seeming “coincidences” and the rate of their occurrance?

40. Is there information coming from the Universe when others “cross our path”?

Some Questions

“Society once suffered from ignorant superstition; today it suffers

from ignorant skepticism. When people are confronted with

a challenging view, most see only that it differs from their own,

and so they dismiss higher truths beyond their recognition as

quickly as they would those obvious delusions beneath their

threshold of gullibility. Higher knowledge is therefore fringe

knowledge because those who pursue it have been alienated to

the fringes of society. These fringe truth seekers follow their

hearts and open their minds, having placed more importance on

the liberation of their souls than the conventions of society” - Tom Montalk  from the book Fringe Knowledge

SOME QUESTIONS…

1. Did personal existence begin earlier than this current lifetime, perhaps as early as

the formation of the Universe by virtue of the thought of Another?

2. Are “humans” part of the process of evolution of the Universe toward higher

vibrational expression and complexity?

3. Does the increasing perception of meaningful “coincidences” In ones life have

something to do with this process?

4. Does the Universe itself have the potential of providing us all the personal energy

for existence we need if we only open ourselves up to it?

5. Do we become more actualized when something occurs in our lives that is beyond

“chance”?

6. Does perception of these events “beyond chance” cause a further infusion of this

same energy?

7. Can the energy of the Universal Intelligent Matrix be “knocked out of us” when we

get into a state of fear?

8. Must we face up to the way we contr0l others to get the energy embodied in their

attention to us?

9. Is the way we control others something we learned in childhood as a way of getting

attention and getting energy to move toward us?

10. Do we have unconscious control dramas going on in our lives?

11. Is our need to control directly proportional to our lack of spiritual contact with

the energy of the Universal Intelligent Matrix?

12. Does Life really consist of a series of adventures ‘on the brink” marked by a

series of seeming coincidences”?

13. Do our various control dramas actually interfere with the process of

“coincidences” taking place?

14. Do we need to look at ourselves closely to determine what we are doing to

manipulate beings to gain energy?

15. Are we distracted from alignment with the energy of the Universe in the act of

judging ourselves by what we perceive that others “might be thinking”?

16. Do we often find ourselves “living our lives for others”?

17. Do people manipulate others to gain energy by forcing people to give them attention by way of intimidation?

18. Do people manipulate others to gain energy by playing on culturally programmed

sympathies or curiousity?

19. Do people seek to gain attention energy by attempting to take advantage of the

internal programming of another by “making them feel guilty”?

20. Are the socially programmed patterns of energy seeking responsible for social

maladjustment crime and aberrant mental states of mind?

Happy Bornday Tupac Amaru Shakur

Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 - September 13th 1996)

There have been ZERO rappers in the mainstream to come anywhere near this close to the passion and fire for the people:

Cats nowadays get passionate about Beyonce not winning video awards and shit. Anyways, this is Pac’s first recorded speech. Schooling adults:

Makeveli – Hold Ya Head

Hold Ya Head off Makeveli 7 Day Theory album is my personal favorite Pac song. It possesses everything that was great about Pac and amidst a sea of Death Row required shit talking, this gem of a song jumps way out. 7 Day Theory also is my fav album and I remember at the time, that i just could not stop playing this song.  Listening to it again now, it just shits on the retardedity (my word) of these thug rappers of today. The one thing that i really love about the legacy of Pac, was that his greatest songs, the ones that we remember him for, were NOT club hits. They were great songs that spoke from and to heart of Black people.

