Im on a boat, on a ship, on a submarine, on a space ship, outer space, all up in your dreams im on a boat, on a ship, on a submarine, on a microchip, inner space, all up in your dreams Im the comet in the sky you wish upon bouncing like the ball on the words to your sing-a-long ring the alarm? lighten up your too serious under my hypnosis, Imperious landing in the mysterious ocean of deep thought killin it w/ the sweet talk and the beatbox while you were nodding out in a bar booth I was writing these rhymes in the sand with a shark tooth straight out the ice blue tide pools my rivals write haiku's like "im cool" Ive traveled the country, inspired many rocked shows in your city and made a couple pennies Ive been around the universe for plenty of millennium been to hell and back, grew heavenly antennae pirate, vagabond, gypsy, everyman come to flip this world on a keg stand rattle the snakes, psych-out the vultures circling your dead pan, biting at your cutlures hermit black sheep, feel asleep in a wormhole woke up in a dreamland earth show Leminis, her and I, harmonize all the time, shes my cutie plant seeds of life outta the LNC "Sea of Light" Nor-Cal, So-Cal, NC to SD beauty you find my design a kinda typical wise guy? my rhyme divine opti-mystical psy-fly a breath of fresh air, killin your infection filtering toxins like a philodendron my life's not structured by time Im a free floating phantom birthed by intelligent design Im not a hipster, consider me a beatnik a sweet Flip, peace-nik, Hip Hop Beatsmith Nutopian Chief, LNC dopamine unseen potency like scopoloamine. You cant put me in a box with a label Ive unplugged my cables, authority disabled stronger than your hardcore drugs contaminate your bombs with love, I am not a thug I'm a light in the dark confusion helping you see through the illusion pull him out from under sweat him like a brother or chase her like a lover wake em' outta slumber shreddin up the lumber wrote a letter to your mother weathers been a bummer Sweaters In The Summer.

We don't sleep on the moon anymore. We don't dig deep to the core. We don't breath on the ocean floor anymore. We don't believe in a folk lore. They don't tell fairy tales like they used to. But I do it very well cuz I choose to. I am very well aware of the truth. I can be anywhere if it includes you We're here right now, yes we're here right now Its all about the moment, Im about the moment We're here right now, yes we're here right now Its all about this, Im about this If quoted, I'd like you to learn from me one moment can last an eternity And if I learned one thing from any song Its so much fun to be wrong. And while your out getting wasted Im in the basement creating great shit. Wait, there ain't no basements in SD In that case I'm in the space God sent me. Facades plenty in a world of MC's w/ thoughts empty I kill em all gently With kindness, my science a refined mix. A vibrant design to re-align glitch Is a sound pattern that I like to spit. All proud actin like this a type of hit ? Worth the reaches of a grammy ? More likely eating faces on the beaches of Miami. More likely growing feathers out of candy. More likely you will never understand me. Im too high over your head Wont hit a roach in the head, killin in it sober instead. Floating in infinite space, with an unlimited grace and still winning the race at a simpletons pace We don't live on the moon anymore we don't live deep near the core We don't live on the ocean floor anymore We don't live in a folklore They don't tell fairy tales like the truth But I do it very well cuz I choose. I am very well aware of the proof I can be anywhere with you. We're here right now, yes we live right now Its all about the moment, Im about the moment. We're here now, yes we live right now Its all about this, all around bliss.

my pocket sarcophagus coughs up cyber space. pirates chase Pinocchio off turbulent decks modern puppets receiving unemployment checks. clip your strings if you haven't yet there is no free will shadows control your every step.

Order words of out place our lets solve the riddle me this, place your bets wards back subliminal ain't a scary thang begin to understand after hittin maryjane.

South of the ironic island of Greenland West of genocide rebels and tribes of fierce men East of corrupted democracy, land of the free? North of melting glaciers and polar bears sipping tea A sea of mystery, the expansive Atlantic home to the unknown and the kingdom of Atlantis Miami, Puerto Rico, tropical, exclusive holding hands w/ Satan's portal of Bermuda Triangle. Vanished ships and aircraft trajectory paranormal activity has puzzled man for centuries. could it be wormholes? and time warp to the past? alien abductions or pockets of methane gas? Infinitely vast black icebergs liquid graves titanic waves in one night wiped out the perfect race. Civilizations known to accomplish a deep understanding of the universe Poseidon's wrath made the future worst. Destroyed all the knowledge, forced to live primitive innocent cavemen, scientists limited forced to re-learn, we don't have common sense spiritually condensed because we want tangible evidence. They got what they came for opened Gods knowledge and exited through the same door We got the ocean in a jar, the sea was our home first We know more about the stars than we do of our own Earth. You get what you came for different outside but we've got the same core don't dive too deep if the skies outta reach We don't know what lies underneath Shark attack, razor-blade sharp. Jaws pierce hard, proofs in the scar. Some live for the lust and the money and the sin but who can you trust when everybody wants to win? So you keep your guard up, keep raising your bars up. Open your mind to the beauty that we're all star dust manifested through the universe connected through your conscious Love your life and don't be afraid of death, I promise you'll be okay. Hierarchy is dis-honest, want to keep you in fear through mental and physical bomb threats. So you gotta wake up and pull the veil from your iris apply the science to a giant alliance of pirates rely on the sky and fly high to find the shine to Zion Be the change you want to be, the Antidote to virus. The Mayans, Egyptians, Sumerians, US Americans are embarrassing compared to them. They knew and understood so much more than we do. We are plankton and they are gourmet seafood. They built the monoliths using anonymous tools, built the monoliths leaving obvious clues for us to remember what we forgot. Wish we could remember, it'd really mean a lot to the sanity of humanity we try and reach use your mind to seek what Lies Underneath. They got what they came for opened Gods knowledge and exited through the same door We got the ocean in a jar, the sea was our home first We know more about the stars than we do of our own Earth. You get what you came for different outside but we've got the same core don't dive too deep if the skies outta reach We don't know what LIES UNDERNEATH...

about

"Solid beat-boxing, on-point verse-spitting and abstract psy-fly/ hip-hop rhythms come together to make one of the more interesting CD's I've heard this year. Generik (aka Jonaire') delivers lyrics whose meaning isn't immediately evident. Often, though, obscure words make for a more alluring piece of art, which "Sweaters in the Summer" most certainly is."
- Justin Roberts, San Diego City Beat (Mar 06, 2013)

. Bringing it back to the ocean from whence we came. Something different and fun for everyone. Original Summer-Themed soundscapes.
