Lying a Dream Notes and lyrics by Oscar CharliEE

Lying a Dream This  is one of my favourite   songs that I wrote, produced and recorded. The simple sonic landscape allowed me to write some of my most natural lyrics, dealing with a social issue that has and continues to affect so many of our youth growing up in today's confused world. The goal of this was to make the listener ask themselves the question: " Will you make a difference in this world today?" Lying a dream by Oscar CharliEE This young kid had plans of fulfilling his dream / reached those crucial adolescent years of being a teen / passing fiends outside school became a daily routine. /His mum used to ask how his day had been, / ‘a promising mathematician’ that is what the teachers said, / ‘Life of the classroom who had craving of being feed.’ / Getting A's to C's.

Wellspring of LIFE - Proverb 16:22

"Understanding is a wellspring of life for he that has it, but foolishness is the instruction of fools." ~ Proverb 16:22 Apply what you understand to be right to your day, you know what that is, listen to the voice which gives you wisdom from the knowledge you have stored up all the days of your life because it is better than being instructed by foolishness like those fools who think folly is the good teacher. Think of the wise men who went to visit Mary and the child king. Herod's instruction was foolish, "...come back and report to me so I can go and worship this saviour also." Knowing very well he had no intention to submit goodwill towards Jesus, the wise men full of a wellspring of life understood this blatant fallacy and left a different route after going to give offerings to Jesus. Fill up your wellspring today. When someone offers you foolish counsel, challenge it with your understanding and you will not go astray.

Hip Hop Sequels - Brenda and her baby - Tupac and Median

Image
Many heads will remember the classic released in 1991, "Brenda's Got A Baby" which highlighted the social ills and challenges adolescents faced with teenage pregnancies.  However, only a select few may have known 16 years later Median, an emcee from the Justus League team (Little Brother, Chaundon, Joe Scudda and others), continued the storyline about Brenda's baby. Rose is her name and she is all grown up. "Brenda's Baby" was released in 2007. Respect due to Median for putting this together. "Even through the concrete Rose found roots to grow..."