Who remembers when “Brenda’s got A Baby” owned “The Box” (For you youngins, there used to be a channel in Oakland, back in the early 90′s, where you could call in and order videos) I used to get sick of it cuz i would ALWAYS make me all emotional. The song and the video was just hella intense. With “Dear Mama”, “Shed So Many Tears, “Temptations”, he was even in the videos, but we felt him. Everyone knew his situation and was ridin’ with him. Until T.I. or Lil Wayne or any other millionare rapper can make singles like the aforementioned, I DONT GIVE A FUCK if them niggaz get locked up. As dope, clever and a better lyricist B.I.G. was, he never made songs that spoke to hopes, dreams, inner fears, vulnerabilities, strengths and empowerment of Black people. He never moved anyone to shed so many tears and neither has Jay-Z or Nas (though Nas has many great songs of substance). Pac got a catalog of spirit touching songs and for that reason he is still the Greatest Rapper Of All Time.

Hold Ya Head:

[prison in the background while 'Pac speaks]
Yo Jackson! (8231549)
Yes (?), come on down
Hold the doors – let’s go!
8599 (?) close it tight
Lock it down

[2Pac]
My homeboys in Clinton and Rikers Island
All the penitentiaries
Mumia, Mutulu, Geronimo, Sekon
All the political prisoners
San Quentin (Can you see him? I see him).. all the jailhouses
I’m alive!

[2Pac]
Yeah
One thug, one thug (How do we keep the music playing)
You’re listenin to the sounds of one, thuuug
One thug, one thug (How do we get ahead)

[2Pac]
I wake up early in the mornin, mindstate so military
Suckers fantasizin pictures of a young brother buried
Was it me, the weed, or this life I lead
If daytime is for suckers then tonight we bleed
Out for all that, knowin that this world bring drawbacks
Look how this shit bump once I deliver these raw raps
Meet me at the cemetery dressed in black
Tonight we, honor the dead, those who won’t be back
So if I die, do the same for me, shed no tears
An Outlaw, thug livin in this game for years
Why worry, hope to God, get me high when I’m buried
Knowin deep inside only a few love me
Come rush me to the gates of heaven, let me picture for a while
How I lived for my days as a child; I wonder now
How do we outlast, always get cash
Stay strong if we all mash, hold ya head

[Chorus: sung + 2Pac]
How do we keep the music playing (yes, you got to hold ya head)
How do we get ahead.. (hold your head!)
Too many young black brothers are dying (yes, you got to hold ya head)
Livin fast, too fast..

[2Pac]
Hahaha, yo
These felonies be like prophecies beggin me to stop
Cause these lawyers gettin money everytime they knock us
Snatchin pockets lyrically, suckers flea when they notice
Switched my name to Makaveli, half the rap game closed
Exposed foes with my hocus pocus flows they froze
Now suckers idolize my, chosen blows
And mo’ money mean litigatin, mo’ playa hatin
Got a cell at the pen for me waitin – is this my fate?
Miss me with that misdemeanor thinkin, me fall back?
Never that, too much tequila drinkin, we all that
Make them understand me, if not I slang my posse
Everyone with me is family, cause everybody’s got me
Watch me paint a perfect vision, this life we livin
got us all meetin up in prison..
Last week I got a letter from my road dog, written in blood
Saying, “Please show a playa love” – hold ya head!
Hold it

[Chorus]

[2Pac]
The weed got me tweakin in my mind, I’m thinkin..
God bless the child that can hold his own
Indeed, enemies bleed when I hold my chrome
Let these words be the last to my unborn seeds
Hope to raise my young nation in this world of greed
Currency means nothin if you still ain’t free
Money breeds jealousy, take the game from me
I hope for better days, trouble comes naturally
Running from authorities ’til they capture me
And my, aim is to spread mo’ smiles than tears
Utilalize lessons learned from my childhood years
Maybe Mama had it all right, rest yo’ head
Tradin converstion all night, bless the dead
To my homies that I used to have that no longer roll
Catch a brother at the crossroads..
Plus nobody knows my soul, watchin time pass
Through the glass of my drop-top Rolls, hold ya head!

[Chorus]

[2Pac over Chorus]
No matter how hard it get, feel me
Get the weed, drink a drink, read a book
Watch the stars, get some pussy, whatever..

[Chorus repeats to fade]
