Commandante Lyrics

[Foreign Content]This is an ambush
Yo, check itLookin' at my watch it's about that time
To ascend with this art of Zen another rhyme
Manifested in the physical miracle MC-in'
Leading to a revolution solution is seeingThe mind as it rotates make no debate
When I regulate, all the gens will terminate
'Cause we cut and slice irrelevance to the bone
And decapitate rappers that idolize Al CaponeOr Jimmy Hoffa not a hip-hop poppa
Just a vigilante with the mic that I shot ya
Chopped up, beat 'em and we proceeded to rock tha
Bells movin' quite well, so we got 'em hopped upTrained, raw, like Big Daddy Kane
Plus I'm born on the same day as Kurt Cobain
Rap Nirvana, call me the beat piranha
Without the drama, yeahDon't get this wrong, this revolution song
Hoping the wind can blow your way for once
A man is truly dead when confident
That's why we're all still waiting here so longAstrologically, I'm the water and the fish
Made a wish, now I'm stone-cold lyrical catalyst

I don't eat fish, chicken or hamburger
But I eat 40 emcees on a hot plateGod's great, magnificent and munificent
This is militant, in particular significant
To the people, masses, lower classes
Making the hardest of hard keloidal and flaccidContaminants with backstage laminate sheet
Unoriginal thoughts that's why we stay adamant
Which we perceive to alter the mind-state
Making time wait, holding us up for hostageI lost it, somewhere back in '96
When it's safe I'll play the game, I'm back in the mix
With a brand-new bag of magic and pixie dust
Love hip-hop, pray it never turns into lust, take it outDon't get this wrong, this revolution song
Hoping the wind can blow your way for once
A man is truly dead when confident
That's why we're all still waiting here so longHey
Hey
HeyDon't get this wrong, this revolution song
Hoping the wind can blow your way for once
A man is truly dead when confident
That's why we're all still waiting here so longCommandante, come back home
Commandante, come back home
Commandante, come back home
That's why we're all still waiting here so long

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

K-os

k-os (born Kevin Brereton on February 20, 1972 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer of Trinidadian descent. His real name may also be cited as Kheaven, a spelling he adopted later.

The alias "k-os" is pronounced "chaos" and is an acronym for "Knowledge of Self," although in a later interview he also said that it stands for "Kheaven's Original Sound." His music incorporates a wide variety of music genres including but not limited to rap, funk, rock, and reggae. The lyrics frequently focus on promoting a "positive message" while at times expressing criticism of mainstream hip hop culture's obsession with money, fame and glorification of violence. A musician as well as a producer, k-os has written and produced a large portion of all four of his albums. k-os usually performs with a live band, something that is uncommon in the hip hop genre. He sometimes plays guitar and keyboard both during live performances and in the studio.

k-os received his first musical exposure with the single "Musical Essence," released in 1993. After the release of his second single "Rise Like The Sun" in 1996 he withdrew from the industry because he was dissatisfied with his musical style. He reappeared briefly in 1999 and released his debut album Exit in 2002. The album received positive reviews but sold relatively few copies. He released his second album Joyful Rebellion in 2004, which received platinum status in Canada. Joyful Rebellion received positive reviews, but at times was criticized for speaking extensively on the state of hip hop. k-os's third album, Atlantis: Hymns for Disco, was released in 2006, and his fourth album entitled Yes! was released in April of 2009.
